Don't hold your breath waiting for a cogent response. Specializes in personal attacks and getting critics off topic. 65% now rate the roads in the City as TERRIBLE. Working together works!

  If what u said were true, that you were trying to expose things, then perhaps you would serve a purpose. But from what I have read, what u really are doing is spinning constant lies.. 99 percent of the stuff  



Soooooo.    Almost 24 hours and more violent crime news in the city.    Still no response from SB     Still can't find anything to refute the facts?    Yep, and crime is down, isn't it?

Oh yeah, and the tax story too.  People can't afford to pay taxes, in other cases people just up and leave.   And now the city wants to put the burden on to us in the towns via our county tax bills.    Oh, wait, that news story and the discussion among the council people, that was just another lie, because 99% of what I post is just a lie.   Yep.

So, 48 hours, and SB has not stated which statements are the lies.  

Obviously because I asked for proof of anything SB aka DV said were lies.   Since there is no proof, then it's not lies

You "believe" that VIOLENT crime is down?????    Would you are to provide the facts that cause you to believe that?

How about this story from the TU a little while back which they got their infor from the state of NY -- OFFICIAL RECORDS!

Do you know how to read?    DId you learn how to read?

You "believe" violent crime is down.   See, this is the problem.  You are blind, you pay no attention to the facts and they you claim that we tell lies.

I posted about the violent crime in Schenectady, WAY UP, and now that your ignorance has been proven, you choose not to admit you were wrong.

Now, as you claim that 99% of what I say is lies, I'm still waiting, all these other FACTS about the city, it's amazing, you have not disputed them now that I have summarized in a list ths stuff I have written about the city, the FACTS I have written, those things that YOU cliam are 99% lies  

So how come you have not provided one shred of infomration to disprove the things I wrote??????    Still waiting.   Remember, when you do try to list which one of those 16 items is a lie, you do need to provide proof that it's  a lie.

16 items in that list  99% of that is what?  

Still waiting for you response SB.   Or are you going to finally admit that you were and are wrong, admit that you don't pay any attention to the factual truth based on offiial records

Constant lies, huh?

I see that SB still has not been able to successfully refute any of those 16 items listed.    

Well, SB?   You can't disprove them, huh?   Obviously not.

Yes, it does servie a purpose.  You've heard of the squeaky wheel?     And the residents, the homeowners,, those who struggle financially, need to be informed of what is done with their tax money.

What you "believe" and what is FACT are totally opposite, and the goverment records will prove it as will the police reports, news reports, etc   Yep, another stabbing today

You just can't address things item by item.  

Tell us SB, for roughly $25 a month we have good trash pick up in the town.  That's about how much per year?   How about the trash FEE PLUS the trash TAX in the city.

FOr a house assessed as much as ours in town, if we lived in the city we'd pay almost twice as much.   In town we pay under $200 every other year to have the septic pumped.  In the city we'd pay about $300 PER YEAR.   We pay a $25 water fee in town.  IN the city we'd pay about $300 per year.  Oh yeah, and city fees are NOT tax deductible.

For roughly half the tax we get good snow plowing, all cars off the street to facilitate plowing and most of the time this winter the roads were plowed twice by 7 in the morning.  In the city, cars illegally parked -- even on emergency strets -- are ignored by the city, not even so much as a ticket, the streets are poorly plowed, even streets on the way to the hospital.

In the town we have many grocery stores in which to shop, we can buy virtually everything we want or need.   Tell me where even ONE department store is in the city.  Tell us how much choice you have for grocery shopping in the city.  

Tell us when children have been shot in town on playgrounds or even in their own homes.  How about the number of murders, stabbings, and shootings in the towns within the county, can you provide us the statistics, the news stories of when they took place, etc.

Tell us how long houses sit unsold in the city compares to the surrounding towns.

Tell us what the vacancy rate/abandoned houses are in the towns (be sure to provide proof)
