In case you missed the announcement, Bishop Kmiec recently announced the formation of another commission. This time "The Journey to Avoid Housing Court" is composed of the following members:
While Bishop Kmiec continues to reside at 79 Oakland Place, in the most expensive (highest assesment) residence in the City of Buffalo, it's helpful to remember what happens to former Catholic Church property when it's "flipped" to unsuspecting and irresponsible owners on Buffalo's east-side.

Absent are members of the various communities who have to live next to the Bishop's neglected and abandoned buildings here in Buffalo. Remember this place...the former Immaculate Conception...at the corner of Edward and Elmwood. Bishop Kmiec closed this building four months ago and claimed that the structure was unsafe and needed $800K of repairs. As of last week there was still no housing court file.

This exercise, that I've called "Journey to Avoid Housing Court" is simply a thinly veiled attempt to make the process appear more transparent than it really is. If you have any additional information about this "process" ask one of the commission members and let me know.
