Quoted from CICERO


Sewers down route 7 to 25A wasn't tied directly with the landowner's selling the land to Walmart, to build a Super Walmart in the middle of Town?  I remember the dump trucks outside the Senior Center intimidating the residents during a Town Hall meeting.  Mertz stood up with the residents in the face of that type of intimidation.  He showed more common sense leadership than any of the inbred crooked politicians Rotterdam breeds.  And that's why he's out.


It was one of rotterdam's 'friends and family club loyalist' that stopped the sewers on Rt7. It was clearly a pay to play scenerio.

Remember....mertz is not a 'home grown' and clearly does not have a vowel after his name, which carries a lot of weight in the town or rotterdam. There was no political gain for him. He tried to break through rotterdam's 'blue wall' and the 'friends and family club' wall.

So it is clearly a lesson learned...........don't rock the rotterdam corrupt boat!!!
And it also goes to prove that any rotterdam candidate/elected official, will never make it in rotterdam if they try to change the corrupt status quo. The 'family and friends club' along with the 'pay to play club' is alive and well in rotterdam!!

Hey.....I can say this.....cause I'm mertzie!!!

I'm still not sure what this obsession with Mertz is for. He's not in office, it's history.  Can't ANYONE deal with the present or reality??


You need to know your history in order to understand why we are where we are today.  Especially in Rotterdam politics.  People need to know what the motivating factors that led to FDG becoming the Town Supervior.  Remember - FDG is our Supervisor,,,I'll say it again - FDG IS TOWN SUPERVISOR!  Who funded that "Revitalize Rotterdam" campaign?  

Mertz addressed issues that were you decades off limits in Rotterdam politics.  People need to understand the Rotterdam power structure to realize how we ended up with FDG AS TOWN SUPERVISOR!   People need to rekindle those politcally unpopular issues that Mertz raised if they ever want to fix many of the problems facing Rotterdam.  The rules of the game need to be changed before things will change for the better.

You're really going out on a limb with this prediction.  I wonder who Angelo supports.

First Mertz was NO leader.  He was an arrogant oaf who tried to bully his way through.  Calder will absolutely clean Salamone's clock.  I predicted it from the beginning.  Glad to hear he was scout.  That is the first impressiv e thing I have heard about this boy.

When confronted with 2 DEMS-the real one always wins. The DEMS will all abandon FS at the polls after blowing smoke up his butt. Next time try and find someone who is not for new taxes.

Is Salamone a Buchanan pick?  This Eddie Munster look alike is a fine young man--even by Democratic standards but he has no message and no charisma and he is plagued (sorry Eddie) by bad political advice.  And btw, Eddie Munster HAD charisma!

TJ hooker Jasesinski I am sure was instrumental in having a fellow ex cop nominated for town board, and rumor has it calder is inline to run for supervisor once FDG realizes he doestn belong in that seat.  I am sure TJ wants to be chair of county and hopes SS can pull off the upset of a century.  Then you have the perfect storm to consolidate police into one big group.  dem sheriff, dem county, dem rotterdam super - all cops -WOW!!! can you imagine your taxes after that trifecta.  At least crime will be at an all time low!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!  speaking of which was TJ his chief?

dems have an agenda - and DVR- has even admitted to some of it

dems want new county nursing home here, new town hall, consolidated police force, cosolidated dispatch, senior center, and on and on and on.  all at taxpayer expense!!!






oh my how the times change......

looks like calder is stepping right in line with the democrat agenda!!

and i think i figured out why they have delayed the als aggreement on REMS.  Instead of allowing REMS to fund themselves.  let the tax district go through and then collect the money for the town and spend it on other things - probably more cops!!!!!

Spotlight Newsroom 10/28/10
Wayne W. Calder
Age: 66
Occupation: Rotterdam Police Department (Ret)
Residence: Rotterdam
Political Affiliation: Democrat

Biography/Introduction:
A Vietnam Veteran, served in the U.S. Navy. Married my wife Bobbi and moved to Rotterdam in 1967. We have two children and five grandchildren. A communicant of St. Paul the Apostle Church, I enjoy playing golf and pickleball. Appointed to Rotterdam P.D. in 1971, Youth Services 1979, and Detective 1984. I served as an Investigator with the DEA Narcotics Division, and upon returning was promoted to Lieutenant in the Detective Division. I served as Deputy Police Chief until retiring in 2001. I volunteered with the Carman F.D. and Rotterdam Little League, and served with the Schenectady County Traffic Safety Board, the Rotterdam PBA, the Northeast Police Chiefs, and New York State Chiefs of Police Associations. I was elected to the Mohonasen School Board for a three year term ending in 2004, and now work part-time for Mohonasen. I am the endorsed Democratic, Conservative, Independent and Working Families Party candidate.

Why do you want to sit on the Town Board?
Our Town faces serious problems. My ability to work with others to find solutions and my experience in government are attributes I bring to the Board. I was told that success in public service comes from listening to the people and I am a good listener.

Do you think the Town Board of Rotterdam is dysfunctional? If so, how do you plan to fix it?
The Town Board comes from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, hard working and strong willed individuals from the fields of business, education, engineering, and law. I would harness this energy and focus on what unites us instead of what divides us, for the common good of our Town.

How do you plan to deal with Rotterdam’s current budget?
Municipalities face problems with increasing expenses and declining revenues. The people do not want more taxes yet they do not want to lose any services. Cutting costs and reducing taxes by eliminating duplication and sharing services between municipalities is a concept whose time has come.

How would you promote economic development in Rotterdam?
We realize future success by using all resources, private and public, to build a commercial tax base creating jobs. You outline goals and objectives, involve people with experience and ideas, then formulate and adopt a plan, creating partnerships that make it a success. We all benefit.

Additional comments:
I readily accept the challenges we face and will bring new ideas to the Town Board. There are services we provide in Town today that we can do less expensively. We need to identify those functions, determine what those services costs our residents and then explore partnerships with others that allow us to maintain those services and reduce associated costs. Many such opportunities exist today in the areas of composting, sewage treatment, highway services, prescription drug programs, and assessments to name a few. We need to maximize new revenue streams. One such revenue stream alone would provide an estimated additional $150,000 in annual tax relief to our residents just by allowing ambulance services to bill insurance companies for the services being provided by our police department paramedics. These opportunities shouldn’t be overlooked and will receive my prompt attention should they choose me as their Town Board member

I had never met Mr. Calder before last February  -- knew OF him but never met him personally.  
During these past 8 1/2 months, I can honestly say that the more I learn about him the more impressedI am with his wisdom, his character, and his personality and leadership style.    He is a hard worker and
a great listener and most importantly a genuinely sincere person.  
For these and a variety of other reasons,I believe he will be an excellent addition to the current
Town Board.
