Joe Musso

Joe Musso announced that he is going to run for mayor of the city of York.
I actually agree with one of his goals: “— Promote a police chief from within the police ranks.”
I’ve always supported promotion from within. Promotion from within encourages people to do their best in expectation that they may someday earn a promotion. I’m not just writing about police departments. Too many companies are run by people with the “give the new administration, management, supervisor position to my old (college, other company) friend”.
Now it may seen ok to the HR manager who doesn’t give a shit. The message it sends to the rank and file who worked hard for years is “fuck you, I don’t give a shit about you or the company. I’m just here to line my own pockets.” It also says to the rank and file people who worked hard— “don’t bother giving 110 percent because your hard work is not going to be rewarded.”
Back to Joe Musso. Here’s the problem. Years ago when he first got on the York city council, he bought city owned property for pennies on the dollar from the city, and then he turned around and sold the property at full market value. I believe he pocketed a nice profit too. There was an article in the local newspaper about it when it happened.

You have another Shyster in your midst..Curtis Sliwa of the Guardian Angels. Back in the 90’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani of NYC donated city property in Times Square to Mr. Sliwa for use as G.A headquarters. In fact Curtis Sliwa asked for donations to renovate the building( he got $100,000) on his radio show then, Guess what? Like Russo, Sliwa sold the thing for full market value before Rudy G left office and has his headquarters in Brooklyn now, In this case Sliwa did break the law but Rudy protected him. For more on Sliwa

It is an interesting read.
I was neutral on the Guardian Angels, however being affiliated with that son of a mob boss Giuliani doesn’t help.
