Endwellian

Just walked in the door from work and caught the end of a story on WBNG. Anyone see it? Basically following the Broome County data breach, County Executive Jason Garnar sent letters to families of deceased individuals, stating their deceased loved ones' personal information may have been hacked. The problem is...the people are very much alive. The woman interviewed on WBNG said she received a letter saying her 5 year old son was deceased. What a disgusting oversight. How can this happen?

Has this person had an appetite to eat, since the “mishap”? If nothing happens in a few days, I assume they need a medical intervention.

Whitney Point made the list at #50, and Binghamton became more poor, moving from #21 to #19. #19 Binghamton, city (Broome County) Median household income: $31,103 Family median: $45,518 Non-family median: $21,996 Total households: 19,974 Previous rank: #21 #50 Whitney Point, village (Broome County) Median household income: $34,318 Family median: $55,563 Non-family median: $25,398 Total households: 390 Previous rank: unranked https://expo.syracuse.com/news/g66l-2019/07/9f4bd6a9bc254/these-are-the-50-poorest-cities-and-villages-in-upstate-ny-ranked.html

In a primary I can't vote for Cornwell but I will vote for him in the general election. Going back 20 years, he's one of the few government officials who actually did anything and isn't completely phony.

If Battisti wins, it's a dark day for Broome County.

I just don't know why the Butlers think they have any credibility left in this community. But I guess if you're a police officer who steals TVs, or wife of a police officer who constantly cheats on her husband, you're not exactly in tune with reality.

Yes that is what I meant.

I would vote for Rich David over Garnar. But with the rumors he’s running for Congress: I’d vote David over Brindisi in November, but in a primary I would happily vote Steve Cornwell over David. And George Phillips is a nice man, but he’s out of this race.

Someone who knows what's going on here, please correct me. Following this thread, my understanding is: There was a major hack of Broome County, which is comprised of two major issues? First, there may be 10,000 local residents who's personal data was stolen. Second, $40-60k in employee salaries was stolen.And Broome County notified some of those affected, but not everyone? Regardless... this is a disaster. I'm a Democrat, but locally I usually vote Republican. I did vote for Garnar. But I need to know, what steps did the county taken prior to the hack, to prevent such attacks. And, what has the county done since the attack to make it right? These attacks happen all over the country. But if Garnar did know since January, and some one those impacted still don't know, Garnar needs to go 100%.

Sounds like a scam, just like the BC Jets. Run by the same family.

Joe Zikuski is the reason I will not support Rich David when he runs for Broome County Executive.

Akshar is a dangerous sexual predator. Look at his past (that we know of). All women he has power over.

Pretty good, I would go back. Went last weekend, and it was very crowded as you would imagine. Got plain pizza and others in my family got sandwiches.

Listen to the scanner, there are 5-10 overdoses a day. There is no way 432 is accurate for 8 months. I think it's 4 or 5 times higher than that.
