MY RANT OF THE DAY!!! ON THE "FRONT PAGE OF THIS MORNING PAPER", IF ...YOU DON'T GET THE PAPER CHECK IT OUT ON PRESS CONNECT! "ENDICOTT FOCUSES ON PEOPLE'S ISSUES" This will be a long read, please bear with me and read it all. First I'd like to say to the Mayor and the board, YOU serve the ENTIRE village, not just a select few. WE THE PEOPLE GAVE YOU THE PRIVILEGE TO SERVE US, WE, ALL OF US! AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE YOU OUT OF OFFICE. To do that we need the taxpayers to get a backbone and stand up for what is right and just in this village. NOW MY RANT! Once again, behind close doors our Mayor and board took it upon themselves to form a new committee "The Community Response Committee". Using a "cross section" from different neighborhoods, the committee should be able to highlight common problems and figure out how best to solve the problems. Have you NOT been listening to YOUR VILLAGE? We have been telling you for years, what the problems are and your solution is to form a committee? We want to see ACTION NOT LIPS MOVING! These same issues that your asking this committee to look into have all ready been brought to your attention and now you need a special Committee? And the best part.............WAIT FOR IT: "THE MAYOR'S OFFICE STATES IT RECIEVED REQUESTS FROM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT THEIR NAMES NOT BE MADE PUBLIC, SO THEY CAN FEEL FREE TO TALK OPENING ABOUT DIFFERNT PROBLEMS? SO.............YOUR SECRET COMMITTEE REALLY DOES NOT WANT THE INPUT FROM THE TAXPAYER? REALLY? I'm APPALLED THAT YOU THINK THE VILLAGE RESIDENTS AND TAXPAYERS ARE THAT STUPID.......IT'S TIME FOR A SHAKE UP IN ENDICOTT AND WE THE TAXPAYERS NEED TO GET OFF OUR BUTTS NOW!!!! What does this Secret Committee have to hide? If your going to speak to the people, then speak to them, not behind closed doors with the Mayor and board. As homeowners and taxpayer WE know the problems and so do you. Stop talking and take action! See More- Will you ever look into why Anthony Fiala is being given special tre...atment by his mother, Barbara Fiala, the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles? It doesn't appear so!!! Why wouldn't you look into this? His license is required BY LAW to be REVOKED for a minimum of one year. Yet he was given only a suspension for six months. See More
- What this newspaper forgot to tell the readers in the article on div...ersity is this: Diversity is death. The more diverse a neighborhood is, the less socially cohesive it becomes, while the more homogenous or segregated it is, the more socially cohesive. These people have zero impulse control. They are given to violence, have no common sense with I.Q.’s barely above primates, non existent work ethic, allergic to books. They live only to get high and get off. They can’t plan for the future and kill each other for cell phones, sneakers and purple grape drink. Diversity” is joke, a fraud put upon us by a clown show cult, none of it makes any sense. See More
I do not like how they inserted USA Today into the paper and called it "more". This is (was) a local paper and local ne...ws is now hard to find.
