What if one of those homeless goes after someone and hurts them?  I'm sure injured person would then go after the city.

hence the request for increased patrolling of the problem areas

loved the series, was bit confused by the old man scenes, but now having read the interview, i do not think they could have ended it any better

1. videographer is being an ass, at least in this series of videos you can tell hes kind of looking for reactions

2. this supervisor and at least the dipshit in the black/beard need to be fired asap, not only unprofessional but certainly a liability for the image and wellbeing of that town. he brings up the camera guy not having a vest/hardhat...well none of the guys working near the equipment including "donny" are wearing them either( see liability to the Town).

likely one of those "unpopular opinions" but:

at this point someone (globally speaking) needs to tell Israel enough is enough. words contrary to the shipments of arms/money from Uncle Sugar isnt going to do it and obviously the UN and world courts do not have enough teeth, so perhaps Tehran lobbing some armaments' their way may get Bibi to think twice about continuing the slaughter

btw i dont believe for one second, such action by Iran would be 100% altruistic in Nature but if it serves the purpose...

How about eliminating all Federal monies to these Colleges and Universities.  I’m not sure how much money is paid to these institutions but until it starts costing them something nothing will change.

well who on earth would the Teacher's Unions vote for then?

There’s no debate, he’s just wrong. Fruit, particularly apples and berries, combined with a good vinegar based dressing, works well in a salad.

Nope, nope, nope...thats like putting salt on watermelon or syrup on corn-fritters and sausage

Im amost thinking we Should just change the topic to "Adam's Opinions" instead? lol

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

Moss is no Saint by any metrics but the IDA has been screwing the pooch for years now in regards to the Arena, Margeson has picked up right where his predecessor left off....dont get me started on Roman either. fact of the matter is; the arena, in its current stages, is a millstone nothing more. for years now the pipe-dream of success as well as the recurrent promises of "tomorrow will be better" is played out; weive had and funded 20+ years of tomorrows and no better than at the beginning.

rural white people, as a group, now pose four interconnected threats to the fate of the United States’ pluralist, constitutional democracy.

How credible is this guy when, as a political scientist, he cannot get the basic foundation of our governance correct? Ours is Constitutional Republic, NOT a Constitutional democracy....there is a difference and sadly we are careening towards the latter.

Some white Americans are showing signs of disagreeing with key democratic principles.

They/We have issues not with Democratic principles but democrat "principles".

As to the Anti-democratic section: i am suspicious(ironic i know) since at the bottom of the graphic is this "Margins of error are not available for ANES data due to complex methodology." Perhaps more simple methods would produce different numbers? for all the reader knows the margin could be well above that which represents accurate data

However, if a State assessment finds deeper issues than the independently commissioned audit did, then the appropriate legal processes are the answer

along with the immediate and unconditional resignation of current IDA board/Chair

Israel's response " Unfortunately, in the last 24 hours there was a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip." As opposed to the INTENTIONAL killing of thousands of innocents?

ANd of course the two-faced limp-dicked response from Uncle Sam; "U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson wrote on X that the White House is “heartbroken and deeply troubled by the strike” and called on Israel “to swiftly investigate what happened.”....sure and theyll just keep sending more weapons to Israel while bemoaning the violence....at this point id trust any Israeli "investigation" as much as a fee hump in a Tajuana cathouse

its a small symptom of a larger ill of corrupted governance in short

I remember watching a movie about African female warriors but can’t remember the title.  It was a very good movie set roughly in this same time period.  I wonder if it was based on these warriors.   

i think it was "The Woman King" or something of that nature. i watched it and it was a good one

https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/first-arena-audit-reveals-loss-misstatements-missing-records/

over 20 years and many of these fools are acting like the problems in the joint are new! time was Mr. Margeson didn't hold such a forgiving attitude towards the mismanagement of the Arena. further, the audacity to claim the Arena is not funded by taxpayer money when over 875k( that we know of) has been siphoned from other potential uses. i may be wrong but i could swear part of the county room tax has been used as well?

875k could have been well used for small business incubation, assistance to existing small businesses, possibly the FQHC or developing the farmer market at the Fairgrounds....

better idea, forget the fairgrounds, doze the arena, create a greenspace with peripheral parking and use that!

honestly ive never agreed with secret ballots. if you believe i something, own it and defend your stance with logic or whatever is appropriate

generally by the time i realize something is "in"....its out

Good question.  I re-read it twice to see if anything else was referenced or it was even the same project.  Sure sounds like it.  

Maybe the city was counting it's chickens early and went to the legislature for some county money assuming they would get the state money they wanted.

i seemed to remember it being a relatively small amount the Legislature set aside to help start up the FQHC and found this from'21:

"The plan sets aside $3.5 million for “community investment.” One of the proposals in that category, $2 million for a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), emerged as a flashpoint between Moss and the legislature."      https://www.stargazette.com/story/news/local/2021/10/11/chemung-county-american-rescue-plan-funds-covid-chris-moss/6049419001/

and of course Moss threw a fit d/t some changes the Legislature made and then 2/2023 this article indicates the FQHC contract as well as an INcubator were held up in "review" by the Executive's attorney

His role in it, both in adding a match to the tinder box as well as standing by and doing nothing when even his kids and Fox News wonks were saying he needed to do something, is a disgrace.

except i heard a story and found a recent article to check for B.S, stating the Jan 6th committee had and hid communications indicating Trump was trying to get DC mayor i believe, to request Nat guard troops and made the offer of up to 10,000

A "minority of radicals" is all it takes ( and it's not as few as you think anymore ) to set things into motion and suddenly you have Jan. 6th. 

This is not a case of "TDS." This is a man with a giant pulpit, millions of worshippers, and a fragile ego who doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone but himself using outlandish rhetoric to pump up his base. 

i guess in that guess, it would be incumbent upon any media outlet covering that story( or any others) to be sure to NOT bank on people being responsible enough to read beyond the headlines. and there were many headlines similar to the one posted here that infer he was alluding to something other than the auto-industry.

VANDALIA, Ohio (AP) — Former President Donald Trump claimed that he — not President Joe Biden — will protect Social Security and warned of a “bloodbath” if he loses in November as he campaigned for Senate candidate Bernie Moreno in Ohio.

Context is key, and will not be considered by many who are rabidly partisan:

"China now is building a couple of massive plants where they’re going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they’re going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border. Let me tell you something to China, if you’re listening President Xi, and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars to us? No. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath, for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars."

Above is the quote in which he used the phrase, and if one actually reads it, the bloodbath is in reference to what could happen if Chinese-made cars in Mexico are allowed to be sold in American Markets.

of course Pappy Joe et al are claiming its proof trump wants another J6....smh

Honestly, the more I read about Mr Moss the less impressed I am.  Other factors aside, the Arena seems to be doing what they said they are going to do and bring in events, concerts, activities etc.  This other "corp" is not new.  

I feel like no matter what they do or try to do he is not going to be happy unless he is in charge and that's really the issue here.

issue is, Mr. Margeson is following past actions and using exec session contrary to OML(open meetings Law). "personnel issues" is too broad and is NOT included in OML and frankly "future business" is nowhere near a legitimate reason. We have a right to know where every penny is going particularly relating to the Arena. If Moss was serious about the issue, he would enact an executive inquiry into the past 5 years( give or take) of IDA expenditures and release the findings OFFICIALLY instead of a FB post.

If the Arena is seeing "success" then there should be no problems being open about moneys spent thus far and spending no more money on the place
