They were hard working, and nice, and my uncles and grand father knew the older ones. I never heard a bad word spoken about them. But that aside, isn't is nice that these old families still retain some respect and remind people in Kingston that hard work alone will get you ahead in life. I admire people like them and I tell my children that no matter what your lot in life, if you work hard and persevere, you will go far. I think it's great that Betty Spada's 70-something yr old sister is still going strong as a county legislator. We could all learn from them. Politics and personal feelings aside, you have to admit they are to be admired! That's all I have to say about this. There are certainly more pressing issues in this town than who we like, or dislike.

I have read with the interest the comments made here with respect to my father Michael. <br />As Mr. Blaber does a wonderful job with his blog and attention to detail, I thought that he would appreciate the facts being said.<br /><br />First, yes Jeanette Provenzano is my father's aunt was my grandmother's sister.<br /><br />Second, the fine with the RRA was for 706.00 NOT 7,000.00.<br /><br />Third, the fine was NOT for not having insurance. Our driver's were independant contractor's at the time we started to work for the County and as such we not required by LAW to carry worker's comp. However, when the RRA notified ME, that they needed this, I IMMEDIATELY had the insurance put in place within a 24 period. Further, our insurance agent is NOT Ryan Insurance.<br /><br />Fourth, the fine WAS paid back to the RRA by Spada Trucking and NOT the county or the taxer payers.<br /><br />Fifth, It is a good thing for the County to have county taxer payers doing work for them as opposed to outsourcing to other firms so they can spend our tax dollars in their county.<br />Thank you Mr. Blaber for this opportunity to clarify this issue.Annyomoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141607329690161180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-13567044829712503122011-01-21T22:48:49.500-05:002011-01-21T22:48:49.500-05:00The fine was $6,902 and Mr. Spada receives most of...The fine was $6,902 and Mr. Spada receives most of his tickets by parking in the handicapped zones uptown.
