joel Arguably the most important elected post in our region is Erie County Executive. It is also very rare that two newcomers to politics are the choices for you for such a high office when you go to the ballot machines on Tuesday.
Tonight on WICU-12.1 a debate will be aired at 7:00 PM between Democrat Barry Grossman and Republican Mike Kerner. If you can’t watch tonight, catch the two-some on WQLN-54 Thursday night also at 7:00 PM.
Thanks to Chs.12 & 54 and the rest of the media for this important opportunity to evaluate who best will lead our region into the challenging future that lies ahead.

Deep Background for May 24-30, 2009
The Press and Tower readers spent the week reeling from the news of layoffs resulting from the WSEE/WICU merger. We learned this week that conversations about the merger began last summer.
Meanwhile, we come to realize that a use of new media may have been the deciding factor in the change of the administration of Erie County. The Buzz Andrezewski YouTube’s didn’t get Mark DiVecchio in trouble in the first place, but the videos’ content may have been just enough to drive down his (and Buzz’s) negatives, leaving Democrats to vote for Barry Grossman.
All this to say that if you miss a day of The Press and Tower, you might have to play major “catch-up”.
You have the agenda when it comes to this open comment forum. You can always private message me at joel@nataliemedia.com or direct message me on Twitter @pressandtower.
Embrace the chaos!
