The Buffalo News..

In the city, the Buffalo news paper often consist of many interesting articles which have to do with the way the city is doing. Such as new jobs, a business opening, or new talk of what the city plans on doing to attract new people or keep people here.

So this time i decided to read the local News paper and obtain some information from there. I found many interesting things. Both good and bad stories That could help out he cities case. For example an Article read "Falls plant to bring 500 jobs" articles like this are popular because it seems that in this city the employment rate is so terrible they must advertise every single job opening in order for readers to believe here are in fact jobs that are still here. (McPherson A2)

However of course there are still some negative statistics in the paper. I began o read an article tittled "Waiting For a Lifetime". As i began to read more i discovered that it was talking about the social security benefits in buffalo. One statistic really stood out. "buffalo office is ranked 19th worst in the nation". In the rest of this article Sharon Linstedt presents many different cases in which waits for a court appearance to appeal for social security could be up to 668 days. It is very interesting to me that almost every thing that follows a topic on Buffalo is followed by nations worst. These findings are interesting too me because i feel i begining to conclude on finding my answer.

Linstedt, Sharon. Waiting For a Lifetime." The Buffalo News 21 may 2008: A1.
