Of course we know his voting record...and I will repeat....

I would not vote for Mr. Kosiur because he is a democrat. After living through what the dem's have done to not only Schenectady, but how they have left Rotterdam in the mess it is today, I would not vote for him.
Mr. Kosiur may be a nice guy...but he's a part of the political democratic platform...and I do not want him to be my 'state' representative.....so no vote from me! And that is not just my opinion, that is my right!

Could you supply us with the facts and his complete voting record?
Are you telling me you have commented on his voting record, yet you don't really know how he's voted????
Are you telling us that you don't, and you can't give it to us after you came in here spouting off about how good his record is? I have no clue what his record is, but I see the reality of what the County government has done every time I need to pay my taxes, go to the store to buy something (that's right, Rotterdam's sales tax was 4% before we went to county wide sales tax, then to 7%, 8%, and are we now at 8 1/4%?). Looks as though the county has doubled the sales tax, much less some of the other taxes in the past 20-25 years. Now, that's a record I understand. You have other information? Please share.
Look, don't just come in here spouting off. If you're going to tell us how good a politician is, back it up with the facts on what he has done so far. That's all we ask.
Wow! Three posts for Pat in response to mine. I take it I struck a nerve.
To admin, I am well aware that opinions are welcome here. That is why I came and shared mine. I am also aware that "pot stirring" is legal, due to free speech. But that doesn't mean it has to go unchallenged.
Personally, I COULDN'T care less that you think Ed Kosiur is a "fraud." You throw that term around with nothing to back it up, so it holds no weight. You dislike him personally. Big whoop. Sounds to me like you don't even know him. All you have are a few vague stories of "I ran ito Ed Kosiur here or there" and because he didn't tell you exactly what you wanted to hear he's a "FRAUD."
"Stole it?" Dramatic much? How do you know the idea was stolen and not discussed or shared? BRING IT ON, ED. Some of the best laws we have in place today originated because of input from various sources. Surely you can recognize this.
Or maybe not.
I don't give a rat's behind about your blog. But I might remind you that libel is still libel. And you have used your name. You might want to be careful about what you say on NUMEROUS blogs on the internet. (Especially since you are so easily identified.)
Free speech is great. Bet let's not forget about accountability where libel is concerned:
Libel
1. Law. a. defamation by written or printed words, pictures, or in any form other than by spoken words or gestures. b. the act or crime of publishing it. c. a formal written declaration or statement, as one containing the allegations of a plaintiff or the grounds of a charge.
2. anything that is defamatory or that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents. –verb (used with object) 3. to publish a libel against. 4. to misrepresent damagingly. 5. to institute suit against by a libel, as in an admiralty court.
1. A false publication, as in writing, print, signs, or pictures, that damages a person's reputation. The act of presenting such material to the public. The written claims presented by a plaintiff in an action at admiralty law or to an ecclesiastical court.
No, no nerves struck, I was just PO'd about that sh*t you let drop out of your own fingertips about my head being up Amedore's a**. You fancy yourself quite the expert here, "visiting nurse."
But like I said. You like Kosiur, so vote for him. I don't care either. And your litany of bullshit about libel over my blog is just that. Bullshit.
Kosiur is a lousy representative. My opinion. Kosiur is riding on nothing. I couldn't stand Tonko either so stick that up you know where. Kosiur's only in it for Kosiur.
I would not vote for Mr. Kosiur because he is a democrat. After living through what the dem's have done to not only Schenectady, but how they have left Rotterdam in the mess it is today, I would not vote for him.
But wait, there's more!
Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining, Bumble. You aren't just looking at this from a Partisan standpoint.
Per your own quotes:

I think that we all should do the same as you said BK. Remember the words we are all waiting to hear...'cut spending'?....well Kosiur ain't about that! He is a spend and tax politician. So he's a 'no vote' for me and would encourage people to do the same.
Quoted Text
Again...any politician that talks about starting any new programs, should not...let me repeat....should not be voted into office. We need politicians who's platform is soley about cutting spending. That is the name of the game here. NYS has overtaxed us beyond our limits due to all of the rediculous programs and new laws on the books, that we need to come up for air and put the breaks on! CUT SPENDING!
Quoted Text
agree in theory with you on your idea shadow....but everytime we think we have seen/heard it all.....we, the taxpayers, get the pie in our face!
But Amedore will get my vote and I would encourage all to do the same.
Kosiur comes from a city that is raping their taxpayers, crime is rampant, drugs are everywhere, the police dept. is corrupt, the city allows itself to be run by the PBA and you can find a prostitue just about anywhere. Who, in their right mind would even vote for someone who comes from a political position in a city that is in this bad of shape?
Mt.Pleasant and Bellevue is turning into the beginiing of Hamilton Hill! And Kosiur will run on this sex offender thing! Cause that is all he's got!
And the metroplex?...that only covers 1 1/2 blocks of the city...the rest is in shambles. I lock my car door every single time I drive through the city...day or night! So thank you Mr. Kosiur for that...job well done!
You seem to have a fair amount to say with regard to Mr Kosiur's "tax and spend" record. Yet then you turn around and say "nothing personal, he's Dem, so he won't get my vote, that's all."
As for the state of Svhenectady, we needn't "thank Mr. Kosiur for that." I've been locking my car doors and seeing drug dealers and prostitutes on the streets since the Duci administration. Are you new to the area? But I also have recently seen a lot of improvements in the area that were absent in the past. There is progress. It's slow, but the mess wasn't created overnight, nor will it be cleaned up quickly. Rome wasn't built in a day.
MBKB1 is either a PLANT, and potted at that, or another political hack. No other words for it. Too much info on the Democrat Sophism here in Schenectady County.
Are you sure you aren't Doctor D I C K? I wouldn't be surprised.
I have a feeling that we've all just met Kosiur's campaign manager. Yes sometimes taxes have to be raised but why then is Schenectady's taxes higher than everyone else in the country? I've also seen what Democratic machine in Schenectady has done with our tax money and I think that it's a crime how the residents were treated. The Schdy City Council has taxed many residents right out of the city. Many people can't sell their homes to get out of town because nobody wants to settle here with our high taxes and less than stellar school system. Now that the city has come up with a surplus in the budget5 at times, why weren't the taxes lowered to give residents a break. The Dems have shown me only one thing that all they want to do is tax and spend for their own pet projects. Wow, a graffiti law. sex and offender law is really going to make life easier on the residents. Will they help the residents to pay their taxes, feed their family, put clothes on their family, or find them a good paying job? Nothing has been done in the city except to build up downtown area. Has the city council corrected all the problems with the police dept yet? HE'S PART OF THE PROBLEM HE'S GOT TO GO.
It is quite obvioius that we have been hit with the 'democratic, socialist, tax and spend, liberal, dictatorship' HACK!!
If anyone wants to vote for Kosiur...just talk to the people who live in Schenectady! And you will clearly NOT vote for him! And let me tell ya one thing....this 'hack job' is surely hurting his democratic cause and helping the republican's! So with that said....I guess, 'keep up the good work'!

Pat....You couldn't have made it any clearer than this!
have a feeling that we've all just met Kosiur's campaign manager.
Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Not exactly! I doubt his campaign manager has the time nor the inclination to be posting here. Frankly, I don't even know who that person is. Nor am I a registered Democrat, for that matter. Sorry to dissapoint. And not that it's anyone's business. Just wanted to clear that up.
Why is it that because I come here with a differing view I must be a "hack" or a "potted plant" etc.? Oh, that's right..These are the same people calling Kosiur an "a**" and a "fraud." OF COURSE! What else can I expect, tea and cookies?
SCHENECTADY COUNTY Towns push back on sex offender laws County legislation called ‘Band-Aid’ answer to problem BY MARK ROBARGE Gazette Reporter
Officials in the county’s five towns are asking the Schenectady County Legislature to reconsider the harshest rules in the region restricting where convicted sex offenders can live. At its Wednesday night meeting, the Glenville Town Board agreed to send a letter expressing its opposition to the laws and asking county officials to explain the reasoning behind the measures. Once the county responds, officials said, they will decide on their next step, which could include a formal resolution asking for the repeal or developing a new law to reflect the needs of the town. “They seem to have made a decision without the proper research ahead of time . . . and that’s what we’re looking for,” said board member Edward Rosenberg. “Maybe they can justify their actions, but it doesn’t seem like they can.” The county Legislature passed a pair of laws June 12 making it a misdemeanor for a convicted sex offender to live within 2,000 feet of any facility associated with children. The laws also give the county the authority to remove any registered sex offender who has not moved out of an excluded area by Oct. 1. The county’s five town supervisors complained at the time they weren’t consulted when the legislation was developed and that it would force sex offenders to move into rural areas in their communities. They have since sent their own letter through the county’s Committee on Intergovernmental Cooperation. “I’m concerned that this is a Band-Aid approach to a complex problem and that we’re just exporting the problem to areas where there might not even be sufficient monitoring,” said Glenville board member Mark Quinn. The Niskayuna Town Board planned to ask the Legislature to repeal the laws or at least push back the date when it will begin evicting offenders. Instead, the board has decided to react in similar fashion to Glenville, first making the request in a letter and then considering future action based on the county’s response. The Duanesburg Town Board approved a resolution Thursday demanding the county rescind the sex offender legislation. The resolution also asks the Legislature to first consult with all Schenectady County municipalities before creating a new law governing sex offender residency. Nearly 60 residents turned out to the board’s regular monthly meeting to voice opposition to the law and support the resolution. Many of those attending the standing-room-only meeting expressed concern over sex offenders migrating to the rural town, where there is a much smaller police presence. “People out here are just really upset with this,” town Supervisor Rene Merrihew said before the meeting. Princetown’s board passed a similar resolution Tuesday, asking the Legislature to investigate better ways to deal with sexual predators. Town Supervisor Muriel Peterson said the laws neglect to account for the needs of Princetown. “It’s important to have them all identifi ed and watched, and we’re not sure the law accomplishes that,” she said. Rotterdam board members are expected to act on a resolution later this month or in early August asking the county to rescind the law. Supervisor Steve Tommasone said by effectively moving sex offenders to the rural areas of the county, the laws leave the towns to track those offenders. “It’s really going to act to relocate these individuals from the city of Schenectady to the towns,” he said during Wednesday’s town board meeting. “All you’re really doing is shifting them from one part of your community to another, and it really doesn’t address the issue of protecting our children.” Quinn said if the county refuses to repeal the law, he would be willing to consider legislation offering similar restrictions to protect rural parts of the town, “but I would have to give it great thought.” He said he would prefer the state toughen sentencing guidelines so sex offenders spend more time behind bars and use civil confinement to hold offenders after they have completed their sentences if they are still considered a threat. “After plea bargains and after good time served, these terms are often just a few years for offenses that should be yielding much longer sentences,” Quinn said.
Thank you for pushing this out of your city and into our towns (without discussing it with it's supervisors/majors) so we can clean up your mess. And perhaps Barbara could get those 'taggers' to paint 'vote for Kosiur' signs all over the city. Bet there'd be no fines for that! If elected, what else are you going to dump on the counties?
