I, for one, as well as many others, are thankful for Mayor Lattimore. I think he's trying to perform as a good mayor.

Excuse me, baseball fan, Joe Torre led the Yankees to the playoffs for 12 years. Look up class in the dictionary.

The DA's race, why would you have a clone of what we already have. Remember the Brown case, the asbestos case, the former sheriff's case, and case after case of drunken charges postponed time and time again.

Illegals have already blended into our communities, and are working here. To give them a driver's license makes them visible to authorities so that we are more aware of who and where these people work and live.

It seems as if Mr. Bass cares more for the rights of the accused than the rights of the victims.

It will be a nightmare if Quill ever gets elected mayor. He'll probably try to have 18 man shifts at the fire department.

Shame on you, citizens of the city of Auburn, who don't enjoy the sounds of Auburn school band. After all they have done the community proud with all the first place awards they have won.

In the ‘60s, ‘70s and early ‘80s, you used to be able to get government surplus, cheese, canned meats, butter, oatmeal and flour and peanut butter. I'm wondering where the surplus is going?

" With Dempsey gone after he loses next week,gone also will be his continuous efforts to fight-there will be peace. His immaturity and problematic anger was evident during the debate.Mayor Lattimore has had to constantly put up with his bullying & obstructionist attitude. Quill has nothing to offer except more firehouses on every corner. "

" In four weeks, Mike Quill has gone from 'absolutely' supporting the 15-person minimum for the fire department to not knowing what the right number is. Can you say flip-flop? Is this the class and integrity he'll bring to City Hall? "

" Boobo would deny the poor some cheese. He is a heartless right wing conservative republican who would rather see you starve to death than give you some cheese. He watches those TV ads for starving children in South America and yells at the screen "get a job you bums" then buys a brand new SUV he didn't need. The starving children die and he pollutes the air but doesn't believe in global warming. Another day in the neighborhood for Boobo. Oh I forgot he wants to put PBS out of business so I shouldn't quote Mr Rogers, that bleeding heart liberal weakling. "

" After watching last nights debate and seeing Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Lattimore at each others throats, lets bring back integrity and morality back into City Hall. My vote goes to Mr. Quill. He was the one that acted like an adult. "

" I have a solution to end illegal immigration here in Auburn.Issue them drivers licences and when they come to apply, round them up like cattle and deport them back to where they came from!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!! "

" Vic -- what we got in Michigan WAS "fake" cheese, and it was even worse than Velveeta -- same kind of processed cheese, in a huge brick, and so packed with salt it would probably survive a nuclear holocaust and 500 years in the open. It was the only cheese I didn't like in my life. Maybe here in NYS they gave you real cheese, but not in the Motor City. Hey, IMPEACH BUSH -- I like your idea. Maybe we could actually "win" the war if all Iraqis ate that god-awful salt-laden fake cheese! And there's not much point responding to anything Bobbo says, since he so obviously grew up privileged and has never had to do without in his whole life, but as a child, my family put into the system and need not have felt shame to take out when it was on hard times. As an adult myself, I put into the system, and it wasn't there when I fell on hard times -- and that's wrong. I am back where I can fend for myself again, but I have had a more complete view of life and understand things more than someone who has only had a view from the top. It seems that for some people, that view has compassion obscured. "

IMPEACH BUSH wrote on Oct 31, 2007 5:42 PM:

" "Its the job of the government to give your cheese to Iraqi's and then add it to your tax bill. Unless your in the top tax bracket then of course you get all the cheese." "

Bobbo wrote on Oct 31, 2007 5:09 PM:

" Its not the job of the government to give you cheese. What a waste of tax dollars. Quit begging. "

" It is sad when the politically ignorant can have their opinion viewed as fact. It is fact that if Dempsey and Lattimore filled the fifteen man position in a timely manner, the city wouldnt have accrued much of the OVERTIME TO BEGIN WITH.... "

" I for one really liked the government cheese. It was actual cheese, not that individually wrapped "cheese food" stuff like Valveeta which is tasteless mush. If its individually wrapped folks, you're most likely eating fake cheese. "

" Since when did a driver's license give you the right to vote? It's only used to verify your current address. A voter's registration card is a legal document to verify your citizenship, can be used in place of a birth certificate or passport. "

Farmer's Gal wrote on Oct 31, 2007 2:05 PM:

" That surplus "cheese" came with a warning label that people with heart conditions shouldn't eat it -- and no wonder -- it tasted like eating pure salt and was NOT healthy food -- it made me sick. We had surplus honey from the government when I was a kid and that was edible and appreciated, but you just couldn't eat that so-called "cheese" -- more like, that cheese was a good way to kill off the poor.... "

" The surplus left town with Bill Clinton--also, if illegals have driver's licenses, THEY MAY BE ABLE TO VOTE! How will you like a bunch of NON-CITIZENS tipping the balance of an election, possibly to elect individuals who would extend further concessions and "rights" to NON-CITIZENS, Dummy?! "

" Tell me then, what has Lattimore done for this city? Nothing, because a mayor cannot do anything. Which is why there is no need for a mayor and just need the City Manager. "
