    Funny thing is NONE of their names are listed on any of Watkins filings to BOE. Another smear by the Szymanski posse. Hmm!! Desperate...desperate...

    Really....did YOU turn him in?

    Since when are there limits set for Mayor's Financial Contributions, or any candidate's contributions for a political race in Lackawanna--,ETC.? Just Lackawanna? Come on gohome, Prove It. I will humbly apologize to you if I am wrong and if I knew who you were I would do it face to face.

    Can you Please post the section of the NYS Election Law where it states this alleged "violation"?! Just the facts, please.

    In fact, just yesterday I was to talking to the gal at the Erie County BOE in person, whose job there is Campaign Finance,.......her name is Maureen, anyone can give her a call----858-8891.

    BTW:
    None of you cared about the $2600.00 Normie spent on WINE that his campaign expenditures on the NYS BOE web states that he bought to give to the Seniors!!
    Read that , post it and make sure you hurry on home to report this VIOLATION too!

    P.S.
    Crystal Peoples is a NYS Assemblywoman and a friend to many folks in Lackawanna. She is close to Binky (3rd Ward Council) and many, many others who live in Lackawanna. She cares deeply about ALL of NYS because she is a NYS Assembywoman. Let's keep it real.

    GEOFFREY SZYMANSKI, COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE

    ************************************************** ************************************************** ********************
    Notice Jaworski was absent because he knows we do not have the money for extras and had already passed the City Budget. Geoff was simply vying for votes so he changed the already in place City of Lackawanna Budget for 2010/2011' to suit his own needs ( the robots are easy to wind).
    He tricked the unsuspecting Citizens and still thinks he can trick them but you all can read the facts I posted from the City web.

    I do not want anyone to ever lose a job either, BUT..........GEOFF is telling another lie regarding voting on the last two budgets. He voted for ALL the rest,even the election bonus budget for family and friends without blinking an eye in 2008!
    Yes, he did vote down two budgets, BUT, held his own Special COUNCIL MEETING as you can read above and VOTED BACK IN the things in the Budget he had voted against in June and now using for his campaign accomplishments!

    Pretty sneaky and misleading lies.......of course most of the DPW guys are backing him (picture of Geoff with DPW guys in front of bulldozer on yesterdays fancy postcard), do they have a choice?

    Notice he said," fund balance ".....the very thing I keep harping about........yes, you are sooo right bluethunder, " what coffers"?!?


    Off of Geoff Szymanski's own website, " HIS PLAN ":

    “In the early stages, I wrote about how I voted against the last two

    budgets because there was a tax increase in each. Additionally, I didn’t like

    the fact that we transferred funds from the reserve account, otherwise

    known as the “rainy day” fund, to balance our books.



    Double-Talk............he says one thing AND did another. Double-Talk and BOLD face lie, you can read the above Council meeting minutes from August 10, 2010.

    The gist: He voted against the Budget because it cut some patronage..........HE held his own Budget re-vote Special Council meeting, and voted the patronage back in, AND, took it from "THE FUND BALANCE"-----the very thing he says above that " I didn't like the fact that we transferred funds from the reserve account to balance our books".
    What this means: Taxes were going to have to increase the past two years because of their mis-management of public funds,but because Geoff wanted to be Mayor he/they knew this would be against him, so they plotted it out for the last two years or so to make him look like a star and spent critical reserve money to " balance our books". He bought back his votes using YOUR money to fund the patronage and create more machine soldiers.

    Great plan for the machine.....sad for the unsuspecting, innocent taxpayers of Lackawanna.
    The tax increase had NOTHING to do with it........he voted YES for FIVE Budgets and he didn't care where the money came from. Not even when they pulled the playground monies out!
    Now that is truly a ******** and the kind of stuff they think "The People" are too stupid to figure out! Plot this!
