Our beloved governor talking about the fiscal crisis of our state, stating it’s dangerous for the future of our state. The need for change must, I repeat must, change at the top. This is the same governor who gave his staff raises earlier in the year and has increased the size of his staff.

They must stop the spending, starting at the top with the governor, then with all the legislators and all the people in power.

I wanted to say thank you to whoever it was that burglarized my car late Saturday night and stole my tools, amongst other things. Now thanks to you I need to come up with hundreds of dollars I don't have to replace the tools before I can work to make more money to feed my family and buy Christmas presents. We need to unite as a community and put the crime in North Tonawanda to sleep once and for all.

Winter will soon be upon us. This is a note to all the self-centered, ignorant people who can never find the time to brush off their car windows and lights. Just remember, there is always time to fill out the accident report.
