    Riverbend

    Well, the feline quadruped lept out the rucksack at a legislative budget hearing in Albany. Even tax and spend Democrats from NYC who waste taxpayer money as a hobby are shocked at the financial disaster at Riverbend.

    Il Douche’s Mortimer Snerd, Howard Zemsky, was raked over the coals about the failure of the project after the taxpayers were fleeced for $750 million to build it. Snerd, er, Zemsky, kept quoting job creation figures without any documentation to prove it. Under close examination it became clear that no mechanism is in place to actually measure the number of jobs there. Snerd, er, Zemsky, said the state would go after the whack job pillhead for the $40 million penalty if the jobs aren’t created...but they want to create jobs doing something else instead. (In this regard, I suggest tiny license plates.

    A group of people associated with this disaster will already be doing that soon at the behest of the government.) Snerd, er, Zemsky already knows that if the state pushes for the penalty Tesla can walk away from the project due to “changes in the regulatory environment” with out penalty. Adding to the bemusement, Erkel, in Albany begging money to avoid the pending economic collapse facing the City of Buffalo, acknowledged that the City derives nothing from Riverbend. Economic development, Democrat-style, at its peak.

    Does anyone out there know if those speaking at these budget hearings are under oath? That would make the testimony more interesting.

    In the end you want this stuff to succeed once the money is dumped into it.

    I don't think it's a bright idea to route for them to fail. I'd rather see 5000 people working at the place versus an empty shell.

    WNY, it would be nice if it were to succeed but there was no need for such a plant to provide that product. If there were it would’ve been built (not here for sure because of the stifling tax climate) by a private entity at less cost and without the premium built in to support corruption and it would’ve been operating 2 years ago as originally planned.

    Vote for freedom, not political parties.
    Politicians need to cut spending
