if you don't like what we say in the thread, why are you here?

You ask why I'm here if I don't like what you and others say ?

Good thing you weren't around back then.

OK kids, let's slow down for a breather here.

I noticed the Town flags are at half mast. Does anyone know why?

[erlyrizr1]

I believe it is for Sgt. Daniel Shaw, who is a graduate of W.S. West.

Thank you.

Kids ?

OK.....hhmmm.....over 500 posts from you. Lets see what you're all about. Something tells me things aren't all kosher with you.

How do you know about the new boards agenda with lazzara?

I've been affillitated with the town for many years. I know the history of Lazzara, Chris Walsh and Paul Clark. Sheila is Chris Walsh's daughter and I'm sure she wants to even the score for her old man. Why do you think that Lazzara changed the name of "West Seneca AmeriCorps" to "Western New York AmeriCorps". Maybe to move the program out of town?!

I see what you're saying but if thats the case, she's only one vote. Is he tight with Graber, Clark, and Bove? Heard he helped Piotrowski on election day. Don't understand the name change. What's the difference what they call themselves?

Sheila Meagan and Dale Clarke (not Paul Clark) could be working together. I know Dale Clarke hates Lazzara too. As for the name change, If Lazzara wants to move AmeriCorps out of WS, then Western New York AMeriCorps could go anywhere. Western New York is a much larger place then the town of WS. Shame om WS if they didn't have some legal document stating that the program belongs to the town and cannot be moved.
P.S. Bove doesn't like Lazzara either!

I understand the Constitution and your right to speak your mind. Feel free! It just seems to me that no matter what we say in this forum, you take it as a personal affront. You also seem to have a particular problem with my writings. These are my thoughts and opinions on the state of the sitting Town Board. The United States Constitution also gives me the right to express these opinions, the same as it does you.

So, instead of being defensive, offer us the insight of someone who thinks the Clark administration has not been detrimental to the town.

Explain to us how come the Seneca Mall site has remained in its current state for so long, and why Paul Clark carries a bag with the owners logo on it.

Why did Benderson halt the expansion of the Delta Sonic in WS after it was found that the property was grossly under assessed? And please, don't say they didn't know what Hummel was doing. In fact, Benderson owns several of the run down properties in town.

Why is so difficult for the average citizen to make improvements to their property, but businesses that contributed to his campaign can get things done quickly. Often to the detriment of the neighborhood, e.i. Marrano Builders.

If there is a logic and sound reason for this... do tell!

This is not the land of Psycho1, I am but a single voice in a sea of many "malcontents".

Graber's wife works for AmeriCorps. Mark only worked on Wally's campaign for his own gain. He would have worked Satan, if he thought he was the front runner.

These people really have no shame, do they. It would be interesting to see a complete list of all the Friends and Family hires in WS. I'm sure it would make Giambra look like an amateur.

Foil a list and get it started.

You want to clean up your community you have to do something about it.

NOW just because someone is related doesn't mean they are not good workers. The only issue I see when you have lots of the same families working is people become lazy over time or things are allowed to slide because well.. it's all in the family.

Hey Wantabe,

In your 4 posts you clearly seem to have a problem with Lazzara. Fair enough. You then state if Meegan were to look into Lazzara, which I would think you would appreciate and expect her to do as part of her job come Jan., you unfairly belittle her integrity by implying it's more about settling an old score for her father than what is right. You appear to have some sort of bias against her.

If Bove and Clarke look into Lazzara is it due to their diligence or is it also personal ? You can't have it both ways. It's called hypocrisy. Something that is quite prevalent in here.

Meegan and Piotrowski haven't been sworn into in office, and yet are catching more flak in here for things they have yet been able to do anything about unlike others who have been on the board and will still be after Jan 1.

Those are legitimate issues. Though I have to shake my head at how you and your gang are now adamantly holding the, as of yet inactive new boards, feet to the fire for what has gone on for the last 16 yrs. with three of them having absolutely nothing or unable to do anything about them and yet actually expect them to correct them all in an impossible timely fashion.

You asked me why I came in here if I don't like what you and those of your ilk say in here. It's the personal bias and slants that many in here who don't want to apply fairly, evenly and appropriately across the board and often with the spouting of meritless, baseless and out and out false insinuations. With some of your posts you've have helped foster this mentality.

How did Paul Notaro get on your hit list?

I do not believe Mr. Notaro is a good public officer nor do I believe he he represents the Town well in his capacity as deputy town attorney. My experience with Mr. Notaro is based upon the recent issues with Canisius High School and his conduct (not that he is defending the Town's determinations) is lackluster and uncivil to the point of being sanctionable.

First he has demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of where the money the Town uses to pay his salary comes from (see http://www.speakupwny.com/article_3397.shtml )

Secondly, during the proceedings Mr. Notaro submitted an unverified answer and an uncertified record of the proceedings. These papers were rejected as being defective and untimely. Mr. Notaro explained this as a "clerical error." After the proceedings I asked Mr. Sullivan who represented Canisius and Mr. Notaro if they would return the rejected papers so that they may be included in the record on appeal. Mr. Sullivan agreed and Mr. Notaro at first insisted that he did not receive any papers from me and then when presented with proof from the USPS that he had he snipped that he would not and that I should get a court order requiring him to. At the time I figured that this was just said in the heat of zealous advocacy of a client and would be worked out later. Over a month later when the order and judgment were filed and we had filed our notice of appeal I wrote Mr. Notaro and Mr. Sullivan regarding the record on appeal and included a proposed record on appeal. Mr. Sullivan promptly responded stating his objections to the contents of the record and providing me a copy of the rejected papers as he agreed. To date I have not heard from Mr. Notaro as to what position he is taking regarding the record on appeal much less providing me with a copy of the rejected papers. Furthermore, and for whatever reason(s), Mr. Notaro did not submit any papers on behalf of the Town in opposition to our motion in the Appellate Division for summary reversal or a preliminary injunction pending appeal.

Quite simply I find Mr. Notaro's conduct in violation of the rules of civility required of an attorney and sanctionable. I have never moved for sanctions before, but I am seriously considering it in this case.

If this is an aberration or if this is his standard conduct I would be interested in hearing about it.
