By the way Niagara, for someone who claims to have had involvement with the center, why can't you spell it correctly? It's B-U-R-C-H-F-I-E-L-D, not Birchfield. Sorry, it just irks me. Spell check is available.

I'd rather be hated for who I am... than loved for who I'm not!
sounds like some bitter ex-employees in this forum (Dan, Tom, Linda, Paulette, Dolores). If you have problems with AmeriCorps why don't you go down to 2001 Union Rd and talk to someone instead of hiding in this blog.

I LEFT MY HEART IN UTAH! OOPS! DON'T TELL MY WIFE!
It's not about revenge for me. I have never mentioned personal issues about Lazzara or his family. I'm just not quite convinced everything is on the up and up with Lazzara. It's nothing against those who work in or are part of Americorp. Lazzara has immense amounts of Federal grant money to oversee. I asked some questions about how it's doled out and who it's handled by. Those who defend him and his program can't seem to answer those questions. Yet they know so much about the program. It's not about hurting "the kids" if thats your slant.
Hey Mark, give me the entire rundown on the finances ?
Sure Eb, whatever you need.
Like that is gonna happen.
People have asked for information from Lazzara. However, when he's questioned too intently, he becomes indignant to the fact that you want to know exactly what he's doing. We have to remember, whether it's Town money, or grant money, it is still from taxpayer money.Originally Posted by 4thekids

Here we go. 4thekids? Sounding more like 4oneself. November 2007 and one post, makes you wonder who you are. Hey, Mark how's the business going? Why we should we go down to see you, when we can ask you here?
I think you left more than your heart in Utah, you forgot your sexual preference for women!
4 the kids, I don't think its an ex employee posting. It seems to me if it was it would be much harsher. Seems like they are cutting him some slack. However, don't defend a man who has fired half his staff. Can't believe they were all slackers. Maybe they will have a story to tell someday.
4thekids...4thepeople....Did Brian get another handle?
I don't have anything against Lazzara personally but I wouldn't want him for a boyfriend/girlfriend! But I question why he is so afraid to give out the information about his WS town dept. if he has nothing to hide! He brags about what a wonderful Americorps he is running, (did you read the article in the Bee? Who is he trying to convince-us or himself) but when you want more details, he gets very defensive. Is there something he is trying very hard to hide?
Fisher, I'm not going there. You decide for yourself. And some were probably right. It gets old. So let's stick to the mud slinging and lies(just kidding everyone). Hey, where's Niagara? Birchfield not open on Saturdays so no postings today? Not attacking, just wondering.

Did you ever wonder why there are so many ex-employees?! I called down to the Burchfield office yesterday and guess what? - There was no one there! Apparently Lazzara got rid of everyone! I was inquiring about upcoming programs but seeing as there was no one to answer the phones, I couldn't get the info I wanted. Is everyone bad at their jobs or does ML want to keep the secrets to himself?
I am hardly a disgruntled employee. Just someone who is looking for some more information. Like I said i don't want to get into the mudslinging... and I post when I feel that my knowledge will help. So no i am not Dan, Tom, Linda, Paulette or Dolores... Just call me Pat the androgynous human being
Don't let me stop you Erly.
PS Did anyone try to get information by the Freedom of Information request that was suggested a while back?
[quote=wantabe]I would say prepare a solid case first so the group doesn't look like it's half cocked.
Do a FOIL and itemize the group and the spending habits. Even the un-itemized reciepts. There are reciepts isn't there?

Oh yeah, an old fart like me working in Americorp. Wish I could, probably make more money than I am now.
How we going to get any answers from someone hiding the till? WNY, you're right, FOIL. Besides, there's a Public Accountability Law they have to answer to.

You make like you are the auditor. Why not go down to Koller's office and ask your questions and then come back and let us know what he says. Or go to Lazarra, and ask some questions. You are a taxpayer, sure ask them instead of speculating about what your answers would be. You indicate elsewhere you know Dale Clarke, go ask him or Bove when he takes office for help. It sounds quite simple, but you like to take pot shots from afar.
I get a charge out of your fictional conversation with Lazarra. You are still Eb.
