Not your same old rhetoric, just the facts.

We know you've had enough
campaigning. So have we. We
are a group of concerned
citizens that want our friends
and neighbors to know the
truth about Councilman Sam

This photo, of 1809 Pierce A venue, shows one of Councilman
Fruscione's blighted "rental" properties- overgrown with grass
and trees, and with siding falling off the walls. If you look closely,
you can see that the front door is boarded up- just the type of
place that makes our city a laughing stock
On May 13, 2013, the Niagara Gazette quoted Sam as saying,
"There's a difference between working poor who are having

healthcare buyout, your Council salary, your other rental properties, and your job with the school
district, you make plenty of money. Fruscione is part of the problem with blight in our city.

always this way. Just last
February, the Reporter
explained Sam's corrupt
"Landlord Licensing"
program, enacted in February
201 0: "the landlord licensing
program was Fruscione's
brainchild. Hardworking
people who own rental
property in the city, who
already pay some of the
highest real estate taxes in the
country, are forced to cough
up another $25 or $50 for a
piece of paper. FaHure to do
so can resu It in fines of up to
$2,500... Has the law
benefitted the citizens of
Niagara Falls in any way,
shape or form?
Well, kind of. It has been a
boon for Randy Ubriaco, who
formerly an unemployed
lackey of Fruscione' s but was
elevated to the exalted
position of landlord licensing
clerk shortly after the law was
passed ...
As a member of the Pine
Avenue Bu iness Association
Board of Directors in 2009,
Ubriaco was at the center of a
criminal investigation that
resulted when tens of
thousands of dollars m
insurance premiums paid by
members seemingly vanished
into thin air ... "
This was neither the first nor
last time that Sam used YOUR
tax dollars to make his friends
a little extra cash on the side.
