With apologies to David Letterman, here’s our list – in no particular order – of the Top 10 stories we produced in 2022.

Geoff Kelly, our senior reporter, produced three of them:

• Roswell Park’s connection to a Russian oligarch. 
• Retired supervisors testify in a federal lawsuit that Buffalo police often use the N word. Link
• Black officers in another lawsuit contend a police captain went on a racist rant. Link

J. Dale Shoemaker, who joined the staff this summer, reported on the huge subsidies Amazon received to locate a warehouse in Niagara County and Erie County’s intent to break with past practices and exempt the new Buffalo Bills stadium from undergoing a full-blown environmental impact study.

Jim Heaney produced two reported “Outrages & Insights” columns that detailed the rise of the radical right in Western New York and segregation in the City of Buffalo.

I’Jaz Ja’ciel’s first investigation for us was a doozy: Buffalo’s sky-high evictions of low-income renters.

Finally, here’s two stories from reporters who left us this summer:

• Layne Dowdall’s report on Buffalo cutting down twice as many trees as it plants, with particularly devastating impact on the East Side.
• Mark Scheer’s report on the hidden cost to taxpayers of hosting the Bills at Highmark Stadium.

Now it’s your turn. Tell us your favorite story in the online poll below.
