A veritable Leftist Orgasm. . .

My 94 year old aunt Mary who immigrated from Italy doesn’t speak English or Spanish so well.

I want an Italian translator at EVERY meeting. Even though we don’t live there :)

And YES, we tried to tell her you need to learn better English but she’d just curse at us in Italian :)

ONLY one that was that stubborn.

“Demands” eh?

Yes, an envirorgasm!

My old college town makes it into the news again . . .

Anyone have any idea what area of Geneva the Foundry was operating from? I don’t ever remember even hearing about a Foundry in my years there.

[NTHockey]

Yep, sure. We’ll crank up the printing presses for Geneva dollars right away.

How ‘bout a new sigh.....

Abandon hope all ye who enter here

Haven’t been to Geneva for 15 years.
As I recall, there are some nice spots around the college, but the rest is
a typical central New York deteriorated town.
There was quite a bit of industry there at one time, but gone now.
I know of foundries that were in Waterloo and Seneca Falls, which are neighboring towns and I’ve heard of foundries in Geneva, but the actual names escape me now.
The town has a significant Hispanic population as I recall.

Oh and ..... enviro flies should be swatted

“An estimated 15% of foundry-zone residents speak only Spanish, making the English-only city council meetings, which provide crucial updates about health concerns and cleanup details, inaccessible to many Genevans.”

NO, we are all (well, some of us) AMERICANS! In any case, here in America we speak ENGLISH! If you can’t speak English it raises obvious questions....

1. Are you an illegal?
2. Are you a criminal
3. Are you a terrorist?
4. Do you hate this country so much that you REFUSE to learn our language?
5. Do you want to live here for all the benefits, but won’t assimilate into the culture?
6. Did you come here to CHANGE America into Mexico?

“Former Geneva Foundry Site

The former Foundry is located on 2.5 acres at 43 Jackson Street, Geneva, NY (Ontario Co.), in a mixed urban residential/commercial neighborhood. A foundry was present at the site from the late 1800s until the 1980s and part of the site was a coal yard until expansion of the foundry in the 1940s. Most of the contamination is offsite and related to historical air emissions from the foundry.”

I read over the site but could not determine exactly WHAT the pollution is/was. Lots of verbiage about bureaucratic procedures, but that’s it.

“Full employment for Tort Lawyers, Bureaucrats and Activists” boilerplate.

Only English and Spanish? What about people who moved from Poland (Polish speakers), Wales (Welsh), Seneca (Seneca), Finland (Finnish), or any other place on the planet. I want all language interpreters at meetings, including an Emeilan-Romagnol (endangered​ language of San Marino) interpreter.
