The next City of Tonawanda common council meeting is Oct. 6, not Sept. 29. The council meets the first and third Tuesday of the month at 7p.m. A previous caller was mistaken when to speak to Colleen Perkins at a meeting.

Can the Tonawanda News please profile both candidates for mayor in North Tonawanda? I know what Mr.Soos has done but I really don’t know anything about the other guy.

I have heard that the president wants to fine anyone who doesn’t have health insurance $3,500. I have a wife who can’t get on my health insurance because I’m on Encompass 65. There’s no way she could pay $3,500 and she can’t afford health insurance. We’re barely getting along as it is with getting her meds and sometimes she can’t get them all.

Rick Davis should look at the neighborhood around Mullen School. There are shared lawns for political signs there, too. It’s common practice, where you have mixed parties and mixed homes. It happens a lot.

•••

Who gives permission for parking in the city parking lot behind the Golden H Center? There’s been a motor home there for more than a month. Who gets special privileges without getting a ticket? I had a friend who visited and they got a ticket.

•••

I’d like to see the City of Tonawanda have a real nice historical society building, like in NT.

I think the North Tonawanda school district should look into requiring school uniforms. I think if the school board members walked around the high school and saw how some of these students dress they’d be appalled, to say the least. No school dress code is being enforced. They should consider the pros and cons of bringing back school uniforms.

LEFFLER: Don’t wait to be productive

Bob Confer, looks like you did get a little help, regarding your unexpected sights in Niagara. Personally I don’t feel imperiled by bobcats, bears and other wild animals. But I am afraid of you and opinions.
