Grand Island Supervisor John Whitney will resign from his position next week, an abrupt departure that hands the job to one of the candidates running to replace him.
Candidates who challenged the Republican-endorsed slate won upset victories in Tuesday s primary election for the GOP line in Grand Island races in November.
Establishment and incumbent candidates won across the board in this week’s primaries for Buffalo Common Council. In Erie County’s northern suburbs, it was a different story.
I have lived on Grand Island since 1987. My wife, Leslie (Elias) Madigan, is a lifelong Islander. Leslie and I raised two boys (young men), William and Matthew, who both attended and graduated from the Grand Island School District. We are both currently raising two cats (Murdock and Kitty) and a dog (Nilla). I am an avid hunter, fisherman, enjoy skiing in the winter and sailing in the summer (crew in races on Lake Erie).
