Erie County Legislators Joe Lorigo, Frank Todaro, Chris Greene, and John Mills are calling on County Executive Poloncarz, Empire State Development, and the Bills organization to publicly release the study that was conducted regarding a potential new stadium.

The legislators clocked in a resolution Friday morning noting PSE has publicly acknowledged presenting the study to both New York State and Erie County officials. Once the plan is finalized, it will come before the Erie County Legislature for approval. Legislators have not yet been part of any discussion and have not received any communication regarding the study.

Legislator Todaro said, “As the oversight body of Erie County government, we will eventually be asked to approve plans for a new stadium. At this point all third party remarks on the stadium project are hearsay until I see the written facts. It’s disrespectful to both legislators and taxpayers to continue to keep these negotiations shrouded in secrecy. We are asking all those involved to be more transparent throughout this process.”
