1:45:40 "i think the system failed my father, and, again, it should have been done a long time ago.

You could have built a new house in that amount of time" mr. cucharale has since passed away.

People said the house is an eyesore" attorney general james was in town that day to announce $9 million in funds, to 48 municipalities across the state, including utica, which got $200,000.
