I basically just ignore PDQ! And obviously no one on this message board takes him/her seriously to say the least. We all know he/she is a democratic hack. That was a no-brainer!!!

The only reason you didn't see what I wrote is because the built in censors translated everything to "you &@(*$&$(*^&@$^ piece of *$^%*($Y^." It got lost in the transaction, so I deleted the entry.
Mr. PDQ&^%*$^()*^)( Attack the issues, not the person - that's a familiar mantra on another local forum. It seems to work well there, and in real life.
My platform is that I am a taxpayer who is not happy with the do-nothing Republicans in this county, town and state. What has any of them done to make for a better quality of life for my kids? Where's the park on W.Campbell that Tomassone and Mertz touted??? Any one with half an ounce of integrity knows that Tomassone's tax decrease was a result of the re-val. Where is the Republican economic development???? The county Dems have done more for the economic development of this Town than Tomassone, Mertz and Siggy could ever dream of. Where is the "open" government??? You go to Town Hall and you never see Tomassone or any of them there. Too busy with their own patronage jobs in the county and state goverments.
When the going gets tough they spew venom about Constantino. Your former Republican County Chairman (Tebano) is also a child abuser. You whip Ed Kosiur about his educational background yet George Amedore has no more than a High School diploma. Hey I like a fair fight and most of you Republican sympathizers are nothing more than common hypocrites who can't handle the political pressures associated with being elected leaders.
Get used to it because there is a change coming and everything is fair game. Patronage, education, residency, legal fees, budget gimmicks, FBI investagations, no-show jobs, bid-rigging, conflicts of interests, questionable contracts, unpaid taxes, late campaign filings, intimidation, to name a few issues. Buckle in Republicans there is a new wave of discontent brewing and his name is "Reggie Hammond." ROTFLMAO
What do you mean by "do nothing republicans"?? Does doing nothing mean not signing police contracts that pay your cop buddy's $90K a year to retire? Or have the school board cave to the teacher demands and give them a over inflated contract? Or keep an incompetent assessor in a position because his daddy is some sort of town folk hero. Please PDQ, your overt bias for democrats is shameless. Instead of telling all of those who read this forum the Republican short comings, tell them ideas which democrats have enacted or proposing, and it's proven success. And please.....be specific.
LOL Cicero take off the rose colored glasses. Tomassone, Buchanan and Surhada will go down in the annals of Rotterdam politics as being the least effective leaders of either party. Steve Tomassone's administration is no better than Joe Signore's. Two terms and out. John Mertz tasted a nasty defeat at the hands of Tonko that doesn't bode well for re-election and Signore has been reduced to emptying garbage cans at the county jail and has the nerve to seek a pay raise. Maybe Joe should consider the empty soda cans in the County dumpsters to supplement his income instead of saddling the taxpayers with that golden nugget.
How about the inflated raise in salary for Town Hall staff and elected officials, in particular an assessor who needs a road map, telephone book and a lesson in whose is who to get through his daily routine.
The Democrats brought stabilty, knowledge, history, along with a feeling of togetherness. This crew craps all over our Town Clerk, employs people based on political leanings and lacks the integrity that the Democrats brought to make the Town of Rotterdam a Nice Place to Live.
I have no use for Steve Tomassone and crew because as a new resident to this town, I don't trust them! Tomassone and Mertz and Signore promised they would deep six the reval and all they did was make a decent family man with a family the scapegoat and put him on the street! I don't even know the man's father or him but I find some compassion for a guy just trying to do his job.
Oh and how about DellaVilla's invovlement with the Schalmont teachers contract? Is that fair game for future campaigns? The retirement clause for the Rotterdam police was in place long before Rick Collins retired. In my opinion John Mertz got too emotionally invovled with that based on his "friendship" with Collin's brother-in-law, none other than Mike Griesemer.
So again Cicero, do your homework and admit you have a different "interpretation" of what is real!!!!

Well Cicero the Town of Rotterdam residents are not accounts. Rotterdam employees do their best to be exceptional public servants. Mr. Macejka is a trained professional who obviously enforced the rules that he swore to uphold to the best of his ability. The man was a prominent fixture in town hall following the distinguished career of his Dad. You might want to check your obviously big ego at the door the next time you visit Town Hall. These are under paid human beings just trying to survive the daily grind of waiting on people of your ilk. Get a frickin life!!!
You don't know his father, yet you know his father had a distinguished career. Interesting.

Do you mean stability and knowledge like Jimmy Constantino taking kick backs from Timmy Larned stability and knowlege. Or Jimmy Constantino fondling of the residents daughters type of togetherness. Or Paulino's one and done supervisor stint after passing an unpopular town wide reval. He didn't even have the BALLS to run again and see through what he started. He jumped ship to take a patronage job for Mayor Sta-sta-sta-Sratton. Is that the type of stability and togetherness you're talking about. Or Ms. Marco's choice not to run again, instead excepting a patronage job in the city for Stratton. How about our former County rep Kent Gray, who left his county seat as Rotterdam's representative for a high paying patronage job appointed by a now legendary governor Mr. Eliot Spitzer. Our state rep Mr. Tonko also left his position as our representative for a high paying patronage job appointed by Mr. Spitzer. That's dedication to public service.
These people are career politician. They could care less about those they represent. They are just biding their time for when their guy/gal gets into a position that can benefit themselves.
Oh you poor, pitiful, bitter man. I pity the fool who who obsesses over envy. The people you mention are political institutions that Steve Tomassone and crew will never, ever be mentioned in the same breath. Steve is a lying buffoon who has shaped an administration built on years of desperate political hyjinks, This is the same guy who publically ripped his own party when the Republicans beat Constantino and company. I lived in this county for a number of years, was a former republican and watched in horror as he ripped Joe Signore, John deGeorgio, and every appt. Joe S. made. Steve Tomassone is a passing fancy. Mertz hates his guts and Buchanan isn't far behind. Wait and see this one play out Cicero. Mertz, Tomassone and Signore on the same ticket and same campaign trail??? I can't wait for that charade and the self-destruction that will inevitably ensue.
On another note, I will be out of the loop for a while undergoing major surgery. See you all soon and keep up the good fight! I know I will!!
I envy nobody. Especially those who are forever linked to the likes of Eliot Spitzer, like Mr. Gray and Mr. Tonko. The fallout from the Spitzer, Patterson exploits haven't been fully felt yet. That's a lot of fodder to be used during the next election cycle. Those who once fought for the acknowledgment of Mr. Spitzer will soon be finding ways to disassociate themselves from him.
The self-destruction has begun for the Democrats. Starting from the top.

There is a much bigger machine at work in NYS and both parties are tied to it......and we the taxpayers get to pay for our own raping......dont think not a one of these baboons didn't know about the subprime/prostitute rings/drugs/police contracts/teachers contracts etc......our government surely is ineffective(BOTH PARTIES] where they stand......
THOSE WHO CONTROL THE GUNS/TRANSPORTATION/CONTRACTS/ENERGY CONTROL THE MASSES........and they make a good buck off our backs and claim things to run smoother......

More politics of hate. It's exactly these types of comments that facilitate nothing getting done.
The guy, like him or not, is making cheese for crying out loud.
Everyone has an opinion and a way to get their opinion across. Unfortunately not everyone knows proper, adult, respectable, productive behavior while in the process.
