Erie County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw hosted numerous elected leaders and lawyers from Ukraine recently as part of Open World 2018 through the International Institute of Buffalo to discuss Erie County’s strong efforts to combat human trafficking.  Most of Comptroller Mychajliw’s family were born in Ukraine and came to the United States in 1965.  The delegation of Ukrainian lawyers and public officials flew in from Ukraine to meet with Comptroller Mychajliw.

Erie County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw Jr. supported the Wabick Kids Lemonade and Cookie Stand on Sunday, June 3th, 2018, and honored Joscelyn, Jude, Jianna and Jessica for being “Ride for Roswell Champions” and demonstrating incredible leadership and compassion for all those who fight. Comptroller Mychajliw purchased $20 worth of home-baked goods, and then thanked their parents, Bobbie and Jason, for inspiring the young philanthropists to be engaged in the community and this important fight. 

Erie County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw Jr. uncovered a pay discrepancy that shows Erie County is underpaying CSEA employees that work second or third shift. A report that examined the current CSEA contract found that the agreed upon pay increase for these employees has not been implemented, despite being approved by the Legislature in January of 2018.
