    Lease Problems?

    Read this at Billsdaily

    Lease In Jeopardy? The financial woes of Erie County may hit the Bills which could nullify the lease if legislators aren't careful. Two county legislators have sent the Bills a letter asking them to allow the county to forego a $3.56 Million payment that is needed to maintain the county owned stadium. If the Bills agree to this they will be picking up the tab. If they don't, and the county doesn't pay it, they will be violating the terms of the lease giving the Bills a free out and a chance to move. The County Executive was upset about the letter and doesn't feel that it should have been sent. The Bills referred the letter back to his office. There is a hearing tonight which the letter will be reviewed.
    Scary...

            What gives those two politicians the right to write that ****ing letter? I hope Ralph just laughs it off.

              You hate him almost as much as i hate Mayor Johnson. Wasting $32 million on a ****ing oversized boat that only goes to Toronto and back.

              Meanwhile, they are closing a couple schools to save money.

                    Bills bring more $$$ into WNY than they get from the county.

                    Bad move by the legislators.

                    Hmmm.....keep the Bills in WNY or finance patronage?

                    Erie County politicians should be shot!

                      Erie county is in such shambles, I can't see them making the lease payment. I mean really, where are they going to come up with the $$. I am completely amazed that the people have allowed their leaders to run the county (and the city of Buffalo) into the ground. They could not have done a worse job if they had set out to try to destroy the county.

                      The Bills are not long for Buffalo...at some point Ralph will be gone and so will our team. We should enjoy the last remaining major league sport in Buffalo while we can.
                      Hockey is gone, the Bills will be next.

                      It hurts me to say and to think that, but it is true.

                          I agree, I really dont see us being around too much longer. It will be a sad, sad day when the Bills finally leave......

                              All Bills fans can keep doing is buying tickets and merchandise and hopefully we will never see the day that this would happen!!
