Lead reduction and tax hikes neglected by Buffalo

Lead reduction and tax hikes neglected by Buffalo

There is a major lack of follow-through on lead reduction in Buffalo. Lead paint can cause serious harm to children. Add to that the fact that eight years ago, fluoride was secretly taken from the city’s water supply. This leads to costly dental damage for children. And now Mayor Byron W. Brown wants to raise city taxes by a whopping 9 percent. Something is wrong with this image.
