Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm pretty sure that's when the BPA failed to sign a contract. Wonder if that had anything to do with it? Didn't the contract expired under Bucci? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Didn't the contract expired under Bucci? Yes, with only 30 days or so left in his term. Ryan left the contract unsigned for more than four years and still has not repaid the cops their back pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I wasn't certain if there was a conflict in negotiations that started under Bucci. Thank you for supplying the information that verified my suspicions. Do you know if there was a budget passed for 2006 when Ryan came into office? I would guess that if there was, that would have severely limited Ryan's ability to do much negotiation in 2006. I seem to remember reading that in 2007 or 2008 that some officers also tried to form a new union. Do you know if that caused a delay in negotiations? I am also having some trouble figuring out why a lack of a contract would cause more crimes to be committed. Are you saying that the police officers purposely neglected their duties and allowed criminals to have free reign? As a friend of many officers in and around the area, if that is what you were trying to claim, I humbly disagree. If that wasn't your point, then what bearing does it have on the current conversation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if they are store clerks, police officers or CEOs for IBM. If you are truly, "a friend of many officers in and around the area", ask them their honest opinion of Matthew T. Ryan, a guy they have had to arrest and restrain numerous times in the past. Ask a guy like Officier Henderson who dispatched two patrol cars to Ryan's house during a 911 call by Ryan's tenant because the officer feared for the tenant's safety. Ask one of Ryan's former police chiefs who calls him a punk and who beat him up in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that even mean? Who should be held accountable for what? Police? Criminals? I guess if you catch the criminals and try them and convict them they are held accountable.

I guess if you catch the criminals and try them and convict them they are held accountable. What are you talking about? The claim was that the police weren't doing their job because they were upset with someone else. If that is true, they can make any excuse they want and blame who they want. The way I was raised though, is that people are responsible for their own actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Some refuse to admit things are much worse in the City of Binghamton than there were five years ago and want to use as an excuse that things in the northeast in general have gotten worse. That really is not the case in this area, things have gotten better in many places. Where they have gotten worse they did so by 5% or so. In the City of Binghamton things have gotten 40% to 60% worse depending upon how you want to count them. Some find it acceptable that the City if Binghamton shoot for the bottom of the barrel and not the top of the list... Here are other NYS towns and a few out of states places. Binghamton is as bad as the worse and nowhere near the best. Even the worse have seen improvement in most cases from 2005 to 2009 but not Binghamton. TOWN POPULATION 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Auburn 28,574 366.2 307 Binghamton 47,380 309.7 353.4 354.8 401.6 390.7 Cicero 27,900 95.1 102.8 Clarkstown 82,082 138.7 135.1 Clay 58,805 44.4 48. 3 Cortland 19,000 272.7 222.8 Elmira 30,000 382 272 Endicott 13,000 316.5 315.8 Endwell 11,706 na na na na na Ithaca 29,200 233.5 207.3 219.9 233.6 Johnson City 15,500 313 393.8 Plattsburgh 18,816 186.4 183.2 Rochester 219,700 647.8 711.8 643.7 623.7 567.5 Rome 34,950 135.5 128.2 Union 56,298 na na na na na na Utica 60,651 369.7 434.2 Vestal 26,500 117.6 94.7 Watertown 26,700 417.4 347.4 Burlington, VT 38,889 311.8 285.9 Concord, NH 40,687 165.5 203 Nashau, NH 86,600 168.1 195.2 Bristol, CT 60,062 203.2 183.2 City-data.com crime index (higher means more crime, U.S. average = 319.2)[/i] Here are numbers for Broome County and Elmira, note how only JC is as bad as the City of Binghamton. Note how crime went down in Elmira, Endicott and Vestal, they saw DECREASES IN CRIME from 2005 to 2009. Interestingly Mayor Matthew T. Ryan never mentioned that when he tried to take credit for the metropolitan area's higher ranking....Sorry, no numbers for Endwell or Town of Union as a whole: TOWN POPULATION 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Binghamton 47,380 309.7 353.4 354.8 401.6 390.7 Elmira 30,000 382 272 Endicott 13,000 316.5 315.8 Endwell 11,706 Johnson City 15,500 313 393.8 Vestal 26,500 117.6 94.7 The City of Binghamton and its mayor like to compare themselves to Burlington, VT. You have a long way to go Mr. Mayor before you have as little crime as they do in Burlington: TOWN POPULATION 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Binghamton 47,380 309.7 353.4 354.8 401.6 390.7 Burlington, VT 38,889 311.8 285.9 This silly publication once wanted to compare the City of Binghamton to Clay, NY when Clay dissolved its police force. Let's compare Clay's crime rates to the City of Binghamton's: TOWN POPULATION 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Binghamton 47,380 309.7 353.4 354.8 401.6 390.7 Clay 58,805 44.4 48.3 So Binghamton has about 9 times the crime of Clay, which is a bigger city...... Why even Rochester, which we know has a lot of crime and is much bigger than the City of Binghamton has seen crime go down from 2005 to 2009 but not Binghamton...: TOWN POPULATION 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Rochester 219,700 647.8 711.8 643.7 623.7 567.5 People complain Ithaca has seen crime increase but in fact it has remain steady: TOWN POPULATION 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ithaca 29,200 233.5 207.3 219.9 233.6 So in conclusion, almost any way you look at it, crime is increasing in the City of Binghamton much faster than it is almost anywhere else. Now, Ryan apologists will no doubt find examples where things are worse. Is that really what we want? Do we want to be among the worse? Is that our objective? I hope not.

Guest colber Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Come to Baltimore and live down here for a week and then complain how many "problems" Binghamton has. I grew up there and I do concur, it is getting worse and worse by the day. Are we supposed to work at EIT? There is no future up there for educated youth. Each night on the Baltimore local news there are feature stories entailing the shootings, murders, rapes, etc from the previous night. You do not know crime. Quit whining! Small town, small minds!
