Even ONE reason to vote for Doug Drazen?

City homeowners are angry about anyone even discussing DSS moving away from Binghamton High School! They want their children not to lose the chance to go to high school across from an inspirational, educational facility!

Did you know not two years after explicitly swearing off public money for his bar business, including publicly funded loans, Rich David took $271,000.00 Obama stimulus money for his bar business? How many Republicans do you know that took Obama stimulus money for their private business?

 

Not a reason to vote for Crazy Drazy.

Fucking Douchebag is right. Not everyone is Ed. :rolleyes:

Come on Ed. Wait until after Drazen is elected to have your total breakdown. We all want to savor it for awhile longer.

But isn't the social service office a family run business? They took a couple of old storefronts across from the high school and

turned it into a lifetime annuity. So isn't the truth of the matter simply this. The family that owns the DSS building and leases it to the county are really DSS recipients themselves?

 

Maybe if the family could be retrained and get some skills. They would not have to rip-off the tax-payers with such exorbitant rent charges. What is that building worth? And what is it accessed for? Is it worth more than the Press Building or Regency Hotel?

Tioga County moved their welfare office from inside the Village of Owego to a location outside the village, across from their public safety facility on State Route 38. They must be insane, or had a rich lawyer finance the move for them.

We must save the taxpayers' money, and keep Broome County DSS exactly where it is across from Binghamton High School! Any move could have devastating fiscal consequences! It is insane to finance and build an asset when those same taxpayer millions can be spent on rent!

Doughy Doug's seven year obsession with the DSS is downright creepy. It's no wonder that his repeated pursuits of the mayor's office have ended as complete failures. No normal person, especially one running as a republican, would ever expect to get elected with this as a major campaign item. Expecting taxpayers to pay for this boondoggle is absurd.

Read all about it it. It's creepy. It's abnormal, and threatens to deprive Binghamton's taxpayers of the panoply of economic, social, and educational benefits of having the main welfare office across from Binghamton High School.

Yes, we know you are creepy, abnormal, and threaten to deprive Binghamton's taxpayers. Now go away.

This whole DSS across from the High school is such a non-issue for anyone who actually lives and pays taxes in Binghamton.

 

If the region had 1,000 more jobs, if crime was lower, if our streets and bridges were in fine shape, if more properties were owner occupied, if code violations were the exception rather than the norm, and if snow removal was better, I'd say sure, look into moving DSS. But it's a County issue, and it has so little to do with the real problems in Binghamton, it's a mere distraction from the real issues.

 

If Drazen or any candidates truly think DSS across from the High school is a major issue, relative to the other issues facing the city, I'd seriously question their legitimacy to even appear on the ballot, let alone become mayor.

Binghamton's most pressing long term problem is nearly 50 years' loss of upper and middle income population. City services are largely funded by the property tax levy. By state law the property tax levy is limited to a set percentage of total assessed value of property in the city. So, more people with money to invest in and improve property, which raises total assessed value, is good; and less of them is not. DSS in front of Binghamton High School damages Binghamton's ability to compete for those people, and its ability to provide basic services to all its citizens.

 

Anyone that "actually lives and pays taxes in Binghamton", and cares about the city's ability to provide basic services like police, fire, water, sewer, streets, and parks, should care that DSS is across from Binghamton High School.

OK It is three card Monte time.....That's a county issue, that's a state issue, that's a federal issue.....

 

Does the city of Binghamton take any funding from these sources? Do city residents pay into these three entities?

 

The DSS Office across from Binghamton High School is a quality of life issue. And the residents do not

 

want it there any longer. Put that in your Albany poll and smoke it Mr. David.

As much as I'm sure nobody on earth would like to walk in on your own little personal touch fest, some of us have an actual interest in this City.

Broome County would have to decide to move DSS and it's hundreds of employees, and build a facility to do to. Where? What land? At what cost? Then they would have to redesign the BC Transit routes to accommodate the hundreds of DSS clients to the new facility. BC Transit is barely running as it is!

 

DSS across from the High school has NOTHING to do with the real issues facing Binghamton.

 

Drazen made it an issue in 2005 because he hates the family who owns the building, plain and simple.

 

Drazen doesn't have the money or resources to do a poll, but if he did and he polled Binghamton residents he'd find that 85% of them don't care about DSS across from the High school.

 

What stops "impressionable youth" from seeing 4/5 people in line at grocery stores using EBT cards? Are we going to try and hide that too, Doug?

Must keep DSS across from Binghamton High School. Otherwise it would be inconvenient for the landlord. Building a brand new facility would mean millions could not be spent on rent.

I saw Drazen working the crowd at the Lincoln day dinner he was at best pervasive. Rich David on the other hand was drawing a lot of unsolicited attention. He appears to have the support of his party.

 

Rich David could have been introduced as a special guest, as others were, but he was not, because he quit 6 days after getting the official Republican endorsement. Symbolically, he left the dinner early.

Are prospective BU students' parents impressed by main welfare office across from school, or no? Or should we not care about what those people think?

This shows how evil Rich David is and his smear campaigns are all about. They are launched from the bottom-less pit by beasts without a soul.

Senator Libous is against the improper use of EBT cards. just go to his web site and you will see that we wants it reported to his office. Why don't you operatives get on the same page?

The polls have shown it! Hatred and insanity are the only possible motivations behind wanting Broome County DSS relocated away from Binghamton High School!
