Seniors, beware. There are some lawyers out there who are targeting seniors in their ads. If for some reason you need an elder law lawyer, make sure you do not pay upfront, as if you are dissatisfied with their work, you will not get your money back. Also, ask what it will cost you for a consultation. Some lawyers charge for their first consultation. Do not pay till you are completely satisfied with the work done. Buyer beware even when it comes to lawyers.

Well, I see DPW reads Sound Off because the comment about the receiver (drain) being low on Nash Road got taken care of within about a day. Well, got taken care of by putting two cones in front of it, which they’ve tried already and that didn’t magically make the receiver (drain) rise because it’s only been broke for about two years. I guess that’s a start.

It is mind-blowing that the same stupid people that keep blaming Bush for reckless spending, see nothing wrong with Obama doing the same thing only way worse, while utilizing very the same congress that Bush had. This is hope for change? Sounds like dumb and dumber to me.

I have an idea to help the city out of the $500,000 shortfall. You see, we can start with the excess sick days that all the city employees have, and like anyone else nowadays, everybody pays for their insurance. While we’re at it, we should add the teachers into that in NT. Right there, we would have a surplus of money.

Last year in July our property assessments went up to 100 percent. If property values have gone down in NY how come our assessments went up? Shouldn’t the assessments have gone down? I’m having a problem figuring that out, could somebody please help?

Toyota did not tell the people right away. They waited till there were lives lost. They waited months for that. Get your facts straight.

It would be really great if the North Tonawanda police could be at some of the stop signs in the Wurlitzer Park area every morning to see how people fail to stop. If they could catch all these people the city would get thousands of dollars.

I would like to known when and what it is going to take for the mayor of the City of Tonawanda to bring revenue into the city. We certainly need it. Is Spaulding down yet? Is there going to be vacant land there? is there something going to be done at Veterans Park? We need to have revenue brought into the city. We need business. We are going to become a ghetto if you don’t bring business here.

Sound Off published Wednesday, Feb. 8
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.
