Lancaster Town Supervisor on rumors and innuendos
At Monday evening’s Lancaster Town Board work session, Supervisor Robert Giza brought to the attention of the board members and a few attendees the anger felt concerning the salacious rumors and innuendos appearing on the Internet, in the media and passed about in public.

This was the most entertaining article Lee has ever written. I can't believe that our supervisor thinks that his poop doesn't stink. Never anywhere have I read about Giza having a summer home.
And Ruffino and his damn clocks. Will he ever shut up about them.
Now, I'm going to have to listen in to one of their work sessions.
I didn't realize that putting in a water line for someone would stop them from commiting suicide.
As a concerned citizen, I wrote him a letter regarding his councilman Abraham's unethical behavior due to him having his election sign in his classroom. Do you think he called Superintendent Myszka to have the sign removed? Not in my lifetime.
Thank you Lee.
I am absolutely appalled by this!!

Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, understood that, by promoting freedom of speech as a right, they were opening the floodgates. In their writings, they recognized that promoting free speech would allow people to say the nastiest, meanest, ugliest, things imaginable.
In my opinion, the Supervisor's comment, "If I ever find out anyone ever started a rumor about me, you better leave town.", threatens free speech. I read it as meaning, if the Supervisor thinks you said something that is rumor or innuendo, he will do something harmful to you." A threat that will inhibit people, who don't know any better, from speaking their mind for fear that, he has the legal ability to harm them.
Under freedom of speech, the Supervisor's speech is protected. What people who may be cowed by this threat need to understand is: he has no legal right to carry out his threat.
That a leader of this town would even have the balls to threaten with such disregard for people simply astounds me!!! Mr. Bob Giza YOu have insulted people in general and their constitution!!! BETTER LEAVE TOWN?!!
WHAT THE H--- IS THAT ALL ABOUT?
Does anyone remember Hogan's Hero's? Remember Sargeant Schultz? Do you remember what he use to say? "I know nothin' about nothin'." I think Mr. Giza's new name is Sargeant Schultz.
I think Sargeant Schultz owes this town an apology.
