Right on Bumble! That makes more sense than trying to run conservative candidates. Just get rid of it. Saves lots of money and time. |

I doubt one in a hundred residents could name all of their County legislators. In the City more like one in a thousand. We need to return to a Board of Supervisors-at least people would know their representative. The savings would be significant and no one would miss the old system. The County Legislators meetings are blasts from the old Soviet Union. No debate, no public comment, no one cares, Landslide slams the gavel and everything passes unanimously.
agreed - but that might be toooooo much for some supervisors to handle and you will never get that past the home of Revitalize Rotterdam |

It doesn't matter if he has angered the Hamburg St. gang. He could go over there and take a dump on the center line of Hamburg street and it won't make matters any worse. Members either staunchly support the democrap admin because the leader is promised a huge county funded "Central-Dispatch" facility in the Grand Union building (it will never happen BTW,) or they are tied in tight with the Gelosos who are staunch democraps, or are democrap activists themselves, or live outside of town and can't even vote. Even though the new IDA has done nothing for Hamburg unlike the ST admin's IDA (facade grants) they will remain steadfastly loyal until the day when reality hits, and they realize that they are being ignored, used and taken for granted by the Savage-led county legislators and the town democraps. They may continue to be a massive cash cow that will be milked until the teets come off, but they will go down to the bitter end before admitting they got screwed. How is the Revitalizing of Rotterdam looking for you now?Their people run it all from President Obanga, to Congressman (Taxin' Tonko) to the 2 Senators, Guv, Assembly, and county/town. Every seat except Senator. Of course the democrap party will blame the one odd man out (Farley) and of course the fools will deny reality and believe them when they continue to be the red-headed stepchildren of lore. So, no- they will not back McGarry or anyone else TJ tells them not to back...because "soon, we will build your dispatch center and pave Hamburg St with gold, and put in sewers for free!!!!"
FREAKIN' CHA-CHING!!!!!!!!! It's all about the meat(ball)heads........come on folks wake up....who cares who the hell you are related to... the future is coming and you're getting older and older and older.......SH!T OR GET OFF THE POT you cheap idiots...... |

Many will NOT vote for another liberal socialist and many are tired of waiting for the reps to stop fighting, get their act together and endorse candidates that are worth voting for.
Looks like the independent third party candidates are looking like the best choice. |

That's actually quite interesting, a politician not looking for the large amounts to start, but in fact refusing them, requesting any donation as long as it is BELOW a certain amount. |

When was the last time ANYONE saw any of their county reps that supposedly represent them?
Abolish the county leg and form a board of supervisors!!!!! Have 'direct' representation, get rid of the unnecessary layer of government and save taxpayer's money in salaries and benefits!!! It's a no brainer folks!
I saw them on January 1 ... they are out and about in the community. |

The county leg is an unnecessary layer of government that is removed from the taxpayer's reality. Abolish the county leg, form a board of supervisors and there would then be 'direct' representation and accountability for the taxpayers. The county leg is a waste of time and taxpayer's money!!! A board of supervisors could and would accomplish the same things, if not more, for the taxpayers at about $2M less.
As far as McGarry limiting contributions.....PURE CLASS!! I'm hearing some very positive things from many rotterdamians about him! He has the passion and the desire to serve his fellow rotterdamians!! He'd be a great rotterdam supervisor. IMHO of course. |

Well, tell whoever has them that there's some seriously interested people, if we can get copies. We'll send 'em all packin'. |

That's because anyone who donates more than $99 must be itemized in required financial disclosures. |

Well Kevin why would McGarry need money for his campiagn when I am sure the NNTP will just get funding from RAC again along with help of their employees to gather signatures again for him and any other NNTP canidate as well. |

I don't know that they did, nor do I know that they would (again). The Republicans were already running people, so I would have figured that THEY would be the ones to receive the RAC help, not a third party. |

Blacklantern, I would imagine that McGarry would need to raise money for lawn signs, printed information to hand out at doors and things to mail to voters. I hope you are right about getting people to help with signatures, I would think he needs a bunch. Now that the barn has been cleaned out (the liberal GOP Parisi, Tommasone and the rest) the state party would want to see people who better represent the Republican party instead of Democrat. Can you believe that Parisi ran a Dem on the Republican line, is he CRAZY? I hope the no tax group and the GOP realize what they can do together instead of fighting. |

I believe there will be a degree of civility between the two groups. But I can not see the Rotterdan GOP backing them in the long run. |
