Endwellian

Wow. This is eye opening. You're not going to see this on the TV news or pressconnects. Great job, BCVoice. I think it's a combination. I don't have faith in Lourdes or UHS, not for any serious illness. Broome probably wasn't prepared, then again.. when are we prepared for anything? But I also think the number of cases should be a lot higher. Broome is either denying tests to those who really need testing, or is under reporting the number of cases. That would bring the percentage down a little, but still...10% is incredibly high compared to the other counties.

Will our water and sewer bills be on time? The town can't provide essential services, but I'm sure the mailing of the bills will be on time.

Did anyone else in ToU have extremely early garbage collection this week? I'm in Endwell, off of Hooper My garbage is collected at the same time (within a half hour) every week. This week they were two hours early. I like to put out one last bag the morning of collection. I didn't get that chance this week. Materese or someone needs to explain in detail to us what is going on.

DPW workers are considered essential. So what are these employees doing instead of recycling and yard waste pick up?

In times like these, local governments should be stepping up, doing more to help residents during these difficult times. But not in the Town of Union, we are losing services. This is absolutely unacceptable.

That's exactly right, Property & Casualty. Our taxes should be cut since the town is scaling back on services. As I've stated, I'm working from home. My wife is working from home 50% of the time, and we have children. In just the last week, we put out twice the bags of garbage and twice the amount of recycling as we normally do, because we are eating all our meals at home.

Rick Materese doesn't have an opponent in the 2020 election. If he did he would make the ToU employees step up and provide more services, especially with people eating all meals at home.

This is total BS. With more people home they will be producing more items for recycling collection.

We need John Solak to challenge that do-nothing Donna Lupardo. She just collects a pay check. She’s done nothing for this area. I’m a democrat and I can’t stand her. The final straw was when I found out she was the co-sponsor of the new bail law that basically releases everyone who’s been arrested, except on high level felonies. Please John, run!

That’s garbage. I can see stopping after work at a grocery store, like someone said above, but a political fundraiser? That is not ok.

Too bad he isn’t running against Lupardo! She NEEDS TO GO! She voted for this bullshit law that releases these violent scumbags back onto the street.

They’re real and they’re spectacular.

John Solak reported Josenblatt was involved in an accident in a brand new WBNG vehicle. Was he breathalyzed after the accident?

No wonder WBNG was biased in their coverage of the District Attorney’s race. Did WBNG ever disclose one of their senior reporters was in a relationship with Christine Battisti’s sister?

Just drove from Endwell to Binghamton. It took me 45 minutes. Roads were horrible from Endwell all the way through Binghamton. If you don’t have to work, stay home. If you have a reasonable boss, they shouldn’t expect you at work today.
