Whose idea was it to put the park benches around the city of Auburn? Who is going to sit on the benches with all these thugs on the street day and night?

I would like to say that in the downtown area of Auburn, cops should be walking the beat. Hire more cops if you need them.

I think the city is dragging their feet on collecting the money from the parking tickets. The people's names should be published in the paper and have judgments on their wages.

If there is such a problem with bank tellers, why not find the head teller, or assistant manager, or bank manager and voice your concerns. Why hide behind this two cents column?

How come Bill Gates can arrange it so that everyone's computers show the correct time when Daylight savings ends, but Time Warner cannot even get it right on their own stations?

My fellow Auburnians, you have no right to call yourself a true Auburnian unless you watch Billy Kufs show.

" Thugs? The thugs that ya'll are refering to I have not seen just hanging around "downtown" Auburn. Remember the court house and family court are there. It's hard not to be stereo-typical now-a-days. "

" Way to go karl L, you just publicly embarassed yourself. I'll keep the government out of my health care thank you very much. Imagine the DMV telling you which doctor you can go to. That's pretty much what you are looking for. You can't believe everything you see in the movies, karl L. Everything that Michael Moore has produced has been made-up, implied or twisted for one purpose: to spin-up gullible people like yourself into raving about Moore's movies and attract your gullible friends. Do some research. At the very least, google "Moore sicko truth". While you are at it, googel "moon landing hoax", "loose change" "alien autopsy" and "moore heston" "

" helly silly rabbit......ummm, sorry to burst your bubble there buddy boy, but Cayuga County was the ONLY County closed yesterday. Federal government offices, state offices, town/city offices, all open for business as usual. So next time you want to blow a bunch of hot air out your butt, may want to check your facts. Statements like that from a county worker prove our point, we have a bunch of nimrods running our county. "

" I HIGHLY recommend that everyone go out this week and rent Michael Moore's new release "SICKO". I saw it, and I must tell you that it is the most important movie you will see in your lifetime. If you still believe that we have anything resembling a "Health Care system" that works at all, and are one of those still for whatever reason clinging to the myth that Socialized Medicine would be a bad thing, please see this movie to see HOW WRONG YOU ARE. I DOUBLE-DARE any of the Conservatives here to just watch it--and then feel free to debate it. Nut please, if you haven't seen it, please realize beforehand that you're just speaking out of ignorance. "

" That billboard is part of Auburn's history..... I haven't noticed many thugs around downtown......One of the main problems with the rental stock here is that rent is so low its hard to do too much to the properties and still make some kind of profit. Secondly, NY state law makes it horrendously difficult to evict a bad tenant.......It seems to me the parking ticket dead beats should get their vehicles towed to an impound lot like other places do.

" I hope our newly elected officials make it their priority to make landlords get their rental properties up to the housing codes. That in effect will go a long way in making our streets & neighborhoods safe again. "

" Cayuga County is closed, well so are all the other ones, and did you get mail today? I didnt think so, the Feds are all closed too. And dont group "County Workers" most of us little guys doing the REAL work bust our butts just like anyone else, deal with the public daily (Im sure DSS would like some volunteer help, maybe you can volunteer, be sworn at verbally abused and spit on) AND WE PAY for our benefits, so shut it. Direct your ignorant commments to the appropriate floor (6th) they understand and practice ignorant the best of any "County Worker". "

" oh i thought they closed the county office building because they all went to jail over the asbestos scandle...may its another holiday John Chicks birthday or something like that "

" Oh and we only work 35 hours a week, because we have a Union. And if it is really an emergency that can't wait until tomorrow, they probably could have taken care of it yesterday. "

" Regarding the comment posted by Gram- silly you!! Thinking that the county offices would be open today, you know that if someone sneezes those offices they close. Just another paid day off (that we the tax payers provide them with) in paradise. LOL like they do any work when they are open! "

" I am not too scared to sit on the benches around the city. Most of the "thugs" that are around during the day are just people that don't work and are harmless. In fact, most of them even smile at you and say hello, which is more than you can say for people that aren't "thugs." "

" The downtown improvement project looks fantastic. I'm looking for a significant improvement in downtown Auburn over the next two years. And where are these thugs? I haven't seen any. "

" can someone please tell me why all county offices are closed today?to vote?arent polls open till 9pm?-what happens if someone needs emergency help with social services(heat,food etc.)or with the elderly? I work 40hrs a week also but i have to work today- so if you need help today-hold your hand till tomorrow?just asking. "

brew1234 wrote on Nov 6, 2007 11:42 AM:

" The thugs need benches too. Can't Auburnians look at anything with a positive outlook? If the downtown area gets foot traffic and people live in the area the thugs will move on and the decent people will take back the downtown. But you can only see the down side. "

karl L wrote on Nov 6, 2007 11:38 AM:

" I actually agree with the post about Billy Kufs. Billy is a one-man freak show; a caricature of the dangerously-patriotic, happily-ignorant, xenophobic Conservative, the likes of which Auburn seems to have more than its fair share. Ditto that for Judy Ducayne and her column of dirt, and the child abusers who stand out at Wegman's Corners with their pitiful children on summer evenings. Together, they almost constitute a "local attraction", like a 12-foot ball of yarn, or the big Lizard-N-Snake farm on the outskirts of some desert town--though unfortunately, I don't think Auburn should trumpet their collective existence.
