Some city lawmakers in Buffalo want a local law firm to stop running a TV commercial that was filmed inside the Common Council Chambers. The Buffalo News reports that the ads touting personal injury firm Cellino & Barnes were filmed in the chambers on a Saturday in June after the building was closed to the public.
The city prohibits commercials from being filmed in City Hall. Common Council President David Franczyk said he never was informed of any plans to film a commercial in the ornate chamber. Majority Leader Richard Fontana told the newspaper that he wants the firm to stop running the ads.
