The complaint was filed long before election day. However the state(Dems) waited. Obviously didn't want this to possibly affect election. However I don't think you can blame bureaucracy when you are notarizing the signature of someone who is deceased. That could, in many instances, lead to fraud.
She's sounds cranky in her comments to the Gazette, in my opinion. It's almost as if she's saying, "FINE! If you don't want me to do it, I WON'T...it's too much work anyway!"
That's not the attitude I want from any elected official, let alone the town clerk!
if this all wasn't so sad and true it would actually be really funny
Between a supervisor who can't communicate, or allegedly read/write, a town clerk admittedly committing fraud, a city teetering on the edge of bankruptcy (along with it's overtaxed residents) and a city school district in shambles, it's just embarrassing ... this is the crap that cheap novels are written about.

then kudos to parisi for not leaking this before election
I'll believe it when i read an official filing or report : till then iam neutral
How about Dileva? She takes an oath of office to uphold the law and then blames politics when someone is outed for breaking said law. But then again it is apparent the law means very little to someone who is employed by the Sch'dy school district. Unbelievable!

Someone said it was "childish" of Parisi. I think mostly it was evil. In Rotterdam, there is a good tradition that keeps everyone from being embarrassed and that is to hush hush everything and try to cover up. See what happens when you have someone come along and try to destroy progress?...to report it to the state and then not use it in a campaign was terrible. I mean, if he had used it in a campaign, they could more easily say it was "political" but since Eunice is not running again until 2013, I don't really see how it is. All I know is that if someone who was in town government touched my daughter in a perverted way, stole, did underhanded things, built bombs in a school, or even made a mistake like Eunice did by signing off on a couple of pieces of paper (happens all the time) I would not want to say anything because Ms Dileva might have something to say about it and the folks of Rotterdam would hold ME as the bad guy, just like Senders did. How evil, childish and fiendish of Parisi to attack the elderly and be "against seniors." He is a charlatan.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Esposito said she only notarized documents for people whose signatures she recognized from years of services and whom she knew lived in the properties seeking STAR exemptions. She added that she did not notarize documents for strangers. “I know it is their signature. It is not the first time,” she said. “There is no fraud, no intention to circumvent the law
No fraud? Not circumventing the law? Then what is it called? Isn't the law the law? Perhaps this is a common practice for all town clerks?
As far a ND....I was skeptical the day I heard she was running for town board. Just the fact that she is affiliated with the schenectady school system was a 'no' vote for her! I often wondered if her name would be aligned in the raucci case. Time will tell I guess!

My own opinion is anyone who is/was employed by the school district knew of Raucci's exploits. If my suspicions are right how sad that she is a sitting board member in our town.
Sorry--if Eunice signed for disabled folks who couldn't come out--seniors specifically--get off her back. So what. In my opinion she did the right thing. These are people who have known her forever and have voted her in. She extended compassion to these people. Big freakin deal. And btw if a Republican did the same thing, I would applaud it. Sometimes you people--yeah YOU people never know when its time to combine your head with your heart. Broke the law--a little civil disobedience. I don't get the Gazette--relying on your info.
I swear, before me came personally, blah blah...The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I KNOW she was trying to be her usual, kind self. I am CERTAIN she wanted to make peoples' lives easier. I AGREE she has compassion. I feel she was doing just that, but there is a reason why there must be notarization on certain forms and in some instances. Marriage licenses, Death certificates, realty transactions, loan papers, matters for assessments, wills and estates, legal proceedings. Imagine ladies, that you marriage license was found inapropriately documented and sadly one day you seek divorce. Imagine you parent is ill and passes, only to find you have been cut out of your will by your brother. Imagine you come home from a trip and your deed has been signed over by your wife to her new boyfriend. Good intentions...Imagine you are on a mortgage for $300,000 for your ex-husband and your name is notarized. Good intentions.
Anytime I have signed under notarization, the Notary who already KNOWS ME, STILL ASKS TO SEE MY ID.
Eunice is a wonderful lady, but this is poor judgment to the tenth power, and not something we expect from that office.

Right-but who would buy it? Novels are fictional this is stranger than fiction.
What if the people don't qualify for what she's notarizing? Despite the town attorney's assertions that the town received no harm, they most certainly did. So did whatever school district the person was living in (or dead in - after all, how the hell would Eunice know if they were alive or dead?!) See, the STAR exemption knocks $$ off your assessed value. If they get a $30K reduction for it, then the function of town and school taxes (somewhere around $20 per thousand on avg. for both school districts) is NOT BEING COLLECTED!
For each time Eunice notarizes a document for one of these people (who knows how many!) That's upwards of $600 in tax dollars that is being washed away by Eunice. Mullally may be getting grants for $50K (I doubt it) and paying for her job...but Eunice is destroying this town.
Oh yeah...for those of you who picked up on it...we pick up the share of taxes that aren't paid!
If it is for the enhanced STAR exemption--you have to be a senior. Enhanced START gets filed each year. She wouldn't be giving it to younger people. GB those are all good scenarios--they just don't work in this case. No I stand behind Eunice--sorry. I understand why everyone is upset but it doesn't trump why she acted inappropriately. She is a good person and has been a loyal town administrator--which btw you can't say for many of those who have worked in TH. NO--I Support her.
Don't all jump on me over this please. It is the way I feel. I support Eunice. Taking away her ability to notarize is just stupid.
