COEYMANS:
BRAVO! YOU DID IT!

The Voters of Coeymans Saved the Day for the Town and its Residents! Voters stood up and let their voices be heard! Boehm & Rogers get the boot. Now Supervisor Flach can get the important things done, like clean up the Coeymans police department? Boehm is out. The next one should be Darlington and with him his little clique of thugs.

NICE JOB, NEW BALTIMORE!

But you could have and should have done better!

Do you think that the fact that the Hudson-Catskill Newspapers (Ravena News Herald, Greene County News, Daily Mail) refused to publish your Republican, Conservative and Independence party-endorsed candidates might have screwed up the election in New Baltimore? Why else would two very qualified candidates, Russo and Vadney, have lost to two very unqualified insiders? Think about that. You should tell John B. Johnson, chairman, and Mark Vinciguerra, publisher, what you think of their discriminatory, unfair, unbalanced coverage of the candidates and their unfairly influencing the elections. Here are their emails:

We have a big bone to pick with the Greene County Board of Elections, too, and will demand some action from the Office of the Attorney General and from the Secretary of State. We think the Republican, Conservative, and Independence party-endorsed candidates, no matter whether they were successful or not, should join together and demand an explanation Why? the Greene County Board of Elections did nothing in response to the unbalanced coverage of the candidates. You can read on the Greene County BoE website: “The right to vote in the United States is one of our most important constitutional guarantees and we make every effort to insure that the election process in Greene County is administered in a fair, efficient, and professional manner.” OK. It’s not! In fact, we feel that the residents and voters of the Town of New Baltimore, no matter what their persuasion, should demand that Greene County Election Commissioners Thomas J. Burke and Brent Bogardus both tender their resignations! They’ve both proved themselves to be useless, impotent, and irrelevant! If you agree, tell them so! Here are their e-mails:

But all things considered, New Baltimore gave O’Rorke the boot and send a definite message to her control-freak minions, Angelis and Schrauf. By doing that the Town of New Baltimore saved its ass and opened the way to government by the people, and very possibly to some really positive developments in the Town of New Baltimore itself as well as in cooperative undertakings with its neighbors to the North and to the South, the towns of Coeymans and Coxsackie. Now is the time for peacemaking and collaborative efforts to ensure mutual growth and sustainability!

♥ These candidates had the endorsements of the Republican, Conservative and Independence parties. Three lines on the ballot!
¿ These candidates were not registered in any party nor were they endorsed by any mainstream political party whatsoever and had to resort to local ragtag parties like the “Our Town” or “Responsible to the People” parties, totally invented parties.
◊ Dianne Jordan was the biggest scam artist in the running. She wasn’t endorsed by her own party, the Republican party, so she ran as a democrat, endorsed by the obscure invented party, the “Responsible to the People” (Diane Jordan) party. If you feel scammed, you ought to.

Mr Supervisor Dellisanti and Councilpersons Ruso and van Etten: Our recommendation would be to include Ms Vadney and Ms Russo on your committees as ex officio consultants or as permanent member with special credentials (for a reasonable stipend, of course, with the approval of the town council). We thought they’d have been wasted in the dead-end, dead-head positions of clerk and tax collector. It would be a shame to waste such talents and gifts, particularly given the fact that as a campaigning team you worked well as a team but each spoke his or her mind and didn’t get bullied. That’s something we need in local government: thinking team members!

Best of Luck and Success to Both Coeymans and New Baltimore! You did GOOD!
