A few years ago, a 5th ward resident phoned Mayor Tom Gallagher and complained about the north-facing sidewalks and curbs on Groton Avenue. The resident requested that the DPW repair broken curbs and sidewalks, and fill in depressions between the sidewalk and street. Tom Gallagher said he would "look into it."
Nothing happened.
A few months passed and the irate resident walked to City Hall and found the mayor in his office. The mayor invited the resident in.
"What's on your mind?"
"I'll tell you," the resident commenced. There followed a long monologue of complaints which included curbs, sidewalks, blue bins and blue jays. Concluding his remarks, the resident said:
"You've got the best smile in Cortland but you don't do nothin'!"
Mayor Tom Gallagher smiled in response.
