Instead of the people boycotting "Tropic Thunder" for the use of the mentally challenged, they would be better off boycotting it for the language, which is downright uncalled for.

I wonder why you hear Skaneateles, Aurora and Owasco complain about truck traffic but you really don't hear too many people talk about it in downtown Auburn, especially North and South Street. You wonder why downtown is the way it is, it has become a horrible problem and I don't hear enough people in Auburn complain about it, especially the officials.

Could it be that alternate side parking makes it easier for the garbage trucks to roar through town?

I think the City of Auburn might as well pull up all of the stop signs in the city, as there are people who just don't understand what the word stop means. Mostly down there on the corner of North Division and Clark Street/the Arterial --- that's a very bad place; up on the corner of Clymer and Dunning Avenue is another place; and over on the corner of Thornton Ave. and Chapman Ave., that's another place.

Wonder why the state is broke? One reason is the outrageous pensions that school superintendents set themselves up for; case in point, Plume collects over $95,000 per year.
