""I begged for this to happen because our fund balance was way too large......Spend cash for the capital improvement instead of "floating another bond"! Save people's hard-earned money by going this route that could be used for other things like a new City Hall, Fire Houses, Community Center, etc.They went along with me but nothing happened---please explain Mr. Jaworski---where is this money? BIG MONEY.""

Follow the money...... What have they been using the Fund Balance(their slush fund) for? Where is the money from 2009 Comptroller?
What happened--there was appr. 6 million that could have paid cash for OUR roads? CDBG money??? Where is our Senator, etc.--did you ask him fellas? I know he was not your candidate( Stachowski is gone) but he did win--so ask him to help us, please? And if someone already did--Thank You!
Two years ago I got them to agree NOT to float a bond and now they want to? If they would have done the work 1 or 2 years ago we would not be in the mess they put us into now. Hmmmmm....follow the money!
Then Why Did OUR Ratings/Rank/Graduation,etc. Drop over the past 15 Years?

I fully realize that education is a combo of home-school-environment, BUT why do/did we keep falling so far below the other districts in the WNY education network? Lackawanna loves sports---who is dropping the ball?
I am very happy to hear Truman is on the move! Our babies are like sponges at that age, I see what our guy learns by the day--he can spell a few words now too. Staying on green--thanks Truman Teachers+Staff!:D
