Water rate not the only problem

[Guest Guest]

Let us not forget the problems in the City of Binghamton are not just about water, though that is the biggest and most pressing one. There are all these other problems too:

 

When will work on the Southside Commons Project begin? Ryan got the money from Assemblywoman Lupardo last fall. So far, as usual, he has done nothing.

 

Ryan and his City Action City Council stooges are still holding the Regency for an out-of-state buyer that doesn’t have the money while a NYS buyer says they wil take it right away. How much is the City losing every day on The Regency Hotel? Why won’t they sell it? Why are they holding it for a company whose time has run out on their sales contract?

 

The municipal wifi project is still losing $70,000. Has anybody bought an ad or a repeaters?

 

The Binghamton police still do not have a contract. Why won’t Mayor Matthew T. Ryan pay the police? He had Tarik Abdelazim give away the farm to the firefighters, the civil servants, and the Teamsters but he wil not pay the police.

 

Ryan is still pushing through a needless and damaging court Street Roundabout that the City cannot afford even with federal grants.

 

Same for an unnecessary extension of the River Lark. The City cannot afford that but Ryan pushes it through anyway. Have you been on the River Lark we now have? Probably not, huh, few people do go there. But I did. I looks lie a beach. It is covered with dirt and sand form the flooding about a month ago. If DPW cannot even maintain the River Lark we have now do we need more of it elsewhere?

 

Where is the North Side Grocery? Is it beside the First Ward Health Clinic? With Mayor Matthew T. Ryan yelling at real estate developers is it any wonder nothing gets built.

 

And of course there is the O’Neil Building another prime example of Ryan’s negotiating skills. Instead of all of it coming down last year and not costing taxpayers a cent half the carcass of the builds remains and it will cost NYS taxpayers $417,700 to bring it down.

 

Meanwhile Ryan is hiring historians when he also tells us employee costs are killing us.

 

Matthew T. Ryan slowly be surely is digging a bigger and bigger hole in which to bury Binghamton.

I find myself trusting a guy named, at least until Unicron shows up.

Like we need a commons on the south side!

try putting it into paving the roads or downtown, spending it on the southside is a waste of time and money.

Or how about in the first ward there surely is alot of property there to develop

Waste of money or not, the money $125,000 was already earmarked for the project.

 

Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo gractiously found it for Ryan and since then nothing has been done. Where is the money. When will the project start. It has been more than six months.
