    WOW, that is a big endorsement. The AFL-CIO is the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. If I remember that far back it was covered in 5th grade history, or somewhere back then. With Lackawanna being so Democratic, that should get him a lot of support. I wonder what Geoff did wrong that he didn't get it as the endorsed Democrat.

    To Lackawanna#1 and WNYResident and any others that really don't get it....

    H&R Block is a reputable tax prep company. H&R Block has very high standards they stand behind. Any accountant/bookeeper knows it takes more than 3 hrs to learn about tax prep. Those who practice the business are trained constantly. Call 1-800-HRBLOCK and check on their training classes, do it soon as they are getting started now for the tax season coming up in January.

    May I say many "CPAs and Bookeepers" from the outside take this same course together. If after taking this course, and you pass the exam, are interviewed, and it is decided you are hired, you will be expected to attend additional training. You will be mentored. You will be encouraged to bring friends and family and do their returns. These returns will be observed by your mentor. Every year you are expected to take a minimum amout of training hours to maintain and progress in your skills.

    The IRS has instituted rules that some CPAs and Bookeepers haven't met yet, but H&R Block has. This is why many of your CPAs this past year had you send in your return rather than e-filing. Please don't be so fast to think that HR Block people don't know the tax business. Personally, in my years of service I have "fixed" some pretty hefty mistakes of local "CPA and Bookeepers". There are many levels of complexity to a tax return.

    Pat McCusker's (see the spelling-this is the correct spelling) job at H&R Block, as a District Manager, was to oversee the operations in 43 offices, and answer to the corporate offices. He was very diligent on watching that the payroll was in line, people working when needed, and not when quiet. He kept operation costs down. He improved the quality of the offices. Many of his thoughts were adopted on the national level.

    So Pat's job wasn't to "push a button on the computer" ---- and a side note, he is brilliant enough and capable to do any tax return by hand on paper, as he took the training classes too! As we all know, CPAs use a computer program to process, just as H&R Block does. It is having the knowledge as to what to put into the computer.

    I tend to believe that H&R Block is a specialist in tax prep. A CPA is a numbers guy who has learned tax work amongst other things.

    Pat's managerial skills as a Distrct Manager is the statement made in his biography. These skills would be an asset in the City of Lackawanna.

    Thank you Daisey Mae. Great piece of information. Hopefully some of the voters on this blog will understand and appreciate the skill that Pat's has developed.

    You think of how many of us pay our tax preparer to do our taxes, we sign it, and wait for our refund. We have no idea what we are looking at. Good tax preparers are vital and carry with them a great deal of knowledge.

    And I had many CPAs do my taxes and the pro's at H&R found errors and got me more money back. The difference is they care about their clients - that's why I still go there.

    I think Mr. McCusker's qualifications are just fine.

    McCusker's qualifications are light years ahead of anyone running. Just because you were a do nothing councilman for a few terms doesn't make you qualified. Actually it makes you the problem!

    Came in to get my copy of the Front Page today and was amazed at all the billboards that have hit the city. I especially like the one of Geoff in his hard hat with a city worker looking like he actually gives a flying S&*t on how the city looks. A staged act of self-importance! I wonder if he wears that hat while walking his ward? He sure needs it over there to be safe from all of the condemned buildings falling down around him. I then glanced to my left and saw this refreshing bright SUNRISE ! Positive Ideas-Positive Action= Positive FUTURE! Now I LIKE that! Lackawanna hasn’t seen positive ANYTHING in a VERRRYYYYYYY long time. I stopped at my friend’s house and we talked about the signs located on Abbott and they also agreed with the McCusker sign. They said they wouldn’t vote for any other candidate especially ones that have been ruining the city for years. All of a sudden they come out saying they have all these great ideas for Lackawanna. What the hell have they been doing other than collecting a paycheck? So we laughed for a while about what a joke the Lackawanna politicians are. More and more people are now seeing through all the smoke that has been blowing up their skirts! VOTE McCUSKER for a new sunrise dawning!! Positive Ideas with positive actions will bring positive results!! billboard.jpg

    I'm sure Tony Ming will show him how to collect a state pension. And run the city the right way.

    Idiot boy....why would you care what I am doing with a Szymanski sign? If you MUST know, that sign was REMOVED from a yard where the owner wanted a McCusker sign. SOMEONE kept removing the McCusker sign and putting a Szymanski sign up (the baby antics that run rampant throughout the city). Either way, the OWNER of the property wanted MCCUSKER. I hope you enjoyed watching my A$$ walk through the door at McCusker headquarters with sign in hand!!!
