January 12, 2012 Buffalo News article re: City of Lack. vs. Sorrento/Lactalis
The Appellate Division agreed with Devlin for the most part, although it slightly modified her ruling that the 2009 ordinance was unconstitutional.
The city can make a motion for the Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, to consider another appeal. But the city’s legal stance to date has been criticized by some residents as a poor use of taxpayer dollars.
“I’m awaiting the city attorney’s review of the decision, and once I get up to speed with what’s going on, I’ll make an executive decision from there,” said Mayor Geoffrey Szymanski, who took office Jan. 1.
In her ruling, Devlin stated that South Park Avenue, Route 62, was a “state highway” for its entire length. But the Appellate Division declared that Devlin “erred in determining that South Park Avenue is a state route within the city.”
Stay tuned folks....this one is A LOT bigger time and $$money$$ situation that powers to be want to put us into AGAIN unnecessarily, than many realize!
No offense, but I can't stop cracking up at the statement, " once I get up to speed " on January 12 and then was quoted in the News on Jan 29, 2012 stating the City was going to appeal AGAIN! BIG $$$$$$$ folks!
Complain now or the next time you buy a pizza to feed the family and it is $20.00..........don't say a word to Bella because the mozzarella went up to pay for this HUGE Lawsuit again!
It will be YOUR FAULT for NOT contacting the Mayor and Council with YOUR opinion! Remember they are YOUR voice in City Hall and LOTS of Lackawanna citizens are employed at Sorrento!
P.S. Don't you think sitting " 6 " years on the City Council already had a certain someone already, " up to speed " on ALL City business? :rolleyes:
