SOUND OFF: Published Sept. 30

I too get sick and tired of seeing other places get money, but the City of Tonawanda never gets anything. I’m sure if someone left some money on the steps of City Hall it would end up getting lost anyway.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who thought that NT was looking like the slums with all the garbage that people are putting out to the curb long before the scheduled pickup. Look, people — it’s simple. The first Sunday of each month is when you should put the bulk garbage out. Only during that first week of the month will it be picked up. I’ve seen toilets, chairs, TVs, and other things sit out there for weeks. Come on NT, lets start fining people for putting stuff out at the wrong time. And what about the people who don’t use their garbage totes and insist on putting bags out instead? I thought it was a requirement to use the totes. If everyone followed the rules, the streets would look a lot cleaner.

Something needs to be done about these out-of-control senior citizens rolling around town on their powered chairs. Riding around in gangs, not moving for pedestrians and impeding traffic. I even witnessed them drag racing near Rainbow Rink! Why aren’t their children stepping in and taking control of them? It’s only a matter of time before a tragedy will happen.
