Good morning, Buffalo. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 15th of July.

WBEN
- ➤ Felice Brodsky-Brinkley recalled her 1976 romance with mobster Robert Reingold, who was killed in Buffalo in a gangland execution, and she said her actions may have led to his unsolved murder—police have made no arrests in nearly five decades. The Buffalo News
CULTURE NEWS
- ➤ Buffalo’s summer brings many events, with Chef Darian’s Jamaican Market Festival at Larkin Square on July 17 and the Buffalo Zoo’s Zoomagination Lantern Festival lighting animal-themed trails until October 5. Residents can also enjoy Preservation Day on July 26 with history tours and a Concert for Unity on July 25 — offering vibrant ways to experience local culture. Buffalo Rising
- ➤ Columnist Dan Higgins explored modern art at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum as art history professor Yvonne Widenour guided him through pieces that range from familiar to challenging — showing that art can raise more questions than answers. The Buffalo News
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Last summer, some Buffalo Police supervisors discussed forming a separate union, but the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association—calling the idea treasonous—brought misconduct charges against Lt. Robert J. Mercurio, who was fined $1,250 and reprimanded in May. The Buffalo News
- ➤ The Town of Clarence will hold a public hearing on Aug. 13 at 10:15 a.m. at Town Hall to discuss proposed updates to its e-bike laws—if passed, violators of the new rules on trails could face a $250 fine or 15 days in jail and enforcement by state and county police will be allowed. WGRZ
- ➤ Cheektowaga is considering a law that would require short-term rental owners to register, pay fees, and follow occupancy and parking rules after a large party on June 7 led to neighbor complaints—while Lancaster is reviewing similar measures to protect neighborhood quality and ensure property safety. The Buffalo News
- ➤ In today’s court proceeding, the Seneca Nation asked the court to order the state to negotiate a new right-of-way for a 2.7-mile segment of the Thruway and claimed $21 million a year would be equitable compensation—citing a 1954 land deal they say was unfair. The federal lawsuit may force state officials to consider toll hikes if a court mandates renegotiations—potentially raising operating costs for the Thruway. The Buffalo News
REAL ESTATE NEWS
- ➤ A historic 75,500 square-foot site at 129-137 Tonawanda Street is now on the market for $2.15 million in a key transitional Buffalo neighborhood.
