bob is not the best but all the hope we have to beat Stevie ego
If you thought 'no change' was the best to beat tommasone, looks like 'Beets' ain't got a chance!

"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."

I'm not a Rotterdam resident, but it sounds like most on this board are not content with their choices for Town Supervisor this year. Have all of the candidates been announced?
The supervisor candidates have been announced-Steve T and someone who couldn't even win a Town Board seat, Richard Beets. Steve in a huge landslide. Wachala numbers.
After all of Sal's disinformation Godlewski is running for Town Board. Slow down on the expresso. Godlewski couldn't even win a Conservative primary when his name was on the ballot. We had to write in Ang's name. His running mate is the principal of Mt Pleasant where no one knew about the Mad Bomber? An explosive combination. A gasbag and an expert at looking the other way. Only in Rotterdam?
Beets, Leets or whoever does not impress me! And Godlewski shouldn't even run. It's his last chance to save his reputation or what he has left of it. He should have gone out quietly and left well enough alone! IMHO

Bill Cook, head of the Rotterdam Democratic Committee, is confident that all of the candidates running on the Democratic line are strong choices.
“We have an excellent slate and I believe that they’re probably going to be successful in November. I think that’s good for Rotterdam,” said Cook.
Appearing on the ballot are Matt Martin, Robert Godlewski and Nicki Di Leva. The Rotterdam Democratic Committee has endorsed all three.
“Bob Godlewski and Nicki Di Leva are both vote getters. Bob was elected to Town Council three years ago and then he vacated and went for the county and got over 6,000 votes,” said Cook.
He added that Martin, 24, is “what all the communities are looking for — a young, intelligent man. He’s what we’ve been trying to find for years — young people who are up front, talented and intelligent.
Martin said he was encouraged to try to break into politics when he was following the election in the fall.
“I thought that rather than just sit around and wait for things to happen, I figured that the best thing to do would be to get involved,” said Martin.
His main concerns are examining the town’s tax base and “getting taxes under control,” poviding accountability and transparency and an overall paradigm shift of the town, “rather than keeping things going the same way.”
He wants to try to look at things in a different perspective – “to not only look at the inner segment of the age population, but to try and look on the outbound - to look at the 18- to 30-year-olds,” said Martin.
Being only 24 himself, he thinks he could relate to the younger population more than anyone else on the ticket.
He said that he would also like to come up with solutions to better promote economic development in the town.
Martin was born and raised in Rotterdam and is a graduate of Schalmont High School. He holds a B.S. from Rochester Institute of Technology and is pursuing his M.S. from Union Graduate School in Engineering and Management Systems. Martin is employed at GE Energy as a mechanical design engineer.
Di Leva said that she’s running for Town Council because she cares.
“I believe that Rotterdam needs a change, one that everyone can believe in,” Di Leva said in an e-mail.
She said that she is a team player who believes that town officials must listen to their constituents.
“We need a more transparent and open government where our residents have a voice that is heard. We need to create fair assessments with continuous updates so the tax rolls stay current,” said Di Leva.
She said that she believed the town’s reassessments were “very painful to many, myself included.”
She wants to promote more programs for youths, teens and senior citizens. Di Leva is mother to Nicholas Di Leva, 19. She holds a master’s degree in education from The College of Saint Rose and is the assistant principal of Mont Pleasant Middle School.
She is a former Schenectady County Legislator, District 1, and served as the county legislature majority leader.
Godlewski has lived in Rotterdam for 50 years and believes he knows his town well. He held a position on the Rotterdam Town Council for one year in 2007.
“People are looking for tax relief,” said Godlewski, who calls himself fiscally conservative.
“I have a philosophy.… You shouldn’t be bonding anything until you know what your budget is going to be,” said Godlewski, who added that he understands when something needs to be bonded because of an emergency.
He said he has a “critical eye” when it comes to spending money.
“I don’t like to spend it. I like to invest it,” said Godlewski. “I have a Democratic heart, but I have a conservative wallet and that’s my philosophy.”
He would like to see more open government, park development and improvements in the Rotterdam Senior Citizens Center.
Godlewski served on the Rotterdam Planning Commission for four years, the Mohonasen Board of Education for five years and has served on the Rotterdam Democratic Committee for 10 years.
He is a graduate of Mohonasen High School and holds an associate’s degree in applied science from Cobleskill. He retired in 2007 from Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. He resides with his wife, Rose, and has three children.
Did Bill change his name? Last time when he ran for town supervisor (and the time before, and the time before), didn't he spell it Cooke? Oh, but this isn't the People's Gazette, they might have made a mistake against the wrong party. Watch out, the Metrocrats will be coming down hard on the Spotlight.
Dileva is running because "she cares" and for is for "change". Where have we heard that before? Mt Pleasant Jr High? Let me guess she never heard of The Mad Bomber, never saw him.
Yes Cook is Cooke, do you expect fact checking at the press? They prefer to print press releases. Gasbag Godlewski LOST when he ran for County Office. He lost the important CONS line to a write in named ANG SANTABARBARA. Try spelling that correctly in a dark booth. Aside from Del Gallo don't see much electable here.
When even Sal doesn't know his candidate the Krats are in trouble. Richard Beets?
