 Audit Finds Strong Internal Financial Controls And Monitoring In Place At Nfta, 1/19/05

The NFTA stonewalled LaFalce and everyone else who criticized the deal and the way the deal was reached, much as the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority (of which Kahl was also a member) had been doing in its attempt to force its anachronistic and expensive steel twin span design on Buffalo.

NFTA critics say that the agency has neither the political imagination nor will to develop or run the two airports it owns, so it has focused on Buffalo to the detriment of Niagara Falls.

The NFTA says that it's officially selected the massive Lakefront Devlopment Group's proposal as its preferred project, and has authorized the NFTA to negotiate a Memorandum of Intent.

And since the NFTA is taking the lead on this, you'd think that our local mass transit authority would recognize the desireability and importance of extending our Metro Rail to the Outer Harbor.
