The Erie County Legislature voted unanimously in support of Legislator Mills’ resolution directing the County Executive, Pegula Sports and Entertainment, and New York State to release their study regarding a potential new stadium.

However, when discussing an amendment to the resolution, Democrats in the Legislature voted against an additional clause that would require representatives from each legislative caucus be present during negotiations.  Legislator Mills voted in support of the measure to have legislative representatives present during meetings between the County and Pegula Sports Entertainment.

Legislator Mills said, “The current Bills stadium sits in Orchard Park, which makes up part of my legislative district. Regardless of what the plans are with the new stadium, it will impact ECC South and it will impact taxpayers in this community and beyond. As legislators, we need to know what’s going on before we vote on a final product.”
