I found especially good deals the closer to Christmas it got. Most places had free shipping, too. I think people are crazy to drive up towards Consumer Square at that time of year anyway. (Crowds of people make me itch...  ) |

The US Post office loves to get rid of individual postal place names. Tried that down here a number of years ago and people ganged up on local congressmen. It worked. To date, we've lost very few names and small post offices. Inefficient, maybe, but with postage costs so high, people ask why can't the money be spent on customer convenience instead of USPS convenience.
You'll get nowhere, however, if you're one of only a few who care. Dwellers in bedroom communities usually don't care that much. (I have no idea what your community is like.) In this area, history is very important to most people, and they are used to having to defend it against bureaucratic bozo's who think history is how long they've lived in their apartment on the Beltway.

So now that 2 inept blowhards {Destito & Griffo} are against the sales tax increase, we're looking at a 20% tax hike. Great. Let's see how many properties are abandoned & taken off the tax rolls because of the added property tax burden. Off course, the genuises never thought of that. And who, as County Executive raised the sales tax to over 9% to balance his budget? Griffo. With Destito's blessing. Now Roefaro asks for a small increase & it's bad for business. It's a joke just listening to these people. They think no one has a memory.

Most people don't have long term memories when it comes to history. Why do you think they stay in office for so long? It's not because they actually do a good job executing their duties. The electorate is too stupid to pay attention and fall for dumb things like the empire aero debacle. To the electorate, these loonies created jobs but it was not their fault for the end result.
You, my friend, are in a small minority of voters who pay attention and remember. It's frustrating, but unfortunately, not enough voters even care to look beyond the paper headlines to make a difference.

I have no idea what motivates the voters of Utica. Year after year clowns such as Zecca (who ran unopposed) and Scalise keep getting re-elected while at the same time people are screaming that taxes and fees are going up. The streets of Utica are now more than goat paths, yet officials boast how much they are spending to repair them, buildings and businesses are shuttered weekly because taxes and lack of business is driving them out or away. The Council rubber stampos pay increases, promotions, and staff additions while bellowing that cuts must be made. The insanity of increased taxation must stop. The destitute people of Utica are not getting the substantial raises and promotions that our civic leaders are garnering. Its unaffordable - City of Utica property taxes will have risen over 70 percent in the past two administrations if this increase takes place and that 70% does not include County or School District tax increases. There is nothing left to have taken or stolen from our pockets - yet Scalise and her cohorts claim that the Mayor has a tight budget and they will support it.

The mayor said it is now up to the Common Council to whittle that 20% figure down.
