Ok, I've heard that former Democratic Party Chairman Vincent Sorrentino of Hamburg is going to be appointed Counsel for the Lackawanna Municipal Housing Authority.
I know there is at least one lawyer in Lackawanna who could do the job, because my mother's will was drawn up by one.
If true, what's the deal with going to an outsider?
Say it isn't so.
Wouldn't your Lackawanna community rather have someone qualified from Lackawanna?
Maybe you have a weak group of politicians out your way.

If what I heard is true, then you probably are correct. That could be a good opportunity for for a young up and coming city attorney.Originally Posted by WNYresident
But, I'm not in Lackawanna. My mother has lived there for 52 years. I was there only 1956-1966
Go read some of the hamburg threads. I think if I lived in Lackawanna I would use someone from Lackawanna.

I'll do that.
Sorrentino is still chairman of the Hamburg Dem Committee. However, he has been the Town of Hamburg's attorney for many years because his party controlled town hall. Now that the Republicans outnumber the Dems 3-2 on the board, he will most likely be out of a town job in January.
He probably used his connections to broker some sort of deal for the job. Guess the guy still wants to earn a paycheck and pension on the back of taxpayers. Why doesnt he just run a private law office?
According to the other threads, there have been many accusations of impropriety and withholding information from the Town Supervisor. This guy is exactly what is wrong with politics and politicians in WNY.
He does work for a private firm.
The jobs in Hamburg and this possible job in Lackawanna are just used to promote his power over the people and further his self-attained "Godfather" image he has been cultivating for years.
Thanks for the correction. Maybe he should just stick to his private practice!
Its got to be the hairplugs--or the glasses---no the hair plugs!
Billy Delmont+Sorrentino=life time friendship. They been bartering jobs, money ect for years. Dick Smith was in the mix too. The front page ( delmont's newspaper)has been printing the hamburg town board minutes in the Lackawanne Front page for years. The offical newspaper as required by law. Why not the hamburg sun ect. Big contract. Now sorrentino needs a job and the ex mayors, Ex councilman are hiding here too. This School Board is controlled by delmonts people. One big circle. The people need to revolt and stop this NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I'm familiar with Delmont. He is a wheeler dealer. Not surprised that he is involved. He pretty much rules from the corner of Ridge Rd. and South Park Ave. Lackawanna residents should be getting better treatment than that. I'll hope story is untrue about Sorrentino's appointment.
The people of Lackawanna had the oppurtunity to end the years of abuse, political patronage, politics as usual, and settlement of the status quo. The recent election (Nov'07) put the mayor, council president, and fourth ward councilman up for election.
And what happened: the mayor was re-elected in the primary, Chuck Jaworski who already sits on the city council (which has done nothing) was elected to the council presidents seat, and Joe Schiavi who works full time in the schools was re-elected as a rubber stamp to fourth ward council seat.
Annette Iafallo, John kuryak, Keith Lewis, and Paul Gorczyca were all better qualified than the people that were re-elected. No one, now, has the right to complain about the way Lackawanna is being run except those who got out to vote and casted a vote for change!
And I agree that the democrats have a hugh stronghold that cannot be broken unless people open their eyes and stop voting party line!
He's doing it so he can continue receiving pension benefits. He can't have a break in service and he'll be out on his ass in Hamburg soon. I'll bet he has a lot of years in the system.
Well, Lets not be surprised if the current Mayor of Lackawanna Mr Polanski uses this appointment as a way to begin networking into the Hamburg Democratic vote for a future run at a "bigger" position.
What's the latest on Sorrentino and the Lackawanna Housing Authority? Did he get the appointment? What's new with the politics now that the elections are over?
