During all this exciting development and billions spent in every part of the city, the East Side has been like the homeless hobo standing in the snow and looking in the window at people enjoying a bounteous Christmas dinner with colorfully wrapped presents stacked under the Christmas tree. And now there’s a possible $50 million project that could happen on the East Side and people want to pull it away and put it where an obscene amount of money has already been spent. Is this the City of Good Neighbors or the City of Selfishness? Another criticism of the Central Terminal is that it’s too big for the needs of Amtrak. That’s certainly true. Beyond the platforms and tracks Amtrak only needs a small portion of the building.

We are facing a pivotal decision with the relatively modest investment for a new Amtrak station.

If we go for what sounds exciting at the moment and we shove a station underground at Canalside it will have no impact in terms of transportation, it will be small and lost among all the activity surrounding it, and ultimately no one will care. If we use it as an opportunity to light the candle that ignites the East Side "they’ll tell the story of tonight."

10 Jan 26 -Feb 1, 2017 | artvoice.com Proposed Law Requires Big Phar- ma to Pay for Disposal of Unused Drugs at Medical Facilities

A proposed new law seeks to require drug manu- facturers to pay for the collection and disposal of unused drugs at medical facilities in Erie County.

The proposed "Erie County Pharmaceutical Water Pollution Act" was authored by Legislator Patrick Burke (D-7th District) for consideration and approval by the Erie County Legislature.

Intended to reduce levels of prescription drugs found in local waters and groundwater, if approved, the law would require manufactur- ers who sell drugs in Erie County to fund the collection and disposal of unused and expired drugs at hospitals, nursing homes, hospices and other facilities in Erie County that utilize large quantities of medications.
