Quoted from GrahamBonnet
    Well people should ask Judy  and that other guy the whats and whys of the Big House. While you are asking them inquire about the Duanesburg Library renovation, which was announced to great hoopla a few years ago when Judy was running for office. Also check on the grant to the little league or Pop Warner park the county had a press conference for in Duanesburg too. Maybe we can ask Rene the status of the grant. I think it was from 2005 or something. Also find out how the Little League park land is going since they said it would be a fine piece of land without wetlands to buy for the Little League. See how all those successes have proved to be.

    Oh, plus ask about the downtown library expansion she supported that went down the drain and ask her how much money was wasted on it before they decided to just not do it. It would be nice to know how many millions have been spent on chasing pipedreams and making up fiction to get re-elected. How would the budget be today if that money was saved for the taxpayers instead of being wasted?

What is nice about Angelo is that he quickly realized the seriousness of the county financial situation and voted along with another legislator, Suhrada, to NOT waste the millions of dollars that this "new team" wastes.



Duanesburg Library renovation?  What Duanesburg Library renovation?  As a matter of fact barely one year after all the "great hoopla" of expansion we were fighting to keep it open normal hours.  You may recall they cut the hours of some libraries and Duanesburg branch was hit particularly hard. First they want to sink a bundle into it then they don't want to keep it open.......go figure.  Not to mention we would have to travel 15 miles to get to the next closest library.  

The park grant did come to fruition, we were able to build a small facility for restrooms and storage of park equipment.  24'X36', nothing extravagant but will serve our needs well.  The county provided $100,000 for this and we needed to add about $30,000 to complete it.  Next year we will work on landscaping and some final details.  Believe me, the restrooms are a welcome addition considering the porta johns we have used in the past.  Especially considering they get tipped over on a regular basis.  I want to clarify that this is a Town park for all residents to use, it is not a Little League park or a Pop Warner park.  Little League uses it for practice, but they have their own facility toward the western end of town.  They take care of it themselves.  Pop Warner does call the town park their "HOME" field but it is a town park.  Pop Warner has made improvements and worked on the park at their own expense.  The grant was for the town park, not for Little League or Pop Warner.

Cow tipping aside Duanesburg is the only library that must be expanded. It is not a 5 minute drive to another branch, as in the City. City branches that should have been closed remain open.

     The fact that Judy D would deceive the voters is no surprise. She did absolutely nothing to fight for the expansion nor expanded library hours. Heard a rumor that she will not seek re-election again. Finally, some positive County news.

He gets very upset over the slightest GOP tax cut, but is queerly silent on those authored by the Socialist party. All taxes are not equal according to Bob Godloseski. The funniest thing he ever said is " I am a Republican in the wallet." He basically admitted Democrats love to spend more money then they have, which isn't theirs to begin with!  

But nobody believes him anyway about being a Republican! He is full of it.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Working with the team or FOR THE TAXPAYERS? Big difference here sal. Cause 'non of them' not one in any party, is working for the taxpayer!
