Wallenda fires back at Mayor Dyster

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WIVB) – Daredevil Nik Wallenda is firing back at the mayor of Niagara Falls over a money squabble.

Mayor Paul Dyster claims Wallenda owes the city $25,000 in security costs, which the tightrope walker says he has already settled with the state.

The city council agreed with Wallenda, passing a resolution last week directing Dyster to stop his efforts to collect that money.

Wallenda says the mayor still claims he needs to pay up.

So the daredevil issued a statement overnight reading in part, “My contract was with New York State…Because there is not a contract with the city of Niagara Falls, there is no bill. To suggest otherwise is a blatant misrepresentation…I have fulfilled my contractual obligations to the fullest extent, and have magnificent memories of my time in Niagara Falls.”

Another look at the Parkway – Road to prosperity? [by Dan Davis]

OK, I am going to admit it. I am no Urban Planner. Nor am I educated in Community Development. I don’t have a law degree or an MBA. I worked in plant maintenance for 36 years, for the most part as a mechanic, but most of the last 10 of those years as a consultant to plant maintenance. I helped implement computerized maintenance systems, trained plant personnel in planning and scheduling, trained maintenance mechanics and designed maintenance storerooms.
