Title: Sheriff

Entry: I do not know too much about the challenger in the Sheriff's race, but I do know that the county's holding center is messed up. The state and federal governments are suing the county for access. There are tales of people not having access to basic necessities such as toilet paper and toothpaste. There have been allegations of abuse.

Not that anybody deserves this treatment, but keep in mind that this is the HOLDING CENTER. YOU could find yourself there, even if you have not been convicted. There is no excuse to mistreat a prisoner, but it is even worse when a person has not even had a trial.

I am rarely political online, but this is a human rights issue. Vote today.

Prisoner rights is such a dead end issue. It is tough to get people motivated about it. After all, all prisoners are rapists and murderers, not people with unpaid parking tickets....

What are you doing on estrip? Go back to bed, sicko!

And I guess I'll see if I can go and vote tonight. I am disturbed by the situation with the holding center.

(e:drew) is so right in pointing out that a lot of people in the holding center are just there waiting trial.

Title: Plumber

Entry: Who is your favorite plumber? What's his (or her) phone number?

We only used a plumber once in Buffalo - Hertel Hardware and Plumbing. 716.875.3900. We hired them to install a Noritz tankless water heater. They were on-time and completed the work as promised. We were referred to them by Irr Plumbing Supply. We chose them because they had staff trained by Noritz. We were very satisfied. We are planning to use them again. I'm not sure how competitive their prices are for more mundane plumbing work.

I've never had him do any work for me, but Pat VanDeWater is a friend-of-a-friend, and a really good guy... i would probably call him if I needed something.

Our friend/ regular plumber is good but he also has probation issues which make getting him here tough.

My parents swear by Larry's Plumbing - Licensed - 871-1980. I haven't tried him yet.

Bub Stanley. I don't think his probation officer lets him out of the state, though. ;-)

My favourite plumber quite being a plumber not too long back and is starting a new business in Tenesssee completely unrelated to plumbing! If I have a sink crisis now, I might be totally doomed.
