Wow. Ok then.

Where is that worthless chair?????? She is always so willing to come here and say something stupid... Still waiting for her to try to defend herself hahahhaha

Back on the town clerk part of this post, I find it interesting that the first Rotterdam political sign I saw outside of town was for this position.  Ms. Marco has some supporters in the city on Altamont Ave.  It also appears that Tomaselli / Marchinkowski have some support from the owners of Mattice's garage (the second sign I saw outside the town).

Maybe she's out working and helping her party? Ever think of that?

HAHAHA NOPE! This is Brad's show lol

While riding through rotterdam, one couldn't help but notice the BIG campaign signs for DM and crew! Guess they know they are in deep dodo when they have to go to that extreme! However, they should be reminded that signs don't vote!

Perhaps they should also send out fliers explaining how and why they continued to support an awol fraudulent town clerk at the sum of $50K a year of taxpayer's money.
Or perhaps explain how and why they supported a tax hike for all rotterdamians.
Or perhaps explain how and why they supported and campaigned for the present rotterdam administration that they are now trying to bash?
And now DM, who supported EE's fraudulent awol behavior as TC...........is running for the same seat! What's that tell ya, rotterdamians? DM clearly supported paying EE $50K of taxpayer's money until it hit election time so DM could try to take the seat. I'd call that self motivation....no?

on second thought..........they do need those BIG SIGNS!!

I was wondering, are those signs within town code?  Well, we know that the code won't be enforced, but I was just wondering if they're within the code or not.

No candidate shall place or cause to be placed or erect a political sign exceeding two feet by four feet in size on any privately owned property situate in an RA, R-1, R-2 or R-3 residential zoning district as enumerated in § 270-6 of this Code. The post or supporting standard shall not be considered in computing the aforesaid size limitation. It is the presumption of this section that all signs erected on the above-referred-to residential property have been so erected by the candidate whose name appears on said sign and with the permission of the owner of said property. Said sign shall be the sole responsibility of the candidate whose name appears on said sign including the duties, obligations and penalties as provided for in this section.

First of all it's really funny you dingbats now criticize big signs when you had no problem with Amewhore's massive signs last year....

Second the sign ordinance is illegal and everyone knows it...we have first amendment rights in this country despite what FDG wants you to believe....

I'm reading this that there are restrictions ONLY on PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY....yes? And are these restrictions for rotterdam only? And what if they are plastered ON a building.....say like on a barn?

But prior to taking office, FDG didn't make the laws, and if they're still in effect, he still needs to follow them, unless he gets at least 2 other town board members to agree that he doesn't (or if he won't get people to enforce them)?

Just so you know, I actually did point out the issue with Mr. Amedore's signs last year, and here's the proof.  Check it out:

Quoted from Kevin March

Actually, the code says differently, and I believe this may actually break a COUPLE parts of the code, as far as the town code goes.

Section 270-151.1, section D.

Also, as far as the code goes, all the signs on the side of the Curry Road bridge are illegal.

Quoted Text

E.  No signs shall be placed on the sides of overpass or underpass vehicular bridges or railroad bridges, on poles carrying utility lines, traffic signals, streetlights or telephone lines and on direction or traffic signs.

Here's one specifically for Wayne Calder,  a former police officer, who is supposed to ENFORCE the code, not be breaking it.

Quoted Text

G.  Political signs shall not be erected or placed earlier than September 1 of the year of the primary and general election for the candidate named on the sign and shall be removed within 14 days after the election. It shall be the responsibility of the person erecting or placing the sign to cause its removal.

I believe his were up during the second week of August at the latest.


...and in the same code, Section H, every single Rotterdam Police officer who drives past any of these that are erected illegally are actually breaking the law... maybe not breaking the law, but isn't it their job to enforce the law?  Which is what the code is?

Quoted Text

H.  The Town Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer, Zoning Officer and all police officers are empowered to remove any sign which is erected or placed in violation of the provisions of this section and to dispose of the sign in any appropriate manner, including trashing.  Removal shall be without the necessity of prior notice to the candidate or anyone else.

I knew someone had brought it up here before.  Thanks for keeping an eye out, Mr. March.

None of this matters though...the law is illegal everyone knows it...the government CANNOT limit political speech on YOUR property....It's really hilarious that the conservatives are the ones in favor of speech restrictions...the illegal law should NOT be enforced because if it is the town will have to defend more litigation...we have already seen there are quality people in this town willing to sue when the town breaks the law...Mr. March is a prime example of this.
