Crazed rant? You must have been watching a different video then the one posted... You may feel it was inappropiate or unnecessary (I would disagree with you) but "crazed rant"?
People who decide to run for public office do so for many different reasons. Other posters here are stating that ND stated that she ran because of her high assessment which appeared to her to be out of line with other neighboring homes. In her statement, she said it was ONE of the reasons why she ran. I laugh when people criticize that statement. I wonder how many individuals decide to run for office because they are unhappy with the amount of taxes taxpayers pay or because they feel they are being treated unfairly by the current office holders and disagree with the way they are going about their jobs. I would think it would be a high precentage of them.
You are kidding here right? I don't even know where to begin!! Every word/sentence out of ND's mouth were questionable at best. She also gave us the usual sh!t sandwich. She brags about how she moved to rotterdam (like we care) to give her son a better life. Then goes on to say that she had no involvement with raucci. (that is a concern for many residents) She goes on to say how GREAT the schenectady school is. (even though she obviously didn't want her son attending there) Oh and she did give Mohonasen a 'thumbs up' Then she goes on to say that her motivation for running for office was because HER taxes were to high. And lastly....she is on the board to represent US! How comforting....NOT!! Her rant, and yes it was a useless rant, was right out of the city of schenectady's urban neighborhoods. More braun than brains. IMHO |

Funny how you left the "crazed" part out in your definition lesson. You called it a "crazed rant". v. crazed v.tr. To cause to become mentally deranged or obsessed; make insane. v.intr. To become mentally deranged or obsessed; go insane. I didn't see ND go insane like you described it. And yes, I'm a blind follower of ND. LOL! You come to that conclusion from me disagreeing with you calling her statement "crazed". LOL! Whatever...  |

Born, raised and educated in the city of schenectady. Only 5 years in rotterdam. Is a principle of one, if not the most corrupt schools in the capital district with one of the lowest graduation stats and continues to praise and support it! (although she wouldn't send her kid there)  Should rotterdam residents be concerned? UH....YUP! IMHO |

Bum, I wouldn't call it "crazed", k? I just find it funny that all of the sudden several individuals hang on every sentence a TB member says... ST drove everyone nuts with his long-winded "rants"/statements that would drag a meeting on and on for hours, at EVERY meeting. I'm just shocked that she would say such "crazy" things like; I think my taxes are too high, or she's on the board to represent US, or she moved to Rotterdam to give her family a better life, or whatever else she said..... Sounds like a complete nut..... LOL. |

Again, I could care less about any of this stuff. I'm more interested in what her voting record will be. All this other stuff is a lot to do with nothing. |

Maybe he did make the meetings drag on for hours, BUT at least you got some sort of answer. |

Those who serve the public need to remember it is the public whom they are suppose to be serving. If rules are established that shut the public out or limit what the public can say, one has to certainly wonder why those in office were elected in the first place!!!
They are refusing to be held accountable to their constituents. This clearly leads one to wonder why the board is so threatened by someone asking a question and expecting an answer. Particularly one that involves taxpayer dollars or quality of life issues. This behavior will only heighten the level of 'no trust' from the residents about these town board members. IMHO |

Not yet! You can still get up and pose your question....just don't expect an answer. Just the 'deer in the headlight look'. However, I believe you aren't that far off for a future idea from this bunch. Since the residents are infuriated with this last 'no questions answered' stunt, submitting a question in writing before a meeting might be considered an olive branch from them. Screw them! |

Listen to the video again, starting at :25 .. thru 1:05 ... he says "in writing" and "we'll take them into consideration" ... what part am I missing here? |

More times than not, he'd have a "study" completed to give us an answer but never accomplish anything. LOL! |
