• ; Re-Election Campaign Energized by Surplus

Although Erie County Executive Chris Collins officially declared his bid for re-election way back in March, you might say he launched his real campaign Monday, with sparkling budget numbers he said represent a "fiscal future that is stronger than ever. Collins released statistics that all trend in a positive direction, including a midyear surplus of about $13 million. He said he expects the rosy budget figures to continue throughout the rest of the year and strongly hinted that they will form the foundation of his campaign against Democrat Mark C. Poloncarz, the county comptroller.

He's getting an early start against a Republican field that's still undefined, but he's saddled with an ailing economy that still isn't working for millions of voters.
