LETTERS: Seat belt fine not fine

Seat belt fine not fine

I certainly hope that the Town of Niagara Court and the state of New York are proud to fine me $115 for a seat belt violation. I admit that I am guilty of this terrible crime and I pleaded guilty to save myself and the town court time and expense. This being my first traffic violation in 25 years, I can only wonder that perhaps if I were a millionaire sports figure instead of a retired law-abiding citizen (most of the time), and if I would have run over a person and drove away, (felony leaving the scene of an incident) I may have only have been charged $100.

Have a wonderful day.

A glimmer of hope

Now that Joe Bruno has finally decided to give the people of New York state a break and not run again, that’s great news. Now if we could just get him to take the other degenerates with him, maybe we could save the state and bring it back to some sort of respectability. You know whom I mean — Silver, Maziarz, DelMonte and O’Connor — the other degenerates that help him ruin our beloved state.

Before we can bring Niagara Falls back to what it once was, we have to get rid of the people who keep it down. Oh, and let’s not forget to add Donald Trump to that list. I would like to think that he hasn’t been paying these people off for decades to keep gambling out of New York state. Then that fool Pataki sells us down the river with that deal he made with the Senecas. He really screwed Western New York with that contract. Are they all clueless?

Brian Grear you’ve got my vote.
