The burden of policing truants should fall on the school district. <br /><br />However, I fail to see the relevance of who enacted the ordinance. No matter who was originally responsible for it, apparently the current administration supports it and is enforcing it. That is where the problem currently lies and the change needs to be made.<br /><br />Similarly - while I understand your arguments - I don't understand the constant carping about the historic district. If it is so detrimental or unpopular, it should be quite easy to repeal.<br /><br />It would seem more productive to try to change the present than continue to fight about the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-36020617755124213342009-04-23T06:52:00.000-04:002009-04-23T06:52:00.000-04:00chris, we all weave tangled webs and carry some ba...chris, we all weave tangled webs and carry some baggage. although i appreciate your compliment, i know you have some prior issues about armstrong. <br />scott and i have known each other for close to 15 years. apparently he liked me as a critic of pawlowski, as long as i didn't criticize anything he (scott) was involved in.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-42401470217768329722009-04-23T06:30:00.000-04:002009-04-23T06:30:00.000-04:00But to hear ol' Scotty tell it, we are all insulti...But to hear ol' Scotty tell it, we are all insulting him.<br /><br /> Mike, I don't know about you, but Scott's outbursts recalls my misguided shots at you, before I got to know you.

Mike Molovinsky<br />a local blogger has decided that the dragon worthy of his attention is none<br />other than the evil and tyrannical West Park Civic Association and its even more<br />dastardly Historic District.<br />Apparently Mike can't let his loss in that effort go and from time to time<br />feels the need to vent his very selective version of events. Suffice it to say<br />one side in that struggle held public meetings while the other chose to lie<br />about the effects of an historic district and impugn the motivations of those<br />leading the public effort to get it approved.<br />I for one wash my hands of Mike, he is more trouble than he is worth and<br />clearly harbors an antagonism against those whose only motive was a better<br />community.<br /><br />Scott Armstrong<br /><br /><br />scotty, scotty, actually my blog which annoyed you the other day concerned the harassment of the pizza shop owner. you were embarrassed by your statement that you had no knowledge of the ordinance or it's implementation. i progressed on to citing other infringements on property rights, including the west park historic district. i told no lies, nor did insult the civic association. you on the other hand obviously put the righteousness of your ordinances ahead of any civility toward a person, actually that's the arrogance of self-righteousness to which i referred. i assure you i have "moved on" pass the historic district, which occurred in 2000. I have not moved on past fighting arrogance and self-righteousness, i'm proud to have defended the pizza shop.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-44875743545347642212009-04-22T19:25:00.000-04:002009-04-22T19:25:00.000-04:00Ah, the truth hurts.

I agree with the idea of hauling the parents of the truants in and holding them accountable. If a minor breaks a neighbors windowm the parents are responsible. It is a perfect extension of responsibility to me. I was never a truant, I feared the mighty Dad and the can of whup ass he would have opened up.<br /> those were the days!Chris Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785389463330442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-12064665825865458172009-04-22T17:01:00.000-04:002009-04-22T17:01:00.000-04:00i actually was told that the pizza and calzones we...i actually was told that the pizza and calzones were excellentmichael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-3889953118567307722009-04-22T16:43:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:43:00.000-04:00Ah yes, bring back the good old days!

A few years ago, I worked with a man who used to go crazy when someone referred to a "coffee klatch" or "coffee klatsch" as a "coffee clutch."<br /><br />You have just brought back memories of my enjoyable mornings working with Kenny and his sole problem of the "coffe klatch."<br /><br />Jelly doughnuts are on me. By the way, I hope it is good pizza that is causing all of this concern with the school and the historic district.<br /><br />Peace, ~~AlexSanctifying Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587567660211753210noreply@blogger.com
