I hope this spring the Town of Tonawanda fixes Nash Road.

I see in the newspaper that Mayor Ortt is deciding to freeze and not do any reassessments for three years to save the taxpayers of NT money. What a joke. They don’t want our taxes to go down, they don’t want our assessments to go down. This is a ploy that American politicians of NT are doing to keep our taxes high.

It is not surprising that there are bullies in the Tonawanda public schools. Look at the parents and how they conduct their affairs when they become angry at other people. Do they sit down reasonably and discuss things? No. They threaten, they yell and sometimes they use physical violence. The children see this and think that it is a model for their own department. Don’t be surprised at bullies. Look in the mirror and see where they learned this behavior.

I’d like to thank a person who lives on Orchard Place for continuously going down the street and cleaning off the fire hydrants. He is the only one who does it.

I live in the area of Niagara Falls Boulevard and Ruie Road. I would like to say kudos to two gentlemen who are absolutely wonderful in our neighborhood. The one gentlemen rides his ATV with a plow on the front and keeps our street’s sidewalks very clear. The other gentlemen took the time to help me plow out my driveway up to my car. They are doing a wonderful thing, and people like me really appreciate what they do.

I am so glad Gov. Paterson is stepping down from running. Hope we get someone in there who is going to do a lot better than he did.

I believe that we have heard enough about Walmart from Mr. Budwey. I hope the city and lawyers understand that. People want the building to go up and we're really tired about the silliness.

If you can afford a $100,000 house, you can hire someone to shovel your walkway if you won’t do it yourself.

I see advertisements on television from the N.Y. State Department of Health advising us not to spread the swine flu virus. This is the most overrated disease in the history of mankind. Our tax dollars are being wasted on this advertising.

Can someone please explain why the City of Tonawanda is paying city plow workers to come down the street scraping the bare road? This is a waste of our money.

My son had a problem with bullying at the Tonawanda Middle School Last year. I told my son that bullies are only good in a group. So what did he do? He waited until the last day of school and beat up one of the bullies. No problems this year. Hey, the school wouldn’t handle it.
