The comparison, I believe, is the 'amount-of-time-in-office'. How-many-years-has-JT-been-in-office? How-many-years-has-GA-been-in-office?

bumble this has NOTHING to do with seniority. This has to do with the difference between a legislator and a politician Greg Ball, for example, took office in January of 07, George in July of 07, so obviously Ball has 7 months on George but Ball has Prime sponsored 79 bills, of which 2 were of a local nature, and 77 would have statewide affect, including various tax breaks, stiffer criminal penalties, and adding more transparency in government.
In contrast, George Amedore has been the prime sponsor of a whopping 23 bills, of which 8 were of a local nature, and 15 would have statewide affect. That has nothing to do with seniority.

JT has passed one dog law in decades in office. He stopped the illegal licenses? Give us a break. That was stopped by the many County Clerks that stepped up in that in a massive rally at the Capitol.
JT gave budget solutions? To who? They were so good we still don't have a budget. This is all about helping a friend and going out with a bang.

Upstate assemblyman Greg Ball accused of stalking former girlfriend
By Glenn Blain Daily News Albany Bureau
Wednesday, August 27th 2008, 1:55 AM The ex-girlfriend of Westchester and Putnam county Assemblyman Greg Ball put out a restraining order on him and has accused him of stalking and threatening her. The ex-girlfriend of Westchester and Putnam county Assemblyman Greg Ball put out a restraining order on him and has accused him of stalking and threatening her.
ALBANY - Old skeletons are about to burst out of the closet of an incumbent Assemblyman in the heat of a bitter re-election fight, the Daily News has learned.
A CNN producer and former girlfriend of Republican Assemblyman Greg Ball of Westchester and Putnam counties got a temporary protective order against him on grounds he stalked her and threatened to destroy her career.
The order sought by Linda Fern Roth - a copy of which was obtained Monday by the Daily News - also contended Ball even told her he had a transmittable sexual disease that he had never told her about.
Contacted by The News on Monday, Ball, a first-term Assemblyman locked in a heated GOP primary with former Brewster Mayor John Degnan, denied that a restraining order was ever issued. He also blamed his opponent for orchestrating a smear campaign.
"This was not a criminal matter and there were never any allegations of violence," Ball said an email sent to the Daily News early Tuesday.
"It was just a heartfelt breakup where both parties jointly requested a 'cooling off' period, and the entire matter was mutually dismissed. My life is an open book, and always has been."
Ball's lawyer, William Francis Xavier Becker, also told the Daily News Monday evening there were no "no findings of fact" in the case and that both sides decided to drop the matter.
Leah Gurowitz, a spokeswoman, for the Washington, D.C., court system confirmed to The News that a temporary restraining order was issued in July of 2003.
No permanent restraining was ever issued and the matter was ultimately dismissed in November of that year, she said.
Roth got the order after complaining to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia's Domestic Violence Unit that Ball repeatedly showed up at her home and called her friends and workplace in a bid to locate her. He even showed up at CNN's Jerusalem bureau looking for Roth.
At the time, Roth was the senior producer for CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer and had recently returned from an assignment in Iraq. A little more than a year later, she married a U.S. Marine she met while on that assignment.
At the time, Ball, was in the U.S. Air Force and assigned to Bolling Air Force Base in Washington.
In her complaint, Roth also claimed that Ball "threatened to destroy her career and reputation" and Ball told her he had a "sexually transmitted disease but has been keeping it to himself."
Roth did not return telephone calls seeking comment.
Ball held a press conference on the issue early Tuesday afternoon, in which he acknowledged the order, but denied telling Roth he ever had a sexually transmitted disease.

Perhaps GP got his threatening post card from the exact same people who did all of this to BALL!! Perhaps?

It's amazing how much dirt you have on Greg Ball, you don't work for the Assembly by any chance do you? I just saw that information on the Assembly's website, sorry if I didn't have time to try to find every hatchet piece an operative ever came up with against him....
Wow bumble no response since 530 on friday I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that you work for the ASSembly...
Nope.....went to a friend's camp for a surprise birthday party. There really is life beyond rotterdam. And I work in the private sector......k?

Perhaps you and Amedore should stop caring so much about beyond Rotterdam and care about this area...
Spidey, no matter how you spin your web, and you do spin it.....GA has the support of almost everyone I know. They view AS as a socialist, liberal flip flopper with only his own personal interests in mind. And they view GP as part of the rotterdam dirty politics that it is famous for!
Most politicians that have served in rotterdam, do not fair well out of rotterdam. AS knew that. Rotterdam's politics are the laughing stock of the capital district.
