Did He or Didn't He?

Did Congel pay COMIDA in 2010? I still don't know. I know the Town of Irondequoit and the EICSD were paid by COMIDA - but the Monroe County Real Property Tax Portal still shows his 2010 payment as delinquent, and there are new totals for 2011 that are due the end of January (I think). There are still no payments listed under "Payment History" for 2010 - all other years are listed.

Check it out for yourself, below:

092.05-1-85.111
092.05-85.2
092.05-1-87.1
092.05-1-20
092.05-1-84
092.05-1-18
092.05-1-17
092.05-1-19
092.05-1-16
092.05-1-9

Also, and I find this very interesting, the totals due (that shows delinquent - green check) for 2010 are higher than before...which means penalties and fees are being added to those totals. If he paid COMIDA - then the total wouldn't be going up....riiiight?

Then & Now

Andrew Jackson gets called a jackass and he uses it for the symbol of the Democratic Party - Steve Eckel gets called a jackass and he demands an apology.

Link.





Look, Steve - I get called a C**T for putting my opinions up on a blog. Don't sweat it. Sticks and stones, man. Dan should apologize, because it's the right thing to do, and we need to set an example for the children all over the world - and you have my permission to call Dan a poopy-face-tomato-nose at the next meeting and we'll call it even, ok?

Then.....maybe THEN we can get back to the business of running the county? Maybe?

Sound like a good idea?

What's this? Fun?!?! Actual Fun?!?!

Looks like the Sea Breeze FD and neighborhood peeps got it right and had some fun to celebrate a sometimes forgotten area of Irondequoit during the cold winter months.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Sea Breeze area - my great grandparents lived on Brad Street in the early 1900's, and my grandmother went to Durand Eastman School when it was built in 1914 (she was born in 1907 and my great aunt in 1911), and our family has many great memories of time spent there growing up. Simpler times I guess - but even when I was a kid many moons ago, parades were a big thing. You came out and stood along the sidelines, waving to the people passing by....waving your little flag or whatever in celebration. Treats were thrown from the people in the procession, and the kids all scrambled to get their share. Celebrating your neighborhood, or town, or country at a parade is fun. Even in winter.

This & That

"It's Legal, So It's Ethical." ~ Joe Morelle

Say what?



It was so ethical that Joe voted to change the law for anyone hired/elected after 1995 - because - we always change laws that are ethical.....riiiiiiight? Oy. Way to tap-dance around those questions!
Even NYC Mayor Bloomberg called it "the ultimate scam" - it's THAT ethical.

At least Gantt was just blunt and honest and basically told Rachel Barnhart that he "Doesn't talk to you." (Meaning white reporters named Rachel Barnhart, apparently.) I can appreciate the honesty, even though I think it's wrong to collect retirement and still "work" at the same job and collect a salary on top of it - (in quotation marks because Gantt failed to show up for 23 out of 84 session days last session.....so....uh....yeah..."work".)
