Buffalo: City of lazy bastards. Guess what? Unless your Sick or Old, & the snow on the walk or hydrant in front of your house isn't removed, you are a LOWLIFE, PERIOD. There are people in this city who take pride in not owning a shovel.Every house (Not Vacant) that has not been shoveled yet, usually belongs to the "NEW" people moving into "OUR" neighborhoods. Who relocate every 5 months, because thats how long it takes to evict them. Pedestran who was hit by a plow didn't have a choice, however,dumbells sill walk in the street in the Summer too, just to be obstructional.

Anyone with a CDL. LETS NOT FORGET THAT THERE USED TO BE "TWO" MEN ON THE TRUCK,ONE TO "RIDE SHOTGUN" & ACT AS A LOOKOUT UNTILL THE "CITY" DECIDED IT WAS NOT "COST EFFECTIVE" TWO HAVE TWO EMPLOYEES ON ONE TRUCK. THIS IS PARTLY THE RESULT OF THAT DECISION. MISSING EMPLOYEE #2 WOULD OF BEEN THE DETERMINING FACTOR (NOTICING THE DRUNK DRIVER<OR SEEN THE PERSON WALKING IN THE STREET ECT.), THIS COULD OF BEEN "YOUR LIFE", THAT WAS TAKEN.

Reply: Oh I am sure Al will on top of this one. This ws my exact concern in Blasdell yes a suburb that will not enforce clearing of sidewlaks the main violators businesses and non owner occupied properties. They take te money never fix them up and shovel and then blame the tenant. Not everone who rents is bad. As for the poor sole, I fear this happening to a child in Blasdell and if it does, Cellino and Barnes needs to be on the matter becuase surely this is a definite million dollar event. Why is everyone so lazy when it comes to shoveling their walks. Another issue is the plows push what one shovels back onto the walks. There has to be a better way. If it were not for Al Vaughters and WIVB we would all be up sh....s creek.

Man i grew up on the east side of buffalo and could not wait till it snowed. I was able as a kid to make so much money going from door to door asking who wanted their sidewlaks shoveled. Where is this today???

Wow! If that is true about the girlfriend driving. No wonder they want to cover it up. What a strange twist on this horrible tragedy!

really dont care about my english, just wanted to get the facts out in the public. it would be a shame to let anyone cover this up. time will tell that this isnt a rumor. everyone needs to know the truth, not just a couple of city officials who want to cover this up.

The city of Buffalo is so corrupt. If what's being said about the drivers girlfriend operating the plow, then they should both be in jail for vehicular manslaughter. What happened to Allen Andrew is a tragedy. For the person who posts the racist remarks, grow up. How would you feel if it was a white person who had been hit, and someone wrote racist posts.

Daily Horoscope for December 8

Aquarius

This is a good day for getting on with chores and mundane tasks. You'd much rather get them out of the way than have them hanging over you for any longer than necessary. What's more, you don't want to waste your time by doing things in the wrong order or by being so slapdash that you have to do something a second time. You're setting a terrific example right now!
