Today I was proud to introduce legislation with my colleague Niagara District Council Member David A. Rivera to combat lead poisoning in The City of Buffalo.
These ordinance amendments aim to strengthen public health in our communities, especially in Broadway-Fillmore which has a high rate of lead paint in their homes.
I look forward to these items being discussed in the Common Council Committee on Legislation on November 17th via Zoom. Please refer to the press release below and link to the November 10th Council agenda for more information!

Thanks you for the hard work Councilmember Mitch Nowakowski
The City of Buffalo has a lead problem, and we're going to do something about it.
Two of three the zip codes most affected by lead poisoning are in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood. The legislation that we introduced to the Common Council today will help our neighborhoods in becoming healthy and sustainable environments for children and families that call them home.
I look forward to discussing these important issues during the Committee on Legislation on Tuesday (11/17) at 1pm and can be watched live on the Common Council page www.facebook.com/bflocc

Jackson State University Student Creates Straw That Filters Lead
"Take the responsibility of clean water directly out of the government, state and city officials hands and put it in the hands of the consumers,” said Cleanstraww creator LaMonté Pierce.
Lamonte Pierce, a 36-year-old graduate student at Jackson State, invented the “Cleanstraww,” a reusable straw that is actually a water filtration system.
Extremely happy that we were able to provide over 1000 Lead Safety Bags to residents on the East Side. I want to thank The Police Athletic League of Buffalo (PAL), The Dept of Community Services, The Dept of Citizen Services, and all other organizations involved with the outstanding efforts and outreach that it takes to make these events happen. Thank you for helping those in need, during these troubling times of a worldwide pandemic. Thank you for especially helping the children of the City of Buffalo have the necessary school supplies to achieve their academic dreams and goals! Also, shout out to Power 96.5 WNY for the video 🙌🏾✊🏽

MAKE YOUR LIVING SPACES SAFER DURING NATIONAL HEALTHY HOMES MONTH | Erie County, NY Department of Health
ERIE COUNTY, NY – With so many people now spending a significant amount of time at home, the Erie County Department of Health is urging homeowners and renters to reduce the risk of preventable injuries inside the home during National Healthy Homes Month in June.
Lead exposure can pass from mother to unborn baby, high lead levels in pregnant women can lead to high blood pressure, miscarriage, low birth weight, brain damage, and a host of other dangerous health issues.
For more information please visit getaheadoflead.org
California and U.S. health officials have detected dangerous levels of lead in 112 distinct brands of candy – most of them made in Mexico. One in four candy and wrapper samples have come up high since 1993, records show. But much of this information about tainted candy has been kept from parents and public health workers. For more information please visit getaheadoflead.org
Keep your baby safe! lead is a serious problem for unborn babies and provides simple steps to help minimize the risk of lead in your home. Please visit and follow getaheadoflead.org
Keep lead dust out of your home. Some imported plastic/vinyl mini-blinds can be lead hazards and provides a checklist to help you determine if you may have a hazard in your home
Lead dust and chips from lead-based paint are the most common source of lead poisoning. As lead-based paint ages, it can deteriorate (chip, crack, peel) because of weathering
