Quoted from Patches

Nothing against you.....but, you be surprised what goes on at TH  ...and don't tell me she is oblivious to the
news of the day

she  was secretary  at the Sr Ctr   right??    and a friend of DM

no one is squeaky clean  and doesn't have some baggage    and DM read your letter at the TB meeting re

the cameras in the Brass Rail????    and created quite a stir.

I have a question from one of the seniors,     why weren't they installed in the auditorium where they would
have been better served (no pun intended)

and respectfully   have a good run

My wife took a civil service test and qualified for the position - thus I believe she earned the position.

Following an issue over the request by an elected official to delete town records, my wife has been assigned to many offices by our current Supervisor.
Some moves were with union approval others were not. All moves could have been with union approval if the Supervisor took the time to understand his Job
description as written in NYS Law.

It was the request to delete records by an elected official that began my involvement in our town.

you be surprised what goes on at TH  

As far as a friend of DM - more like work respect of her(DM) efforts while she(my wife) worked for her(DM) for less than 2 months.

Cameras - a stop work order was issued by our Supervisor and work was never completed.
Two were requested and I expressed my concern about their use, a compromise was reached.
Eight were to be installed, as it was my intent to protect the taxpayers from injury lawsuits by those using the facilities, as Ms. Marco was working on a  a plan
to "raise revenue" to cover the operation of the Community Center.

Coverage was to be:
Entrances (2)
Both kitchens(3)
Food storage(1)
Auditorium(2)

There was a delay in the installation due to the dumping of construction materials (windows) in the Community Center dumpster - which at this point appears to
be a one-time issue or the dumping came to an end due to the presence of the cameras.

I will work with and RESPECT anyone in the town who is trying to better our town regardless of party or connections as I want my town to rise out of the hole it is currently in.

If you to would like to take this town in a new direction use the power of the pen and write in "Todd Koza".

GB - you are correct I am asking a lot.

I am not a retired government employee, not a business owner, not an attorney, no backed by a major party or mislead business owner,
"I work(a normal job) where I live."



While I'm here:

I am upset that both parties bring forth candidates that try to get the electorate to believe that adding a building or two will change the tax rates of others,
while true, the change is very, very, very small.

As of 11/1/2010 the Town of Rotterdam has a combined full value assessment of $2,682,150,148 so adding to this 2.6 billion dollar number has very small
effect(a million dollar increase only adds .04% to the total), in my case effects a number 7 places to the right of the decimal(.000093x), which results in a $1(one) dollar change in my taxes.

Continually updating all assessments will ensure everyone pays their fair share for services.

Retail business additions only further one cause – Metroplex!

MFH(multi-family housing) - is another falsehood - it increases building density on land, reducing its assessed value, which causes the single family homeowner to pay more for services the residents of MFH use.

I feel the answer is jobs, well-paying jobs(not retail) by those who prefer to "work where they live."  
Our school districts have made positive changes in the last few years making this statement possible.

As we go forward in our town, we will have to continue to pay at a rate of about 3(retired) to 1(active officer) for police protection until there is change in Albany.

Our Town should look at the County for road revenue for winter services as there is no need for the county to plow roads that our town trucks drive on their way to plow town roads.

Our Town should sign contracts with all medical service providers to offset paramedic costs.

Our Town should work with local colleges to digitize all necessary documents at no cost to the town.

Based on the disclosure forms filed with the Board of Elections --- I don't see the "boat load of money" that Mr. DelGallo is supposedly spending .. unless he is spending it and not reporting it.   Which is possible - because I don't see any reporting on the money spent on those full page ads taken out in the Spotlight nor the ads taken out in the Daily Gazette.     (Just a hint to Mr. DelGallo and Rotterdam First gang ... financial disclosure laws apply to ALL candidates for public office in New York State .. including you)

If anything what I see is this :  During this campaign year-to-date or should I say  up through the most recent filings Rotterdam First and the Rotterdam Republican party have LESS money COMBINED than the Democratic Party had as of July 15, 2011.

Quoted from Patches

Give me a break   and that is a fact huh?
That goes to show you that nasty rumors start with people like you
If anyone will add some class and professionalism to TH it will be AC
Then you can find out about how much TK's wife knows  The grapevine is slowly rotting away   pretty soon the clerks will be clerking, the laborers will be laboring and DM wil be in the unemployment line    Of course that's after she sues the Town for back pay  TK can chose to run again when he is better known.
Time for factual statements instead of tunnel vision in the land of "OZ"

Don't hold your breath waiting for a correction. False charges are all they have left. The write in got more votes in this poll then he will on Election Day. AC is going to win. She's an all rounder who can go the distance. Got a senoir center?

T Koza--you seem like a very decent person.  However, you were ill-advised to run.  Writing in names does not work.  Ask Gadfly.  She has encouraged folks to do that for years.  The average voter, and you say you are the average voter, will not take the time or the effort necessary.  I am sorry you were taken down this road.  However, with another election in a couple of years, you will already have had some name recognition and perhaps can pursue a board seat.

Good luck on your race.

Mr. Koza has one important advantage over KR in mounting a write-in campaign -- Todd Koza is an intelligent, LIKEABLE and RATIONAL person.

Correct, very different than you.

Thank you TK   nice bio and platform    sounds like a dream   and you really think you can accomplish all of
what you state?   remember your ideas are not the same as the Gentleman's Club plus One.

the shredding of evidence is something people know little about.   the very fact that this event should have
been confidential and you knew about it   makes me believe that there is a connection to the Town.

Confidentiality is something Rotterdam does not have and that right there causes me to believe that no one
can be trusted with personal/business information.  that is one reason why they wanted FDG's secretary gone.

When you enter the building  b/4 you can get to where you are going    walla    everyone knows and it's no
one's business   rumors start and spun into a bunch of lies.  

The shredding of evidence might surprise all as to who it was for  it was a crime and fraudulent and unethical

Rotterdam has become a "rotten dam" town by the present TB and all those connected to the "CLICK"

.FDG was not supported we need him to remain as Supervisor   he knows numbers and can bring this Town back to a black balance

So on to victory  for FDG   and   AC

What you stated above has NOTHING to do with a town clerk's job ... perhaps a board member, but not one shred has anything to do with your duties as an elected clerk of this town.

Why are you running for clerk?  Makes no sense, IMHO

I stated my case in general

1.   typist tells husbend re the shredding
2.   confidentiality is not a rule of thumb with this Town
3..   Town Clerk is where ALL information is funneled
4.    FDG's former secretary was a trusted person and kept confidentiality
5.   TK  stated what he would do and I countered it

Doesn't make sense to you because you don't comprehend the big picture   facts are facts
and experience is the best teacher

I wasn't replying to you - I was responding to TK ... if you read my reply, I basically agree with you

Need more caffeine?

oooops

need sugar to jump start my brain

Since America is a free country .. a democracy  -- Mr. Koza is free to run for ANY political office that he chooses to and is legally eligible to run for.  He may not be my personal choice for Town Clerk but I applaud him for running and wish him well.

DVR--this is not about personality.  The mechanics of doing a write-in are quite specific and not likely for Rotterdam voters.  And btw do not underestimate KR--she is very very intelligent and frankly would be a great public servant.

As for TK it's gonna be a KO for DM.  She simply has the goods to win this election.

I understand perfectly well the "mechanics of doing a write-in" and the up hill struggle Mr. Koza has --- and I have said all along that I am 1000% behind Ms. Marco for Town Clerk.     I was just defending Mr. Koza's right to run from the attacks of the NNTP/GOP who are upset that he might take some votes away from the candidate that Mr. DelGallo hired .. I mean endorsed.

As for KR -- I disagree with you on you latter observation .. and haven't seen any evidence of your former observation.    Let's put it this way .. I would vote for Bob Godlewski and Frank DelGallo   BEFORE  I would ever vote for  Kelly Rhinesmith  ...  and it will be a cold day in hell before I ever vote for those other two.
