— — Yes, you’re right. The North Tonawanda city attorney should have reviewed the contract with Calgon and found the problems. But the problem is there is a great lack of legal competence in that office. I’ve been there several times on different matters and if you find an attorney even in the office for work you are in shock.

It’s a shame when you have to live next to people who won’t repair or maintain their property out of sheer laziness. Well, I got news for you. If your termites infest my property, I will sue you for my damages. So you should get off your lazy backsides and take care of your problem.

Regarding the Canal Fest July 20 stabbing, get rid of the goofy rides. Just have kiddie rides and you won’t have teenaged problems on the Tonawanda side.

I haven’t been to Canal Fest for I don’t know how long. I went when it first started and I said I will never go again. It’s too crowded, kids riding in their bikes who don’t move. They stand in front of you. They are very rude and have no manners. And it’s ridiculous. With this incident that happened Tuesday, I think they should have an age limit. If you are not accompanied by an adult, you’re not allowed there.

Oh, to all you people who are trying to make the average person understand about the retirement about city employees and school employments, we know it’s a bunch of bull. We know what they do: they get their overtime and use it and use it and use it until they are going to retire. And then we have to pay them probably almost more than they are making during the year when they work. We are paying more taxes in New York state than anywhere else around. Something has to be done.

OUR VIEW: Now who’s waging class warfare?
It was absurd for Republicans to cast President Obama’s call for a slightly higher income tax rate on the wealthiest Americans as class warfare.

There is no way the United States can afford a care package like Obamacare. This man has been a failure in everything he has done.

TUCKER: Another side of the SPCA
With all the negative news about the SPCA of Niagara County, it seems a good time to weigh-in about the wonderful SPCA Serving Erie County.

NT taxpayers beware: The district is facing a $1.5 million shortfall this year. Yet the district continues to have tech and music teachers with only 4 students per class while the academic classes continue to have 30 to 32 students per class. Where are the district’s priorities? Why are we teaching private vocal lessons to only a few?

ADAMCZYK: The return of The Slash
A recent column in this space about the myriad effects of personal technology (smartphones si, singing toothbrushes no) mentioned the curse of lifelong learning, that carousel of constant vocational training and retraining forced by a life on a globe spinning faster and flattening faster than society can cope, and that’s where the commentators keyed this in this week’s virtual mailbag.

Keppeler: Give me shelter
I hate the cold.
Most winter days in the Tonawanda News newsroom, I’m sitting here wearing my coat. (I’m doing it right now, as a matter of fact.)

Given all the “findings” reported at the Niagara County SPCA, it’s hard to understand why a third party has not been appointed to audit and review the status of the Erie County SPCA. According to several reports, both agencies work closely together on a regular basis. I think it is time the Erie County SPCA's practices and procedures be investigated as well. Based on encounters family members and I have had with the Erie County SPCA, I certainly hope they treat their animals better than they treat the people who come through their doors.

OUR VIEW: SPCA off to good start
We were pleased to see members of the SPCA of Niagara’s board of directors take swift action and fire Executive Director John Faso on Monday.

DUVALL: To the moon, Newt!
Normally I would jump at the chance to make fun of Newt Gingrich for saying something zany like how he plans to build American colonies on the moon.

Boy, that's too bad about what happened to Vito's sign. I hope they throw the book at that guy! Just like that other restaurant in Budwey Plaza. The scene they made in front of everyone. They did nothing but embarrass themselves. If you don't know how to run your business properly, don't go blaming everyone else!
