Erie County Legislator Edward Rath was pleased to learn that a lawsuit attempting to stop development at Erie Community College’s North Campus has been dismissed.

I am pleased to learn that a notable number of students are taking advantage of the FASNY tuition program and committing themselves to serve their volunteer fire company. This program is a great benefit for the community, fire departments, ECC and students. I hope that we continue to see an increase in participation and applaud those who have enrolled in the program, earning a quality education while serving those in need.
