Quoted from GrahamBonnet
You are here banging on her in effort to shut her down. That is a tactic tyrants use when they are in the ruling majority and citizens are speaking against them. I have seen it done repeatedly by bullies in town hall and elsewhere. Not everyone is sucking the conservative-democrap party dick these days and revolt is growing under your noses in places you least suspect. Attacking her is not wise and reflects even more poorly on your band of police sponsored thugs.


Who is banging on "her" .. no one .. it is a a statement of my belief .. it is easier to be a critic
than it is to be a real leader --- period.  
No bullying .. no stifling of dissent .. just exercising my Constitutional Right of Free Speech.

But I do strongly believe that she is a HUGE part of the problem in our town .. and NOT a
part of the solution.

Of course your 'banging on her' otherwise you would have never started this thread. That is your sole purpose of being here! That is what you were instructed to do!

And if you think she is a HUGE problem in rotterdam, than I would suggest you address the REAL HUGE PROBLEMS facing rotterdam other than a dog park and ANNOYING GADFLYS!!

Get with the program DVR....and don't kid yourself.....there are many many many ANNOYING GADFLYS in rotterdam and in the entire county...k?

I really got a good laugh out of your post.   Ecpsecially, the  "that is what you were instructed to
do" -- it really shows the dillusional nature of the Perpetual Negativity Choir -- always believing
in some conspiracy theory.

As for the dog park, I am neither a proponent or an opponent of the idea .. it was an idea which
surfaced at PUBLIC INPUT sessions -- sessions in which the residents of the town were invited
to share theirideas for our town parks.    
If I as chairman of the Parks Commission ignored a legitimate suggestion made by a town
resident -- you would would then attack me for ignoring the will of the residents.
As it is, the topic of a possible dog park is only on the agenda for discussion .. where it goes
from there depends on the will of the commission and more input from the public.

She is only a problem to those politicians in control of the TB.  If she is a HUGE problem like you claim, I would hate to see how this administration handles REAL TOWN problems.

They don't handle any real problems they just want to spend more money and raise taxes to pay for it.

Gadfly has more balls than most and will call each and every person on the carpet
in order to have issues come to light.  She is a fighter for this town (which I do
believe she truly cares for).  In the beginning I didn't have a favorable opinion
of her, but after talking to her, she knows the history of this town and knows how
to get things done.  Maybe in time she will run for a position; however, I believe
that she doesn't want to be a puppet for anyone.  She is much more intelligent
than anyone gives her credit for.  She is fighting this REMS thing because this town
does NOT need another tax.  We do not have the tax base to warrant this tax and
this town board has not brought in any new significant business.

The truth be told Gadfly is a man! LOL  The only person in Rotterdam who could possibly post all the glowing comments of the "you know who Gadfly" is a gadfly themselves.  I am glad I am not a gadfly, or a gladfry or a smallfry or a potatofry or a fly on the wall.  Well maybe a fly on the wall but not a gladfly.  Anyone who refers to themself as a gadfly has ISSUES!!

IMHO the grimpeeper

Why be a gladfly when you can be an apologist for all the insanity and then presto get a post at the Town Clerk's? Of course for no pay-lol.

     Expect many more gladfly's as the one party phony "working together" crew keeps robbing from the town to prop up the imploding City.

What's the matter Pooper...did DVR run down the hall to beg for your support that he doesn't get here???

"Truth be told", ANYONE would look like a man next to you...you are an obsessed, delusional little cissy...you couldn't possibly
be a gadfly...you don't have the brains, the cajones, the vocabulary...or the stability. It's time to increase your meds.

And speaking of your obsession with me and with my political history, among other things, I am not the one who classified myself
as a gadfly...that was the work of your favorite newspaper...the People's Gazette. For once they got it right.

Again.........times are changing.....people are smarter, more informed, vocal and choosing to exercise their right to get involved in their government. So get with the program!!!....k? The days of sliding taxes and legislation through behind the backs of the taxpayers are gone!!!!

As far as gadfly.....she knows more about rotterdam and it's political history than most anyone else!! She is one of the few staunch real conservatives left. How can anyone NOT choose to support and stand behind her when she clearly has nothing to gain except relieving the taxpayers of an unnecessary tax and pointing out injustices that directly effect the taxpayers of rotterdam?

There are more ANNOYING GADFLIES in schenectady county because of their displeasure with their government leaders!!! THEY ARE 'WORKING TOGETHER'......AND WORKING TOGETHER WORKS!!!!

Gadfly has the power of exposure to the light and the Dems need total darkness to work their magic void of public scrutiny.

What law can she pass? Who can she hire? Who can she fire? What town operation can she command? NOTHING.
