Ex-Town Supervisor Mary Hosler filed a lawsuit against current Evans Town Board members Michael Schraft and Jeanne Macko, accusing them of defamation over comments they made about her accepting a $6,000 health insurance benefit.
The article from The Buffalo News discusses a lawsuit filed by Mary Hosler, Michael Schraft, and Jeanne Macko against the Town of Evans, alleging that the town's decision to sell the Sturgeon Point Marina to a private developer was improperly handled. The plaintiffs argue that the sale, which was approved by the Town Board in a 3-2 vote, lacked transparency and did not follow proper procedures for public asset disposal. They claim that the marina, a public asset, should have been subject to a more open bidding process or at least a public referendum. The lawsuit seeks to have the sale voided, arguing that the process was not only secretive but also potentially detrimental to public interest, as the marina has been a community resource for decades. The contention centers around the lack of public involvement and the potential for the marina to become less accessible to the public under private ownership.
