After Niagara Falls City Councilman Kenny Tompkins sent a letter to the NYS Comptroller’s Office asking them to review the City’s 2019 budget which includes $12.3 Million promised as an “advance” by Governor Cuomo.

Below is a letter requested by Mayor Dyster’s office from the Governor’s office confirming that the money will be delivered to the City of Niagara Falls.

The only question that remains is whether or not the legislature will approve of the expenditure, which they are required to do during the budget process in early 2019.
