A man who is facing financial challenges in both Buffalo and North Carolina has been served with subpoena papers by the New York State Attorney General.
David Tomasello, a former local resident, is facing nearly $3 million in fines for environmental violations dating back to 2008. His Lake Front Recycling firm in Lackawanna was cited at that time for multiple waste violations. He is also being sued for $1 million dollars after accusations of financial malfeasance by business investors in a Carolina beverage company.
Tomasello came to the attention of state authorities as he attempted to negotiate a local real estate deal.
