Gawel Gears Up for Council Bid

By Tony Farina

It may be early, but former Niagara Falls councilmember Michael Gawel is planning another political comeback to bring his legal and accounting experience to the city by running for one of the three open council seats next year and he has already tossed his hat into the ring.

In fact, Michael, who heads his own accounting and tax office, is planning a little soiree on Oct. 14 at Wilbur’s at 5 p. m. called the Bills Elvis and the Tailgaters.

Gawel, a CPA who also has a law degree, says he pledges to do his best to help Niagara Falls get to the promised land, or at least to a better place in the future by helping lead the way to better development projects and relieve taxpayers of the tax burden they now face with new ideas on increasing the tax base.

Gawel is a property owner, a taxpayer, and a strong advocate for the city with a wealth of government and accounting experience that could add a talented and hardworking lawmaker to the city council.
