A buddy of mine just brought over an Amedore sign which now sits on my front lawn. It's probably the only one in Woodlawn so I've got a night-scope camera on it with a seven-day vcr so that when some nut-job from the Democratic party decides to steal it, I'll have them on tape.
I vote for Amadore. He may be a business man, but I don't think he's a greedy one like many CEO's.
I've noticed, and did a little looking up stuff, regarding him voting those tax increases. I've read I think it may have been in the paper or the schenectady board like this one how the democrats said no to the republican mayor when he wanted a trash fee. But when a democrat mayor was in, and full democrat council, they put through that trash fee. So you see what the democrats do. Kind of on that basis alone I would stay away from Kosiur, and I don't know if he was on the council when they voted for the increase.
I have mixed feelings on sex offender law. But I think the things Amedore has suggested would be better. I couldn't imagine anyone in Duanesburg voting for Kosiur now. The political analyst wannabee is showing (I don't really want to be one, but whenever we discuss like this, we have that talent). I wonder about Montgomery Co. I heard on the news turn out is heavy there. What does that mean? I don't know enough about their tax situation to know if anything in Schenectady would make a difference. It depends on what people think of the sex offender law. If they think offenders could wind up in Montgomery co, they might vote Amedore. If they think Kosiur's law could potentially wind up meaning offenders would have to leave the state in the long run, that could be pleasing.
I also don't know what the party breakdown is of Montgomery county nor know how political they are
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
2006 elections: In the gubernatorial race, New York elected Democrat Eliot Spitzer over Republican John J. Faso, with 69% of the vote. For Senate, the state re-elected Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton over John Spencer, with 67% of the ballot.
Presidential politics: Montgomery County supported George W. Bush in the last election. According to unofficial vote totals for 2004, Bush received 10,645 votes and Kerry received 8,833 votes.
In the November 2000 race, the outcome in Montgomery County was quite close. Countywide, 9,765 people voted for Bush and 10,249 voted for Gore. Nader received 487 votes.

He is from Rotterdam but maybe the Assembly does not list Rotterdam separate as part of 105th district.....we must be considered just a 'tag along town'???
