Jef Foxworthy material for Mayor-elect Frank Sorick


Satirically, Mr Foxworthy has left me with the following for Frank Sorick's campaign event (details below). Enjoy!

If you have been on a billboard for stealing gas, then you might be at the wrong campaign event.



If your name rhymes with "Satan," then you might be at the wrong campaign event.



If you are wasted and want a cop/taxi ride home, then you might be at the wrong campaign event.


If you think a $250 plate comes with a city contract, then you might be at the wrong campaign event.


             = 


If you think your presence counts towards work release, then you might be at the wrong campaign event.


If you consider the DA your "bff" (best friend forever), then you might be at the wrong campaign event.

Stef and Tom... together forever !  RMA

If you belong to a skanky, corruption enabling law firm, then you might be at the wrong campaign event.
------------------------------------------------------------------
more seriously...
Frank will not be bought. He has earned position of Mayor.
I will not go back on my word when I say that Tony George was the only elected representative to fight 
Leighton and his corruption (Gas gate, Lag Towing, Sherman Hills, and much more). 

However I am uncomfortable with some events since the Primary:

1) I thought it strange that Tony George would hire George Brown's Campaign Manager.

2) Frank and Tony had an gentleman's agreement that they would not have "pay to play" dinners. 
Tony George held one for $250 per plate. This is a HORRIBLE way to pick contractors.

3) The campaign reports draw concern in that it seemed Tony George was overwelmed by these reports. (I do not think there was criminal intent).

4) Since then he said he may solicit help from colleges in running the city. FOLKS... this is a city of 41,000. Is Tony George really ready?

5) Most importantly... it does not seem that Tony George will debate Frank Sorick. This is very telling.

Frank has one of the brightest minds I know. NO W-B resident has put in more of his own time fighting corruption in W-B. He is the most well rounded and deserving of the position. He knows real estate. he knows business. And he knows the law through paralegal work.

Frank has stood by his principles in not attacking Tony George for the campaign report debacle and has not take any money (possibly negligent amounts this coming Sat). If he runs the city in the principled way he has run his campaign then the citizens will be greatly rewarded.

Lastly, ignorant people attack him for tax arrears without considering who he is responsible for. Such ignorant people also don't know that a spare bedroom in his home has been allotted to homeless folks trying to get a step up. He and his wife not only house these people (of different races) but feed them as well. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WHO DO THIS?

Note: I have been promised nothing nor would I take a job with the city.

Huge Salavantis LIE caught on tape


Here is the You Tube link HERE  from the Oct 26 2011 interview from the TIMES LEADER. Scroll to the 14:55 mark.

INTERVIEW
Times Leader: If elected would you be inclines to personally prosecute cases?

Salavantis: I do feel I will prosecutes cases... I believe that to keep on top of things and for people to look up to you and believe that you are a good boss...  you should be in the court room... I believe that.

TRUTH
1) SALAVANTIS HAS NOT TRIED A SINGLE CASE.
2) SALAVANTIS HAS NOT QUESTIONED A SINGLE WITNESS.

 $172,000 of corruption

... and dead weight

SALAVANTIS'S "MOB" AND THE "UNTOUCHABLES"

IS JARED KANE EVER GOING TO BE CHARGED WITH FORGERY AND PURGERY... OR IS DADDY KANE PULLING ANOTHER ONE OUT OF HIS HAT?

OUR NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT:

NOTE:  Leighton's "liar boy" spokesnan was resurrescted via a Salavantis's hire of Drew McLaughlin.







("Baby Kane" courtesy of Steve Corbett)


FRESH NEWS on JARED KANE

1) Apparently, sources say,  Jared Kane has had 3 DUI's and two were thrown out. He blew a mind blowing .267 on the one. he hit two parked cars... a block apart. Question? Who believes a Magistrate should be charged with murder if they throw out a DUI and that person kills someone?

2) Very good word tells me at least three parties will be filing private criminal complaints against Jared Kane for forgery on Monday. PEOPLE ARE IRATE THAT THEIR NAMES WERE FORGED.

3) Confidence in our District Attorney to act on this matter remains very low. One resident commented that Stefanie Salavantis is official property of "Kings and Queens" of Wilkes-Barre... Leightons, Kanes, Dessoyes, Braces, and Judd Shoval. .

4)  Below is posted part of a legal document. Imprisoned "Kids for Cash" Judge Conahandid a favor for his alcoholic buddy Marty Kane. Conahan gave Jared Kane a job. The post below explains that spoiled brat Jared Kane showed up "sometimes" and when he did he was drunk. (Sorry for the gap between the 2 pages).







NEW: JARED KANE...  Condemned Homicide house on petition. Scroll down for more info on Kane.

South Park meets Wilkes-Barre...

Redemption award: WBPD Chief Robert Hughes for humility and earnestmess in new position as chief.

Redemption award: Most of WBPD who carry on in one of the most dangerous cities in the nation and have not resorted to violence (as seen in other cities). They also have to work under a corrupt Mayor.


Redemption award: Prayers to one WBPD officer with cancer. This person is well thought of by many (despite presumed mistakes)

-----------------------------------------------

JARED KANE:
1) FORGERY: DA Salavantis should press charges immediately as we have many people who claimed not to have signed the petition (whose names were on).
2) PERJURY: Jared Kane lied to the notary when he stated that all signatures were valid "under penalty of perjury." Word has it his notary is also his Treasurer. This is too much.



The legal aspects:
1) This case in New York is similar to Jared Kane's fraud. This man spent weekends in jail.   Link HERE    

2) Forgery is to be elevated to a felony of the third degree if the writing purports to be a will, a dead… or other document evidencing, creating, transferring, altering, terminating, or otherwise affecting legal relations. Link HERE

Defense to forgery charges
A)    Lack of intent to defraud or injure
B)   Lack of knowledge that a writing was forged

COMMENTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTY:


"This will also be the end to Salavantis if she let's this one slide too. The public is watching and you're definitely not going to let this one go."

"Do your job now, Salavantis! These people said the signatures are not theirs. Kane signed that he was the circulator of the petition. He verified that he witnessed these people sign the petition. Arrest Kane immediately. I'm so sick of this DA being political." 

"Pure scam. And this pathetic little political hack most likely going to win. 89,000 per year. - 6 year term. Over half million for the little scammer. Forged signatures and this kid might be wearing a justice robe. This is truly underhanded scam. >. This is criminal.. WB voters. - Do not vote for this fraud and poor excuse for a person."

"This is the ultimate in regards to a persons character. Does this really surprise anyone? DUI's, fired from state and county positions....."

"Stephanie (Salavantis), darling, all eyes are on you. It will be interesting to see when and how your coaches are going to strategize the plays for this one. If it weren't so dangerous, it would be absolutely hysterical."

"A wanna-be magistrate who lives with his parents at the age of 33? And you are going to judge people before you? Seriously?"


“Salavantis, do your job. This is crystal clear. These people said the signatures are not theirs. Kane himself signed as the circulator of the petition. Boom. Guilty. Let's see how you get out of this one, Missy DA.

"We are just about to see how corrupt luzerne county is !! The corrupt Kane family will win this election by what ever means necessary !!! Plus having supported DASalaventis in her race against DA Musto Carrol will pay dividends for them !!! Salaventis will put this invitation in the political friends and family file along with Judge Gartley and all the attorneys that were OVER BILLING HE COURT WITH HER PERMISSION !! This county will never change it so sad!!!"

"Kane is such a horrible liar. He's one of the biggest disgraces ever to fall on this ballot. His day will come for sure for this. You think your name will save you? Haha!!"


Master plan? Like what?!? How can he relate to people that have jobs, families and responsibilities? He still lives at home with mommy and daddy. Cut us a break already!
How about, "Kane needs a job sucking of the public teat for the rest of his life?" This name-recognition nepotism needs to end...NOW! The Kiddie-Kane looser needs to go bye-bye.
I will say this again:

if ya got any doubt, then vote to keep him out, No Kane,
try to better your town and don't vote, for that clown, No Kane,
say bye-bye, say bye-bye, say bye-bye, No Kane

"Unbelievable!!!!! Now it's in the hands of Salavantis. Don't worry, Kanes. She'll never take any action. Maybe she'll claim he had no policies or procedures in place so he can't be prosecuted. Oh wait. That was Gasgate. Oh, I know. She'll let Kane hire his own investigator. Oh no. That was Gartleygate a/k/a Stevensgate. This should be good."

Here's how it plays out behind the scenes
Vinsko: (calling Jared on his phone.) Hey dunce, we had them, did you forge sigs? (Jared doesn't answer, he's drunk by now, hell it's Happy Hour.)
Vinsko: (Calling Kathy Kane) Hello Maam, we're working on it, any idea where we can find Jared?
Kathy Kane: (unrecognizable screaming) &%&#$^#&$(#$)#*$(*#*$(#*$(*#*)(*)(**)$&*#^$*&!!!!!!!!!!!!! (pukes in the background)
Vinsko: Yes maam, I'll find out and take care of it. (Hangs up)
Vinsko: (Calls Marty Kane at the local watering hole) Hey Skip, is the old man there?
Skip: Hold on.
Marty Kane: Kane, what's up?

Vinsko: Mr. Kane, we have a problem do you know where Jared is?
Marty Kane: On the bench, BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. (Hic-up)
Vinsko: No sir, seriously do you know where Jared is?
Marty Kane: OK, (hic-up) he went out with the ol lady tonight.

Vinsko: Where?
Marty Kane: Happy Hour, how the he&& do I know, we hang at different watering holes, Why?
Vinsko: Well sir they're asking about the signatures on the petition?
Marty Kane: Take care of it, why are you bothering me? (Hic-up and hang up)
Vinsko: S*&(! Call the Voice. Okay folks, “Obviously, it’s a very sensitive subject with an October surprise-type issue,”
Ya think Vinsko, that's all ya got???????????????????? They're all stooges to the Kane's. Come on Vinsko grow a set and tell us what you really think?"


----------------------------------------------------------------------



NOTES (Copy of petition from Citizen's Voice  HERE)

- Jared Kane owes at least $40,000 to contributors for election fraud.

- Once again, Stefanie Salavantis editorializes for the corrupt saying she is "mindful of the election timing." Note to Stefanie: Please zip it and do your job.

- FBI notified... Salavantis would never turn on Marty Kane's son

- News articles below         Great work, Citizen's Voice !!!

From B Kalinowski of Citizen's Voice)  Terri Bonn-Smith, (#10) one of the five people who told The Citizens’ Voice she did not sign the petition, said she was shocked to see her name on the petition and that she was “angry” over the matter.
“I take my signature very seriously,” said Bonn-Smith, who lives at 262 E. Northampton St. and owns a salon next door,
Bonn-Smith noted that the petition had her name printed in reverse as “Smith-Bonn.” After being shown the petition, which also included her husband’s name, she called him. He said he didn’t sign it either. “That’s bogus,” Sean Smith (#11) said of the signature.
Bonn-Smith said no one approached her about signing a petition for Kane, and even if they had, she would not have signed it.
“I don’t know who he is, so absolutely not,” she said.
Three others — Tara Tesar (#36) , of 105 Rees St., Elizabeth J. Harris (#54), of 130 S. Meade St., and Sara Klinges (#39) of 161 S. Grant St. — told The Citizens’ Voice the signatures in Kane’s petition are not theirs.
“That’s not even close to my signature,” Klinges said.

KING'S COLLEGE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO READ THIS. PARENTS BEWARE!


KING's does not want you to see this. But they know what you are about to read. Several activists made King's aware of the perils of taking on Gerard Dessoye (Head of Security, former WBPD Chief) as a "gift" to the city of Wilkes-Barre in exchange for Leightons' scams and/or secret deals. In fact activists have notified other employers who listened to our concerns and did NOT make the Dessoye hire.

Dessoye
Both Leighton and Gerard Dessoye are alcoholics (caveat: if either has miraculously made it to rehab and can prove sobriety please let me know and I will retract my concerns). "Father" James Ryan is a very, very dishonest man. Bad trees bear bad fruit and I do not think King's will profit from this man. If you lay down with pigs you will get dirty and your reputation will suffer. Holy water can never take the place of integrity.

Ryan and Leighton

Gerard Dessoye protected a drug house while he was chief and was an active addict himself. What were the purposes of his secret meetings with heroin addict Catherine Meehan?
- Heroin and/or narcotics?
- Sex?
- Was he funding the arrangement and was he profiting from the drug house?

These are fair questions when you read the phone logs of complaints to the police and the nature of some of the complaints (below). It is not reasonable to assume the drug house was not protected given the enormous volume of calls made to the police regarding 252 McLean Street.

The calls were made by Brenda Meehan (Catherine's sister) who was trying to protect her young daughter on the other half of the double (254 McLean). Brenda Meehan was financially locked to her living situation as are many people. The house is owned by three sisters which made it complicated.

PARENTS OF KING'S COLLEGE:  I suggest you question the hire of Gerard Dessoye. Do you think KING's actually hired the best man for the job? If Dessoye was using heroin with Catherine Meehan (who spent time in NY prison for stabbing a fetus)... why do you think this behavior has changed? Given that the alccoholic Gerard Dessoye was enabled and just handed a job why would he have reason to quit any addictive behavior? Corrupt cronies have always covered for him to include his brother Mike Dessoye in the courthouse who knew all of what you read below (or he is the worst detective in history).

Given that King's administration knew of Dessoye's deficiencies and hired him anyway... they have opened themselves up to a massive lawsuit if there is a serious incident at King's and Dessoye is impaired. Dealing with the devil brings consequences.  

It would seem to me that the minimum requirement is that the Head of Security is clean and sober. ... but that would make too much sense!!

Described below is just part of Dessoye's wide scale corruption. He was also a key part of "Cars for Cash"...  the massive auto theft scandal led by Leo Glodzik. He allowed cop John Majikes to ride an illegal car for more than a year which may have a tie in to the Credit union scandal and the suicide that occurred. 

Though my pereception and relations with some law enforcement agancies has improved... I stand  by what I wrote a few years ago.

Salvantis and Dessoye....











POLICE REPORTS (sampling) made against heroin addict and former NY state prison inmate Catherine Meehan (attempted murder for stabbing a pregnant woman in the belly). Her boyfriend at 252 McLean Street also a heroin addict.
