Forum: City of Lackawanna Politics

Who do you prefer to be the council president for the next four years? Haxton has been on the council before as the first ward councilwoman. Ahmed and Pirowski are new as politicians. Haxton is on her own sunshine line Pirowski is on the Democratic, Conservative, and Independant lines Ahmed...

Now that we have elected a Plumber to run the city down the drain/toilet it is only beginning to show the true colors of the city with the recent scandal. Mayor Polanski makes deals for election votes and jobs is appaling. Yes caught on tape he was using his authority as they usually do. I would...

My neighbor brought over a letter he received through the mail regarding what appears to be defamatory comment from Chuck Jaworski regarding Italian ethnicity. The letter states that Mr Jaworski chastised the chairman of the event at the Lake Erie Club - Big Band Concert for having Geoff...

walt is the most qualified for the job and will make the city a better place.....

Looks like nothing changes in Lackawanna when it comes to political signs. It seems that the targets of stealing and defacing of these signs have primarily been Pirowski and Watkins. And the point is...? One thing is ISN'T is mature!

I was looking through a Front Page form earlier this year. This guy Nowak wrote an article in it. I was wondering why I didn't see anymore articles about him so I googled his name and this is what came up. One of many articles on his website. Now I know why there were no more articles in the Front...

Posted on the PoliticsNY.net website this morning: "Looks like former Lackawanna Mayor Norman Polanski will announce for the Mark Schroeder seat (who will resign the Assembly by Aug. 30th). Polanski is looking for the endorsement over Higgins operative Chris Fahey."

I was at City Hall today to review things for the upcoming grievance day for the assessments and I ran into Andrea who was there to clear out her office. Mr. Noman happened to be there meeting with Chuck Jaworski. Abdul and I talked on our way outside and I asked him if his inauguration was...

I have just been learning about some of the benefits that are afforded to our civil servants. For starters I was informed that the work day for the people in City Hall is from 9:00 AM till 4:30 PM included in these hours of work is a hour lunch, that means these people are actually working per say...

According to the newspaper article in today's Buffalo News, Lackawanna once again hired the law firm of Hodgson Russ (this time paying $20,000 on "it's most recent" litigation) to go after the Erie County Industrial Development Agency for "back taxes." The original case began in September 2010, a...

Looks like former Lackawanna Mayor Norm Polanski (D) will announce for Mark Schroeder's Assembly seat. Polanski is looking for the endorsement over Higgins operative Chris Fahey. Please Polanski is not a good choice! For the love of god look around people!

Given today's political environment, how important is it for a candidate to receive the endorsement from the AFL-CIO?

WHILE READING THROUGH THE VARIOUS THREADS, I CAME ACROSS THIS ONE. I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST READ IT, I DISMISSED IT. HOWEVER, THIS WEEKEND, I MET A "VOTER" RIGHT HERE IN LACKAWANNA WHO CONFESSED THAT: (1) SHE'S REGISTERED, BUT DOESN'T REMEMBER WHICH PARTY SHE'S REGISTERED WITH BECAUSE SHE'S...

This is a day of technology. More and more people pay their bills on the internet. Most people text, email, tweet and use the social media to communicate with each other. Even political campaign contributions can be sent via the internet. All the grocery stores, drug stores, and convenient...

There was a study recently in Philadelphia by the Public Health Management Corporation about poor health. While reviewing the data, something caught the eye of the local newspaper staff writers. "one-third of young adults aged 18-29 had a feeling of DISTRUST OF THEIR NEIGHBORS." As the columnist...

Has anyone seen the recent article in the Front Page regarding the sale of the land located on Ridge Road in the first ward? Mr.McCusker emphasized how the political arena is dividing the 1st ward. Mr. McCusker took the stance on how the vote unanimously was passed for the sale of the land. Two...

I think I need a "Bond 101" course. When the City is referring to "a 5 million dollar bond" to repair the roads and firehalls, that's a LOAN - am I correct? Who, exactly, buys a 5 million dollar bond? Does a bond increase taxes for the property owners? Does the City need to put up collateral? ...

This was sent to me, interesting: Will you ever sell your house after 2012? Call your Democratic Senator's Office to confirm this hidden fact about the ObamaCare regulation. Of, course in Kentucky we don't have a Democratic Senator! . . .but does our Republican Senators know this little...
