Guest Council Watcher Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Taxes will go up. Crime will escalate. Council will continue to be a rubber stamp. We are a Welfare city.

Guest Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 What you describe is not "going nowhere". It is called "sinking." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're that concered about it, get involved! Go to City Counsel meetings! Voice you complaints there, its going to get you no where on here. Its one of two things, either you really care about what you're saying or you just like to complain, which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PARMELEE Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I can't stand you people that complain about everything that happens around you. If you're that concerned about it, get involved! Go to City Counsel meetings! Voice you complaints there, its going to get you no where on here. Its one of two things, either you really care about what you're saying or you just like to complain, which is it?I'm pretty sure I know who the OP is and he has been to numerous city council meetings only to have his words fall on deaf ears.....As Dr. Phil says you can fix what they won't acknowledge is broken....

Guest Mac Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Go to City Council Meetings are you kidding..have you seen the new council, they are his backers. They will only do his bidding, get real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I thought Ryan's much ballyhooed " Neighborhood Assemblies" were supposed to be a "grassroots"..."bottom-up"...."participatory democracy" avenue for citizens to advise Ryan, his administration and the city council on public policy matters? So why the need to create 4 brand new "panels" and "commissions" do do the same thing? I'll tell you why....because after two years...they've accomplished absolutely nothing of substance...it is not a broad-based grassroots movement...it appeals to a very small radical fringe group of kooks. There is no broad appeal across the political spectrum and that's why the number of people particpating hasn't grown and their impact is nill. The Neighborhood Assemblies are used as a political organizing tool for Citizen Action and THEIR narrow agenda. The process is designed to benefit them...not the city as a whole. The Neighborhood Assemblies are "yesterday's news"...and they've been impotent in providing anything substantive in turning the city around...creating jobs, fighting crime, raising property values, etc...so it's time to shuck and jive and create something "new and exciting" in order to distract and divert attention away from the demonstrable failure. When what you're doing isn't working....simply change the name and keep doing the same thing and call it progress and hope the populace is too stupid to catch on. Obviously Ryan knows what he's doing...Binghamton was stupid enough to elect him...and he knows it. You fools get what you deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't figure out how this man ended up as mayor. he cannot speak, he cannot speak even what is written before him. he kept swaying from side to side like he is on drugs. he kept reading the speech buut was still stumbling over his words. did you guys notice how the crowd was clapping and cheering everything he had to say! what the heck is going on?

Guest Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 He speaks better than our president...lol They are equally as horrible public speakers. Even when faced with just a camera, Ryan can't get two and a half words out without a stammer, or an "uhhhh...." Neither one of them should speak to any group larger or more significant than a Cub Scout Pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything with this controlled Ryan group is fake, fixed and phoney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
