Thank you News 4 WIVB Buffalo for having me on top discuss the 2026 Budget. We passed a fiscally sound budget that doesn’t abandon our values or our commitment to serving the people of Erie County. We were able to do that while still lowering the Property Tax rate for our residents.

Today’s passage of the Erie County Budget reflects what happens when we truly listen to the public and stay focused on shared priorities. Residents made it clear that a $20 million jail study was not the direction they wanted for our community, and I’m proud that we removed that funding. Many of the amendments we advanced found common ground with the Minority Caucus, proving that when we work together, we can deliver meaningful, responsible change. This budget also ensures parity for Community Benefit funds across every legislative district, so all of our communities receive fair investment and support. I’m grateful for the collaboration that made this possible and for the residents who continue to guide our work.

The county’s property tax rate, the amount of taxes charged for every $1,000 of assessed value to property owners, is also falling again to historically low levels – from $3.29 to $3.09 – thanks to increasing property values and new development.

PLEASE SHARE! IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT A SCAM PHISHING EMAIL PURPORTING TO COME FROM ERIE COUNTY:

ERIE COUNTY DIVISION OF EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY ALERTS MWBE BUSINESS OWNERS OF POTENTIAL PHISHING EMAIL SCAM

Local Business Owners Receive Fake Email Telling Them to Click Link, Recertify with Erie County

If Link is Opened, Critical information Could Be Exposed

ERIE COUNTY, NY— The Erie County Division of Equal Employment Opportunity (“EEO”) is warning Minority & Women Owned Business Enterprises (“MWBEs”) of a phishing email scam targeting them and which could result in the exposure of sensitive business information. The EEO Division was notified today of an email that circulated telling MWBE business owners that it is time to recertify with Erie County; however, the email did NOT originate from the EEO Division and contained a link that, if clicked on, would lead to all that company’s information being exposed.

“We became aware of this phishing scam earlier today when a local business owner received the suspicious email and notified us,” said Director of the Division of Equal Employment Opportunity Andrew McLaren. “Wisely, that person did not open the link in the email but instead sent it immediately to our attention. Scams like this rely on recipients not looking closely at who’s sending the email, are there typos in the subject line or other errant symbols, or other red flags associated with scams. The most important thing to remember is, if it looks even a little suspicious, don’t open the link.”

The Division of EEO will be contacting all certified MWBE business owners to let them know that the suspicious email did not originate with Erie County and that any correspondence regarding recertification would originate from the Division of EEO. Business owners are advised to be aware of and vigilant for potential scams and to contact the Division of EEO with any questions.
