From the residents at 201 Ellicott: "Too long has the lack of access to fresh and affordable produce for the neighborhoods of downtown Buffalo been overlooked by city leadership; instead prioritizing the interests of developers and private businesses...
"Luke Sills was a supervisor who was fired after he joined the organizing committee for the union, he said. Sills described himself as employee of the year at one point prior to joining the committee."

This organization was founded back in 2016 when @Tesla acquired SolarCity, it was a bad deal then and it's a bad deal now. Instead of continuing to invest in the world's richest man we can invest in ourselves and create real economic development.

Halton-Pope told BTPM NPR it was “priority one” to see the money gets reinstated this fiscal year.
“We need to make sure we took care of our frontline arts,” she said.
