    What else would anyone expect - this is Lancaster where the Police get a shooting range that was supposed to be cancelled - why because its supposed to save on over time ?

    Over time - we paid COPS overtime to taget practice ?

    Lancaster where the Court/Police Building went millions over because the white elelphant bought to put it in - the Cole Craft Building - was judged to be unusable. But past Democrat Supervisor Giza did help out the prior owner by using tax dollars to take that building off his hands - and it had nothing to do with the fact the owner was on the Lancaster IDA Board with the Supervisor !!!!!!!

    Then the new site they settled on cost more then anticipated because they didn't believe a Town worker when he said, "You cant build there - there's a hidden missile base under there" - the Town Board said, "Yes we can - the guys we paid to say we could - said we could"

    Then the foundation builders ran into problems because they found some weird structures and holes under ground - "Missile Base Command Center" ?

    Now because they waited 10 years after past Highway Boss Rich Reese requested a new storage building for the Highway Department - Politics blocked that idea.

    Then Mr Amatura requests a new building and its drag around Town Hall so long the cost went up twice. One reason is they want "HEATED FLOORS" so the trucks that are built for heavy duty "OUT DOOR USE: can stay cozy and warm. OH - I forgot - they claim the electronics in the new vehicles are susceptible to cold weather !!!!!!!!! -

    So , Now they build heavy duty trucks that cost hundreds of thousands of tax dollars each - but their sensitive to cold wet weather. Maybe they should look at a different manufacture - one that makes snow plows that work in cold damp weather.

    Hey, but look on the bright side - all these things would get a normal working man fired if they were so mishandle - but with Politics - its only a few extra million tax dollars - no big deal !

    Lancaster's home owning tax payers don't care - they keep reelecting the same people from the same patronage feed Lancaster Democratic Committee.
