    Back about 10 or more years ago, the people voted by referendum NOT to change the qualifications of the head of the DPW from an Engineer to a Commissioner of Public Works. Fast Forward to Norm and the boys, and the Council changed the qualifications set by the Charter to have a Commissioner of Public Works - NO PUBLIC REFERENDUM. No one said or did anything, and there we have it. Very frustrating for the average Joe.

I put them up 1 month post op after I donated the kidney to my husband so there was no way either of us were crawling up to get them down but if ur offering i'll take you up!

    This here is a message for Francis "BINK" Kulczyk. I have been reading your articles. They have all been sounding like they are recycled from your very first one. You cannot possibly claim the high standard of police,fire and trash pick up is your doing. These services have been great dating back to Mayor Ed Kuwik in the 70's possibly even earlier.You have been in office for almost 2 years now what are your accomplishments? What seperates you from the other 2 candidates? How do you "strive to make Lackawanna a better place to live."? How /why do you think our recreation programs are 2nd to none when they are basically non-exsistent? I was wondering why my street gets paved only at election time and why programs for kids increase during election years then fade away then come back again...can you answer this?Maybe we will see you at Andrea's debate on Thursday where you can answer these questions.

    No, no code violation for Christmas lights. That went out with the City's "orange" code book. You are safe there!! If you cut your lawn, sit back and enjoy the weather with a nice cold one after you get your food from Jerge!!!
