In case you haven't heard the latest on Mayor Polanski, take a look at this from wgrz.

Polanski does not care about the City of Lackawanna or it's citizens. His only concern is his own personal gain. In this mornings channel 2 news he compared himself to a CEO of a company. His he nuts! He is an employee of the City, a public servant. His job is to look out for the best interests of the citizens of Lackawanna, not to take their hard earned money and spend it on his hearts desires. Does he consider Lackawanna his Kingdom? Should we address him King Norman?
The man is a criminal. First he is questioned about committing a Federal offense of bribery for votes and now he’s using taxpayer's money like his own personal piggy bank. He states this was brought to the public’s attention because of petty politics. Polanski may think $17,000 is petty, but I don’t think the hard working people of Lackawanna will consider it petty. It was purchased through the Department of Public Works, therefore it is a DPW vehicle, but he states no one else can have use of it and he claims he uses it for government business only. I for one will be watching you Norm. It is understood that all City governments need government vehicles, but it would seem to me that a caring Mayor of a poor City would opt not to abuse the people’s money in this way. Like any other employee, he should use his own paycheck for his personal vehicle.
I would compare Polanski to a tyrant ruler, whose people are suffering and starving while his belly gets fatter as he feasts off the taxes he’s collected from the poor people.
He claims he's lowered the taxes, does he think the citizens are stupid? The property assessments were raised ridiculously high (for most of us), making the taxpayers pay the same if not more than before the so-called lowering of taxes.
I have personally had to contact the Mayor’s office to complain about some of the public servants of Lackawanna on at least three occasions and he has never replied. The last time, I complained, the Mayor sent his goons on me to "persuade me by whatever means necessary". I have been back and forth in court with the City for quite some time. My problems started with this City three years ago and I will never stop “fighting City Hall” when there is injustice.
I hope that Polanski and his goons are feeling the heat! I will joyously celebrate the day when the walls come tumbling down around them and they are all removed from their positions.
