SOUND OFF: Published March 3, 2010

I can not believe that our three legislators voted to appointed Andrea McNulty to a county position that pays $35,000 plus $15,000 in benefits. Our legislators are creating new positions for people who are politically connected. She deceived the taxpayers of North Tonawanda by claiming to be a NT resident. She was forced to resign from her previous position but was rewarded with a $50,000-a-year position at the county that was not even advertised as an open position. I will never again vote for a Republican.

When are the anti- Walmart people going to give up? We need someplace to shop in NT. All these silly lawsuits are getting ridiculous. And the sad part of all of this is that it's a "do as I say and not as I do" situation. I do not remember any of the pizzerias or restaurants filing suit against a certain grocery store for opening up a cafe in their store. It undersells every restaurant in the Twin Cities. What is with this double standard? He allows a dollar store to open next to his store that undersells him on milk, bread and all kinds of grocery items, he has an Aldi right down the road from his store and they also undersell him. Don't remember any lawsuits trying to stop them from opening.

I am offended by the caption under the fish fry on the first page of Feb. 20 paper. You make it seem like only Catholics observe the Holy Season. That is differently not true.

Mr. Budwey, Mr. Seeger, and Ms. Kern; it’s time to step aside and allow progress to take place in North Tonawanda. You’re concerned about lost revenue from the Bluebird Drive sale but yet, you are costing us thousands of dollars in lost revenue from Walmart taxes, and lawsuits that you continue losing. Taxpayers are unaware that they are footing the bill for these lost lawsuits. If you care anything about our community, then let it be. The only one that is making out like a bandit is Mr. Seeger. He’s laughing all the way to the bank with our money.
