BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- The North Tonawanda Common Council on Saturday requested a "thorough review" of Mayor Austin Tylec's conduct, after Tylec sent two police officers to a business to question a resident about a spoof Facebook page critical of the elected leader. The Facebook page, which Tylec said existed for two years and continued to confuse residents, has since disappeared. He said the page posted false information and egregious statements.

Tylec said the picture was a fake. Quinn accused the mayor of abusing his power and weaponizing the police department for his benefit.
