To help address Buffalo’s fiscal crisis I am enclosing a $10 check to launch a “Masiello Home Security Fund”. As you know, I have long felt a high-tech home security system, coordinated with the many ‘cops’ at Buff. State College, Buffalo Psych.Center, & Albright Knox Gallery should replace your $90,000(?)/yr./ ALL NIGHT COPs. Their greatest fear has seemed to be my finding them ‘asleep-at-the wheel’.
Your belt-tightening leadership could pave the way for other essential economy steps: downsizing council; reforming $1/2 mil.-annual City Hall Interns; enforcing residency on top appointees; eliminating universal 2 officer cop-cars, eliminating swollen-corrupt BMHA, etc.
Ever Watchingly, Dick Kern
6/21 UPDATE: Dear mayor, 6:15 AM City Hall watchmen 21
I’m officially on the threshold of feeble-minded old age (age 62) today. Don’t you send us old folks cards any more?
I’m afraid I won’t be able to ride my bike much longer, especially to S. Buffalo to harass Charlie Flynn’s kids as they play ball. I’ll miss that. Or to BMHA. Tell Gillian, Esq. & Rev. Lagona, Esq. that “shoot on sight” order they want from Judge Murphy may not be needed. I’m getting too old to handle the stress of possible arrest every time I enter the ‘federal plantation’.
Thanks for telling Joe Illuzzi not to slander Mike Attardo with that “felony drug conviction” charge. But I do need your help. Please tell him to post those child molesting papers he has on me next to your “click me ad with scripture”. Jesus wants him to tell the truth, no matter how painful, the Bible tells me so. Since he owes about $50,000 in child support, is currently on $25,000 bail & back in Cheektowaga Court on Aug 1 on child nonsupport, while also charged with a $17,000 check forgery, do you know how he supports himself (& his 7 yr. old girl?). How much did you pay for the click me ad with scripture? Please ask him to give me rates. I’ll Advertise my website so he can pay for her shoes or vitamins, maybe.
Jesus loves ya, (Illuzzi tells me so) Dick Kern
My Dearest Mayor, April 21, 5:30AM RE: ALL-NIGHT COPS
As you know, I am distressed about that Buffalo cop sitting all-night, every night in front of your house, desperately struggling to stay awake in his/her silly, incredibly boring ($90,000 per year ?) chore.
Your new neighborhood is doing quite well. Two weeks in a row Penhurst has had the highest housing sale in Buffalo. Two weeks ago Mr. Rudnick (who moved back to the waterfront) sold his house for $440,000. Last week 24 Penhurst sold for $480,000, a hefty 182% of its new GAR Assessed Val of $264,000
In contrast, your old boyhood neighborhood on West Ave. is in free-fall. Foreclosures, demolitions & blight abound. For example, 1250 West was just sold by HUD for $2,500, a mere 7% of its new GAR assessed value of $35,000.
Incredibly, your good friend, BMHA Assist Exec. ($73,000 /year with a GED) “Tommy” Williams lives with his mother-in-law doors away at 1258 West, which is assessed at $68,000. He must be very troubled to drive home every night, seeing how bad his (mother-in-law’s) neighborhood has become.
I urge that you move back to your old neighborhood & bring it the good fortune you have brought to Penhurst. Your all-night cop would bring a new sense of security to West, causing property values to rebound. And it would free Tommy from his burden-of-conscience forcing him to live with his mother-in-law in her troubled neighborhood. His wife & kids in Clarence would be overjoyed to have Tommy back with them on Thompson Road. He could then take kids from BMHA to Clarence to enjoy the suburbs & his (wife’s) nice pool. I do, however, need your explanation of why you have an all –night cop on Penhurst, while apparently County Executive Giambra needs no special protection at all on nearby, equally upscale Middlesex.
Ever watchfully, Dick Kern
PS: Until you move, could you ask your all-night cops to turn the car around so they can protect those other rich folks on Penhurst as well?
