Quoted from Kevin March

Hey, I know exactly what I'm going to do this November.  

I'm just going to go in to the voting booth and give a grade to those currently in office.  

And that grade?  

"F"

Good one, Kevin!

There are a lot of us that are going to rate them an F.

The No New Tax Party candidates all have my support.

The NO NEW TAX PARTY is a breath of fresh air in a stale political year. The incumbent party is running the same old tired incumbents and the dead enders are running blanks. The other "me too" minor parties should be totally ignored.

  Funny to hear the low ball projections from the ususal suspects. Do you think they will get less votes then the Working Family Party? lol. The NO NEW TAX PARTY must go Countywide so others can have a real choice.

NO NEW TAX PARTY ON ROTTERDAM BALLOT

Posted on: 09/09/09

Last month, Rotterdam Town Board candidates John Mertz, Michael O’Connor, candidate for County legislature Bradley Littlefield and supervisor candidate Brian McGarry filed a petition with the Schenectady County Board of Elections to establish an independent ballot line called the No New Tax Party in the Town of Rotterdam and Schenectady County.

On Thursday, Sept. 3, their petition was passed when the deadline to object expired.

Mertz, who is currently a town board member and seeking reelection, and newcomers McGarry, O’Connor and Littlefield, will all be on the November ballot.

“They could have filed an objection by last Monday,” said Mertz, adding that despite negative campaign fliers circulating, nobody did.

After the petition to create the ballot line was filed Tuesday, Aug. 18, anyone who opposed the petition had until Thursday, Aug. 17 to file a general objection and then three weeks to find specific problems or objections within the petition, which would have to be. While general objections were filed, nobody filed specific objections.

“Rotterdam residents are too smart to be duped by the out-of-touch political bosses,” said McGarry in a written statement. “These recent attacks against our candidates is proof our campaign is gaining steam.  The No New Tax Party poses a threat to the status quo that is responsible for the astronomical taxes in Rotterdam.”

The party has only one issue on its platform and that is to vote against any tax proposals or increase in taxes. If elected members are still in office when the United States is out of the current recession, the candidates propose capping tax increases at the rate of inflation and submitting any new tax district proposals to constituents.

The candidates are seeking other ballot lines as well. O’Connor and Mertz will run in the Republican primary. Littlefield, who is running to represent District 4 (Rotterdam, Duanesburg and Princetown) in Schenectady County Legislature, will take part in the Conservative primary. McGarry will run in the Conservative primary.

“The four of us are in primaries next Tuesday, so it doesn’t stop for us. It seems like a distant event last week that we cleared the ballot,” said Mertz.

Mertz said he wasn’t surprised that a general objection was filed when the petition was initially submitted, but the he believes it just gave the Board of Elections more time to review the candidates’ petition and “make sure it’s in order.”

Prior to the creation of the No New Tax Party, Mertz and O’Connor announced that they would both be seeking the GOP line on the ballot for Rotterdam Town Board in the September primaries, despite the fact that they didn’t have backing from the Rotterdam GOP committee.

“It’s actually very exciting,” said Mertz.

For information about the No New Tax Party, voters can visit the Web site at http://www.nonewtaxparty.com.

According to O’Connor, the No New Tax Party doesn’t have the funding available to them that the “Rotterdam political bosses do,” so they are relying on a grassroots effort that they hope will involve the citizens of Rotterdam.

By Thursday, Sept. 3, the party has received offers for financial contributions and volunteers from the Upstate Conservative Coalition, the Primary Challenge organization, and the New York Tea Party Patriots.

4. Conservatives

6. Working Families

The NO NEW TAX PARTY will be the biggest vote getter of any 3rd party. Because they stand for something. The IND party embarrassed itself with its endorsement for County Leg. We need term limits.

Term limits for both elected AND appointed positions!!! No more career politicians or career appointed positions!

Not to mention the embarassment for the Town of Rotterdam.  Richard Nebolini should be hooking down on State and Chestnut.  Sold out his party for a job for his stepson in the highway dept, numerous appts to the BAR and last but not least he forgot what Joe Sue Rah Rah referred to him as when Jolly Joe didnt get the line in the 2005 Co Leg race.  King Richard the WHORE!!!!!  

If this were Colonie an investigation would be brewin but not in Sch'dy County

Bravo! About time the Schenectady DA investigated the non-independent "independence party". In Colonie they were caught with pants down in pay to play for the Town Highway Super. Don't vote on LINE C!

  But in Schenectady County everyone be looking the other way. {AS USUAL} By the way, let me know when the Albany County investigation starts!

Today the "proof will be in the pudding." Obviously from what I read the NNT people will sweep the town, plus they made thousands of negative calls and sent anonymous letters out! The hopscotch can be no more. They have to win with the thousands they spent.
