Hey, people of Buffalo! Sean Peek here with a fresh edition of the Buffalo Daily. First, today's weather: Snow and rain in the morning. High: 43 Low: 32. Here are the top stories in Buffalo today: Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown has declared victory in the race for City Hall, although Democratic challenger India Walton has not yet officially conceded. Brown, who ran a successful write-in vote campaign, has been mayor of Buffalo since 2006 and if declared winner, would be elected mayor for a historic fifth term. Walton said in a statement on Twitter, "it seems unlikely that we will end up with enough votes to inaugurate a Walton administration in January."

The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Common Council Chambers, located at 65 Niagara Square.

He was granted Youthful Offender status and pleaded guilty in September to one count of Assault on a Peace Officer, Police Officer, Firefighter or Emergency Medical Services Professional (a violent felony), and two counts of Assault in the Second Degree.
