It's one thing to disagree with an opinion. It's another thing to issue death threats over it. People inciting violence against @BuffaloGuild member @adamzyglis are being reported to the police and will be held accountable. See the Guild's statement below.

ICYMI: The Erie County Sheriff's Office plans to purchase two new helicopters to replace the old one it has now. But where is the money going to come from, and is there enough of it? Those are complicated questions. Read more: buffalonews.com/news/local/art…

I was saddened to write this story on the death of John Spears, director of the @buffalolibrary. As a journalist, I spoke with John many times, in good times and bad. He filled every conversation with insight, thoughtfulness and humor. buffalonews.com/news/local/art…

"CPJ is alarmed by reports of death threats against Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Adam Zyglis following the publication of an editorial cartoon in New York’s The Buffalo News. These threats of violence mark a chilling attempt to silence critical commentary, and authorities…

It was pure coincidence that the Common Council Police Oversight Committee and the Erie County Legislature midyear budget hearings were both held on the same day at nearly the same time. But anyone could have guessed Granville would be a hot topic at both. buffalonews.com/news/local/gov…

"Sickening, unprovoked assault" is Erie County Sheriff John Garcia's reaction to a clear video showing a Holding Center detainee launching a surprise attack on a jail deputy. Newer jail cameras show clear footage of the incident. buffalonews.com/news/local/art…

The job of an editorial cartoonist is to provoke thought, something @TheBuffaloNews' @adamzyglis does very well. At no time should he or his loved ones be subject to threats of violence or death because a person disagrees with his message or tone. Full statement below:

Last night’s Protect Local Journalism event at the Buffalo History Museum was postponed after cartoonist Adam Zyglis and his family received violent threats. We stand with Adam and with every journalist facing intimidation for doing their job.

This started as a routine budget transfer request to the Erie County Legislature. But then a legislator asked an unrelated question about the Clerk's Office handling of mortgage taxes. That touched all this off – even though the clerk wasn't even there. buffalonews.com/news/local/art…

ICYMI: When the Erie County Comptroller's Office raised concerns about how Explore & More children's museum was handling its money, @exploremore716 leaders said they would be making changes. But 10 months later, they won't share what those changes are. buffalonews.com/news/local/art…

Public frustration with law enforcement secrecy could not be sharper or deeper than in the case of D.J. Granville, whose three internal investigations have dragged on for months. This story looks at the long and difficult fight to bring facts to light. buffalonews.com/news/local/art…
