Unfortunately one of the problems with being in public life is if you piss people off they won't do business with you anymore...Joe is a big boy and will get over it...He's got the benefit of chocolate covered potato chips to drown his pain

oooo trying to play gotcha avon? Really? ANd yeah its Joe's BROTHER...you guys made a big deal about Tomassone's wife supporting Angelo but now you see no problem with Suhrada's brother supporting FDG?????????????????????????? REALLLY you are all morally and intellectually bankrupt... get your head out of the storm water and breath some fresh air!!

            If we are morally and intellectually bankrupt, we are perfect for the political arena!  Besides, we've had great prior teachers . . . . ahhhhh, a breath of fresh air!

I think those are deer turds you smell....

Time to get out from UNDER THE DOME......

Of course everyone controls everything their brother does, but I did do some checking and found that the brother does some business with Del Gallo and has known him for many years because he is the repairman for the Jacuzzis that FDG sells. I assume this is some kind of "Hot Tub Conspiracy" and it certainly implicates Suhrada because he couldn't demand his brother not to send money to FDG. Makes sense. I know that usually a brother who lives in a separate property in another town is more easily influenced than a spouse. Sure. I don't know about the rest of you but I certainly am able to order my older brother around and he always listens to everything I say. Only natch'

AVON  Just how small is your world not to mention your brain.  I DO live in Albany and own several houses in Rotterdam.  My mother lives there as well and I act on her behalf.  Try  to think bigger next time.

You folks are fools if you think that adult siblings all belong to the same political party and/or support the same candidates.    

As for the issue of supporting or not supporting a business based on political affiliation -- that is just plain foolish, too.    One of my favorite restaurants is run by the family of a past State GOP chairman (not in New York State) ---  we enjoy each others' company when we visit -- and my family enjoys the food they serve ...

but I won't support the business of a person who personally insulted my family members when he came to our door asking for a vote  .. and it wouldn't matter what political party that person belonged to.

Then stop sending the decoy into the store to buy your goodies, you ain't foolin'
anyone....

If you can't handle it- stay out of public office.

Mary go knock on doors!!!!!!!! I find it interesting that GB thinks 1 can control who their wife votes for but not their brother....

Look, everyone knows Steve's wife has no use for politics and doesn't want signs on her lawn. ANY signs. Stop with that red herring. When two people live in a house and are married and both names are on the deed, things don't happen unless both consent. Especially extremely controversial things that effect the other spouse or cause the other spouse heat. A marriage and siblings is apples and anvils. Are you too young and living in an apartment to understand? Your age is showing. It is a good thing you are so smart and know everything. It proves that youth is wasted on the young.

Actually I'm happily married and would never think to tell my wife what she can or cannot do...just like she would never think to tell me what I can and cannot do! We are both professionals and we both do what is best for ourselves then when we come home we don't talk about it...It's nice to see though that you make your wife do only what's good for you and that you don't take her interests to heart you are a wonderful husband.... Assuming you are married of course.

What a great marriage! Congratulations!

It's amazing what happens when you aren't a chauvinist pig!
