Cheektowaga is debating a new “Good Cause Eviction” law that would require landlords to have a valid reason—like nonpayment—to evict tenants, ending arbitrary kicks out. At a recent public hearing, residents voiced strong opinions: landlords fear higher costs and more lawsuits, while supporters see it as a tool to curb slumlords and protect renters. The law isn’t new—Rochester, Poughkeepsie, and Albany already have similar rules—and Cheektowaga is now trying to strike a balance between tenant rights and landlord protections.

Preseason Showdown at KeyBank Center | Buffalo News

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warns that historic healthcare cuts—slashing over a trillion dollars from Medicaid, ACA, and critical research institutions—are devastating millions, forcing families to pay skyrocketing premiums and leaving vulnerable patients without care, as hospitals and nursing homes close across the country.

New York is defending its approach to solar energy on farmland, countering federal concerns with a detailed rebuttal that shows only a tiny fraction of prime farmland is used for solar projects—and often it’s land farmers willingly lease because it’s less suitable for traditional crops. The state emphasizes strict end-of-life regulations for panels and a commitment to restoring land to agriculture after projects end, backed by a $350 million investment to protect over 138,000 acres. Farmers are actively participating, choosing to lease marginal land for solar, proving renewable energy and agriculture can coexist without sacrificing either.

A damning audit reveals a veteran home repair program is failing veterans in dire need—only 36% of funds reached eligible recipients, and major veteran-heavy counties like Erie and Onondaga got zero support. Local groups missed outreach, state oversight was lax, and veterans often didn’t even know help existed. Assemblymember Pam Hunter, a veteran, called it unacceptable—“thank you for your service” must mean action, not empty words. The agency says it’s fixing tracking and management to get it right.

New York is cracking down on social media’s grip on teens with the SAFE for Kids Act, set to roll out next January—no more algorithm-driven feeds, midnight notifications without parental consent, and strict age verification rules forcing platforms to ditch flimsy checks.

The Buffalo Bills just dropped their new “Nickel City” alternate uniforms — a bold gray look with blue numbers in red and white, a fresh blue helmet with red stripe, and a collar paying homage to the city’s working roots. While fans are split, with some calling them “pretty cool” and others saying they “missed the mark,” the buzz is real. These threads will debut a few times this season — though exact game dates are TBD. With just 52 days until kickoff at the brand-new Highmark Stadium and a Thursday night showdown against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 17, the excitement is building — and so is the debate over whether these new threads are a hit or a miss.
