B
F
A
F
Okay,
I'm
john
solak.
I
live
in
the
city
of
binghamton,
very
distressing,
going
on
in
the
city.
F
Captain
police
captain
corey
miner
said
that
he
would
have
something
to
say
on
the
27th
regarding
the
situation
at
the
colonial
and
dos
rios
and
didn't
communicate
on
the
27th
or
thereafter
now
this
bar
cartel
this
entertainment
cartel,
whatever
it
is
with
tentacles
into
the
student
housing
business,
has
got
big
problems,
but
the
bigger
problem
is:
what
is
the
city
going
to
do
about
it?
F
You
can't
investigate
your
own
members
of
your
force
if
they're
working
now,
I
was
by
there
this
evening.
One
person
was
at
the
colonial
in
a
in
a
chef's
uniform
at
the
bar.
That's
all
I
saw
nothing
was
open.
F
F
You
walk
up
court
street
today,
eight
years
of
mayor
david.
Let's,
let's
keep
this
in
mind
when
joselino
kubicek
was
elected
president
of
brazil
in
1960
he
built
the
entire
capital
city
of
brazil
from
blank
ground
empty
ground
to
a
sizable
capital
city
41
months
to
build
brasilia.
F
So
what
do
we
have
after
eight
years
of
mayor
david?
Well,
we
have
the
hamline's
ces
drug
store
been
a
drug
store
for
a
hundred
years
with
two
owners
it
is
empty.
Today,
his
aforementioned
bar,
complex
triplex,
there
is
is
not
operating.
F
Oh
first
niagara,
there
is
no
bank
there
by,
however,
there's
a
bank
and
vessel
new
bank
and
vessel,
so
the
downtown
area
is
bleak.
I
was
there
for
a
couple
of
hours.
It
is
very,
very
bleak
and
dreary,
and
it
is
not
prosperous
at
all.
There's
a
light
pole
out
in
front
of
your
new.
I
guess
it's
going
to
be
some
sort
of
tap
room
beer
place
and
the
light's
been
smashed
up
by
the
people
working
on
it.
It's
unhooked,
it's
teetering,
when's
it
going
to
be
replaced.
F
The
city
gets
a
lot
of
money,
never
replaces
anything
when
it's
damaged.
I
don't
know
whether
it
gets
insurance
or
not.
F
So
it's
a
year
with,
with
a
guy
he's
a
nice
enough
guy,
you
know,
don't
get
me
wrong,
he's
a
nice
enough
guy,
but
he
outlined
his
goals
now
again,
going
back
to
a
belabored
point
that
I've
made
before
the
delineation
and
the
responsibilities
of
mayor
are
in
the
city
charter.
The
mayor
is
to
obey
and
do
his
work
according
to
the
city
charter.
That's
the
description.
F
He
mentioned
three
of
the
five
things
had
absolutely
no
authority
within
the
city
charter
of
binghamton.
If
we
can
stick
to
the
city
charter,
if
you
can
all
stick
to
doing
your
own
business
as
defined
by
the
city
charter,
we
will
be
a
better
and
more
prosperous
city.
F
But
if
you
continue
to
go
off
the
deep
end
and
think
you
you.
F
Elected
official
your
authority
is
unlimited,
then
I
think
we.
G
F
Problems
but
right
now
we
have
a
corrupt
city,
a
compromised
city,
and
I
call
for
you
to
expose
this.
We
had
a
mayor
that
is
up
well
now
he's
up
two
days
after
the
three
days
after
he's
up
at
the
state
police
complaining
against
somebody
now.
Why
didn't
he
do
that
as
mayor?
So
all
I
can
say
to
you
is:
I
wish
you
luck,
but
binghamton
is
very,
very
tenuous.
The
debt
isn't
going
away,
300
million
in
the
sewer
plant,
90
million
ordinary.
It
has
to
be
paid
off
or
liquidated.
F
A
B
Okay,
I've
been
watching
the
attendees.
I
haven't
seen
anybody
else
jump
on
in
this
whole
time.
So
I
guess
if
there
are
no
other
hands
raised,
we
will
move
on
to
our
legislation.
If
anybody
comes
on
in
the
next
minute
or
so
we'll
we'll
circle
back
and
let
them
let
them
join
but
looks
like
it's
been
pretty
steady
with
the
four
attendees
plus
the
caller
that
just
called
in
so
I
think
we're
we're
safe
to
move
on.
B
B
B
Thank
you.
Does
anyone
have
any
discussion
or
any
any
comments
on
this
piece
of
legislation.
A
A
B
Okay,
thank
you.
You
ever
called
a
question.
B
E
D
H
B
Okay,
well,
I
guess
we're
we're
moving
nicely
for
our
first
meeting
here,
so
we'll
get
get
deep
into
it
here
pretty
quickly,
but
we'll
we'll
take
early
in
the
year.
We
will
go
on
to
our
communication
from
our
from
our
all
of
our
colleagues
and
we
will
start
at
the
top
with
councilman
springy
and
we'll
kind
of
move
forward
down
the
line
as
we
go
through
each
meeting.
So
councilman
cringy
go
ahead.
C
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
just
want
to
say
a
quick
load
to
everyone
great
to
see.
You
again
hope
you
had
a
merry
christmas
and
a
happy
new
year.
Please
be
mindful
of
your
neighbors.
It's
getting
very
cold
outside,
especially
the
elderly,
and
watch
your
pets
as
well
and
other
than
that.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you,
mr
president,.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
stringy,
councilman,
councilwoman,
rezaniti,.
E
Thank
you
no
comments
for
tonight.
Mr
president,
I
just
want
to
wish
everybody
a
happy
new
year.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
on
to
councilwoman
riley.
G
Thank
you,
council,
president,
similar
to
my
other
council
colleagues.
I
want
to
wish
everyone
a
happy
new
year,
as
I
mentioned
before,
it
is
our
job
to
kind
of
continue
to
usher
in
the
positivity
and
the
change
we
hope
to
see
for
this
community
there's
still
a
lot
of
a
lot
going
on,
not
to
mention
the
covic
cases.
G
You
know
I
myself
crossed
that
line
this
past
couple
of
weeks
and
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we
are
providing
the
resources
and
the
services
we
can
so
shout
out
to
all
of
our
city.
Employees
who
have
been
actively
serving
in
the
midst
of
all
that's
going
on
are
cold.
Who
continues
to
work
now.
I
can't
even
remember
tito's
team
who
has
been
working
with
me
on
the
e
illegal
airbnbs
in
the
third
district,
so
we're
walking
through
those
as
well.
G
B
Thank
you,
councilwoman
freedom.
D
Thank
you,
council
president
happy
new
year,
everyone.
I
hope
everyone
has
been
following
their
new
year's
resolutions
so
far
day.
Five,
if
you
can
get
through
the
first
few
weeks,
what
does
it
take?
Something
like
takes
three
weeks
to
form
a
habit
so
28.
C
D
28
day,
okay,
so
four
weeks,
so
if
we
can
keep
it
up
for
four
weeks,
then
hopefully
we
can
integrate
a
new,
healthy
habit
into
this
new
year
and
speaking
of
healthy,
I
mean
like
councilwoman
riley
said
covet
is
no
joke,
we're
seeing
record-breaking
numbers
nationally
and
locally
as
well.
So
again,
please
get
vaccinated
if
you
can
get
boosted
and
be
smart
wear
a
mask,
I'm
not
here
to
preach,
but
I
do
care
about
everybody
in
the
city
and
across
the
country.
D
B
Thank
you,
councilman
burns.
I
It's
2022
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
this
year.
Congratulations
again,
phil!
I
I
would
like
to
thank
councilwoman
russenetti
for
her
service
last
year
and
I
hope
that
hope
we
have
a
good
year.
I
you
know
I
went
to
the
mayor's
speech.
He
gave
a
great
speech
by
the
way
the
other
day
and
it
sounded
very
bipartisan.
I
I
might
might
add-
and
I
hope
that
I
hope
I
hope
that
that's
the
way
we
will
work
this
year
and
we
can
get
a
lot
done
for
the
city
of
binghamton
and
we
all
love
this
city
and
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
all.
So.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilman.
H
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
get
to
respond
to
mr
solex
for
one
second
here
I
I
believe
rit,
the
mayor
david,
stated
a
couple
weeks
ago
that
the
the
city
police
department
was
done
their
investigation
of
the
establishment's
downtown
and
moved
it
on
to
the
da's
office.
So
I
think
it's
a
little
misguided.
H
The
d.a
will
make
a
decision,
I'm
not
sure
how
what
that
timetable
is,
and
I'm
not
sure
anybody
is
but
they'll
make
a
decision
there.
So
I
think
to
go
after
the
city.
Here
is
not
really,
I
don't
think,
really
fits
right
now.
So
I'd
like
to
wish
president
strong
a
good
year,
congratulations
and
happy
new
year.
Everybody-
and
thank
you,
mr
president,
I'm
done.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
scandal.
I
appreciate
it.
Okay,
well
just
a
couple
things
really
quick!
Thank
you
all
for
your
support
kind
words
once
again
to
reiterate
thank
very
thankful
for
councilman
resonating
and
her
service
last
year,
and
I
thank
you
all
for
for
your
support
and
I'm
optimistic
that
that
we'll
be
off
to
a
great
start,
have
a
couple,
several
good
conversations
with
the
mayor
and
several
good
exchanges
with
megan
as
well.
I
think
she's
going
to
be
a
great
addition.
B
As
the
the
deputy
mayor,
I
think
she's
she's
sharp
and
she's
she's
right
on
point
very
organized,
so
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
good,
a
good
addition
in
that.
B
In
that
position
I
was
not
there,
but
I
heard
good
reports
from
their
first
department
head
meeting,
so
that's
good
and
and
as
councilwoman
riley
said,
we
have
a
lot
of
great
employees
at
the
city
which
hopefully
will
make
this.
You
know
transition,
even
though
it
was.
You
know
the
mayor
kind
of
jumping
one
office
to
the
other,
which
obviously
helped
helped
a
little
bit
in
that
sense.
But
we
have
a
lot
of
great
employees
down
there,
which
we
need
to
have
a
good
continuity
of
government.
B
So
I
want
to
thank
thank
everybody
down
there
for
their
their
hard
work
and
and
and
as
as
much
as
it
seems
like
it's
just
seamless,
they're,
still
still
different
things,
nuances,
different
expectations
with
a
new
administration,
so
so
they'll
be
dealing
with
some
of
those
things.
B
So
we
appreciate
all
that
and,
like
council
councilwoman
friedman
said
just
be
extra
vigilant,
I
think
I
don't
think
I've
ever
been
more
trying
to
be
more
vigilant
after
two
years
than
I
am
now
that's
one
of
the
reasons
I
decided
to
stay
home
so
plus
it's
the
shortage
and
I'm
gonna
try
to
get
down
there
for
most
of
the
meetings.
B
But
I
thought
tonight
would
be
a
good
time
just
to
stay
here
and
do
it
so
please
be
vigilant
and
the
respected
people
around
you
respect
the
businesses
that
are
asking
you
to
to
mess
up
whether
you
in
your
heart
of
hearts,
agree
with
it
or
not.
It's
it's
a
respect
issue
for
those
businesses,
as
they
they
face
fines
and
penalties
and
and
other
people's
comfort
level
of
being
there
as
well.
B
So
sometimes
it's
tough,
but
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
respect
for
for
each
other
as
well,
so
I'm
optimistic
for
a
great
year.
I
like
it
once
again
thank
you
for
the
the
well
wishes
and
we'll
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
get
to
work
with
that.
I
would
like
to
take
a
motion
to
return
motion.
