Ord Talk

Considering the past 2 winters snowfall amounts, I'll bet there were alot of people that would have loved to have their driveway(s) cleared with a front end loader for free with tax payer money.

My official position on the Markowski affair: Make him pay for the work and rent on the machinery and be done with it. Honestly, too much is being made over this whole deal by a bunch of people who just want to make everyone as miserable as they are. I don't like that he used the equipment and the manpower to do these things, but instead of cutting someone off from their livelihood (and possible putting them on unemployment or some other government aid) reprimand them publicly and make them pay for the use.

Now that I'm off that, why isn't anybody getting on Schafer for being a complete jerk of a neighbor and not seeing that "hey maybe I should help look for his dogs instead of sitting in my house on my butt with a camera." Wouldn't put it past that little pipsqueak to have been the one to let the dogs out in the first place. Funny how you all talk about "neighbor against neighbor" when it suits you, but when the result of that animosity helps your cause in some way, then by all means! How does that saying go? The ends don't justify the means.

You can tell whose house it is from how close the tall picture window is to the driveway and you can just see the green steps heading up to their door. Plus if it was from Nelson's you would see a more NW angle to the shot.

Irish one - Talk about unprofessionalism, Markowski couldn't show anymore disrespect to Chief Miller by calling him Mr. Miller. Markowski's statements showed contempt for Chief Miller investigating a theft. Markowski believes he's above the law too. Markowski should not only pay the city back, he needs to apologize to the public & make a public apology to Chief Miller.

Shakes The operative word here is "theft". A long history of theft, the treet trimming isn't just one isolated incident, using city equipment for his own personal use for land leveling, snow removal on many occasions, building moving, lost pet searching, tree trimming...
How many other people got a special phone call from the clerk saying Viaero is looking for a lot? City officials need to be above reproach. Not only should Markowski loose his job for the long history of theft,...but now as utilities superintendent he's calling Police Chief Miller a low life for being above reproach and doing his job. Is all of this going to fly with the mayor,city council or tax payers?

Rock posts here with everyone knowing who he is. He goes to the city council, speaks directly to them on how the tax money is being spent. Doesn't this include your tax money?

I want to be sure I understand what your saying. You anonymously critize Rock's posts. You don't show up at the city council meeting to comment on the way the tax money is being spent. You then anonymously call another person by name a pipsqueak. Just what does that make you? What do you call this? You comment about Rock needing to be the bigger person, not just the one with the bigger ego... Who's opinion should be respected here?

Nice job of fouling up the facts on KNLV.

How about this, instead of playing cat and mouse by hiding away to catch video of the people looking for the dogs, call Paul and tell him you'll look for them so the city workers don't have to! You all want to look for the solution that causes the most strife while CLAIMING to want a simple solution. The simple solution in THAT case was to help out a neighbor instead of cowering in the shadows. As far as talking about the camera man, he knows what I think of him because of our personal history, but I probably did go too far calling him names on this site, so for that I apologize. However, that doesn't change the fact that what he did goes right in line with most of the trash on this site - don't help, just cause a ruckus! And for those thinking that I'm supporting Markowski on this, check my original post - I have said nothing supporting or opposing him. I just said if he used city services, make him pay for it, reprimand him and move on. He'll realize he can't get away with it anymore, which should be the point of all this, not going after someone's livelihood.

Sting - How do you know I wasn't at the meeting exactly? Oh, right, you still think you know who I am...sad. The desperate cling to that last thread for so long.

Shakes says, "...instead of playing cat & mouse by hiding away to catch...people..." What are you doing here, anonymously calling people by name, a pipsqueak? Is that not cat & mouse? You being the mouse.

Shakes says, "As far as talking about the camera man, he knows what I think of him because of our personal history..." Who has the axe to grind here, shakes?

Shakes says, "...don't help, just cause a ruckus!" Rock recently said to sweetpea, "Nothing will change unless issues are confronted to implement change." Shakes says, "He'll (Markowski) realize he can't get away with it anymore..." THAT'S THE POINT, SHAKES!

Shakes says, "The sad part is, what kind of character does that show to our young people?" Shakes, you are showing our young people, if you have an axe to grind with someone, call them by their known name on a blog, and refer to them in a demeaning way while you post anonymously. Then criticize those that are trying to implement change because you don't like them either.

If this site is trash (as you say), then we won't keep you here. You can leave anytime.

If PM is an example of what our city officials are like, maybe this is happening in other areas of our local government also.

Those that are overlooking things that need correction makes one just as guilty. A favor here, a favor given there, all on taxpayers shoulders. Who cares if they use the government this or that, it doesn't cost them anything......WRONG! Did anyone have to pay their taxes last week? Boy did they go up.
