Dyster administration has little interest in revealing casino account growth

Niagara Reporter- · January 28, 2016

While great attention has been paid to the condition of the city’s casino revenue account, virtually nothing has been asked, much less revealed, as to how the city is using the interest earned by the many millions of casino revenue dollars that have been received and banked over the years.

The Reporter has repeatedly called for the city to post all information regarding the casino interest account and how it’s been spent or invested. After all those are taxpayer dollars. So far our request for simple and straight forward fiscal transparency has fallen on deaf ears. We’re not surprised. Our repeated recommendation that the entire city budget be posted in real time on the city website has met with similar stony silence.
