Here's another ...Bill Thompson is running for Mayor

PRESS 
01.06.13, Bill Thompson for Mayor Campaign
Statement by William C. Thompson, Jr. on School Bus Contract Negotiations

"A school bus strike can be avoided but the Mayor and the Department of Education must come to the table looking for solutions and not just headlines. By rebidding contracts that include job protections the City can save taxpayers' money, maintain the jobs of experienced drivers and minimize any disruption to school schedules. The City should not be holding our school children hostage to its political agenda. Parents need the safety and security for their school children that experienced workers provide."

How much do safety pins cost?  About 4 gallons of fuel at about 4 bucks a gallon divided by 2 pins =  about $8 per pin.

I was told if your run is out of Sharrots your bus will be moved there before Wednesday

Buzz , We don't need this nonsense.  The hatred, the capital letters as if his profane rhetoric needs more emphasis. Its your site Buzz but you are more patient than me. You have asked him repeatedly to stop. He has the mentality of a high school sophomore.  If I was you i'd just block his access and be done with it.  Not telling you what to do, its your site.

how long you think it will be until one of our drivers thinks the light has been green for a long time and stomps on the gas to get through the wash quick before the light turns red on him?

Any challengers? 

Round up the Usual Suspects

Hey John, I thought you were a cop. Were you sleeping the day they went over "always cover the back door" at the Police Academy?

John, you say "it was reported " that people were refused time off to campaign. "Reported"  by who?. Sounds like more BS.
Explain this to me john .  Why did these challengers wait till several days after the ballots were mailed to mail out their campaign literature to my home?  Not very smart. I got their literature in the mailbox after I voted already. I guess you'll  tell me Ernie had someone at every Post Office in the city  to stop them from mailing it on time.

I recieved my ballot in the mail on Saturday. On Monday I marked it for the Cordiello Slate and Mailed it out. On Tuesday the Members for change or whatever they call themselves show up at the property electioneering.  Don't you think the time to campaign is the days leading up to the election and not after some people have already voted?  Shoudn't they have been around last week if they are serious?  If this is their idea of how to do things you better hope they dont get in. I certainly dont want them representing me, they cant even represent themselves properly.

Mirrorcheck, let me see if I have this straight. . You are a Union worker and you think the republicans union busting tactics are OK?  The republican party has an agenda and will not rest until all unions are done away with.  This will not stop in Wisconsin and it will not stop with just public sector unions.  How would you like it if 1181's collective bargaining rights were taken away? Do you think Neil would give us a fair shake at contract time if we can not bargain? The republicans have their own redistribution of wealth plan. Take away money from the working man and redistribute it to big business and wealthy corporations.  Big tax breaks for the the wealthy and Giant Corporations. They have guys like you who listen to the nonsense on FOX news bullspitted that they are looking out for you.  What a joke.

The School Chancellor says sending Special needs children to school in a Taxi will be cheaper than a School bus

I have a few questions about this brainstorm.....       Will the taxi driver have a background check before transporting kids or training in handling special needs children?  Will the city check his driving abstract and will the inspectors check his cab for violations?

Hackumoff, nice first post. Amazing you have a week off with pay and you are still not happy.

Notice on the window today says all drivers must submit an updated L/R Sheet by next week
