For someone that is supposedly concerned with the overstretched city budget, for Janet to be calling on people to sue the city is despicable.  And its all because of her hated for the mayor and because of her smoking habit.  I'm nto a fan of the mayor, but I won't disagree with everything he does just to disagree.  Even though overall I think he's plunging us into enormous debt and neglecting crime, I will agree with him at times, and the smoking ban is one thing I will applaud the mayor for.  Also, Janet just wants to protect her own dirty habit.

Just because I think the mayor is doing a lousy job, does not mean I have to be a "Jan Fan", as implied by the DD crew.  I find her to be a condescending vindictive know-it-all.  I haven't watched a council meeting since I cancelled my cable a few years ago, and its for the better, because her soapbox tirades are like nails on a chalkboard and seem to go on forever.

It really is a shame and that Janet Evans is entrusted with teaching our youth.  I'm glad I live in West Side, and my kids won't have the "honor" of being a captive audience to one of her condescending soapbox tirades.

RE: Janet's e-mail

I'll put this into perspective for you, Bomber, since you're too stupid to do it for yourself. The Smoking Ban will be challenged by city lawyers representing a certain city business, unknown to me at this time. The city will, of course, have to hire lawyers to fight the case. Over the span of five years, they will agree to repeatedly disagree on everything. The Smoking Ban will be defeated in the end, and it will only cost the city 2.5 million in legal fees to reverse something that was never legal to begin with. In hindsight, Sherry Fanucci will be the ass of the decade, but by that time she will be long out of the political arena, enjoying her lifetime guarantee of sucking off the taxpayer's dime in exchange for the flagrant participation in the corruption of this adiminstration. The right thing to do here is to challenge it before this whole play hits the judicial stage, like so many others have done since this disgraceful excuse for a man took office as mayor.

For the record, Janet Evans is not the queen of the haters. She, if anything, is the Queen in the eyes of many taxpayers who see she is the only elected official who is not bought and sold by Mellow/DeNaples/Lynett. She gains more respect for being the voice of the taxpayers than anything else, and she will continue to gain respect as the Doherty Administration continues to crumble.

Doherty is a political leper, and he has infected Gatelli. Fanucci and McGoff were no good lepers going in. Courtright is a fencer, undependable. Evans does not suffer from such an infection. The people see that, and the Times couldn't sell it if they spent every last penny trying. The entire population looks at the Times as corrupt, and the people believe exactly the opposite of what is printed in it. The Lynetts are the scourge of our times, the disease that ails us and the true enemy of the people of NE Pa.

Doherty and Gatelli will face the music in due time, and not much further off in the future. These two betraying dogs have already been exposed as the lowlifes that they are, enemies to the people, corrupt thieves in every sense of the word. The political and social consequences for their betrayals approach from many sides. I've said this before and I'll say it again. In the long run, Doherty will be the best thing to ever happen to this city because he educated so many of us on how an adminstration can steal so much in so many different ways. When the dust clears, all avenues of corruption will be blocked by some legislative machinery or another, and there will be in place a way to immediately rid ourselves of any future betrayers like lowlife Judy Gatelli.

Get your act together Bomber, we're sick of having to explain this to you and the likes of stupid people like you who come here. Perhaps it's too much to ask of you to be honest, is it? You don't like the privilege of getting a chance to speak truthfully, is that it? Make that you LAST senseless post, or I shall make it the LAST senseless post for you. You're embarrassing yourself, that's how idiotic that post is."

But of course, the king of frivolous lawsuits is gonna stick up for the queen of mean. Is there any way to find out how much HIS lawsuits have cost the city? You should see all the sheep over at DD crowing about what a hero Jan is Can ya imagine? This is how brainwashed these people are. If anyone else so much as hinted at a lawsuit against council, the sheep would be out of their minds with rage. Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. This city is truly in trouble.
