"Joe" from Lancaster illuminated the fact that the former Village Code Enforcement Officer, Danny Rinow, has made a shady lateral move from his post as Garbage-Can-Monitor-In-Chief to Village Judge! This is a travesty! Danny Rinow and his family have been sucking off the public tit for far too long and I am encouraging a protest against a man, who is beyond unfit for the post of an acting justice in our community. Please allow me to explain.
Danny Rinow is probably most famous for his cross-dressing theatrics as a Lancaster Police Department Dumshoe...I mean Gumshoe. He was a long-time detective for the LPD, spending most of his time cutting lawns on the side with his business partner and former wife-beating Police Officer, Dale "Hit-me-baby 1 more time" Horn. Dale and Danny had a knack for soliciting the business of elderly women throughout the Village to perform landscaping duties for them, in what is thought to be an attempt to sneak into their Will & Testaments. Dale was successful a few times, and I'm sure Danny was a beneficiary here and there. Even though his partner-in-slime, Horn, landed himself a two year term in the Pen for domestic violence and violation of his monitored probation, Danny can still be seen during the summer months, cruising around town with his pick-up truck and a barrage of lawn equipment loosely assembled on his open-trailer, sporting his famous black bandanna! It’s a beautiful sight!
But for Danny, landscaping wasn’t paying enough. After his buddy, landed himself in the pen, Danny landed himself yet another ham-handed, post-retirement job as the Village Code Enforcement Officer, aka the "Garbage Can Lid Guy"! Yes, it's true! The Village came up with a brilliant idea to stop the ever-looming "rat problem", by making garbage can lids mandatory on all Village Residents' trash cans. A beautiful public policy scheme to create another asinine job for....GUESS WHO...Danny Rinow! Danny took the post very seriously. He would wake up bright and early, and using the gumshoe skills he learned during his time with the LPD, combined with his knowledge of yards and lawns from his current side-job as elder lawn care extraordinaire, Danny would snap photos of open garbage cans with a digital camera provided by the Village! The Village residents who he “caught” were then fined and prosecuted for their heinous crime! What a fulfilling job that must've been. Please keep in mind that I have lived in the Village for 27 years and have never seen a rat....except for Danny and the people that keep supporting him.
BUT WAIT...I have learned there's more! After Dick(Det.) Rinow took heat for his practices as the Garbage Lid Gestapo, he was relieved of his duties and went into hiding for some time. Where did he hide? I do not know, but I suspect it was crouched down, on his knees, underneath the Village Board round-table, where he only surfaced to take a breath or two, because Danny is now the Judge. Well....not THE Judge, just A judge. That's right, a landscaper is our Village Judge! This is unconscionable. It is a complete disgrace to the Court, the State of New York, and our legal system as a whole. Rinow, with little-to-know education is taking part in the prosecution of Village residents! But, he isn't the only Rinow to continuously collect a check from the Village. His wife does too! This type of patronage must end! The recycling of useless trash (pun intended), like Dan Rinow, from one tax payer funded position to another must end! We must flood the Village Board Meeting on October 25, and demand answers!
Danny Rinow---When will you stop stealing from the taxpayers? Is it not enough that you already have one bloated, taxpayer funded pension? Is it not enough you are collecting a Village check already, via your wife? Have you not harassed the taxpayers of this community enough? When does it end?
Get a life, get an education, and get a real job...Maybe you'll learn something. Or maybe you won't learn until you’re on the other side of the law; or on the other side of the bench, just like your pal Dale. Resign and save yourself some dignity.
Join me! End the insanity! More to come...
