Pocketeer Billiards is family owned and operated by Barry and Cindy Gluckstein.  While they serve food and beverages, their main source of revenue comes from patrons buying such items while shooting pool and playing pinball. I’ve been there many times.  It’s a wonderful, family friendly business.

Like many other struggling establishments, they simply cannot make up for their losses with take-out orders.  If they are not allowed to reopen soon, there is a good chance they’ll have to close their doors for good. 

The Office of Erie County Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw released a report to the Erie County Legislature today on the overtime costs of political appointees, officially called Managerial Confidential (MC) workers, incurred as a result of COVID-19. 

Comptroller Mychajliw: Today my office received copies of numerous emails sent to and amongst Department of Social Services employees in the Child Support Offices on the second floor of the Rath Building. The email directs Social Services employees to empty their own garbage due to a shortage of staffing.
