I don't care what the court decides to call the private land where the killing is going on. Call it a donation. Call it a special hunting haven. The point is that the taxpayers are paying for this municipal deer killing program. Thus, the taxpayers deserve to know where their money is being spent. This is a no brainer.<br /><br />LenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-71306798172024079092016-12-12T08:45:58.633-05:002016-12-12T08:45:58.633-05:00Since this tread concerns the local press and how ...Since this tread concerns the local press and how they operate, here is another story concerning the P-G:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wtae.com/article/post-gazette-refuses-to-print-not-a-murderer-in-veterans-obituary/8477066" rel="nofollow">Post-Gazette refuses to print 'not a murderer' in veteran's obituary</a><br /><br />I was in the USAF from 1966 to 1970, and had this "How many babies did you kill today?" question asked of me, so I understand the Ryan family's angst.RGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-3024090951683353252016-12-11T22:54:28.808-05:002016-12-11T22:54:28.808-05:00*arsenal

As center of her own universe, she feels that I am contributing to the problem because I report minutiae like our MLPD who was suspended until his PFA hearing is over. It is perfectly normal to have an arsenol of guns so large that the Washington County Sheriff's office couldn't store them. I don't deserve to know anything about the killing of deer. She also forgets all the horrible things that Linfante made up about me, the verbal assalts by Vuono and Morgans, not to mention Morgans' passive agressive behavior to residents. <br /><br />But you see, I need to spend my energy on positive things like letting the world how lucky I am living in a Norman Rockwell painting. I was once reminded of that at a school board meeting in 2010.<br /><br />I am feeling defeated and really don't have the strength to fight for what's right anymore. Even the Steelers are dealing with a game delay over something that I fought against. But money talks in this community and I live in the wrong part of Mt. Lebanon. I hate the politics here. <br />ElaineLebo Citizenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936908236243700005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-10298707206425862492016-12-11T14:39:47.329-05:002016-12-11T14:39:47.329-05:00Of course they won,,, I didn't expect anything...Of course they won,,, I didn't expect anything else.. the rich and powerful always get they way....ie look at how they get their properties exempt from being on the Allegheny county realestate website.. and I always remember the Marge Sable fiasco..<br />they always manage to seal their bad deeds...no matter how much money we raise... <br /><br />and what about Margaret Hooton.. the music teacher at one of the nursery schools, she has been a very very strong vocal advocate for the killing.. but of course she lives in one of those huge houses on the 400 block of Jefferson.. and a fence just wont fit in with the neighborhood. Ms. Hooton is quite the contract to various members of the Pittsburgh Symphony who live in Lebo also and spoke passionately against the killing of the animals at the Commission meetings last year...so when Ms. Hooton is singing to your young kids you now what is really in her heart....

By silencing you, they sent a larger message to the community about their desire to stifle dissent, fight back and dismiss. They have failed to care and in their callousness, they have created great strain in the community. It is a sad state of affairs.

I worry about all the teens who may take a shortcut when it's dark. I worry about pets. Is there someone in my neighborhood killing deer?

Also, thanks again to those who donated to my gofundme account.<br /> <br />I started my seventh year running this blog on November 30. I am really at the end of my rope. Today's affirmation is devastating to me. I have lost all faith in government and the judicial system. Read my letter to Dan Miller under the Unity rally post.<br /><br />And to those haters who write to the media about my case, Commonwealth and Common Pleas judges recognized that there was no intent to harass any "donors." The Office of Open Records ruled in my favor TWICE that this information should be public. I thought it should be public for our safety, but the courts thought otherwise. I'm extremely disappointed because I thought that transparency would prevail. <br />ElaineLebo Citizenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936908236243700005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-2487313140929278882016-12-09T17:33:43.427-05:002016-12-09T17:33:43.427-05:00A search of the Internet for "Cpl.

One was the Barbara Miller story in the Washington <a href="http://www.observer-reporter.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?avis=OR&date=20161206&category=NEWS01&lopenr=161209698&Ref=AR&profile=1333" rel="nofollow"><i>Observer-Reporter</i></a> from 6 December 2016, and the other - which just popped up about an hour ago - is on <a href="http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/12/09/report-judge-denies-officer-defendant-in-pfa-case-use-of-duty-weapon/" rel="nofollow">KDKA</a>. I realize that this is a Washington County story, but that should not have any bearing on how the local media cover it. We've all seen stories in the newspaper and on TV about "local" events that happened outside of Allegheny County. <br /><br />Cpl. Hughes deserves due process, but the right of due process does not eliminate his current situation as being newsworthy.RGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-35059713443571770102016-12-09T16:28:58.817-05:002016-12-09T16:28:58.817-05:00The real tragedy is that MTL has so many people wh...The real tragedy is that MTL has so many people who are eager to donate to a hateful, wasteful, and ineffective program.<br /><br />We may not know who they are.
