I expect that the Town Board meetings will be conducted very professionally --- there are tough issues to address and they will be addressed --- but the meetings will no longer be a carnival sideshow.

I'll take that bet......they are all alike...nothing will change...just the same sour pusses and shiney medals

on their chests.....you will see ....These people are all alike, I repeat.....talk talk talk.....don't know how to

walk the walk....and do it with class.

That will be a pleasant change. Maybe some of the politards here will stop showing up?  

wow what a great photo
they really think they are something..
is the idiot on the chair the new fearless leader???


notice the woman though one thing about a woman her face dont lie
she know she is starin at a room full of a$$holes
but she will have a nice job so its worth it
everybodys gonna get what they deserve
FInally!!!
LoL
Oh yeah this is wonderfull

Quoted from AVON

         They should be lowering them, they are the ones that raised them to begin with . . . . DUH!  

Actually - County Tax rates were raised to their historic high levels  during the years the Republicans controlled the County Legislature --------- that is an UNDISPUTABLE FACT.

Republicans may talk about cutting taxes and making government more efficient -- Demecrats actually deliver by lowering taxes and making government more efficient.

You got that right Ditcher...

the voters took the "promises" and "actually no platform at all"   and ran with it.

It will not take long when the citizens of Rotterdam realize they are being led by a bunch of

lawmen who live back in the day.  The Wild Wild West.....and the board meetings will become a showplace

for a reality show.   And you will see SantaB carrying TJ's chair so the "showman" can project his

personal agenda......isn't raising one's arm  in defiance of what is right and just  ????  isn't that what led

the defeat of a "monster" ???

Wasn't it just a short time ago the Dems were saying the same thing about FDG and company.

ahhhh YUP!!! that's what happens when folks fail to see the future....these folks are just about ready to RETIRE.....that's what they are trying to F'EN save.....that's it....and their aged parents
think it's A-OKAY....because 'my kids just couldn't be wrong'.....they scared their own parents to get what they got.....and they talked up the contracts to keep their friends....

eventually the $$ DOES run out......

this is BEYOND party lines......it truly is about a small number of folks and their self preservation....I can only hope the Senior Center is open for them when they get to that age.....it will be their
nursing home given to them via National Healthcare......hope they have stock in Depends......

Maybe a good idea would be to kill em off,
You know we kill em off when they are young and in the womb cuz they are useless embryos.
Whats the diff if we kill em when they are old and useless?
Instead of the senior center we can have a euthanasia center.
Or maybe they will just die off like over bred dogs

Or maybe it can be run on charitable contributions, user fees, and volunteers.  I know in the day and age of the all caring all doing benevolent government it may sound like a foreign idea.  But little league, Pop Warner, soccer clubs are able to pull it off.  Club for seniors - must be run through local government and be hyper political.  That's just the way it is I guess.

Hey Cicero you have a very "damaged" attitude toward seniors.  What's up with that?  Some old person from a senior center beat you with a stick when you were little?  The message that should be given out here is not to elave seniors in the cold.  Restore programs and services that older adults need to live a productive (emphasisi on productive) meaningful, quality and healthy life as they continue to age.  We need to know how government can help seniors with limited incomes.  What is medicaid redesign going to look like.  How can the government help seniors who want to age in place--help with getting them the supports they need to stay out of nursing homes.  Snap out of Cis.

Please...This is just more scare, scare, and more scare.  This premis the "poor" seniors can't survive without direct government involvement in a senior center is such a farce.  What is cruel is, the politicization of the senior center and the seniors that get used by the politicians by holding the existence of the senior center over their heads.  They keep the seniors in a constant state of anxiety by repeating the lie of "if you don't vote for me, the senior center will close and seniors will be left in the cold" scare.  It's despicable.  

You either truly believe that to the Rotterdam residents would leave seniors in the cold to die if there was no town run senior center, OR you are such a political animal that you are willing to keep seniors in a state of fear and anxiety by perpetuating that lie for political gain.

Stop the lies big sis.

WE don't need anymore cuts to Title XX.  Agreed after this generation is gone, there will not be a need for senior centers.  Boomers don't want them.  They appear to have a different view on aging.  However, it's what many need now especially in the poorer areas of town.  Glenville has a great center.  Rotterdam is politicized because YOUR SENIORS STILL THINK THEY NEED TO COZY UP TO THE POLITICIAN OF THE MONTH.  Just check out TF and JS.  No lies here.  You just have a damaged look at seniors and their lives.  Seniors are NOT in a state of anxiety you damn fool.  You think after the lives they have lead, they would be in a state of anxiety about a bricks and mortar building?  Rotterdam needs to plan ahead.  NNORC planning would be good if they know how to leverage the funds to do the service.  They don't--not the Dems or the Reps.

Kudos for Cicero.....you are completely right in your thinking......when you see a place that was free of
any outside political influence turned seniors into robots.... it's an injustice to them and the community.

HEARD IN THE DONUT SHOP

What has happened the focus turned in the wrong way...not to benefit the seniors but to benefit personal
agenda...it's so easy to sway anyone these days with promises of sugar and spice...blowing smoke to
avoid the public ot seeing what really was the bottom line.  A stepping stone for someone climbing up
the political ladder..

The Sr Center need not be closed....but revamped with a new and impartial unconnected human being to run it
the way it should be run...  Right now , as in the past year....it's been unsupervised, and independant of how
it should serve the community.... and it was a hostile work place...due to retaliation and favoritism, at the
expense of 2 hard-working and dedicated former employees...they did nothing wrong but have spirit and
control of their own responsibilities to the seniors.  Anything else were total lies...

Turn this center around to what it stands for....Socializing, exercising and a means to still be active in the golden
years....The seniors deserve more than what has been "handed" to them in the past 2 years.

This Center has become an unnecessary focus to blow smoke for what should be a priority..Town government.
Diversity, compromise, ethics, and reform.

  Seniors are NOT in a state of anxiety you damn fool.  You think after the lives they have lead, they would be in a state of anxiety about a bricks and mortar building?  

What are you talking about?  You are the one who just said in your last post. "The message that should be given out here is not to leave seniors in the cold.  

My suggestion was to get the politics out of the senior center by running it a different way, through donation, volunteer, and fees.  You responded by saying running it another way would be sending a message of "leaving seniors in the cold".  Kind of extreme don't you think?  That's what the politicians do, in order to maintain control and influence among seniors; they scare the seniors into believing there are NO alternatives to running the senior center.  By removing the political element, these seniors don't have to be subjected to the fear mongering by the politicians of threats of closing the senior center every election year.  They don't have to suck up to one politician or another to keep their center.

How do you make privatizing the senior center so dire by saying I'm sending a message of "leave seniors in the cold" in one post, then in the following post say it's only bricks and mortar and no reason for seniors to be anxious?
