Balls.

[WNYresident]

How about not terminating a worthwhile program because of political posturing. If Collins wants to bust the unions he should have the balls to say so openly!

It's not up to Chris to bust the unions.

It's up to us to build our community not Chris. There's no reason to bust the unions. We need to bust the monopoly of having the service provider CESA/AFSCME/WHATEVER being the only one allowed to service our community.

Why hasn't ORLANDO registered yet. He wants our business? He comes to us.. We don't go to him.

Does Danny Wegman tell you he'll sue you if you don't by food from him? Does Channel 7 tell you they will sue your company if you want to use channel 2 to advertise? Does the Roto Rooter Man tell you he'll sue you if you use your nieghbor to fix your leak for free?

Can someone post Orlando's email for me?

Who is the head of the AFSCME? What is thier email? I only found a contact form on thier website.

On top of it all--- this is not a worthwhile program. You can say it is all you want, but it is not going to make it so.

Listen to you.

"Get me this, get me that!"
hop skip jump! :D

next thing 'ya know, you'll be organizing a revolt!

[WNYresident]

We are not at critical mass... close though. :)

[WNYresident]

To stand in the way of something for our community's kids... Doesn't that just piss you off?

[WNYresident]

And then go to the park....

and see this.

This equipment could be in our community being used by kids... wether is was in OP or buffalo.. but it sits....

But we will get sued if we volunteer and put some up...

I've been stewing since the moment I heard... we'll sue you... :)

The Parks Department should be ashamed. What is Andy Sedita doing now? Unemployment, I bet.

You know what you should do? Organize a bunch of guys with sanders and on the same day that the Menth0latum group is putting together the playground, you start sanding those awful picnic tables and benches!?! If they dare raise a fuss, we'll call CNN! :D

They'll look like a bunch of schmucks.

So what do you think they would do?

Physically stop people from acutally cleaning up the parks?

I think what he is tring to get at is he would like to contact Orlando directly to get his side of the story instead of some random person with the union.
The same as sending an E-mail to eriecounty@eriecounty.gov and it actually reaching Collins him self.

While you've asked some very important questions with these threads, that has to be the dumbest and most inaccurate analogy yet.

That's why I would like him to register and just say what he said.

If someone in Collins office it lieing about the comment "I'll sue you" we should get to the bottom of this.
