Comment on Do Qualifications Matter

Of course qualifications do matter. I'm positive you'd agree that the McCain/Palin ticket is much more qualified. What has Obama done? Oh yeah, he gave a speech in 2002. Now that's impressive! So, I'm wondering why your article doesn't discuss qualification of either party? Did you see the title of your post?

Reply: The column was a lament to the fact that it appears that qualifications don't matter to most people but image does. Both tickets have a qualified and non-qualified person on them. Do you really think that most people care about qualifications? If they did then Clinton and Romney would both be on their respective tickets.

Thank you for your comment, please write again.

Comment on Orleans County in the Dark of Night

Thom,

Just look at the Middleport Drive-In. On a Friday night you can go there and the place is packed. And that is less than a mile away from the county line. No kidding.

I don't know if a movie theater would be the answer, but what if we had something like Skateland in Lockport? Worth a try. Could be a big flop. But it also could be a great investment for our community.

Good stuff Thom. The fact that Monroe County's taxes (with Rochester and many wealthy suburbs included) is lower than ours speaks volumes.

Of course, spending has gotten out of control here. If they used something called "restraint" when swiping the county's credit card, we might not be in such a situation.
