Latello may replace Lancasters Parks/recreation Chief

[4248]

Newly Appointed Patronage Parks/Recreation Department Recipient Mr.Latello might be moving up soon !

Word on the street is, he has had talks recently about possibly taking Terry Mc Crackens job .

A few high ranking Political types in Lancaster's inner circle have been involved .


Its not been made clear if its because Terry believes he is a viable Town Candidate or because he has caused allot of unhappiness for the Older Controlling Town Board Members ?

There has been a rift between he and a powerful local attorney lately . It seems the other attorney in the fold has no love for him either - so he wont intervene on Terry's behalf .

If Terry doesn't run for Political Office and win - his job title may be that of a "LABORER."

This would leave a opening that Mr.Latello would have no trouble securing/filling - lets face it , he needs the "Benefits" not necessarily the paycheck !

While J.C. sits and stirs the pot on all fronts - My bet is Terry will wake up and see he needs to "Pull in the horns" and slide a big chunk (Campaign Funds) of Party Loyalty to the Old Boys and be glad he has made it this far ! ;)

Why can't they hire someone out of college and fresh ideas for a position like this?

Who's the attorney?

Unless the College Grad has beep pockets and a hot local pub to use as his personal soap box - he wouldn't have a chance. ;)

[WNYresident]

The community doesn't need someone who has a chance, the community needs someone good for the job with fresh ideas if need be. THe community owes no one crap but if the community is going to have a Recreation Department person they should have someone good for the spot.

I agree, but I don't think Lancaster town officials think that way. When you bring in an outsider, especially one with "fresh ideas," you run the risk of subjecting yourself to scrutiny. Heaven forbid!

When an insider, from Lancaster's incrusted aristocracy, has "fresh ideas", they are scrutinized, criticized, cut from the herd, and demoralized.

The Town of Lancaster government is not a democracy, opened to fresh ideas.

When will the people of Lancaster WAKE UP!

I guess people in the lancaster community will have to replace the town board basically the way it happened in depew. :)

[atotaltotalfan2001]

Who's the attorney?

I'm just guessing here, but could it be Richard Sherwood, the town attorney and the voice of SEVERAL Lancaster board members who prefer being mute?:)

[WNYresident]

So was there a position opening posted somewhere for this spot?

Lancaster and Depew are two different political animals.

In the villages, people who want to run for office join an existing Party, form a new Party, or run on their own.

In the towns, the Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives, and Independents rule the roost. Yes, people can form Parties or run on their own. But the money required to do so and make an impact is out of reach of the average person.

In Lancaster, there is only one Party, the Democrats. They control the Democrat Party, Independent Party, and (somehow) always manage to get the Conservative nod.

The Lancaster Republican Party destroyed itself with infighting, lawsuits against each other, etc. The powers that be, though they fight each other, go out of their way to discourage and destroy anyone trying to reorganize and develop an effective Party.

At the moment, the only hope is that reasonable, progressive Democrats make a move to take over the Party. The chances of that happening are inestimable at the moment. There are rumblings, but the efforts are being torpedoed with every trick in the book.

There are no known individuals with the money to challenge the powers that be, at this moment.

Will what happened in Depew repeat itself in Lancaster? It's possible, but it doesn't seem likely at this time.

You obviously don't know a thing about GSHOWELL - he is and has been a "MAJOR" voice , activist , contributor to and for "POSITIVE" debate and "True" pro-active resident . He uses his own time and money. His efforts have never served anyone's Political needs.

I haven't seen anyone else - nor do I personally know anyone on this board who has devoted more energy than he has for Lancaster/DEPEW Tax Reform and Open Government .:)

You could accuse a lot of us who post here of being do nothings, but not gshowel. He is extremely active in political/government reform.

Anyone that has ever met gshowell, or knows gshowell will no doubt either get a good chuckle from that post or be fairly ticked off. He does more for the Lancaster/Depew communities than you or I could ever dream of doing.

Hey Concerned:

Mr. Howell is the one that makes your meals at the soup kitchen possible. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. :rolleyes:

Example, any example, a small tid bit??? Anything anything at all??? I hear lots of reports and opinions. If I could, I would like to help out but I need to know what he is working on.

People should get involved with clubs and or since the Oct storm at least replanting trees.

If you think I am be a smart ass, I am not. What are people doing besides wizzing words around and attacking other message posters on SpeakupWNY???? Tell me. Tell me, tell me, tell me...

OH I should be trimming the edge of my lawn right now but this stuff is priceless.

[gshowell]

A serious and well-meant thanks to everyone. You saved my butt. I was tempted to rip someone to bits and probably make an ass out of myself in the process. You saved me from my darker demons.

To concernedwnyer. I will be working for a candidate, or candidates of my choice this election season. I'm still waiting for people to announce.

Come on GS - Rip just a little - its fun to be naughty.:D

[atotaltotalfan2001]

You can defend yourself easily. Just apologize.

The member you decided to blast as a do-nothing helped create a very active taxpayer group (one of the few left in WNY). He writes for SUWNY all the time. He spends countless hours at local government meetings and has caught our elected officials trying to pull the wool over the public's eyes more than a few times. This person prepares FOILs and does independent research on issues like government spending.

He even sits down with government bureaucrats to get a better understanding of how much and/or why tax dollars are spent. Poor thing!:)

[therising]

Come on GS - Rip just a little - its fun to be naughty.:D

Why is he supposed to be defending you? :confused:

Yea, to bad they cannot become virtual and go at it right behind Ragintaxpayers butt. Of course they would have to become the supersized version....... Wishing upon a star......

[concernedwnyer]

Come on GS - Rip just a little - its fun to be naughty.:D

Yep, that makes good sense. That is what makes SpeakupWNY such a great message board to come and visit. I am sure all the other people who use to frequent this message board had other reasons for dropping off the face of the planet - NOT!


Remember two can "RIP"

Man, you really have no idea who Gshowell is. You know nothing about him regarding his integrity or his political or private positive characteristics.

To say he has contributed nothing in making our community a better place to live in is ludicrous.

Next time you bump into him at a Town or Village Board meeting say hello and get to know him. Next time he is out canvassing to help a reform candidate get elected, stop and say hello to him. Next time you attend a charitable event, share some time with him.

That is, if you do any of those things. Then again, you may be too busy cleaning up from the storm.

You are the perfect example of why people shy away. You attack those who work for reform and transparency in Government. You are just as you described - A S----T A--.
Smart may be a stretch - but the rest fits.


Try to walk the walk , then you can talk the talk!

Volunteers are asked to meet at Village Hall, 85 Manitou Street, at 9:00 AM.

Volunteers will receive a complimentary lunch.

For more information or to pre-register, please contact (716) 683-1400

Walk-In Volunteers Welcomed!

I'll be there.


Hey look, concerned .. free lunch!! :D

[concernedwnyer]

You are the perfect example of why people shy away.
I knew that was coming. Yea sure I am why people shy away from trying to improve this area. How about because people first have got to learn how to work with one another for a common goal. If it takes a little shock treatment to see that then I have plenty of juice.




You attack those who work for reform and transparency in Government. You are just as you described - A S----T A--.
Smart may be a stretch - but the rest fits.
I do not attack I just probe. What has been done for reform????? Is that a naughty question??? I am not a smart ass. There are plenty of posters on here to fit that shoe.

I glad to see some minutes of legislature's meetings that were put up but why did ittake a blow torch to get them up??????

Shock BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ



Try to walk the walk , then you can talk the talk!

When you know what you are talking about then I will accept your walk the walk phrase until then take a one way dive into a lake.

Why not just be a man about it and admit you were wrong?

How do I know these colorful facts? Damn .. it's kinda hard to miss!! Its not just me who sees it either.. re-read this thread and your posts throughout the mb. I dont see anyone rushing to your defense. It's hard for you to see what we see when you're the goat.

Of all the posts you respond to, you choose mine. I didn't ask you a question, I made an observation. So instead of responding to me with silly questions, why dont you answer the questions previously posed to you?

[concernedwnyer]

Yea it is you and it is getting kind of old. Really old…..

I do not see anyone rising to your defense.


It's hard for you to see what we see when you're the goat.

And you are becoming a complete ASS!


Of all the posts you respond to, you choose mine.

Get off the crack…… You have constantly thrown your personal attacks against me every chance you get. I post something not to you and you add a personal dig against me. Is it only a one-way street?? WNYRESIDENT knows I do not like it but he does nothing about so if he wants to be another ASS and do nothing about it on my behalf then the only thing I have left to do is attack back and sound not quite as stupid as you do.


I didn't ask you a question, I made an observation.

You made a smart assed remark, a personal attack on a post I made not to you. If you call that an observation then rephrase the observation better.


So instead of responding to me with silly questions,

Excuse me, you post this:

“you're as useful as a windshield wiper on a goat's ass” and I am the stupid one???

I will stand by my you must have experience with this scenario answer.


why dont you answer the questions previously posed to you?

Personal stupid questions do not merit an answer. This is just how stupid you sound. What questions are you talking about????? Welfare???? You know I am not on welfare that is really stupid. And if I were is it really your business????

I do not go around asking how much alcohol do you drink and I do know for a fact you do drink a good portion of alcohol.

Why do you blame me for the opinion others form about you? It's your fault for the way people respond to you.

Everyone spot picking on concerned.

[WNYresident]

But I would like both ragin/concerned to knock it off for now.

Elections are going to be here soon....

[Ragin]

I am not "picking" on concernedwnyer. He went after another poster, gshowell no less, accusing him of doing nothing, when in fact, gshowell is actively involved in his community. This is not the first time concernedwnyer has done this on the mb. There are plenty of threads to point to showing this to be a fact.

All these posts were based on concernwnyer's 1st and subsequent posts. My comment, although made in jest, was not untrue. He makes excuses for why he can't/won't get involved in community projects then ridicules others for doing so. (just read the Central Terminal thread posted by SolarEclipse)

You're right, Res. It is his fault for the way people respond to him. If he cant take it, he best stop dishing it out.

[MaddMatt]

How do the last 10 posts relate to the thread? Come on guys, I know it's tough but let's put the personal attacks somewhere else and stay on topic.

What???? I have spoken to you about this on more then one occasion in your own shop - ok. I said what have I done to Ragintaxpayer for her to constantly intercept posts and go into attack mode with me.

You have not done anything about it to try and get at the bottom of this. You come back with it is a perception thing with you.. With me, then there is a heck of a lot of perception problems with many members of this message board. Do you read the messages that are posted by members??????

I agree some of my message postings are rough but I do not go and pick up everything but the kitchen sink and throw it at another poster just for the heck of it. She has been doing that.

You want to have a debate fine then have a fair debate. You do not like something I post then say so.

I do not see many of the old timers from way back getting on here and posting anymore. I see the new bunch getting on and posting but as time will prove, I am sure they will eventually stop posting too…

me being picked on is not the issue. It is her constant butting in and attacking on issues not even related to the message thread. the issues I might add are not even 100 percent true! It is childish on her part.

[concernedwnyer]

You just verified my point - thank you!

[Ragin]

I'm done with him. He is what he is.

Past experiance has shown me that putting him on ignore won't stop his often rude and degrading comments about me, or his attacks on you, or any other member of the mb as he clearly demonstrated in his first post on this thread.

But again, I'm done with him.

[Ragin]

.
.. as demonstrated by the numerous posts throughout this thread, it's clear that your hard work as an outspoken activist in Lancaster and Depew has garnered you much acclaim and support from the residents in your community and on speakupwny. For that you should be commended. Good luck to you ....
