What do you mean "if" This race should never of been this close. The repubs cant handle leadership as evidence by Stevie Ego Tomassone, Tommy Gun Buchanan, and Gerry Mr Vanity Parisi and his sidekick Pat Sooocozio, and lastly Mr Minority "leader" himself Jimmy Jump shot. Problem with these blokes is that they read their news clips instead of the pulse and will of the people. Stick a fork in all of em it is long overdue IMHO. Tomassone should never have been elected Supervisor albeit by the smallest plurity in Rotterdam history. Less than 50% of the total registered voters turned out. Less than inspiring and is lead by a bunch of political neophytes at town hall namely Greasemer and DiLallo.
Why is Della Villa given a free pass on having the computer contract with the town and yet it was never publicly disclosed??? Why Why Why??? Only in the world of Stevie Ego!!!
Maybe the FBI will find out why he has the "computer contract." Whatever that is.

If Tedisco loses the 20th Congressional District race, there will be wholesale changes to the Republican party leadership starting with Schenectady County and Saratoga County. There is even talk that Michael Steele, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee may be replaced.
Change is needed. The 2010 elections are on the doorstep. The Republican party must find principled leaders with conservative values if it is to return to prominence. The good old boy network must be dismantled to make room for candidates with vision and integrity to take the reigns.
The local Republican Party's leadership obviously does not care about their failures in local races. They continue to run second class candidates and are happy with doing so as long as they can stay put in their positions (eg. no show state jobs/extra paid positions). When will the Republican faithful rise up and remove the current leadership?
And how about Tedisco's inner circle? How pathetic are they for blowing such a cake walk of an election?

Again, it sounds like you have a personal ax to grind. If it weren't personal you would be well aware that this is exactly what ALL of the political parties do. It is clearly not about the so called pulse or will of the people.
It is all about political positioning and political motivations, greed and power. Yes ...and even poor leadership. This encompasses the dems, reps and cons. No exclusions here!
We need candidates who are not under the heavy hand of ANY political party. IMHO

I couldn't agree with you more.

That's not an FBI issue. That is an Ethics Board issue which are obviously in Gerry P and Stevie Ego's hip pocket. How many family and friends on the Ethics Board got assessment redux? There is no axe to grind. Fair and equal assessments for all but what Stevie Ego's brother and other town employees got is criminal! The reval is not the issue The issue is the underhanded bullspit that is alive and well in Stevie Ego's world.
Talk about an axe to grind... What the heck do you call what Stevie Ego and his minnions have done to people.

I'm not agreeing with any of this IF it is true. (too many allegations float around without substance or truth) I think you are saying that these are 'favors'. Right? I take it that you are saying that only some people got their taxes reduced while others were denied. Correct?

U r not that stupid bumble. Pure and simple it is cronyism, favortism and to a certain extent neoptism. All no no in modern politics. Stevie Ego has taken the play book from former Town Supervisors as some sort of rite of entitlement. The money he has doled out to special interest is disgusting and is the same BS that got the Chitown Gov Bloggo indicted. Bought the independent endorse in exchange for a job, lights, cameras, action for the little league compliments of his bagmen for the conserve endorsement consideration. Hire Craig Surprise (DiLallo's NIMo buddy for more money than previous assessor's and assurances that family and friends will see assessment redux.
Ask his confidential secretary how her family member made out on their redux or his bro or his employees or union officials family members. MR QUID PRO QUO How is he not going to be indicted??? Mark my words. No axe grinding just plain cold hard facts!!!
Is this any different from what is occurring in other towns or at the county level? Any impropriety in awards of county contracts, Metroplex funding, hiring decisions, etc.?
I understand your thoughts about the Town of Rotterdam government officials. Does this extend to other areas of the county?
Point well taken LnJ. But the justice system is starting to weed out these bad apples at every level. Again Stevie Ego and his minnions think that its okay because this one does it and that one did it. The Rotterdam Repubs are as corrupt and devious as past and present indicted, convicted and imprisoned pols who chose that road. They are drunk with power. Use the Jimmy Jump shot loss as fallout from the Rotterdam Republican boiler plate for how not to run a campaign. He was Mertz, Tomassone, Parisi, Buchanan, Sherman, Surrada's man.
They are all in a freefall and will end up in the political fight of their lives. Power and greed corrupted Stevie Ego and he has no one to blame but himself for his certain fall from grace!
Ask around town what they think of Stevie Ego. You might be surprised! He is a lying dirty pol with a penchant for waffles! LOL
I would like to know who this so called bagman is from the little league? That statement doesn't seem to hold water. Name names if there is some wrong doing.

pdq I am in agreement over here that these repubs are wrong and illegal but what is this here about the little leaguers since I am not sure there would be wrong stuff with them so explain sir
pdq...it is ALL of the political parties. You just seem to be hell bent on the reps. Not fair! The dems have absolute power and are looking for TOTAL power. Total power is unconstitutional. And the cons are helping the dems cause And the dems deliberately keep the reps out of the circle so they can't even put in their two cents if they had any.
So what is your solution pdq? Godlewski in place of tommasone? GOD HELP US! Do you think that Judy Dago deserves to be re-elected? All of the towns she supposedly represents forgot what she looks like. Ya want a con/cop in office? They are out there with their own nonsense agenda. So what is your solution to all of this?
And this is just Rotterdam. Look at the county legislature. It is an absolute joke at best. The plex is robbing us blind and giving our tax dollar to the select few.
So what now?

Here's what the answer isn't: switching to blank. Then you have no say in the process of candidate selection. This "plague on all their houses" mentality only helps the status quo idiots. Stay and fix your Party-whichever Party it is.
To PDQ-add Joe Mondello and Dean Skeleton to the long list of endangered REPS. Complete flops and many are gunning for them too.
Here's what the answer isn't: switching to blank. Then you have no say in the process of candidate selection.
Switching to 'blank' IS the only answer. There IS 'no say' in the process of candidate selection, unless you are referring to a primary. And in that case, I will relinquish my right to primary but instead campaign like hell and dump monies toward the candidate of my choice.
The reps is pretty much a closed club. No one new allowed in for fear of voting buchannan out. So forget them. The cons are a 'go along to get along' club that's leadership is the cops. No thank you? The dems, well, they have been gaining speed and momentum THANKS to the nonexistent reps and with the help of the cons.
Benny, not even Luke Skywalker can bring them out from the dark side. And all of the cheerleading retorich is not going to make any significant change. Blank is the ONLY way to go. No loyalties. No strong arming. And they are 20,000+ strong!
