Welcome to the We have been telling you so edition.

Monroe County

Maggie gave her State of the County speech where she took the prefix “bi-” out of the word bi-partisan Oh, lets see - there is a new Web Site - Where residents can give their ideas for cutting the County budget. There will be more Town Hall meeting AKA the unFAIR plan town Hall meetings. Oh, the unpopular Maggie doesn’t like her power being checked either as she takes a swipe at the legal system. Now that you have followed all the links in the previous posts check out btp’s speech prediction thread. Spot On.

RenSquare made the news - The Rochester Business Journal is concerned. Fresh off Senator Schumer’s ultimatum - solidify the plan or lose funding - RenSquare has a meeting where the the architect that was originally hired to design the project, was blamed for the cost of the project (hoping the public wouldn’t notice) and as City News points out, per the new plans the project has scaled back. Of course we ask, If the project is scaled back why are we still talking about the original price tag. In fact we ask a lot of questions about RenSquare.

Chuck Schumer

The love / hate relationship with Chuck continues beyond his good actions on RenSquare. - Outraise the NRSC - Good, Saying America isn’t ready for a national health care plan - Bad - REALLY BAD. Hey Chuck, here is an idea - use all that money you are raising to help Senate candidates get elected and pave the way for a National health care plan because our current plan - yeah, the one with all the insurance companies, mountains of paperwork and millions of uninsured Americans is working sooo well.

Subsidies

Steve Minarik sets the stage with a Speaking Out essay on subsidies. Leave it to Steve to diss PaeTec park. Of course, it is either diss Paetec Park or RenSquare and, well, RenSquare is ultimately his baby. Wonder if he thinks this subsidy is good? But I didn’t see Steve Minarik at a presentation by David Cay Johnston where Joe Robach was on the receiving end of what types of government subsidies should be given. Speaking of which - Maggie says this subsidy is getting people fit 200 people at a time (if you an afford it).

Monroe Community College

MCC board appoints Bill Smith to be the next President of Monroe County College. Oh, sorry, got a ahead of myself. That meeting is actually tomorrow. Technically the deal is not yet finalized. So in the meanwhile, Ender drops out of contention, Spraggs’ interview is on YouTube, Bill Smith’s isn’t and the D&C catches up to him. He promises to put politics behind him. I’ll add that the collection of bridges sold to the public over and over again.

Extras

Speaking of BAD. Clinton disses activist base. Both Obama and Clinton forget the Presidential election is about getting a Democrat in office not 4 years of McSame.

The D&C Editorial weighs in in the Baghdad Embassy mess writing about all the wasted funds in construction. Yeah, better late than never. Was Operation Safe Surrender worth it? DREs (the bad types of voting machine) bite the dust in New York State. Â Earth day comes and goes more legislation shut out. Westside Public Access cable is discussed

Finally, Chili Supervisor David Dunning continues to find new and innovative ways to stick his foot in mouth while his head is somewhere else. Good Riddance Mr. Dunning. Check out this picture from SconsetMonkey.
