Well, I know two of the ones on Grand Central are gone. One of them for a few weeks now and the other closed as recently as last week. They are not just fining them now, they can lock them right out. Wonder if the 420 guy is next?

I'm a little surprised that the entire cleanup area was trashed again. By the river encampment, of course it was. But the entire city? I have been part of the downtown cleanup several times so I'm not buying into the entire city was trashed again.

Oh I see it now. There are multiple posts out there. I do know for a fact that they have been reported off and on for years and nothing has ever changed.

Haven't seen anyone defending them other than one post who I am aware is a family member.

That guy has had complaints filed against him numerous times. This appears to be the first time ol Nick Dubina got wind of it. Guy who owns that place is a dirtbag and the sad part is, he has money. Owns a mail transport company delivering mail between USPS locations.

LOL. There was an interview with some local landlords a week or so ago. They both said they would sue. To me that means they have outstanding violations and have failed to address them, otherwise what do you have to sue for? They also blamed their tenants and I'm sure there is likely some truth to that too. The majority are not local and many hide behind LLC or Corp names so they pay the fines and do nothing or they ignore the fines because no one can actually find them.

Who's the clown? Rugg or Waters?

This is not new by any means. I wonder about the money they want? Are they making requests for grants and being denied? Seems like that is the correct process to go through for money. If they have all those people want to volunteer, then according to my definition of that, it's not paid (ask me how I know lolol) They also appear to want the money that is there due to vacancies on staffing. I would assume the city wants to fill those vacancies eventually as do the police. I know they are trying to hire. The city also has a HUGE liability exposure with a bunch of "volunteers" doing the things they want to do. What if one of those homeless goes after someone and hurts them? I'm sure injured person would then go after the city.

So there ya go.

Having a performance review doesn't mean he did anything wrong. A stipulation was added to his contract indicating his 3 year (or whatever it was) extension of contract would require a performance review. What's the big deal? I am required to have a performance review once a year. It's part of the terms of our employment. There are set metrics regarding certain aspects of my job that I am expected to meet or exceed and it is reviewed annually.

It's NAHL, just one of the only sanctioned Jr Leagues in the USA Hockey.

It's USA Junior Hockey. I think the kids pay to play.

We did not. Got sidetracked elsewhere. That will probably be a just Dave and I road trip as most of these folks we ride with want to bar hop.

Wow. What a news flash that is.

Downloaded it as soon as I had the link this morning. I have had the Steuben County one for awhile and this is the same app they use. It's great.

Just struck me as an attempt to create more drama.

Yep I saw that but what one guy said was they were "riding the line" and that's illegal. Is it? I would think crossing the line would be, but riding the line? You would know that one better than me, but that guy knows.

Plus those "eyewitnesses" who claim to have video & have yet to actually post it. You know damn well if they had it, they would post it. It would have to be a dash cam and I'm not sure how someone would be lucky enough to be right there at that angle when the crash occurred.

I tell my son this allllll the time when he's crying poverty

Another "unfunded mandate" required out of city funds those taxpayers have to cover.

Well, Israel seems to be on some sort of mission now so they will likely retaliate. Then Iran will drop a big bomb on them and that will be that. Biden already told them it's a no, and we wouldn't get involved. I think Netanyahu is losing his mind.

Wow.

Problem is that it's all contractual. They can't just reduce his pay until his contract is up.

personally it's really all a pissin match between Moss and the IDA chair due to ummm differences of opinion dating back years.

Not that I disagree with his message, I do question whether he has absolute authority to stop or decline payments that I assume were previously approved by the legislator? The IDA requested the audit so they already knew their were issues and they wanted to figure out how to resolve. An audit was the perfect start. The executive seems to imply credit for everything no matter where it generated. Again, I support the message just not the messenger. lol
