The city used some money improperly?

Once again thank you Times Leader

The Times Leader reporting that the auditor general found yet another problem with the city’s fuel account.

“The report also notes the city used some money improperly”, and the city responded with “we did not realize project approval was needed. We will comply in the future.”

One again the city claiming ignorance when caught with their pants down, but wait wasn't this supposed to be experienced leadership? How in the world could someone who has been in the mayors office for over 10 years, and a councilman for several years before that be soooo darn STUPID?

There is a difference between a clerical error and intentional fraud.

Greco TWO, Hawkeye ZERO

For those of you keep score that is the true Wilkes-Barre surveillance camera scorecard, and you can bet Greco’s camera system cost far less than the $10,483.87 per camera, price Hawkeye has spent, (with NO results, I might add).

Just to be clear Hawkeye has squandered roughly $7,000,000.00 SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS,  and has NEVER released ONE photo to the public. Some are arguing that’s because Hawkeye has NEVER captured a single photo of crime, while others say “if you want to get away with murder, do you killing under a Hawkeye camera where no one can see you”.

If you're one of the few, who doesn't feel we've tossed quite enough good money down the Hawkeye rabbit hole yet, then you’ll likely appreciate the new $600,000.00 influx of cash flowing into Hawkeye from the Gaming Grants. Although $600,000.00 may seem like a fortune to hardworking Wilkes-Barre folk, it’s only a fraction of the $1,501,000.00 Hawkeye requested.

I suppose it takes a boatload of cash to produce ZERO images.

Is the District Attorney in bed with the CITY?

One might think the Fed’s storming the City Police Station several times during Chief Dessoye’s reign, followed by the arrests of TWO city police officers, involved in the soon to be huge, Wilkes-Barre Employees Federal Credit Union scandal just might be enough to sway any honest politician from posing for photo opts or making public statements of support for the soon to be ex Thief of Police.

But then again this is Luzerne County…

The Citizens Voice is reporting:

Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said after working with him for over two and a half years, she wishes Dessoye the best.

“He’s been nothing but professional, and we’ve had a wonderful working relationship,” she said. “He’s going to be missed. He is loved in the Wilkes-Barre City Police Department. I’m happy for him and his family.”

WOW Just WOW….

Please remember these statements next election cycle, and as always

Gazette Cartoons Truly Amazing

King Lie-A-Ton Pilfering the Pump

If you've not seen the September edition of the Independent Gazette, then you're truly missing out on all the great cartoons, and I know great cartoons.


You can grab your Gazette FREE of charge at your local Turkey Hill, or at one of their NEW honor boxes located throughout the city.

FREE honor box

The new Gazette honor boxes, are all baring a very funny cartoon, depicting a Mom pointing her finger, and the caption "Your mom reads the Gazette, Act accordingly". The caption likely a warning to the politically corrupt, and the worst part their mothers probably do read the Gazette, if for no other reason, than to see if their child is once again subject to another federal investigation.

Lackawanna County Judge Margaret Moyle

One might think that a private citizen can attend court as an observer, and the press could also attend, but in Lackawanna County, one would be wrong. If your sporting your Muckraker t-shit not only are you considered a known trouble maker, AKA Muckraker, but your likely to be ejected for allegedly recording the proceedings, even though NO ONE has EVER produced a copy of said recording.

Now it is rumored that Lackawanna County is considering implementing a court dress-code in an effort to ban Muckraker t-shirts from court, but my guess is Lou, and company will find a way to print Muckraker on Hats, Ties, Jackets, Pins, even Briefcases, or Cell Phone Covers.  

The Muckraker Timeline

The Gazette Staff, TRUE Muckrakers

That photo just about sums up why the politically corrupt can't stand the Gazette, and due everything in their power to diminish, or dismiss the success of the Gazette.

Just a few politically corrupt quotes, regarding the Gazette:

King Lie-A-Ton: "nobody reads that paper".

Lehighton School Board President Gloria Bowman: "contrary to what you've read in the Gazette, this spending plan is the only option".

Thief of Police Dessoye: It’s all just rumors, and gossip and muckraking,’ Dessoye said

At the end of the day the Gazette has successfully brought to light that which the politically corrupt would prefer remain in darkness, and for that reason alone they will continue to criticize in the hopes that your one of the few that hasn't a clue.

For the rest please consider taking out a Gazette Subscription. For less than FIVE BUCKS a month, it will not only ensure that you NEVER miss a trick, but it will help the Gazette do what the Gazette does, EXPOSE CORRUPTION....

Hawkeye BLIND

One might argue that a security camera couldn’t possible catch every single crime, but how about 300 cameras worth about 7 Millions Dollars that have NEVER caught A SINGLE CRIME????

        

That is exactly what we have with the multimillion dollar money grab we in Wilkes-Barre know as Hawkeye Security Solutions, the citywide network of worthless cameras, but don’t take my word for it, research any case, and you’ll find that if video was produced it was from private security cameras, NOT Hawkeye, even in cases where a much more expensive Hawkeye camera was right next to a less expensive private working camera.

The latest proof of the Hawkeye Money Pilfering Scheme is evident, on Friday night, when some nut went on a rampage, damaging 40 cars, and taking out the windows at the Times Leader Newspaper building all within sight of several cameras, as reported by the Times Leader.

Per the Times Leader "Despite city surveillance cameras at nearly every downtown intersection, city police said Monday they have no suspects in a vandalism spree that damaged at least 40 vehicles and windows at The Times Leader printing facility, all within 300 yards of the city police department." 

Need I say more?

DuhSoye out

For those of you who didn’t quite believe the news when it was first reported by The Wilkes-Barre Independent Gazette we @ WUWB would like to point out that they (the Gazette) were 100% CORRECT once again….

In fact we haven’t been able to locate a story where they were wrong….

But I digress, let’s move on to the story at hand, DuhSoye is leaving WBPD, for greener pastures at Kings College. A position likely bribed and paid for via all the tax FREE property Kings has been able to acquire under this unbelievable regime. 

As I recall when the Gazette first broke this story, just last Tuesday 8/26/14, neither the Mayor (King Lie-A-Ton) nor the Thief of Police would confirm the story.

In fact the Mayor said:

Mayor Thomas Leighton said today he has not received a resignation letter from Dessoye, nor has Dessoye spoken to him about leaving.

• “As of today, Aug. 27, I do not have a resignation letter,”

King Lie-A-Ton’s talking head, City spokeswoman Liza Prokop was also unaware of the situation, and said there is nothing she could confirm as of this morning.

Even the Thief of Police himself went into hiding, as the Times Leader reported on Friday 8/29/14 “Wilkes-Barre Police Chief Gerard Dessoye won’t talk about possible departure”, Dessoye even issued a NO comment through city spokeswoman Liza Prokop, per the Times Leader.

Yet today Lie-A-Ton issues a press release saying DuhSoye will be gone by September 14, 2014, goodness did he even give you a TWO WEEKS notice?
