PRESS RELEASE

                                                                                                                            
LOCKPORT—Niagara County Legislature Chairman Wm. Keith McNall, R-Lockport, released the following statement after being notified of the planned departure of Lockport Mayor Anne E. McCaffrey and designation of Council President David Wohleben as the city’s new mayor:

“As a lifelong resident of Lockport, I couldn’t be prouder of our mayor and what she’s accomplished, and I know ENH will be in competent hands. Mayor McCaffrey always had this Government’s cooperation and support as the leader of Lockport’s government, and she will have it in her new role as leader of Lockport’s hospital. We know her to be a woman of her word and a partner who can be trusted.

“I’m also gratified to see Alderman Dave Wohleben will be our new mayor. Alderman Wohleben is an innovative leader and the kind of person who could always be counted on as a strong voice for common sense. He will be an asset to this city, and he will always be able to count on this Government to work closely with him in the same spirit of partnership Lockport and Niagara County enjoyed under Mayor McCaffrey.”
