So between Brown/Kearns...

[4248]

[quote=WNYresident;542218]Right now I'm leaning Kearns... I know I can vote seeing I don't live in buffalo.

It's that TV commercial Byron put together. Is crime down 7%?... it sounds like crime is going up not down.
Stats are made to suit the user - regardless of who it may be!

Said he hired 126 new cops.. From what I hear is a lot retire and they were replaced.. there actually wasn't 126 "more" cops on the streets.. or did I hear wrong?...
Yes - the new Cops have been hired. Yes, people have retired - again - he's doing what they all do - using stats to fit his view. Just like the other poster stated "Because the total number working hasn't changed" - thats his way of spinning those same numbers/facts. Reality says, yes 126 New Hires.

AND the 5000 "ILLEGAL" guns from the streets... That's a lie isn't it. They may have bought back 1000's of guns but for the most part they were not illegal, correct?

Exaggeration - Definitely(and the next Mayor will too). He views them as illegal if they were purchased at the gun turn in booths. Again, his view - I don't share that view - but it is accurate by the number of pieces the program has taken in.

Mickey Kearns is another South Buffalo Politician - from a Political Family, just like Keane. Same old group - same tactics.

They have and will do all the little dirty deals, they will appoint more patronage, they have for years pressured people in City Hall, Police and Fire to support anyone who South Buffalo puts up as a Candidate.

I personally wasn't worried about my City job, until today. I for one will be steam rolled because I have spoken as open as I have.

If Mr.Kearns wins the primary - its not at all because he's the better man - its because South Buffalo and big money put him in Office. We are screwed. Buffalo has stumbled - now if the primary swings toward Kearns - I fear we will truly become a City of Tax Paid Employees and poor residents.

I for one will be out of NY soon - I cant justify staying here much longer - I will follow my children - one is moving to Alaska(too cold for me) - ones in Collage - One more to go(he will go down south) and we are gone.

As far as crime surpassing the last two years - haven't we just had and still have some of the hardest financial times since the depression? Is this one term Mayor responsible for the industrial decline and neglect dating back to the closing of Bethlehem Steel -

Then you say he hasn't done anything - well then these things you mentioned below - regardless of who started them must not have actually happened:

$3,000,000,0000 in construction, that includes two-thirds of all projects done by Masiello. Most if not 80% are public projects , US Courthouse, Erie Canal harbor, City Hall reconstruction, Main Street reconstruction, JSCB School Construction, etc/ On top of that he has nowhere projects, Casino and Statler.


You say,"If you actually look at what he's done, you'll find nothing."

Take your logic and apply it to Mickey Kearns - his claim to fame is the flood insurance removal in South Buffalo - he didn't start that either -

He also takes credit for re-opening a South Buffalo Library without using tax dollars - well thats not totally accurate either - there was and still is tax dollars being spent there.

I love how people spin and wiggle - two days ago they (Kearns supporters) were saying what a tax eater - Carl Paladino was because he made millions on his "No Property taxes for the Rich Deal" on the waterfront condo's.

Now today - he's the new Messiah come to deliver us from Evil Brown to Nice SB Guy.

Politics is ugly - heartless and those who live off it, whether through patronage or heritage are just as guilty as those who take and use all those tax loop holes to avoid paying their fair share.

Mr.Mickey Kearns will not change that - he will re-instill and fertilize more of the same.

We'll just make Mickey kearn's life annoying if he's just more of the same ol **** the community has been getting from the local democratic party. Same goes for pieces of **** no matter what party they belong to.

Moment he starts to pander and give away as "pro labor support" BS the community will have to try to ost him before his 4 years are up. You don't **** on the community and expect to do it for 4 years.

Sure are.

i would support Kearns over Brown. Not because I think Kearns would be a great mayor, but because I think Brown is a corrupt career politician with no other motivation than padding his resume as he climbs on to bigger things (straight from the Hillary playbook).

If Elected - game over - checks have been cashed - favors are promised. You cant recall a tax increase - you cant remove the patronage once installed.

This is called " Democracy In Action". Our forefathers are still turning over in their graves.

This is called " Democracy In Action". Our forefathers are still turning over in their graves.

Your forefathers were a bunch of malcontents from Europe who feared being dragged back to England untill they decided to send the rest of their criminals here. As far as the Mayoral race is concerned, I was a huge Brown supporter and sparked a lot of people to vote for him the first time around, but I won't be doing that again. Brown was over his head in that capacity and he completely caved-in on the Cariol Horne issue, trying to detach himself from Horne from day one. Even signed off on the promotion of one of the town's worst cops. Byron. You are not white. I don't know if you're Gay, but you certainly play one on TV.

In fact, he reminds me of Sally Fields and is just waking to the realization that 'They don't like me,' 'they really, really don't like me.' Brown was hand picked by a few in your community to run for Mayor and be elected by my community. First thing he does is appoint an unqualified go-with-the-flow Police Commish who was a board member of a failed/fraudulent Community program and let's Steve Casey fire his first black female deputy Mayor. I don't know about his involvement with Sunset, but it's getting very old in Buffalo when black politicians fantasize that they can be just as corrupt as white politicians and still get away with it. Which brain-cell gave that thought process the OK?

OH I put up an add for kearns on onlinebuffalo.com

Currently brown seems to be giving our community a bad image as mayor. Too much "questionable" stuff.

Its your site - your decision. I am sorry but i disagree.

I just cant see your point - you said "He is giving Buffalo a bad image" - isn't it actually those who planted the story - isn't it actually those Party Loyal who keep hammering at it every day -

Mickey Kearns will improve nothing for Buffalo as a whole. He will divert every dollar he can to water front developers.

He will, within his first year in office - increase the number of high dollar(tax dollars) appointments in the Police Department (Hire more street COPS instead - PLEASE)-

He will assist in pushing those he views as "Political Enemies" out of City Hall and other City jobs. Not just a few Patronage people but many average workers who are not "Contributing Democrats" ( then plug in more of his people)

But as I said - its your endorsement - your sites - FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

Thanks

Do you have ANY proof of this??

Proof enough for me he's doing a bad job is easy, he's got the support of Higgins and Stachowski... NUFF SAID!

Gee, they keep getting Re-Elected and mainly by the same people supporting Mickey Kearns!!!!!!!! Just look at their Campaign donation reports - those are legal documented proof."

Do you have any legal documented proof of the story David Rivera has told?

i don't give a **** about who becomes mayor of the City, I only go for one reason, Sabres games. However, you are probably the most bias person on here as you have possibly something o lose if Kearns wins. You do not care about the city, you care about taking your tax payer job back to Lancaster.


Again do you have any proof Rivera is lying?? REMEMBER YOU MADE THE ACUSASTION, without proof it's slander and you can be sued for it!

First off - I too am a Sabres fan and have all the tokens to prove it. I do care who's raising my taxes and why. I lived in the City most of my life - still pay taxes on two houses in Buffalo as well.

I have a few things to loose if Kearns wins - one could be the fact that I spoke out against giving large sums of Union dollars to candidates - so my retirement might be accelerated - two as I said, I pay City taxes, I will be paying more if he wins. Patronage adds to taxes - Political Appointments and Promotions reinforce the spoils of war Political Mentality, especially downtown.

Lastly simply turning my question around doesn't answer it. So I wont answer you.
