Latest Victim....

....of Bersin Properties.

Turbovac, (I think the company has something to do with parking lots), filed a mechanic's lien against Bersin Properties on January 11th, 2012.  Congel owes them $38,343.00.

Rochester Business Journal listed it in "The Record" section of their online news site on February 10th, 2012.  (Go to RBJ's archive, and select "The Record" from the drop down menu in the window, and pick your dates and hit "search".  Click on the links you want to read.  You might have to log in or create an account.  It's free.)

Here's An Opinion

It's a guest essay in the opinion section of the online D&C website.

There are a couple of facts in there.

Like, the quote from the Supervisor about Congel doing something.....ANYthing...at Medley.

"It should get going this year if all the stars align. It will be fabulous for Irondequoit"

I think the planets are aligning with the center of the galaxy this year....I don't know about stars....but I'm not so confident that he'll do something before we all die on December 21st, 2012!

The other fact is this quote from the Supervisor about getting a lot of comments about the libraries.

" she gets an awful lot of pressure from residents to consolidate Irondequoit's library branches."

The writer asks that she substantiate these requests.

It is a fact that this guest essay appeared on the D&C's website on February 1st, 2012 - but it is now an opinion that this letter appeared there today because I wrote about it on the blog.

If you want to know if it is a fact that this letter appeared on the D&C website today, please call the library at (585) 336-6060 or (585) 336-6062 to get the facts.

Thank you.
