PICTURES AT A STAINED-GLASS EXHIBITION
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION MARCH 9-11, 2018) — While wondering why the airport runways have to be redone for the third time in a few years and why Clapp Park needs its third renovation, each time with work doled out to Favored contractors and consultants, THE PLANET revisited the mayor’s proposal to bring a stained-glass motif to Tyler Street. We decided to get into the spirit of the thing, and thus we propose a series of stained glass windows depicting various city events and personages, much the same way stained glass in churches were used to teach illiterate people about the Bible, the life of Christ, and the saints.
Here are the scenes and people we will commission (Favored, politically correct artists only, of course, with as little talent as possible — the any it’s usually done in Pittsfield):
— Charley Baker, Richie Neal, and their coat-holder Pittsfield mayor depicted multiplying the loaves and fishes then lunching on hummingbird tongues while Persip Park beggars linger near the BIC letting the dog lick their sores.
— Peter Marchetti aromaticly curing the pink-faced lepers stumbling around at Lach’s Lounge and the beer garden at Wahconah Park.
— Linda Tyer cutting ribbons and asparagus at garbage cans and lounge seats while she steps on the head of a taxpayer.
— Helen “Cookie” Moon pounding vanilla wafers from the city council dais.
— Nick Caccamo cashing a city pay check at Methuselah, stepping over an underage kid who’s just been shot.
— John Krol going back into the tomb after rising from the dead. In the tomb, we see equipment for a podcast and the Maytag repairman. He wonders where everyone has gone.
— Tony Simonelli in a tar-mottled baseball uniform, getting picked off first.
— Earl Persip tap dancing across his cell like Mr. Bojangles.
— Peter White transfigured on the top of Mt. Greylock. He has the countenance of a thin coat of finger paint drying on a desk blotter.
— Kathy Yon offloading makeup onto her face while looking into a cracked mirror.
— Jason “JIV” McCandless leading the tax collectors in robbing The Good Samaritan of the poor fellow’s every last cent.
— Kristen Behneke getting her nails done by nine members of her staff while a herd of swine jump off the roof at the Mercer Building.
— Matt Kerwood in a city hall men’s room stall doing strange things with his bow tie.
— The poor, huddled masses of the Pittsfield working class, bunched around a barrel fire outside while gang members, drug dealers, and welfare cheats buy lazy man’s lobster with EBT cards at the downtown Big Y. In the parking lot, a drug user dies of an overdose.
— The “clients” at the Merrill Road meth clinic buying heroin in the parking lot while Chief Wynn sips daquiris on a sunny beach, far away.
— DPW chief turning wine into polluted water at the wedding of a contractor and a consultant.
— The kickbacks and bribes infecting local government letting Joe Kapanski die on a cross on top of Hill 78.
— David Turocy walking on water at the Cleveland Reservoir.
Have a great weekend, everybody.

The Usual Disclaimer.
I’m glad I stayed up to read this.I’m probably the only one in pittsfield laughing to outloud on the way to sleep. Excellent !
How about the tax man shaking down the common working man, while the Good Old Boys eat cake?
How about Donald Trump paying Stormy Daniels to remain silent about their past relationship?
Jealous there Jonathan?
Stormy Daniels would have nothing to do with me! I am not a billionaire orange-colored “Frito-Lay Cheetoh”.
If someone who is a have-not like me expressed interest in someone like Stormy Daniels, she would laugh at me. She likes the rich guys like Donald Trump. It is all about sex, money, power, and LIES!
So, to answer your question, I am NOT jealous of Donald Trump’s past relationship with Stormy Daniels! It would never happen for a have-not guy like me.
– Jonathan Melle
Sadly Jonathon it is exactly people like you that made Stormy ⛈ the tornado that may have sucked The Donald into the vortex. So it is all your fault you filthy bastard. Nucifaro probably has copies of private video chats between you and a Stormy lookalike and that’s why you hate him so much.
How did someone like me, who has more debts than assets, and is a have-not, make someone like Stormy Daniels, who is going to make millions off of a “Monica Lewinsky”?
No high-priced woman like Stormy or Monica would have anything to do with someone like me!
I subscribe to the old Catholic mantra: “Some for the rich man, Nun for the poor man”. Donald Trump and Bill Clinton got some, while guys like me got Nun.
– Jonathan Melle
The reasons why I hate Luciforo are:
* Nuciforo conspiratorially had people bully me since I was 20 years old during the Spring of 1996. In over 21-plus years, no one from Nuciforo’s network who has harmed me has apologized to me for bullying me on Nuciforo’s behalf without Nuciforo leaving behind his own fingerprints/DNA.
*Nuciforo filed multiple “ethics” complaints against my dad from the Fall of 1997 – Spring of 1998. During the Spring of 1998, Nuciforo set up secretive plans with the Pittsfield Police Department to have me arrested by falsely telling them that I made “veiled threats” against him. Nuciforo was upset that my dad, who was a Berkshire County Commissioner, and myself opposed his push to abolish Berkshire County Government, which was abolished on July 1, 2000.
* Nuciforo served as a corporate Attorney for a private Boston law firm serving big banks and insurance companies, while he chaired the state Senate Finance Committee from 1999 – 2006. In early-2007, Nuciforo lobbied then-Governor Deval Patrick to name him state Commissioner of Insurance.
* Nuciforo strong-armed two women candidates – Sara Hathaway and Sharon Henault – for a state government political office: Pittsfield Registrar of Deeds, in the Spring of 2006. He anointed himself to a sinecure to plot a failed run for U.S. Congress in 2012.
* From the Summer of 2005 to present, Nuciforo’s network spread vicious rumors against me to the people of the Pittsfield area. The specific rumor that I “stalked a Jewish woman from Otis” was actually part of Nuciforo having people associated with his political network conspiratorial bullying of me in 1996 when I was 20 then 21 years old that yesteryear.
* Nuciforo has invested hundreds of thousands of his own dollars into a not-for-profit marijuana dispensary in Pittsfield. I suspect he is using his political connections to sell marijuana.
* Nuciforo is the inbred, dark Prince of Pittsfield politics. His late-father was a state Senator and then a Judge. His late-aunt was Pittsfield’s first Mayor and a long-time Berkshire Community College Professor. His uncle was a Pittsfield state Representative. Nuciforo believes he owns Pittsfield politics and that people should either bend to his will or fear his reprisals. I long told Nuciforo that he doesn’t scare me. I long told Nuciforo that “I will always speak my good conscience as long as I live”!

What about Stormy Bouvier?
My own fantasy has Bob Mueller setting up shop in the gym at city hall and requesting all financial records going back 15 years.
And then sending out subpoenas to the last 5 school superintendents.
Agree
Corporations are buying their stock and selling it,no crap, predicted that,when is that overseas money coming back so the debt will reduce? Trumpsuckers are going to get screwed by you’re own President.
trump saying America first then visiting a thug who had his brother murdered as hiis next guest, putin is another story another mass murderer documented. Trump Ned’s need adjustment needs to go but not Lizzy but maybe a Kennedy.
Don’t you remember when Clinton sent Madame Halfbrite to North Korea?
Don’t remember, I’ve been sleeping under a bridge for the last thirty years.
http://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/24/world/albright-greeted-with-a-fanfare-by-north-korea.html
Both former Presidents, Carter and Clinton have visited N. Korea after their presidency.
http://abcnews.go.com/International/prominent-americans-met-north-korean-leaders/story?id=53635089
Good piece Professor, You’ve got to believe to achieve ! Can I get an Amen.
North Korea until Stormy Blows over.
Thought Trump’s America was one power under God? Screw putin and now junk. And screw trump. Anyone got their job yet? Mayor T will be on the job again, creating the BIC economic engine,she is really starting to roll,4 more years!
Sorry, but the BIC economic engine is a joke and everybody knows it. Any jobs that are generated, which is doubtful, those few jobs will go to local political boot kissers. Tyer has no real interest in job creation and has said so in the past. She doesn’t believe that good paying jobs are the reason why people would want to stay in this area.
You’re correct on that one sPat. She did say people should come to live here first,not work.
Thank you President Trump for your soon to be historic meeting with the North Korean leader. Peace through STRENGTH!!!! Leaders such as the one in North Korea respect strength not weak leaders who throw money at them and watch as they use the money to create nuclear weapons.
When the North Korean leader told President Trump he was too old and deranged, President Trump said he doesn’t believe in name calling which is why he would never call Kim-Jong Un short and fat. President Trump left no doubt that Kim-Jong Un know that our country is more powerful and if North Korea wants to be a player on the world stage (which they now are thanks to Obama’s infusion of mega bucks to them), then they need to understand the balance of power and using nukes just because you have them ISN’T DONE by respectable countries. This is the only language understood by power mad individuals.
Yes, I also agree with President Trump that America’s factories have been allowed to rot for far too long when they used to be a source of good income for American workers. Go President Trump!!!
Good job Pat. You got Hannitys speech almost perfect. He must be so proud of his little soldiers.
Unlike the left, I can think for myself thank you!!
I thought the moonbats and libtards hated Rush Limbaugh?
President Trump has meet with KJU already….think Asia trip/forbidden city
The Berkshire Eagle (BB) runs an article about how so many poor in this area are losing good teeth because dental care is so bad that procedures such as root canals and caps are not covered by Medicare. The article blames government for not covering those procedures, but there is no mention of the fact that when people had jobs in this area, they also had dental and medical care. With the loss of so many jobs here in Berkshire County, many people lost their dental insurance.
Pittsfield city workers and school employees get the best of the best when it comes to healthcare including top notch dental care. No worries for those groups thanks to the beaten down taxpayers paying for their excellent benefits, but it’s the poor who are suffering. No employment plans for this area because as we know our current mayor thinks that job creation isn’t a priority and not the reason why people would want to live here. This shows how out of touch these local politicians are with the poor in this city. People are herded on to the government programs to pay for basics and to keep them beholden to big government, but receiving excellent dental care ONLY comes from having a good paying job with benefits.
The good news is that many Pittsfield residents don’t need teeth because they cannot afford food. So they can just make lemonade out of lemons and drink it.
Pat – school employees do not get dental insurance.
That’s your only comment Mr. Moore? What about the larger issue of no jobs, no dental care for the poor who are losing teeth as we speak?
Well, hopefully they are at least putting them under their pillows. If they can afford pillows that is.
Mr. Moore is correct, looked it up, no dental.
The jail pays great,teachers and administrators pay great,the courthouse all around the county.Probation officer makes85k,court officer 75k,secrataries and clerks 50k……State pays70k….these are the decision makers and all can afford the 200 a year tax increase….the SS 1400 a month can not do it.My mayor said she would represent mr 1400.They drive nice cars and live in nice homes.You cant beat Pittsfields elite
The lesson for the kids should be to “get connected” and a good job shall be yours….schooling or experience not necessarily required.
Exactly,kiss as and get a great job.Court officer pay anyone ,anyone.Cliff Nilan is 67 years old and makes130k and will retire on 110k 9 k per month and wont leave his easy no job.
Great column, thanks for the laughs Dan. If Gov. Baker is going to star in a stained glass window, then let’s not forget Liz Warren – sitting cross-legged outside her teepee, smoking a peace pipe, wampum beads around her neck. Hail Pocahontas!
I would like to know after the Great Gaetani gets done with the seven Jokes on the City Councilor, that he might get involved with reopening the Consent Decree. The BilC has G E written all over it with taxpayer expense. All it is, watching it,is backslapping each other, again, at taxpayer expense.
Better yet, why doesn’t the Mayor and henchmen realize the 250 million the Wizard is saving the City,13mil for the BIC is paltry compared to that dump.The Country is turning into one big giveaway to slap happy, backslapping, corporate for the rich and connected. How is the BIC going to keep our grandchildren here? Heard that at the giveaway today.
When is someone on the City Coucil going to shut down mammoth increases to our Schools? Never? thought so.
The Planet and readers can continue to talk common sense, and Gaetani can continue his crusade,but what just happened at Coubcil when those four that voted to kill the funding the other night, showed us all something, what’s right is right and this time, they were right. We cannot give away the store, whether it’s School Programs,free Insurance, babysitting homeless neglected kids,tifs,Covanta half million, many many more,it has to stop or you will soon be taxed out of you’re homes,no?
Doing your job is standing up for what’s right. The City of Pittsfield needs leadership. Leadership that does the right thing by the people. We need responsible decisions, regarding the entire School budget, not an additional million dollars added to the current one. Consolidations, and everyone on board to make it happen. No to the toters!! Fiscal responsibility!
Covanta backs out next contract we should get 500 back, was that written in?

No to the toters!! Fiscal responsibility!
The Mayor has stated she wanted Daycare many times.Follow the horse manure.
The truth revealed – in a letter-to-the editor by the former VP of Krofta – in today’s Beagle.
Does that mean the stable genius is neither?
Fake news against the Wiz and you know it Fritz. Gaetani Built Plants,that’s fact, hop on the bus Gus. aside…Trump is now Jong’s Lap Dog.
yup, the water wiz was exposed for the fraud that he is – he KNOWS nothing or technical writing or engineering – like we all suspected – FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD
Tricksie shame on you, you’re smarter than that! Fritz,dunno.
I only hope that he didn’t get his engineering degree from Trump U.
Krofta, and Gaetani disdained technical writing. The main reason Wang worked at Krofta because he was a geek who enjoyed technical wtiting.
Just wondering what all of the Planuts have to say about Dan Guss letter in The Eagle today? Just waiting for Gaitani rebuttals!
Sounds like a shill.
He’s obviously a bootlicker with connections to the consultants who shoukd be laughed of of Pittsfield after being given a boot in the ass.
Guss has a severe traumatic brain injury. I wouldn’t put much faith in his recollection of events.
False!!
Check it out.
And Gaetani is much too busy getting his life in order to be distracted by a municipal water project. When was the last time he managed a large contract that did not involve defense lawyers?
That’s not what he’s proposing?
We educate 5 k students with 1200 employees
Send more money
Abe Lincoln and George Washington were self taught, maybe the Wiz learned on The job? Whatever he did he was Very Successful. I suppose hop on the bus wasn’t aware also, he taught sciences at Public Schools. Suppose he didn’t help save what’s now over two hundred million for the taxpayer in the City? over a hundred of it decades ago.
Look, if people want to say lies on here, fine, you can also go on his television show, come on Fritz, open invitation, you know the drill, bring diapers, the water proof kind. Now stop lying or I’ll have to bring up all of the Trump Bullshit.
Thanks a lot now I can’t get that song out of my head.
Actually Bill, Trump would love Gaetani,slashing the overpriced Consultants plan thirty years ago to build a Plant, saving a hundred million, and water has been so great, heck, doesn’t Wal-Mart drink water from our sources, heard that somewhere? Trump would probably hire this guy in a minute. A true professional and innovator. And stop reading bias nonsense from the Eagle, ask yourself, why would someone who was a V P nobody,write something so silly using semantic comments, after the Wiz demolished the Consultants and seven silly Councilors last week?
According to the Eagle the mayor is looking at PAY AS YOU THROW garbage plan. This sounds like her revenge for the backlash on her beloved toter deal. It is payback time I guess.
Gaetani proposed that months ago before Krol,Tyer, or anyone else, get in line if you’re trying to outdo the Master, Mayor. Come on you guys! And the only reason I know all of this is because I was there when it happened.
Does N K have the capability of putting a nuke on a land base launch,don’t think the U S even does that. For good reason. Trump’s a boob, do you’re homework.
They could send a missile to Uranus.
Son of a beachJong just sent home one of ours in a body bag, for what? And Putin’s a murderer, come on trump fans?
Gaetani has a petition according to the Gazette asking for an accounting of the projects, read that,doesn’t want a penny more spent by the Council until the consultants produce that documentation. Naysayers were even helped by his latest devouring of the no excuse seven that voted for funding, without hardly an argument or peep. Why does he even bother with people, who would in some cases lose their homes? If I were him I would tell people to kiss his ass, but he won’t, he’s the real deal, he wants to help.The four City Councilors did a fantastic job, and going forward have a lot of clout because(they are)four. Please help keep water rates affordable, the opposition to the four are,and we’re,totally negligent. Maybe it’s time to increase Council pay to attract a better City Councilor, but give it to the four who voted for Kapanski. Don’t worry about Gaetani, he’ll give advice for free, his fee is 1300 an hour.
We kept hearing the Word Champion at the B I C press conference today. Who were they talking about?
Maybe the Champion factory outlet is coming back. It was quite the economic engine.
It has to be the Planet or the Wiz, because it certainly isn’t the Prep Cook.
I went to Spectrum today to get a couple of digital adapters and was told I could only get the large boxes (even though they have advertised the smaller ones). So I left.
I am checking with family and friends and they were able to get them some weeks ago.
This is a scam. The larger ones command more monthly fees than the digital ones.
I also learned that communities in New York State are taking Spectrum to court. So why isn’t our CC looing out for us as well.
My husband and I are seriously considering dropping Spectrum. Spectrum and Charter are out of control. They do what they want and could care less about the people they supposedly serve. We are going up to $120.00 a month soon. For cable? That is outrageous!!!! Why aren’t local politicians fighting this or are they in bed with them?
Pat, you are 1000 percent right. They are coming for every dime they can squeeze out of anyone who stays with them. I was told (by an employee of Spectrum) that the MINIMUM bill for a Spectrum bundle will be $200 by springtime. Seems like they have been laying the groundwork for a shafting of their customers and it is just starting to explode.
There are other options but so far they seem very complicated to me. Listening for any and all advice on a work around. It gets complicated when the needs of different people within a household vary.
Call Senator Warren who wants to protect you from yourself and Spectrum.Did and Trump supporters want to spell Trumps name as given to the family many decades ago…I would not either
Get thee to Wal-Mart and buy a ROKU. One time purchase. No monthly fees.
How do you run a ROKU without internet service? Isn’t that where Spectrum comes in?
Correct, but then you don’t have to rent their boxes forever.
Soon Berkshire County people will look like they come from Appalachia since the poor will not have teeth. Why doesn’t the left care? Why do they crack jokes about this situation? I thought the left cared so much for the poor? Is it because they don’t want to acknowledge the connection between the lack of good jobs and people not having dental insurance because this would makes the Progressives look bad? They need to read the article in the Berkshire Eagle and the connection between poor dental health and your general health. This is a serious crisis in this area right now.
Has the Wizard so wounded the Mayor that she has to stack the deck with the appointment of Dina Guiel to the Licensing Board Tuesday night?
Can Jon give us the top twenty streets to avoid pothole wise?
PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT!
Stay off of:
North st.
Tyler st.
Lincoln st.
First st.
Second st.
Linden st.
Dewey ave
Cherry st.
Burbank st.
Kent ave
Madison ave
And Seymour st.
And you might survive.
They just named a street after Tyer. It says ONE WAY.
What about Stormy Daniels Ave.?
How would Jon know what streets are bad, pothole wise? He lives in New Hampshire!!
There are potholes in Pittsfield, New Hampshire, just like in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. But I don’t live in either one of the two Pittsfields.
I hit a pothole one week ago. Luckily, I was driving slowly.
Don’t mess with Big Jon ! It is late at night.
Connections?
I’!! Start, Churchill and Pecks.
I understand that there is a difference between taxes and grants blah blah blah. But why is there so much money for things like the Innovation Center, Shot Spotters, millions for the Common upgrade, parking kiosks, gyms, pay raises and on and on? And yet something as basic as decent roads apparently has no where near enough money.
Do not buy into this singsong about the roads are bad every spring. The roads in Pittsfield are horrible way beyond any normal spring in my lifetime. And the reason is because they have not been properly maintained for years. The longer they go without resurfacing the more cracks and holes evolve. And so now the choice is to continually fill in thousands of pot holes all across the city or resurface most of the roads.
I would love to know what the mayors plan is to fix this road mess. It seems like Pittsfield has several huge money pit problems and I can see HUGE tax increases every year for the next 20 years. This is no place to live and get ahead if you do not make big money. Smart families will consider options now.
dusty
You are right. Everything has been totally neglected year after year. The side streets have no chance of ever being on the list. Ward 3 Cacamo has said our street is on the list. This has been over 3 years now.
The truth is our taxes have been mismanaged for 3 decades.
Trumps lawyer paid Stormy out of his home equity line account that has to be the dumbest story yet and there have been some doozies. Even the staunchest R on here has to admit that?
Almost as bad as 30k emails about Chelsea’s wedding and yoga
Apparently not.
Pittsfield is getting a reputation, and not a good one, across the country. Three men from Pittsfield were arrested in Georgia for kidnapping a policeman and leading a wild chase while being pursued by other law enforcement while fighting with the kidnapped officer in the car. All three Pittsfield men were stoned.
Remember our glory days of Pittsfield Proud?
PALOOKAVILLE. Dusty, go into you’re home equity line and stay?
Seriously, we expect to bring business s into the city with these roads? Hopefully whatever business s come they can have all their supplies and materials delivered by drone, unless they can afford steep vehicle maintenance expenses.
Picture yourself in an ambulance barreling across the city to the emergency room dodging potholes and you are flying all over in back. Or your the business man banker who has just been picked up in a limo at the airport and you are headed to Hotel North. boom boom ka bang bop bop…pow ka pow
“lovely little city ya got here mayor… Can’ wait to move my business here”
Just heard from a friend who has a relative living at Sugarhill in Dalton. Spectrum ran out of boxes and left them high and dry and couldn’t tell them when they would get more. The residents were without TV for 2 days until they called Dish. The only problem with Dish is that you can’t get our local channels.
We are at their mercy.
Also, check out letter in today’s BB about Spectrum (from an unhappy customer).
Gasoline much higher,cable bills much higher,electric rate much higher,insurance house and car higher,health insurance much higher,co pays are higher,property taxes off the charts,water and sewar much higher,food off the charts….every corporation got a huge tax break forever and the average guy got 5 bucks per week more in their shitty paycheck.buy your own health insurance 15 k with high deductable…love Trump
Pat im guessing your bills are going down and you get free health insurance
Obama said he would cut the annual insurance cost by $2,500. Now I can have tons of money.
Thank you O B
Terrible health insurance. More and more things are not being covered. More and more providers in this area not taking new patients. Terrible healthcare here in Berkshire County. Doctors will not come here because they won’t get enough money. Not enough dermatologists and the ones we do have not accepting new patients. NOT GOOD!!!
Since trump got in not Obama going out or Clinton going anywhere,no job ,higher gas,higher electric, tax refund lower,higher prices at all Stores, health co-pays higher,insurance paying less,roads deteriorating, check out out Hancock Rd, tony roads can’t even fix that one by the bridge, this is deplorable because this didn’t happen overnight, Commish Tearemupsee didn’t have a plan, and the Councilor in Ward seven has the nerve to say he’s doing an admirable job? Anyone can sit in an office, bet a call from one of the seven water votes for and fill in a pot-hole.
Oh, my home went up in value. Should have voted for that Gaetano fellow, Planet doesn’t seem interested.
Looking good America, big numbers coming in. Thank you President Trump!
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/03/09/this-is-the-greatest-manufacturing-jobs-boom-in-twenty-years/
good reliable source too
Dusty only reads the Berkshire Eagle.
Great job President Trump!!!! You are a breath of fresh air!!! No more phony politicians!!!!
Interestingly Pat, Melania is not breathing that fresh air. She wants to move back to Europe and forget her whole American experience. But Trump is holding the kid hostage. See Breitbart or ask Hannity about that
When overseas money comes in then we can make a deal out of big numbers. Aside…Trump has multiple ST D’s but Stormy’s Lawyer says they’re not from her.
Who are you, Trump’s personal urologist?
Is the bald spot on the back of trumps head a scalp job? Him and Succone sound like a couple of fools.
Maybe he’s Cohen home equity advisor?
After having seen a couple of items in the news, with the Planets coverage,the nonsense recently at the City Council concerning the seven that voted without any input on a mega project, as far as the consequences of not trying for alternative solutions, or even mention the killer price tag, and thanx for the former builder of the Water Plant and the four Fantastic Councilors that the Planet Calls them. I’d just call them the four most intelligent, the other seven were incredibly wrong using the Kick the Can down the road b s. Anyway, if those four continue as one, there should be some positive results for the taxpayer who simply cannot afford the continual spending by the Mayor,Schools and Seven City Councilors,Percept should wear a Dunce Cap at the next Meeting, the Gaetani fellow said he will bring forward proposals for some kind of accoutability going forward. That man is sharp, but will any of these vozo’s listen. Aside, Go Trump!
I love the beautiful speech Senator Elizabeth Warren gave at the summit.
Didn’t the media have enough of the locker room audio against PrezPlayboy to suggest he was a creep before elected? Not that there is anything wrong with side dishes. Stormy is an actress by the way.
God Bless the Dignity that President Trump has brought to this Office,and the Honesty! Thank You President Trump. We are so glad that you didn’t have pay those exhore-brant prices for Steel before these new Tariffs.
Locally,while thugs walk the streets and taxpayers can’t drive on crummy roads at night. We must wonder if Gaetani is doing us any favors, trying like hell to keep people in their homes,because seven useless City Council members were to lazy to think and understand,what a wipeout of a tax bill would have resulted in their haste to vote, without a Rate Figure, uncomprehensible. It blows the mind. Gaetani has lassoed them, now it’s just a matter of branding the flock of seven.
Thank Heavens Hancock Speedway has created any serious accidents lately, but speeding is a daily occurrence,nutz. And speaking of Hancock Rd. extension across from Peck’s Rd. don’t try going that way, probably the biggest potholes in the City by that Bridge. Tony should cash in on that Vote he made the other night, it was embarrassing?
I think Tony S needs to come out to his ward constituents and the rest of the cities taxpayers + explain how he has magically went over to the do whatever we say Tyer/Marchetti side. It was less than a year ago he was leading the charge against these progressive tax+spend dimwits(Krol-Caccamo-White) Don’t know if Tony S has been promised some project for his ward or Tyer/Marchetti are sliding him some of their Taconic $ kickbacks but his turnaround has been disturbing. Doesn’t pass the smell test.
Trump is Great
All Hail
Sonny–Something’s gotta give. His vote was absurd.
Seems like trump was losing it tonight anyone see that, he started off by calling Chuck Todd an sob, not cool.
David Turocy walking on water at the Cleveland Reservoir? Nope. Let’s remember what floats.
I ran across a guy on Dalton Ave pushing a wheel barrow full of asphalt chunks. Asked him if he was giving back to the community by cleaning up the mess. He told me he used to picked up aluminum cans for extra cash but now he sees an opportunity to recycle road material as there is enough volume to turn a profit. Anyone else interested can take it to Lenoxdale where there is a recyclable collection site. Technically it is city property so you might need to register with the city as a private contractor and pull a permit and pay taxes on your profits. (you may be able to deduct the cost of safety equipment and your wheel barrow if you file schedule C)
And if you do this please BE SAFE. Be careful not to twist an ankle stepping into one of the deeper holes. Wear bright florescent yellow pants and vest especially during night collections. OH, and, watch out for cars and trucks which despite all the risks of damage still need to get from place to place.
Harvesting asphalt can be an exciting new career for both the entrepreneur as well as the bum on the street looking for recognition. Get your foot in the door now!
Dusty,
Step away from the gin bottle. You can get help.
