This morning and afternoon, Town Hall was bustling, a senior was on the corner holding a neon sign that said "VOTE NO to $18,000 a month lease!", there was a long line to get in and vote.
It was great to see this! No matter what way you are voting, the scene of residents having a voice and making the decisions by a vote is a wonderful thing to witness.
I hope it's this busy when November rolls around!
Great turnout so far, Irondequoit!
I've been watching the propaganda from the Supervisor on the news, all channels, and one particular channel played the "visual sway" (is what I call it) game.
They take the crappiest shot of one thing, and the nicest, most visually appealing shot of another thing to "sway" your opinion.
Take, for instance, the recent interview with the supervisor at King$ Pork.
They show the long, stretching-for-miles it seems, green awning side of the building on a bright sunny day, making you think that this is where the seniors are going to be moving to.
Only, it's not a shot of the possible new senior side of King$ Pork. It's the MCC Staff side.
Then, they show you a sweeping shot of the pot holed, ratty looking parking lot with Pinegrove in the background. One lonely car in the parking lot. Dreary day.
That's "Visual Sway", and advertisers have been doing it for decades to you in their commercials.
Here are the screen shots of the video to show you.

Pinegrove Parking Lot:
Oh, just so ya know......the Pinegrove parking lot repaving is covered under CDBG, according to Page 2 of the 2009 Budget Recreation Center Analysis.
But they'd rather give that money to out of state landlords in MA.
Here's the entrance for the seniors at King$ Pork:
Here's the backside (and it is a backside) of King$ Pork with the scenic views that our seniors will look upon every day.
Isn't that delightful?
