Guest Too hot to print Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I got this from the "Letters" editor of The Press & Sun-Bulletin last week. So far the letter has not run. Somebody is blocking it, eventhough somebody else approved it: From: dvandokk@binghamt.gannett.com To: Ed not allowed Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:58:15 -0400 Subject: confirm letter please Dear Mr. not allowed, Our editor would like to print the letter below. Please reply with your city of residence for printing, and to give us permission for publication. Thank you, WE DON’T USE GREATER BINGHAMTON AS AN ADDRESS (This makes me laugh!!! Take a look at your daily newspaper. What does it say on the front page? It says they are based in "Greater Binghamton"! It's good enough for them but not for readers. Why doesn't The Press & Sun-Bulletin state they are only located in Vestal and Johnson City?)WHERE DOES HE LIVE? Ed not allowed Greater Binghamton, NY To the Editor, It has been over 100 days since the City of Binghamton signed a sales contract with Nexus Hospitality of Pennsylvania for the Binghamton Regency Hotel. Both the 60-day and the 90-day extensions of the contract have come and gone. Since October of 2007 Mayor Matthew T. Ryan has been saying the sale will happen “soon”. So far the City has not been paid by Nexus. Every day it loses money on the hotel through a $5,000 a month management fee, lost taxes, lost revenue from water and sewage, high utility costs, salaries, not to mention servicing a debt of some $5 million or so. Meanwhile we are told Ronak Development, a New York-based company, says it is ready to buy the hotel immediately fro more money. How long will the mayor and City Council hold the hotel for an out-of-state company? Will the mayor tell us, in the spirit of the transparency he promises, how much the city is losing on the hotel? Why won’t they take the other offer on the table? Business is business. How much longer will Mayor Ryan do nothing?

Their policy is quite specific and I never have a problem following their guidelines. Well, ed comes on here and on other online forums (to the tune of 40,000 posts and climbing) and rants and raves about issues surrounding Binghamton and the mayor - when he in fact does not live in Binghamton, work in Binghamton, own property in Binghamton or pay taxes in Binghamton. So he likes to use the term greater binghamton as a part of his bs in an attempt to "fool" some of the people to actualy believing that he lives here.

Ed Arzouian Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I have given my address and phone number numerous times to the PSB. I still do not understand why they can claim to be from Greater Binghamton but their readers cannot? As far as I know the Press & Sun-Bulletin has no office or plant or anything in the City of Binghamton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pat Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 You expect fairness from the Press? Check todays headline. How that could pass as a headline, Clinton says Obama could win! What a crock, what Liberal Crock. Spin my friend, Liberal spin. Both were asked the same question, both answered the same for each. It wrote truth said in the body of the piece, but the headline implied only Clinton made that statement. That parer is an embaressment of any normal thinking being. Why wasn't that edited, why wasn't that scrapped? Why? Because Liberal is as Liberal does,THEY FAVOR OBAMA! Gee Mr. Stovall to obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
