You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
A ceremony to celebrate the wasting of money a Department doesn't have. No one is better at this than Stoffa.
ReplyDeleteWill the staff be celebrating in another year as they are laid off to pay for this monument to inefficiency and ego.
Millions wasted for a building the county doesn't need. Sad..Like the swaption, it needs to be stopped as soon as possible not matter what the cost. It only gets worse as time passes. Is anyone on council going to put the brakes on this? Hopefully, they'll include a giant sign to hang on the building," Millions of Taxpayer dollars died here" Shot by John " Swaption" Stoffa" , lol
ReplyDeleteif they build a fence around it wacko jimmy gregory will climb it
ReplyDeletelol..My guess uncle moron is that he'll toss your cowardly ass over it, lol
ReplyDeleteIt's appalling to see politicians show up at wasteful groundbreakings to celebrate wasting taxpayer dollars. They should all choke on their donuts and have not a single bystander willing to perform Heimlich Maneuvers on their worthless bodies. I wish each of them a costly personal tragedy to wipe the smiles off their faces and force them to walk a mile in the shoes of those who are suffering through trying to pay their wasteful taxes.
ReplyDeleteIt is not a waste of Taxpayer Dollars, it is the centralized human services building and the STOPPING of wasteful spending on two old run down buildings that they own.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you wrap your small brain around that Gregory? You are such a Dusche Bag!
I'm not Jim Gregory - whoever the hell that is. And only a true douchebag would attempt to use the term with no clue of its spelling. You sir are a douchebag and a dumb one at that.
ReplyDeleteThe county doesn't maintain any property properly and then simply disposes what they neglected and builds anew with taxpayer dollars. This building will be similarly neglected and douchbags like you will squeal for more money to build the next one. You're like a little thieving crack addict. Your spelling idiotic spelling betrays this as well. Now, stop masturbating to the though of this Jim Gregory character. Between you and the Cleveland guy, it's just too much.
jg has a brain? have pity on him - he should be on the receiving end of services. the boy represents the north end of a south bound mule

ReplyDeletePlease enlighten us, not about the jg guy you are yelling at but with the facts and figures of what you are saying. Please.

ReplyDeleteBy the way, 7:55, you arent JIm, but whoever you are, I'm sure he likes you even if he doesn't know you..He tends to like smart people..Sorry Bernie!
ReplyDelete"They should all choke on their donuts and have not a single bystander willing to perform Heimlich Maneuvers on their worthless bodies."
ReplyDeleteDeath wishes are a specialty of Tricia MezzzaKKKappa. The fact that she and Gregory are both on the same side is enough for me.
Since Tom Foolery, who is anonymous, has participated in personal attacks at me on other blogs, his comments are not welcome here and will be deleted.
ReplyDeleteThe troughfeeders ball!

This is a boondoggle that will have a swaption-type legacy. It's not $186,000 parking spaces built with debt. It's far worse.
ReplyDeleteI guess the question for county council is ,"Did you have your own engineer give you a report on the Wolf and Bechtel buildings, or did you get all your information through Ken Mohr sources"? If you allowed this multimillion dollar project to proceed purely on the word of the Administration, you are no more than a part of the Administration and not a separate branch of government.
ReplyDeleteThere are many people who doubt the conditions at Wolf or Bechtel are as extreme or expensive as the Administration has pitched but you have no way to know without an independent opinion.
Also this Administration wanted to buy a building in an Industrial park in Mr. Stoffa's first year and was held back by conscientious council. Now in his eighth year, his "expert study" concludes the same thing should be done. Doesn't that bother to concern any of you? Does it even matter that the building won't be done until Stoffa is gone and the two most likely men to be county executive both think this is a terrible idea?
The really sad thing about all of this is and the experienced Human Services staff will tell you that their programs are being starved and things are only getting worse.
The "gift" you are giving them is a million dollar a year building and charging them an additional 2.5% increase every year thereafter to sit in.
If you showed as much concern over the state of the Departments' Services as you have this shiny new building, thing should be a great deal better.
This I something to celebrate for anyone who really cares about the needs of the community and how to meet those needs.

The real question is why you think you can stop a ship that has already sailed. Council voted for this, 8-1. And just about every department head publicly supported it, ans well as rank-and-file workers.
ReplyDeleteDepartment heads do as they are told. What do they care, they sit in new offices and make six figures were ever they are and whatever the budget. A few young an inexperienced people think this is great because they don't understand funding.
ReplyDeleteMost rank and file employees do not agree with this project and know the consequences of this building as it relates to staff and services. We just are not dumb enough to say anything publically because we know how that works. If we are cutting back and selling off most of our services now, what will this promote?
We know the answer. Unfortunately are lawmakers do not or don't care.
I have deleted a comment from Tricia MezzaKKKappa, linking to her blog. If he thinks that ruling is "delicious," she obviously hasn't read it and will find out the hard way.
ReplyDelete5:07, You are a human services caseworker who doesn't know the difference between "our" and "are." I feel sorry for your clients.
ReplyDeleteBernie, the grammar police called they want their badge back.
ReplyDeleteanon 5:07, you disagree with Bernie's world view, so you must be both wrong an defective.
ReplyDeleteNorthampton County and Ken Mohr beeen verdy, verdy good, to me!
