It seems so long ago–but we just got word tonight that an interview we did back in Oct when Sundance was here–is on the air and the web! Here is a link to a podcast from an interview by Joyce Kryszak of WBfO–featuring Jon Markle, David Bennink (our consultant) and Michael Gainer–who had a sore, raspy throat at the time.

I sort of glanced over this the other day, but Dick Kern pointed out that this could be very good news for Buffalo and trying to serve warrants out of Erie County.

This is very belated but very good news.

Serving the outstanding warrant on merely one of the 1000 or so deadbeats could possibly pay for the whole program. Jesse Isaacs of downstate Garnerville owes well over $100,000 in Housing Court fines.

Hopefully Isaacs, who has never chosen to appear for his dozens of court dates, will be among the first to get a ‘free ride’ to Bflo!

Isaacs is again scheduled on his three active cases in Housing Court on January 9 to be sentenced on his three convictions. Hopefully he will be just across the street from City Court by then. Part of his sentence might appropriately be a “GET OUT OF JAIL” card, but not free.

It should cost about $100,000. Then perhaps a few more of Bflo’s dozens of housing criminals could be more quickly arrested with his contribution.
