Lackawanna is like other communities But then again it is Not .......
I wonder if it even saves $3000.00, Cath to eliminate all the neighborhood polling spots. Last I knew they paid places like St. Anthony's appr. $100.00/day per district.
Citizens in Lackawanna have had their polling places changes so many times in the last 10 years or so that many folks do not even bother taking their time to go vote anymore. Hence, the "family and friends" club members push their people out and the rest is history. Just watch them on their cell phones on election day---"the machine" is finely oiled and the pyramid grows daily with people who are given false job promises.
They can only promise so much--there are only crumbs left in the bottom of the pie tin, and they will still fight each other to lick the pan dry in order to get their kid "in"!
mnb, you are on track with the "pied piper", BUT----he is NOT the Piper, there are higher-ups that jerk his chain and tell him what to play. He has been a very obedient soldier these past 16 years or so, ironically this is about the time that Lackawanna School District started slipping in Business First rating. Hmmmmm.........
Cath, sounds as if "lack 1" has been intimately following your career or someone close to you.....You know that old saying, "Keep your friends close, But your enemies closer"!
" Gotta be in it to WIN " Thanks "lack1", I have been in "it" for over 20 years and have no plans of ever leaving "it" till Lackawanna is free of the corruption that has robbed it of its glory!
All Aboard the "A" Train! How about joining the " A " Team lack---you will be on the right track for once! Choo Choo!:cool:
