Cis--take yoga it will help you.  

Cal and PDQ are great aren't they?  They have issue with the assessor's interpersonal skills, who's been in office for I don't know,,, 3 years, and have done nothing but bad mouthed him.  Now, that I'm not willing to jump on the ban wagon. I'm the one who needs yoga.  You guys are hilarious.  I point out that our prior assessor’s dereliction of duty that cost the residents of Rotterdam $750K.  And you guys want to talk about this assessor’s interpersonal skill.  More of the same typical short sighted, Rotterdam attitude.

Cissy--you know that is BS.  You know your current assessor is an a** and so does the town. If he was of such glowing quality--why did the EGO lose?  Stop defending him.  Get over it.  You guys need to regroup becasue you need to demand the resignation of buchanan and GP, character assassinator extraodinaire!  You all need a yoga class.  I knwo somebody who does yoga for seniors--maybe she would make a house call to the bunker.

HeHe They need more than YOGA Cal.  I guess the public enema wasn't enough.  Maybe a labotomy although I think Signore had one years ago and nobody knew.   Little ole Johnny Macejka cost the taxpayers $750, 000 and it was his dereliction of duties.  WahWahWah  They have it stuffed right up to their eyeballs Cal and they still are in campaign negative mode.  Court jesters at best!

Well, I can tell you why ST lost.  His name is Brian McGarry and the NNTP.  FDG received 42% of the vote!  Not even close to the majority.  I'm pretty sure that if he weren't on the ticket, the votes wouldn't have split 50/50.  Probably closer to 60/40 or 75/25 in favor of ST.

I'm not defending Surprise as much as laying blame for the $750K reassessment.  QUESTION - Why did the residents of Rotterdam pay $750K for a reval?  I think I've answered that question.  You guys seem to be avoiding it like the plague, and rightfully so.  

Surprise may be a real jerk.  But he hasn't cost the Rotterdam taxpayer three quarters of a million dollars.

I could care less about the politics.  Or who won and who lost.   My concern is that whoever the leadership in Town Hall, put people in that is competent.  Unlike the prior incompetent Town Hall that ended up costing the resident $750K.


Ya know what?  Typing the truth relaxes me much more than yoga.

Well if that relaxes you--maybe you could get a job as a court reporter.

This is worse than a town high school football game.....the issue is the lack from the past lackeys of BOTH
parties....no foresight....just protectionism......

I hope the youngins' are listening hearing, watching seeing.........forward.....support yourself....etc......

.........and then the room went quiet!!!!! shhhhhh......the TROLL is gone!!

First of all I didn't know Macejka had sole approval for spending $750,000 on a much needed reval.  Thank God he had the "GUTS" to do it (Sound familiar HeHe). (Fact).  Secondly, I believe the money didn't come out of the taxpayers pocket in terms of a tax hike but creative financing ala Paolino and Aragosa making it happen.(Fact) Third Tommasone and Mertz could have saved the taxpayers even more money had they bonded it over twenty years but the SMART guys who just got clobbared in this last election voted against the bonding.(Fact)  Another brilliant strategy.

BT and Cissy -Move forward on the whole reval issue.  It is dead and buried.  Sprinkle holy water on it.  All the players except Patrick Aragosa are OUT of Town Hall.  Please join us on the "Revitalize Rotterdam Train"  It's leaving the station on January 1, 2010.  Reserve seating is limited and by the sounds of your passionate rantings you really do care about the future of the Town.  So hop on board guys.  The Party is just beginning.  YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Unfortunately, I hear the trail will be back in the station within 6 months as a successor to the big chair is sought cause FDG cant continue staying up past his bedtime.

He won't have the borrrrrringgggggg Steve Tommasone Homilys to put him asleep MT.  LOL  Ever catch Sigsnore napping during "Quite Frankly" as I see it...blah blah blah I am Steve Tommasone and I am the Supervisor of the world and Quite Frankly I am a big FAT LIAR!!!!!  HOWLING

Cis can't get it through his blank head that the assessor doesn't initiate the reval. It has to be approved by the town board. Separation of powers remember?

If it was split at 60/40 in ST favor, he still would have lost. To say he would have received more than 60% of that voting block is follish and no where is there any indication that ST could or would have taken 60=% of any voting block...

No, I think everybody else is missing the point that if we had competent assessors throughout the 70's 80's and 90's who kept accurate assessment on property in the town of Rotterdam, it wouldn't have been necessary for a $750K town wide reval.  

I guess a hypothetical example of this would be if the Highway Supervisor only maintained half of the roads in Rotterdam for 20 or 30 years, while letting the other half deteriorate.  Then when the roads that weren't maintained for years have to be addressed, it now cost 10 times more than if they were regularly maintained like they were supposed to be over the 20 or 30 years, and many more headaches.  Then you blame the new Highway Supervisor that has to deal with the 30 years of incompetence and neglect.  

Hey benny, this has nothing to do with separation of powers. It has to do with the incompetent boobs running the Assessors Office over they years.  You think you're in the "know" benny.  Go take a look and see how many properties that weren't even on the tax roll.  You don't even have to be in the know.  Check the newspaper archives.

60/40 split in ST's favor of 1451 votes would have given ST an 85 more votes than FDG.  ST actually only needed about 58% of the 1451 of McGarry votes. So I'm not foolish, because I believe he could have received 58%.  

With your math, I would swear you used to work in the assessors office?
