With The City in Crisis ... Will Council Take the 6 week Hiatus this Year?

With our city in crisis ... the Public employees facing paychecks reflecting only minimum wage ($7.25 per hour) ... is it really wise for our City Council to take a 6 week hiatus ... there is much city business to be conducted and I say that they give up the break this year and get down to business.

 

This City Council and the Mayor need to get together and work out the problems ... get over the past and move forward for the betterment of our city. I know that this problem cannot be fixed overnight and I surely do not stand behind a 78% tax increase ... and I am not for paying any of our city employees the minimum wage. I don't know what the answer is but I do know that if city council and the mayor do not get over the ill feelings that nothing can ever be done to help rectify this situation. We need to stop living in the past and look only to the future ...

 

The supermajority has proven itself to be very ineffective ... they have done nothing.

 

Our city has the potential to be great ... we just need city leadership that will effectively lead us where we need to go ... they need to remember that the right decisions are not always the popular decisions ... they need to stop making promises that they cannot keep ... what they need to do is to promise to do the best job they can for all of the taxpayers of the city of Scranton ... and not just the few who complain at a meeting ... do taxes need to be raised ... I am sure that they do ... 78% is a bit much in my opinion ... do we need cuts ... I'm sure we do ... but sit down and really look at where the cuts would be most feasible ...

 

Perhaps it will take a panel of citizens to help get this situation under control ... to look at the big picture ... I don't know what the answer is but my God we need to work on finding an answer and then get down to the business of trying to fix what may be impossible to fix at this point ...

 

So in essence I think what I am trying to say here is to stop laying blame and move forward ... it's what the citizens need!

 

I say there should be no summer hiatus this year .... this year there is only time for working on our problems!

Janet Evans has painted herself into a corner, and the Mayor looks good in comparision.  How pathetic is that?  The Mayor owns much of this mess, but yet "political genius" Janet Evans looks like an idiot in comparison.  

Now for the record I DO NOT think that the unionized city employees should be paid the minimum wage, but at least the Mayor is acting.  Drastic times require drastic measures.

Janet Evans response?  Her feelings are hurt that they Mayor didn't include ABSOLUTELY ALL of her ideas into the budget, and she offers no other solution to the possbility of a payless-payday.   You simply can't get much more childish than that...and this is Scranton, so the standards are pretty low to begin with.

There is no money, period.  

No bank is going to give the city money, nor should they.  

The Mayor is not going to appear in front of a City Council meeting, tell Janet she was right, and then proceed to get grilled by the mentally retarded that inhabit citizen's participation.

It's judgement day.

If anyone read today's Scranton Times you would see that the story on the front page tells us that these solutions that the Super Majority came up with are not things that they can implement right away they are things that need either Judicial approval or Legislative approval ... really ... come up with things that will be able to be implemented right away Janet ... get your kids in line and sit them down and come up with a feasible plan ... cut the bull$hit ... you can't implement 95% of your Recovery Plan!

Council needs to take action now.  This obstructionist attitude is killing Scranton.  Pass the Mayor's recovery plan, however painful, and then work on the other solutions.   The time for soap box speeches about wasteful spending is over.

Council certainly needs to formulate a plan that does not require judicial or legislative approval ... how long will that take ... She has no idea what is going on nor does she care. Did anyone watch the meeting ... Boyd Hughes making jokes about this and the members of the Super Majority that were present for this meeting laughing ... REALLY! This situation is no joking matter and is not funny ... wow ... that's really all I can say!

Council may as well take the 6 week break.  They haven't done anything in the past 6 months......

Who the f**k does Janet Evans think she is??
 
 

Does she really think that she is that important?  What a jerk she is that she didnt find this meeting, or so many others in the past few months important enough to show up????? WOW she truly does think she is way more important that she really is.  Believe me, I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HER AGAIN.  I have in the past, but will NEVER AGAIN!!! She has sat there and allowed other people to go after other people on council, where are the balls of all the other people to ask her where she has been. She is pathetic.  She refused not to allow to not collect or lower their pay and she said they make less than minimum wage?  Not her, she has missed more meetings now that Gatella has.  Is she collecting her pay now?  If she is she has a lot of nerve. No, I am not one of the Legion of Doom thinking that everything they do is terrific and right.  I think shes pathetic.

RE: Who the f**k does Janet Evans think she is??

Janet Evans has more dedication and dignity to doing the right thing in her pinky than you have in you body.  Get off her already.  Good God.  Is that the best you can do is to make nonstop and dreadful personal attacks. You know she's very ill. Everyone does.  Yet she continues to do all she can.  The people in this city don't deserve Janet Evans.  They never did and they never will.

 

 

...yes. "nonstop and dreadful personal attacks".  Are these people functionally retarded?  Seriously?  How utterly, pathetically STUPID can a group of people be? This is the same crew that SAVAGED Judy Gatelli.  They even dragged her grandchild through the mud.  This crew has claimed Chris Doherty has engaged in every illicit activity except beastiality.  Yet the attacks are only "dreadful" when directed at Janet Evans?  From what I read Ms Evans hasn't been attending meetings...she is fiddling while Rome is burning.  

My God these people are sheet, utter, unmitigated F&^%ing MORONS!

I know she has a bad back that keeps her from sitting behind a desk in a classroom ... but not on the Dias ... she moves slower than she used to ... but don't we all as we advance in years ... but seriously ill ... really ... this is the first that I am hearing of this ... she is in hiding ... that's what she is doing ... hiding from the workers ... hiding from the taxpayers who don't believe she can walk on water and hiding from the media that has hit town.

She has no dignity as far as I am concerned ... she allowed Atty. Hughes to make a joke of the workers who are now being paid minimum wage ... wow ... dignity ... I think not! She is only dedicated to one thing in my opinion and that one thing is Janet Evans and what is best for her ... not what is best for the taxpayers and the city to function properly ...

I sit here right now in this moment watching the city council meeting and all I can think is WHY is Janet not there ... and why do the council members let the likes of Bill Jackowitcz, Les Spindler and Doug Miller question why anyone would want to come and speak at a meeting ... we all have a vested interest in this city ... when we do decided to attend a meeting we are subject to the "Legion of Doom" questioning who we are and why do we feel as though we have the right to come to their meeting and speak ... they keep anyone who does not fall into their line of thinking out ... Just like DD they don't allow anyone who disagrees to post they harrass people who they think may not agree from speaking ... It's crazy ... so this council plays to a select few ... they do not care about what anyone else thinks ... they touted themselves as the "Super Majority" that was going to be the savior of this city ... well then why are we in the situation that we are in currently ... why do they not take the responsibility that is a shared responsibility ... it's not all their fault ... it's not all the Mayor's fault but collectively together they are all equally at fault ... because they refuse to work together ... this nonsense has got to stop ... we all work with people we don't like ... but we work with them because that is our job ... so they don't like each other ... Who cares ... get over it and move on and get down to the business of bringing Scranton back from the brink of disaster!

I'm gone for a month and it's still the same old, same old.

Hey, Janet Evans -- $hit or get off the pot! Your city needs you to take a Tylenol and get back to work. End of story

Hooray!  Evans and company managed to get the recovery plan tax increase lowered from 79% to 81%!  Hooray! 

Oh wait, my math skills tell me that council pitching in with the mayor somehow raised the tax increase.  Thank God they took a hard line stance.............

78%, 81%, it really makes no difference now.  The city is talking about borrowing money from hedge funds.  The interest will be astronomical.  Janet and company is planning to do the same thing Jimmy Connors did.  Risk everything to forestall an inevitable huge tax increase (or banruptcy).
