Thruway employee still faces hearing

Reduced charge? I don’t think so. ACD? NO! If this had happened in the private sector he would have been fired no questions asked. Not in NY where union employees are protected.

Wow, what an honor. I have never been given an award like this before. I have to say, I could not have made such an impact with out the help of my friend Carl Paladino. Carl helped me get all the information that is in the website noGItolls.com So Thank you Donn for putting me in for this, Thanks to the Editorial board and Thanks to Carl for the help.

This Bill was written by Senator George Maziarz and myself at the end of 2007, it was introduced in the Senate in 2008. Went through all the committees and then failed to make it to the floor at two different times. Why? We are not sure but we deducted that Bruno and Silver stopped it from coming to a vote, they knew it would pass and even though all our politicians claim they want to eliminate the “Authorities” none of them even move at the chance to start downsizing the Thruway Authority.

Last night Wednesday May 27th Senator Antoinne Thompson had a meeting with LaSalle Pride in Niagara Falls. I was bound and determined to pin him down and get him to reintroduce this Bill into the Senate this year. This has already been done in the Assembly and you can see the names on it as cosponsors and the Bill sponsor Sam Hoyt. Why not the Senate? Thompson is the Senator from this district and as a Democrat he is the one with the power now to not only introduce it but, to get it to the floor and get it passed. He told me, “When the Democrats take over the Senate, the tolls will come down”. I have been patiently waiting but as the year has crept by my patience has gotten very thin especially after I got the Governor to agree to sign the Bill into Law at the March 4th town hall meeting in Niagara Falls.

I was actually shocked that the thruway authority via Donna Luh did this so fast. Apparently the media coverage was great, the public pressure intense enough they had no choice but to step up and do the right thing. Not only has the feedback been incredible toward me, it has also been that way with the media. The local newspaper (Grand Island Dispatch) has been receiving calls and emails demanding coverage and calling for Zelonis to be fired. So all of this is not just me, supporters have done this too! So Thank you all, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the support.

Now, just think what we can do when we all work together as a team! Albany! Can you hear us yet? Better start listening.

I have to say, I have never seen media chase down anyone like I saw them chase down this guy. After he was read the riot act by the Judge they ducked out the back door and the media followed from the rear and chased him down in to the car and some even followed him to his house. He refused comment and simply walkked away. His Lawyer said, “Tricks are for kids” Quoting Denny Crane. Maybe that is where he went to law school.

Well there he is the cyberstalker and toll taker. Does he look familiar to anyone? He does to me now and it seems he has been there forever all the time hating his job. He is a coward and refuses to even look at me. Maybe now he will face reality that he violated thruway authority policy for close to two years, blatantly doing what HE wanted to do while saying to hell with his bosses. He is a miserable human being, ask his neighbors.
Thank you Carol Ennis for taking the time to write this to the Buffalo News. Your comments are comforting.

Last night I finally saw the coward that has been threatening me for close to two years. The guy is a coward. Watch the video clip below.

The only movement on the toll issue has been backwards. Who’s at fault for this? Senator Antionne Thompson. Instead of reintroducing the one Bill that would actually work and the one the Governor said he would sign still has not moved because this year a Democrat has to do it and Thompson is the one that needs to do it. How can the governor sign into Law a Bill that has not been submitted? He can’t and Thompson is completely at fault. This year he submitted a bill that asks the thruway authority to do it, a bill that will have no effect and will not work. Another lying, loser represents this district.
