When West Seneca tax payer money is used to put on fundraising type events such as Fire and Ice, Forest of Fright, Enchanted Forest, Night Under the Stars, etc… with the premise that money raised will go to the Y.E.S. Program, Youth Bureau and Burchfield Nature & Art Center, yet said proceeds are thrown into an Americorps General Fund to be to used to throw lavish parties, go out to expensive dinners, and bump up their seats on airlines to first class, calling for a criminal investigation is well warranted. It is at the very least misappropriation and misrepresentation. And that is the tip of the iceberg.
Throw in there the number of human rights lawsuits against him, the 3.1 million he has overspent, the fact that he could be operating Americorps out of a space for free, yet stubbornly holds the BNAC hostage for $75,000 a year, something has to give.
These are the kinds of things that have gotten people upset and I feel they more than have the right to express these views and raise these kinds of questions here.
And bottom line, a lot of good people have walked away from there; Americorps, Youth Bureau and BNAC, leaving the whole place staffed with a bunch of untalented, lazy, do-nothings. Instead of hinging yourself to “the good” he has done, think about the great that could have been done over the past several years if a lot of people had remained. Enough is enough. Whether criminal charges, a termination or a good old fashioned lynching, something needs to be done.
And if certain politicians continue to refuse to look into it, the referendum vote isn’t too far around the corner.
