    Lackawanna Council Race

    There was a question asked as to why Mr. Minniefield left his job at the charter school on the ChangeLackawanna forum some time ago. After questioning people about it, I was amazed to find out that a private citizen had donated $ for the playground and supposedly Minniefield did something with that donation. Also, they raised a question about a swap for a cadillac that Minniefield is driving. Is anyone aware of this? Does anyone know what really went on??

    Not a clue. If that is how he conducts himself, we don't want him in council.

    We have an important election coming up. I still haven't heard very much about the 2nd ward candidates.

    If I lived in the 2nd ward, my choice would be either Jack Kwas or Tim Blarr.

    It isn't personal if it's true we need to be informed.

    No doubt, but which one? Would you say one is as good as the other? I'm looking for information about them. I'd like to make a good choice.

    By the way some one hit a nerve last week in Front Page. Why does Warthling Mr. Party Leader have to respond to Murphy's article. WE ALL KNOW THE COUNCIL CHANGED THE RULES SO JOYCE CAN BE TREASURER AND TOM CAN BE DPW HEAD. No way can you complain about anything when you change the rules.

    Ask yourself this question why do they always change the rules for their family members and friends etc..?

    There is a process for the citizens to change the rules and once the citizens do it would be extremely difficult for the council to change them back absent a public referendum.

    Such changes can be made by the amendment of the City Charter by petition. See Municipal Home Rule Law sections 36 and 37.
