BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz dismissed speculation of the Buffalo Bills relocating if a deal can’t be negotiated for public funds to pay for the construction of a new stadium.
Poloncarz, however, did issue a warning on Wednesday by saying the state and county won’t be writing what he called “a blank check,” to pay for what is projected to cost at least a $1 billion.
“We will get a deal done,” he said in speaking the most extensively on the stadium issue since negotiations began two months ago. “It’s just got to be a fair deal for all.”
