Haxton, Ahmed, or Pirowski for Council President

[had enough yet]

Who do you prefer to be the council president for the next four years?
Haxton has been on the council before as the first ward councilwoman.
Ahmed and Pirowski are new as politicians.

Haxton is on her own sunshine line
Pirowski is on the Democratic, Conservative, and Independant lines
Ahmed is on the Republican line.

post respectful responses here.

I sent a letter to Mr. Cuomo when he was State Attorney General about both the city and the school district when I lived there. He did nothing and as a matter of fact he never even responded. Basically if its a fellow democrat doing it they get a pass while they continue to move up the ladder to bigger and better paychecks! Seriously you have Norm Polanski on tape doing illegal stuff and yet no charges from either the Erie County DA or the State AG? They just let him keep moving up the ladder. Thanks Andy and Frank!

Did you ever loan someone money....and when you finally get up the nerve to ask them for it back.... only to have them bark at you and stomp off?

The Mayor and my peers treated me the same way every time I questioned their illegal activity and abuse of public funds. They would scream at me and bully me down, 4-1...4-1...the list goes on and on. All my good ideas such as NO City paid vehicles, (HUGE expense) ----and put GPS tracking devices on ALL City vehicles to monitor gas consumption, went no where.
If there was no wrong-doing being done-----I would have had nothing to say about it,. I/We fought to get elected to make progress toward a better Lackawanna----all I accomplished (which is a mountain), was chasing after there corruption and exposing it.
How could I keep silent about mis-management of YOUR public funds that foot the bill for their free lunches?
Hence, their branding me a no-good---calling me crazy to Citizens they would meet in a super market---and doing everything in their power by abusing their governmental powers within City Hall to go after me personally.

Their body language and actions against me speak loud and clear for what it is-, they don't want to pay YOUR money back, so they bark---call their friends to beat you up---and then stomp off! They only want YES people in Lackawanna City Hall......folks that dare to go against the flow are publicly flogged as the Lackawanna " family and friends club " continue to sip their martini's!.


P.S. Do not lose hope......I Do Believe that " the squeaky wheel does get the oil "! Come on BELIEVERS, Squeak--Squeak--SQUEAK!

I questioned their illegal activity

What part was illegal? Did you call the DA to have it looked into?

I will PM you.

Lots of questions........

Reminder:
Folks, please try to encourage YOUR family and friends to register to vote if they are not.
AND, if they moved, to please do a quick voter registration card change of address asap! Lots of Watkins votes were not good because people did NOT remember to do so and voted at wrong polling district for them.

Little technicalities count big-time!

Also if a person is away, infirm-ed, or elderly (November weather who knows), PLEASE get them an absentee application so their will be sent an absentee ballot for general election. Just call the BOE and they will mail you the absentee application or registration card right away, 858-8891. Thanks!
Every vote counts----EVERY!

November 8th, 2011 is upon us and the history of the City of Lackawanna will speak for generations to come!

Are we turning right onto Recovery Road OR plowing straight ahead on Blight Highway?

If you vote for the " family and friends" candidate you vote for status quo..........if you vote for my other opponent you vote in a new machine with their own agenda.

A vote for me is a vote for YOU to march in along with me to gain access to YOUR Lackawanna City Hall government!
I owe NO paybacks ----favors ---- or job promises to anyone! I will do everything I can to put a STOP to nepotism and Equal Opportunity Employment will become the hiring practice as mandated by LAW! Folks when you receive Federal Funds as our City does, EOP mandates MUST be adhered to ......Lackawanna takes the prize for breaking the law. People are scared of retaliation if they dare question or speak out about unfairness.
Is this the America that is in our heart?

I have asked the Lackawanna Chamber to sponsor another Candidate Debate but I received a call yesterday the vote is 4-1, No. The race for Mayor is neck and neck and the more a Citizen gets to know about a candidate right from their own mouth, the better. An educated voter votes for a person on their merit---looking at where they have been and who is supporting them. Many in Lackawanna vote because their family member/neighbor told them to vote a certain way (not knowing a job was promised to their kid)----this just continues to prosper the family and friends club NOT the City.

Folks, do you think we need another debate before November 8th?-----I do. In four years I want to be sitting in my lawn chair ....sipping an ice tea....and knowing OUR City of Lackawanna is finally on the up and up Road of Revitalization, and finally become the safe, clean, business-friendly, up-scale community to call home-----that it should have been all along!

Can someone help with this? I spoke with Mr. Lucarelli---he said his place would be available.

It is crunch time and Lackawanna Citizens must know the facts about their elected officials before it is too late once they get in and do what THEY want---NOT what The People want!
Pick a date---time---and moderator for time. ( The Women's League of Voters is $75.00 though).
And let's roll!

Andrea I agree with your out with the old..including you... and in with the new! Pirowski gets mine, we need some young blood in there!

[mnb811]

Hank Pirowski is the most unqualified candidate ever to run for office next to Norm Polanski in the City of Lackawanna. What does he know about running meetings setting agenda etc..?

[andreahaxton]

I have been waiting for someone to come forward about a Debate but I see it is not going to happen as time is against us. I tried to get the Chamber but they voted No 4-1.
So......
How about a "Meet the Candidate Night" next week some place? Think anyone will go?

I'm pretty sure most people have their mind made up about who there voting for november 8th.... Maybe you should go knock on doors if your worried about meeting residents... Peple are not always going to do all your work for you.. The more work you put in the higher your likely to be a threat... Stop being LAZY and put in WORK
