Poloncarz says that people have the individual right to refuse vaccination, but they don't have the right to attend Bills/Sabres games if it puts others at risk. "There is no God-given right to attend a football game." Goals is to put policy in place by preseason in July.

"Our goal is to have a 100% full house for the Bills and the Sabres, starting in the fall," Poloncarz said. He said he's spoken with the Bills and believes they support the county's plans. Says people can make a personal choice not to be vaccinated, but will be denied entry.

Hmm. @Uber and @lyft having an impact? Drunken-driving arrests dip 10 percent over the summer, says @markpoloncarz .

The coming departure of @BuffaloGuild member and @TheBuffaloNews columnist @seankirst is a tremendous loss to both the paper and our community. He's an inspiration who makes everyone's hearts bigger, and the students at @LeMoyne will be lucky to experience that firsthand.

A touch of personal news: I have accepted a position that begins next month as journalist-in-residence at @LeMoyne in Syracuse, a once-in-a-lifetime chance at age 61 to teach journalism, writing and storytelling based on 47 years in the profession.

This video highlights some of the great @TheBuffaloNews layouts our designers have created -- and how @LeeEntNews wants the right to strip that all away. Demand more of your hometown paper!

When it comes to @TheBuffaloNews , presentation matters. Even though our paper has won international design awards, @LeeEntNews wants to outsource the editing & design of the print paper and have pages put together by a company hub in the Midwest. This community deserves better.

Erie County officials knew it would happen when the shutdown ended, but the numbers are still worrisome: More younger adults and youth are being diagnosed with Covid-19. And the county has seen an uptick in hospitalizations.

So. I've written or contributed to six stories in eight hours today, all related to the @buffalobills stadium deal. Might be a record but not sure. On days like this, I'm proud to work with so many other talented reporters to give readers unrivaled, in-depth stadium coverage. 1/7
