GOOD. Maybe she finally came to her senses and she's gonna fix the waterfront and the roads, the inner loop and the schools.
Oops, maybe not.

Stay strong Mayor Duffy. Hopefully you will not back down in the next few days. The People of the City actually do NOT want this 'thing'. Granted the $$ won't come to Roch, but at least they might be put to a better use at a later time....or not. But whatever, we don't need Ren Square!

Is this woman deaf and dumb? The citizens of Rochester do not want to give up this amount of real estate taxes for her and her cronies. Maggie move some of the county property from your taxrolls for your fansty.

Enough!! I don't know many people that even want this. It never ceases to amaze me how much time is taken up with this useless crap. If only this much effort was put into things that REALLY matter to Rochesterians!

Maggie it isn't even about the project anymore is it? You are in a load of sheete Ms. Brooks. The song Lawyers, Guns and Money. "I'M THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER, BUT SOMEHOW I GOT STUCK. BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. AND I'M DOWN ON MY LUCK". I am amazed and insulted by the ignorance you must possess to think this community is so clueless about you. Well, then again we did put you in office.(How indeed could that have happened with the public so anti-maggie? Maybe you had a lot of help from just a special few. Run for cover girl, your about to feel the heat from the law of the people, and oh yeah the law of maggies world. UT OH. I say you deserve to pay the price for doing the unethical, immoral, illegal moves to get who knows what for God knows who. Bite me!

Ms. Brooks....the taxpayers of this city and county do NOT want Ren Square. It's another Fast Ferry-type money pit! Are you nuts...or plain stupid?

"spend seven million of someone elses money." to demolish someone elses property to do what you wanna do How about taking that 7 million to re-hire a few teachers, or art supplies, sports programs. OR WILL IT GO TO YOUR 250. AN HOUR LAWYER. You in your own words showed us finally exactly how you think.

At first I was against the theater. Then I changed my mind when I found out that they were going to have hand puppets. I like hand puppets.

Level the block, put in some planters and benches and picnic tables and trees and such. It would be much cheaper, look a heck of a lot nicer, easier to maintain and make a real nice place for surrounding residents to enjoy. We have enough theaters, plenty of other space for MCC and the busses don't really cause any severe problems that I have seen.

In many of my conversations about this project,I have hardly come across anybody in favor of it. If it was put to a vote by the citizens of Monroe County I'd say 75% or more would be against it. Mayor Duffy you have increased ten-fold the number of people who respect & admire you for speaking out against this project. All I know is that if you ran for County Executive you'd win hands down cause you wear your heart & open gov't on your sleeve & while Ms. Brooks runs a Monarch type gov't that makes you wonder who in the back room is profiting from her helm. Just keep in mind Mayor you'd still be helping the city as a County Executive & bringing trust back into the county gov't & region !

Brooks must have potatoes growing in her ears if she can't hear everyone saying "WE DON'T WANT THIS!" Give it up Maggie!

I've seen the news conference, I've read the statement, I've no longer got any reservation or doubt. The shift in your my way , take me, bring me, buy me attitude is all of it. Desperation doesn't become you maggie. But it's nicer to watch than your brazen immitation of Leona Helmsley of the past. Cheer up , we are gonna give you a glowing recommendation to : Bernie Madhoff, Enron , AIG, and oh yes, the Federal Prosecuter. Bye, bye.
Happy In Rochester

Brooks does not compromise so she should stow this load of manure.
