As reported by the Business First of Buffalo: "The Niagara Frontier
Transportation Authority has been removed from the laundry list of
defendants in a civil lawsuit filed, aimed at preventing the Seneca Nation
of Indians from building the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in downtown
Buffalo. "In an agreement with Citizens for a Better Buffalo, the group that
filed both state and federal lawsuits concerning the planned downtown
casino, the NFTA was stricken from the defendants list.

".The NFTA had been included because the authority and the Seneca Gaming
Corp. had been negotiating about the possibility of the 100,000-square-foot
casino going in the second floor of the historic DLW Terminal, a building
the authority owns. Those talks have long since broken off."
