OMG.........! The City of Lackawanna does just the opposite.....decisions are based solely on self-serving agendas and how many votes are in some-one's family. Votes are the name of the game in Lackawanna, NOT the community or it would showcase itself!
Decision-Facts made/allowed by Lackawanna Govenment Officials::
Decision to NOT let Department Heads-bosses/employees think for themselves...in other words a Dictatorship style of management rules the orange crate!
Decision to let "selective enforcement" of the law be the way it is in Lackawanna, in other words, "It is WHO you know and Who you ...."!
Decision on the 2008 "ELECTION YEAR BUDGET" Raises-----HUGE raises were voted in as a legal payback for City employees as a reward for their previous year's efforts to re-elect "Team Polanski"!
Decision and vote to give a huge $15,000 "Retirement Incentive Bonus" out of OUR City Fund balance to employees who were going to retire anyway on top of their NYS Retirement Bonus!
Decision and vote to give certain employees "employment time" in 2009 to make them eligible to receive the $15,000 City of Lackawanna Retirement Bonus!
Decision to allow "double dipping" of certain Lackawanna employees who already retired from the City, to be allowed to continue to work for 19 hrs/wk at $30,000/yr!
Decision to use the Lackawanna Fund Balance to create a millions$$+ subdivision ghost town without a proper market study---marketing program!
Decision to NOT disclose the Wind Mill monies negotiations-contracts with the Public!
Decision to let certain folks buy City property at give away prices and let them get away with breaking the covenants!
Decision to let a certain City employee who has his own business get City paid for side jobs WITH the City!
Decision to condone City paid for vehicles/gas for certain employees to take home, cocktail parties, Red Robin, Wayside, etc!
Decision to purchase whatever the team wants to with City Funds and no one, I mean none of them question the AP Check Registers!
Decision to let the condemned City Hall Structure continue to crumble and leave it for the next guy to deal with!
Decision to let our City playgrounds continue to be unsafe!
Decision to let a multitude of City paid for cell phones be used for private use (police exception)!
Decision to pave certain streets only in the City of Lackawanna!
Decision to never monitor what City employees are using the Internet for on the public dime!
Decision to play the unfair property assessment game!
Decision to play the political patronage---gain game!
Decision to let for in "name of the community" never be the mindset of the greedy ones ( who pretend to be a Public Servant--NOT everyone, thank goodness----I realize there are great people who work for the City of Lackawanna who want the free-for-all and unfairness to just STOP!) in Lackawanna City Hall!
Decision to NOT put a painted on City SEAL on ALL City of Lackawanna owned vehicles! (not a magnet like a certain high-up guy wanted)
Decision to keep the PUBLIC in the dark about what goes on behind the scenes in City business, especially DEVELOPMENT!
Have the Voters DECIDED to let the " Lackawanna Political Machine aka Family and Friends Club " continue to get away with their mis-management of City Affairs/ Public Funds? WE who really want a nice city, MUST "OCCUPY LACKAWANNA" ! Or else.........:rolleyes:will continue to decide what......more blight for us as they fly away to their "place in Florida"?
