there is a candidate for county clerk. not sure if it is public yet, so i won’t spill, but i am excited to work on the campaign. it is not someone that holds office and name recognition will be the biggest gap, but the resume fits the bill perfectly.

And where did those unneeded spaces come from? They came from D&C incompetence. Seems to me the only way to get those spaces in there is if some person intentionally put those spaces in there. I am not implying malice, just gross incompetence from whoever created that web page.

Thanks for the link.

Paige try this

There were some extra unneeded spaces in the URL on the D&C page.

You missed this … but since it is hardly earthshaking, I’ll let it slide this time.

NYSDOT is studying the transportation mess at the intersection of Winton and I-390. This is actually mindboggling … NYSDOT has studied eight different new designs for this intersection. I didn’t know government did that any more. I thought they found some politically connected donor, and funneled the money to companies that this donor owns, without regard to the quality of the result. Imagine that … a government agency being thorough and planning ahead and involving the community. I am shocked, I tell you, shocked!

Good news doesn’t happen often, and I don’t handle it well.

But, all sunny skies must have an ominous cloud or two to darken our lives, and so there is an ominous cloud in this case as well … the D&C, in reporting this on their website (link above), continues their distrust and dislike of all things internet. They give you a link to the NYSDOT website where the eight new designs are listed, but it’s not a hyperlink — you can’t click on it! Imagine, the D&C doesn’t realize that this is something expected in the 21st century. And if you try to copy and paste the text into your browser, guess what? The link contains a typo! It doesn’t work! Well done, D&C!
