If you were unable to attend the March 12 Erie County Council Meeting to rescind the Gannon lease you should take some time to watch it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0Ma76UQMcc
For months taxpayers have been doing research and have shared important information that demonstrate why this lease is so bad for the library and for Erie County Taxpayers. Read the lease here
We know we have a solid four votes but we will need a fifth to override what is sure to be a Brenton Davis Veto.
WE MUST CONTACT these Council members who voted for the lease JIM WINARSKI, ELLEN SCHAUERMAN AND CHARLIE BAYLE and tell them them must vote for the best interests of the taxpayers they represent and rescind the lease!
When emailing them be sure to include the entire County Council so everyone knows how many people are contacting them.

https://www.ncronline.org/news/pa-catholic-universitys-plan-lease-public-library-space-sparks-debate We are not against Gannon's Project NePTWNE. We are against their refusal to stop spreading misinformation about "flexible space" and their insistence on taking space in our public library when thousands of people are against a private Catholic University building a research lab in our public library.
