#FlashbackFridaythe13th

Last year at this time–right before Christmas–while there were 8 positions at the Blasco Erie County Library facing elimination because he had vetoed them from the 2024 budget, the county executive updated his profile picture on his reelection Facebook page with himself pictured as “How the Grinch Stole the Library.” This was after the library lease was signed and protests against the lease had started. This seems to show the disdain that the county executive shows for the library, for its employees, and for taxpayers.

Oh, and this is the same campaign (not official) Facebook page that he has told Erie County residents to use for weather updates during the recent snowstorm rather than the Erie County website, because that hasn’t been updated since before the election.

“The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!

“Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

“It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.

“It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.

“But I think that the most likely reason of all,

“May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.”

~Theodor Seuss Geisel
