I have to agree pasmith. My "atta-boy" is for my local plow drivers in Darien and Alexander. Absolutely NO complaints about the job they do on the back roads. The complaint I have is, who does or doesn't, maintain RT 20 between Alexander and Erie County line and possibly the other area major roads. Year after year this strip is either skipped or plowed way too early to be ready for morning rush hour. Packed down snow from tracks that cars and trucks make create very difficult driving conditions even at slow speeds, P.S. NOT EVERONE IS ON THEIR CELL PHONE OR SPEEDS EITHER. There's frequent spin-outs on a few inclines due to NO treatment on the road either. Funny thou, cross into Erie County and the road is down to pavement. Apples to oranges driving conditions. I would gladly stay out of their way paulijoseph125 if they were around. By the way, are you one of the drivers?

...If the plow people get up at two in the morning. I'm the pope. cause I am up and travling at that time, and they ARE NOT on the road. I am NOT the only one that feels that way either. I hear complaints all the time from all walks of life. Roads are horrible and dangerous. etc.and , nice try with the " the way it gets plowed or salted depends on the tempurature, the ammount of snow and when it falls. " is a joke, nice try. thats an excuse. and we all know it. period. get up and plow the roads so we can get to work safely. thats there job.

cheers to all the plow guys. They get up at two in the morning to clear the roads and make them safe for commuting traffic.
Each time it snows the way it gets plowed or salted depends on the tempurature, the ammount of snow and when it falls.
For all you that have a complaint....slow down, get out of there way and hang up.
Sincerely,
annoyed citizen

btme ~~ Thank you!!! I coudn't have said it better myself....

I have a Rottie and love her probably too much and I wouldn't leave her out in the cold even though I'm sure she could handle it. The main reason, she's part of my family, I think she would rather be in her nice cozy home instead of out in the cold alone. And if I did leave her out, for her sake I would hope someone would call on her behalf...

Hey meyerracnswoman why the lecture? Nobody commented on YOUR dog. Who cares that YOU appreciated their concern for your neighbor's "poor, little dog". The vent wasn't about YOU or YOUR breed. It was about a small dog that obviously wasn't suited to be outdoors for any extended period of time in the frigid cold. So what if your dog can handle it. Want a medal? Wait a minute, there's a term I'm thinking of, let me see, it's called COMMON SENSE! Not all owners have it. If it takes a neighbor to get someones attention before it dies then you should support them instead of attempting to "put them in their place". Who the .... do you think you are. Not everyone can simply walk over and speak to the neighbor for many different reasons. Sometimes assumptions can protect an animal. "Lack of knowledge of the law"? Here's were the common sense comes in instead of arguing letters of the law. It appears YOU'RE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE!

RE: WE ARE WATCHING! While I appreciate your concern for your neighbor's "poor, little dog" being left out in 16 degree weather for over two hours, I think it is important for you to take the language of the law you cited into consideration before taking it upon yourself to call the authorities. "...shelter appropriate to its breed, physical condition and climate," is key. Our dog, for instance, is an Australian Shepherd, bred for cold climates due to his double coat of fur. While we don't leave ours outdoors for that long in frigid weather, we know that he does not feel the bite of the cold as we do - he is an animal and his breed dictates the parameters of appropriate shelter. Also, the dog's physical condition is to be considered. Have you spoken with your neighbor? It very well may be that your neighbor's dog is not a shepherd or other cold-climate dog, but God help us if we are all to be subject to the assumptions of our neighbors and their lack of understanding of the law.

We hear a lot about bullying in our school districts and I have often wondered why the kids have to be so mean but it finally dawned on me that it is because they are aloud to. Parents wake up and look around! If you want to have children grow a back bone and punish them when they are out of line; look at their phone to see what nasty messages are being sent and please make them apologize for their wrong doings. One kid actually peed on another kids backpack at one school and not even an apology was made by the student or the parents of him. If I was that parent that child would have not only written an apology but I would have made attempts to rectify my child's ignorance. Maybe parent should be punished when the child is nasty. I bet parenting styles would change.

Good comment denizen. Same monroe. I understand that the "powers-to-be" in the State are addressing this issue. He needs to be on par with the rest of the counties. He needs to be reminded that he was ELECTED. Guess what, if he wants to be reelected he may want to listen to what WE want. Not his personnal ideas. There are alot of Hunters and gun enthusiasts in Genesee County and it seems to me "he WORKS for us". Using the GVPS Vent section is a great way for our voices to be heard and shared with the whole county.

If this is truly happening notify the NRA immediately.

Also notify the NY Attorney General Office.

Also notify the FBI in Buffalo.
