SOUND OFF: Published October 27

The Tonawanda News

I am extremely disappointed in you, Mayor Soos, and all you in North Tonawanda who are backing him up. Are you kidding me? You are using our taxpayer dollars to fund a lawsuit for your developer buddies against the state Department of Environmental Conservation? Let me give you a hint … developers don’t want to fund their own lawsuit because they know they will lose! You think that a few houses built in wetlands will be expanding our tax base? Here’s a hint: our tax base would be larger if you would simply stop throwing our tax dollars at private developers and frivolous lawsuits. I am not voting any of our politicians back into office or council unless I know they are against funding this ridiculous lawsuit being filed on behalf of private developers that have plenty of their own money.

I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his “Obama phone.” I asked him what an “Obama phone” was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive a FREE new phone and approximately 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month. I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and lo and behold he was telling the truth. Tax payer money is being redistributed to welfare recipients for free cell phones. This program was started earlier this year. Enough is enough, the ship is sinking and it’s sinking fast. The very foundations that this country was built on are being shaken.

I cannot believe the candidates for mayor. Larry Soos says he is going to do something about code enforcement and his department heads and then doesn't do anything. Then I get a phone call from a friend of the mayor, asking if I have any concerns about the city that the mayor should know about. Also meeting with Rob Ortt, he said he will look into the codes that are violated in the city and he would get back to me the next day, well it has now been going on two weeks. There are many big time violations in this city, but it is in all of who you know to get things taken care of.
