Investigative Post produced another bumper crop of hard-hitting stories in 2017. The best ones? We’ll leave that up to you readers to decide.

Dan Telvock continued his relentless coverage of lead poisoning in Buffalo’s inner-city, radioactive contamination in Niagara County and pollution along Scajaquada Creek. Charlotte Keith exposed yet more wrongdoing and broken promises involving the Buffalo Billion. Daniela Porat documented abuse and other shortcomings in the Buffalo Police Department.

Investigative Post Editor Jim Heaney selected 10 stories for consideration as the best of 2017. They include, in no particular order:

• Entrepreneurs take state grants and flee WNY (43North)
• Buffalo police who cross the line (Strike Force)
• Failing kids with lead poisoning
• Upstate job growth sluggish despite massive subsidies
• Scant oversight of Buffalo police
• A threat to Scajaquada Creek – and neighbors
• IBM another Buffalo Billion letdown
• City Hall ignoring police mandate (accreditation)
• Perks of LPCiminelli’s Buffalo Billion contract
• City Hall slow to enforce lead measures

Now, it’s your turn. Vote in the poll below for your top story among the candidates listed immediately above.

You’re permitted to vote only once. We’ll post the results the first week of January.

So, what do you think our best story of the year is?
