High ranking Lockport town and county officials could face charges

A complaint recently submitted to the Niagara County Sheriff’s Department and Board of Elections has accused government officials in the Town of Lockport of judicial ethics violations and identity theft. If the allegations are proven to be true, several top Republicans could face felony charges.
Among those named in the complaint are Mark Smith, Rick Updegrove, Nancy Brooks, Cheryl Antkowiak and Mark Crocker. They are accused of manipulating ballots prior to primary elections. The complaint claims the following:
In the Town of Lockport all Conservative and Independents petitions circulated were not carried by people of that party, Most were done by Richard Updegrove, Mark Smith, Nancy Brooks, Cheryl A. Antkowiak, Mark Crocker and more. Being all are Republicans this violates notary law when they themselves have interest to circulate petitions not of their own party. Most all of the town elected officials became notaries to get on ballots of minor party lines.”
The complaint also accuses town officials of conspiring to elect town residents to the Conservative Party committee without their knowledge. This tactic allows Republican candidates sufficient opportunity to

Postal Service Losing $42,335,766 Per Day

Postal Service Losing $42,335,766 Per Day

Most of the loss could be eliminated if the Congress would drop the requirement to prefund retiree health benefits for workers not even hired yet. Congress has used the USPS as a cash source supporting their big-spending ways.
The U.S. Postal Service has been losing an average of $42,335,766 per day in fiscal 2012.

On Thursday, the service reported a third quarter (April 1-June 30) net loss of $5.2 billion, bringing its fiscal year-to-date net loss to $11.6 billion.
There were 274 days in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012. Thus the Postal Service has lost, on average, $42,335,766 per day in this fiscal year.
However, those losses have not been evenly distributed over the period. In the most recent quarter, the Postal Service's losses dramatically increased.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2012 (Oct.-Dec.), the Postal Service lost $3.3 billion. In the second quarter (Jan.-March), it lost $2.2 billion.
During the third quarter alone, when the Postal Service lost a total of $5.2 billion, the service was losing money at a rate of $57,142,857 per days.
The Postal Service said that it had to use $3.1 billion in the third quarter to fulfill a legislative mandate for prefund retiree health benefits, significantly contributing to its losses.
