  1. The word corruption might be overly strong, even regarding the former city manager, who is deserving of his day in court. It might be a pipe dream, but I'm hoping for fiscal responsibility. To our east, we see what has happened to the combined police force in Clearfield. Locally, we need to examine where the major cost drivers are to the local budget.
  2. My point, Keyser, is there is a time limit to how long you lay blame on to another.
  3. Anyone here able to make heads or tails of the tax increase headed our way in the new city? 4 mils? 2 mils? What are the projects needed that dictate the increase? I hope the incoming council reopens the budget process and administers fiscal restraint and management. Just a mil? Just $400,000.00? Further, to the DuBois politicians, Herm hasn't been manager, for how many years? Time to look in the mirror.
  4. Let's wait to pick a name until Union, Huston and Brady Townships are part of the package!
  5. To me, on the state & national stage, the democrats widely outplayed the republicans. What did Bill Clinton say? "It's the economy, stupid"! The extended government shutdown, with healthcare costs rapidly increasing, with pricing of all goods also increasing (remember tariffs, just to mention one thing) and so forth, have weighed heavily in the minds of many voters. For some voters, the perceived heavy handedness of the current administration, also energized segments of the democrats. I do not view Mandami as the shape of things to come. I do view the current results as continuing, if the republicans don't get their own house in order. This country has a widening gap between the lower and upper classes, with the middle disappearing. I cannot fathom how the wealth of billionaires is increasing two and three-fold (For example, look at Mark Cuban, or even at our president and his family bearing in mind I am a republican). As for our local election, in another thread, I posted "meet the new boss, the same as the old boss". I stand by the post.
  6. It's bizarre! What was easily understood is now a split-second decision drivers must make. Oh well, maybe a round-about at the Shaffer/Maple intersection will solve the problem.
  7. Political theater, performed by both parties, simply to have a case go before a sympathetic judge for a quick ruling that will ultimately be overturned. Again, both parties do it.
  8. Agree, but the part that is a bit disconcerting is the language "unspecified project". Now, that might be a liberal interpretation by whoever (reporter) was covering the meeting, or maybe truthful! We don't need any more unsightly tubs in this town.
  9. From what I have been told by our IT provider, yes. Please bear in mind, our computers are no earlier than Windows 10.
  10. I would seriously look at two backup methods (use both). First is a top-quality thumb drive and second is a portable hard drive.
  11. What is changing is that Microsoft will no longer offer support for earlier versions. Computers will still operate, but there is no need to scrap what you have or rush to an update. Remember all the "Chicken Little(s)" back when Y2K was the rage? The world didn't stop, computers still worked and Bill Gates didn't earn mega-billions, just billions.
  12. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.......
  13. The president is on the right path and that's uncovering who is paying the protesters.
  14. More like trap doors!
  15. It was an under-the-road tunnel to move freight/packages from the JC Penney side to the Troutman side. I'm not sure what stores used the tunnel. On the Penney side, there was Klewan's department store and on the opposite side, the original Way Office Product, in a building that previously housed a department store. Maybe some friends from the historical society can fill in the blanks?
