Another week, another stream of contestants on the
reality show playing out at Trump Tower. The biggest winner seemed to be
Kanye West, who got an unexpected meeting with the president-elect. The
loser though? Trump Grill, which Vanity Fair said “could be the worst restaurant in America.” At least our losers can breathe a sigh of relief that they weren't caught up in that circus.
Winners
Louis Ciminelli -
Buffalo’s biggest developer may still have a whole heap of trouble to
deal with, but at least one legal battle is going his way. A judge ruled
this week that a case brought by the Buffalo School Board - the effort
led by Ciminelli’s longtime rival in the ego-driven Western New York
real estate world, school board member Carl Paladino - alleging that his
company had withheld information in an effort to inflate profits on a
$1.3 billion reconstruction contract would be dismissed. With that out of the way, now all he has to worry about are those pesky federal bid-rigging charges.
Joseph Emminger - The town of Tonawanda supervisor breathed a sigh of relief this week, as investments from GM and a Japanese tire maker
will retain more than 2,000 jobs and add new employment in his Western
New York burg. While Gov. Andrew Cuomo came to town to shake hands and
plenty of state legislators showed up to laud the new investment - the
companies plan to spend more than $370 million - Emminger was the one
with the most to lose, as the future of the GM plant was uncertain, and
so is the real winner here.
