A huge thank you to all my supporters and people who believe in what I have tried to do to break free from the tyrants who control Lackawanna.
I claim yesterday as a victory because I now know God pulled me away from the cesspool of corruption at 714 Ridge Road, the orange crate that should have been torn down over 10 years ago!
The Lackawanna political machine may have won a battle yesterday but they have NOT won the war waging in our city against crooks who steal public funds!
Yesterday about 6:45 p.m. we were driving down Ingham at Bauder where a group of Arabic boys were playing in a yard--as we passed one of them gave me the finger. We backed up and the boy ran and hid behind the house, I told the rest of the boys that I have had it with their disrespect for me and how would they like it if my child did that to your mother or grandma? I told Ali about it and he said sorry, I have nothing to do with that.
My answer was that I never trained my children to disrespect an adult and they are learning it from somewhere.
I trust God and ALL his ways, he has other plans for my life and wants me to rest for awhile.
I feel good--it was not cool working with unprofessionals! I only hung in their for OUR children's future!
I feel very sorry for the Lackawanna people who innocently foot the bill for the political fat cats who have ruined our once great city. Now I am well aware that city hall is now going to make some positive changes in the First Ward to drive home the point "that Andrea Haxton could not get anything done." ----and no-man could to validate him in the council position.
It is ok boys,play your poli-ticks off the backs of the unsuspecting citizens--make them live with ghetto conditions like the house on Holland in order to discredit me----I still have the proff of your illegal activities to show the people the games you all play with their money!
Let me start with the private house at 21 Bauder that was secretly torn down using public funds and hidden (so you think). It is so illegal to make a private deal with a citizen using public funds---I know you are going to claim she is making payments back to the city but there is NO excuse for taking $21,000.00 of public money for a private deal and hide from Lackawanna City Council approval!
This is downright criminal and I brought it up when I uncovered it but was shouted down as usual because the bullies stick together when I call them on the facts.
I know you are going to come up with a contract BUT you all still paid out huge tax dollars WITHOUT council approval thereby breaking the LAW of the CITY!
cath--can you please post the section under the city attorney duties that mandates this, Thanks--and thanks for everything. Did you all know that she lost her job at city hall and they refused her a raise in 2006 when I was first elected, when all the incompetents got theirs. Remember the boys told her not to help me back in 2006 and she told them I have 5 bosses not 4 and so they fired her!
I am so glad to be out of the swamp but the inside knowledge will not go to waste folks. I promise you this, and I know not to make promises.
I/We have just begun to fight---I have my armor on and a full tank of gas!
Sore winners is more like it! I am ashamed of your unprofessional--nasty behaviors.
May God bless you and your .........
I have no problem giving credit where credit is due, but the dubious methods and mentality of the players yesterday makes me want to puke.
God bless everyone.
