Mean Wittle Charwie Is Back

It didn’t take long for Mean Wittle Charwie to recover from the stunning losses he and Ashley suffered at the polls on Tuesday.  If possible, he’s meaner, whinier and more hateful than ever.  It seems everyone in town understands why Lou Desso ignores him, except him.  For the three times that Lou has run for office Charwie has led the charge in the most disgraceful attempt to viilify this man.  It’s a personal vendetta filled with hate.  There are many of us out here that hope you choke on the venom you spew.  This kind of campaign is absolutely unnecessary and what did or didn’t happen over 30 years ago is irrelevant today.  Lou was open and honest about his past.  He didn’t make excuses but he did change his life around and is helping others to do the same every day.  He is admired and respected by a great many people, something you’ll never be.

The Sewerline today sounds childish and petulant.  We can always tell when something gets to you Charwie, you start quoting law and threatening legal action.  The robocalls about Lou and the anonymous letters sent, may be enough for you to find your sorry ass in court.  It wouldn’t be so outrageously disgraceful if you were a person who has led an exemplary life, but you haven’t, have you?   Since this site tries always to tell thte truth, it’s important that the readers know that Lou wasn’t reading a map, it was the site plan for a proposed development and Al Spain didn’t whisper anything to Lou.  Just an example of Charwie’s over-active imagination or wishful thinking.  If  I were you Charwie  I’d get used to being ignored by Lou Desso.  What was done to Lou during this campaign was slanderous, tasteless and vicious.  The only thing it did was make people go to the polls in record numbers and pull the lever over Lou Desso’s name.  Thanks Charwie, you jackass.  Time for you and Dan to say goodbye to the town Dem. committee, you’ve certainly done enough damage.  Both of you are like a political two-man wrecking crew.

Hellos and Goodbyes

Well, the silly season has officially come to an end.  No more of those  constant robocalls which apparently weren’t very helpful.  It might have been okay once or even twce but four and sometimes five calls about the same  candidate was overkill.  So goodbye to Jan Liberty, Kevin Harrington, Trish Noel et al.  Josephine is the only one who may be staying around.  Iit may take the absentee ballots to decide whether gingham curtains get hung in the Supervisor’s Office or not.  But if Mark Evers ends up the winner, he owes a huge thank you to Kelly Hoffman and Joe Bott who essentially carried him to the point he now finds himself.  

Now, the thought is that all things being equal, we should be saying goodbye to Dan Ashley and Charlie Smith (Smashley), as the grand pooh bahs of the NG Democratic Committee.  If the purpose of the committee leaders is to choose viable candidates who can win elections,  they have failed miserably.  So far they’ve got Ashworth who is just squeaking in, (both Town Board candidates out gunned her by a lot),  and that goof Sabo who, because of the way the machines were set up where we voted,  looked as if  he were running unopposed.  That is not a good track record Smashley.  The Town Dem committee needs new leadership.   Maybe without you two in the mix the committee could actually attract some worthwhile candidates.  So a hopeful goodbye to those two jackasses.

District #2 Legislature Race -  Not one of Smashley’s finer moments.  You zeroed in on one candidate, Lou Desso.  You once again dragged him through the mud, reviled him, tried to embarrass him and his family, wrote articles about him, and worst of all had those disgracefull robocalls made with someone electronically disguising their voice, and saying terrible things about this man.  So tell us Smashley, how’d that work out for ya?  Who was the biggest vote getter in District #2?    LOUIS  J. DESSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bet you won’t forget him anytime soon!  A big hello and  most sincere  congratulations to  the rest of the Dist. #2 team –  Leon Fiacco, Mike Cristo and Phil Danaher.  Great job guys!  Now NG will have 4 legislators who will actually represent us!  Goodbye  Kevin Harrington, Phil Malone, Keith Hammond and Brian Zwieg.

To Kelly and Joe, Hello, I’m thrilled that the two of you are now on the Town Board.  Whoever ends up Supervisor, they’ll have to learn to do a lot of compromising.  The biggest disappointment for many of us was that Mike Miner didn’t make it.  He did a fantastic job, considering the awkward situation he found himself in.  He won the Conservative primary and lost at the Dem. caucus by a very few votes.  Couple that with Evers’ ambivalence, and Michael ran a wonderful campaign.  True to character, it was respectful, truthful and informative.  This is what a campaign is supposed to be, but in NG , campaigns such as Mike’s are in very short supply.  Fortunately, we don’t have to say goodbye to Michael, he’ll still be in the Building Dept.  doing a great job as usual.

NOW -GO TAKE DOWN THOSE BUTT UGLY SIGNS!!!!

ELECTION DAY – 2009

TODAY IS THE DAY WE,  AS A TOWN, CAN SAY “NO THANKS” TO DAN, CHARLIE AND THEIR SLATE OF BOZOS.  PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE.  VOTE FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WHO RAN A GOOD, RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THEY’RE GOOD RESPECTABLE  PEOPLE.  VOTE THE PERSON – NOT THE PARTY!!!!!!

                 *    VOTE   ROW D – THE CONSERVATIVE  LINE      *

What To Do, What To Do

Unless you live under a  rock, you know tomorrow is Election Day.  For those of you who still aren’t sure who deserves your vote, let us humblly make the following suggestions:

If you want members of the Defreestville  Area Neighborhood Association (DANA/GBP), running the Town of North Greenbush, then vote for the Democratic candidates for Town office.  Just remember all the damage, upheaval, and money this group has cost our Town.  We’re still recovering.  They wanted a Comprehensive Plan which favored their demands.  Luckily for the Town that didn’t pass.  A new more  Town friendly plan is ready to be voted on.  It takes into consideration the “entire” Town and not just what’s palatable to DANA.  The Charlie Smith candidates say they favor “smart growth”.  Sure they do, as long as that growth isn’t in Defreestville.  Don’t be tricked into votng for a Supervisor or Town Board members who will be controlled by Dan Ashley and Charlie Smith and who will not treat the residents of the Town with respect and fairness, regardless of their political affiliations.   VOTE NO TO ROW A!!!!!!!!!!!  A vote for these people will let Dan Ashley and Charlie Smith run our Town for the next two years.  The two exceptions to this  are Judge Andrew Ceresia and Judge Ray Elliott,  Both men are desserving of your vote.  Two roses among the thorns, if you will.

To avoid confusion and avoid throwing too many names at you, it will simplify your lives if you just move to the Conservative line (D), and go straight across and elect the very best group of individuals to represent you and your concerns in Town Hall and the Rensselaer County Legislature.  The candidates for Supervisor and Town Board on the Conservative line are Mike Miner, Kelly Hoffman and Joe Bott.  Not a politician in the bunch,  just people who are dedicated to our Town and “all” her residents.   No preferential treatment for political cronies.

WE ENDORSE THE FOLLOWING – MICHAEL MINER,  SUPERVISOR,  KELLY HOFFMAN,  JOE BOTT  - TOWN BOARD   KATIE CONNOLLY -  TOWN CLERK,   STEPHANIE PIEL  -  TOWN JUSTICE

 LOU DESSO, LEON FIACCO, MIKE CRISTO, PHIL DANAHER  -  RENSSELAER COUNTY LEGISLATURE

There is a lot of new blood in the above list.  Young, new faces who are eager to do the best possible job of representing you and your concerns.  Please give them the opportunity.  Remember:  —-

VOTE THE INDIVIDUAL  -  NOT THE POLITICAL PARTY

Witches and Goblins and Trolls

Tomorrow is Halloween and Cluckie and his little band of witches and goblins and trolls are getting ready to celebrate early at their big rally.   The head witch, Josephine Ashworth will be on hand with her own broom.  She will  be accompanied by the two other witches Trish Noel and  Jan Liberty.  Ashworth and Noel belong to DANA who, as a group has done so many deceptive and destructive things to our Town.  Jan Liberty is the perennial candidate for Town Clerk .  The three of them would like to think they are their own witches in control of their own coven, but in reality they are and will be controlled by the Head Goblins.  That would be Dan Goblin and Cluckie Goblin, who control every aspect of the campaign and their candidates.  There are a couple of lesser goblins who will most likely be there, Rich Fennelly if he doesn’t have to drive in from Berlin or attend a DANA or GBP meeting.  There is the much lesser Josh Sabo goblin who is trying to figure out how he manged to become a lawyer.  He may also be late because he’s trying to figure out how to answer questions about being the preident of a group that has DANA listed as a charity.  All in all this is a pretty scary group politically.

Our County candidates on the DanGoblin and Cluckie Goblin line are equally frightening fro the residents of NG.  Of course the winner of this group is Kevin Harrington, who hasn’t quite made it to goblin (it’s because of his general discharge from the US Navy), so he has to be content to be a troll.  The other troll is Phil Malone from EG, who tried to elbow his way in as our Assessor but was so arrogant he got booed out of the room.  Don’t know when he’d find the time to do his other jobs, we hear he delivers things like pizzas and newspapers.  OMG, what  was Tom Wade Goblin and Dan Goblin and Cluckie Goblin thinkin’!!!!!!!!!!!!!     The other two lesser goblins, Hammond and Zwieg suffer from a lack of representing NG on anything.  These guys were never there to speak up for the voters or the Town employees when we needed them, and believe it, when the flying monkeys and Dan Goblin and Cluckie Goblin ran things, we needed them, but they were nowhere to be found.

Isn’t that Judge that Cluckie’s crowing about today, the one who was censured and has been accused again of wrong doing?  Cluckie has never let Ehrlich or Bauer alone, I can’t believe he’s so welcoming to this dude.  Oh, right, the guy’s a County choice so Cluckie’s gotta love him.    I’m just sorry that Judge Ceresia an Judge Elliot have to be part of this group.  They are fine men and don’t agree with the tactics of Ashley goblin and Smith goblin.  Same for Mark Premo, he had his chance to get away from them, wish he would, he doesn’t need them, he could win elections without them.

All and all except for the three  non-goblins, this is a damn scary bunch and voters will be in for a lot more tricks than treats if you vote for them.  You do have a choice.  Mike Miner-Supervisor, Kelly Hoffman-Town Board and Joe Bott -Town Board are the best choices for voters in NG.  Dist.#2 for the Legislature are Lou Desso, Leon Fiacco, Mike Cristo and Phil Danaher.  It looks as if the Conservatives got it right this year and we strongly urge you to go the the Conservative line and let your fingers do the walking.

Enjoy a safe Halloween and if any of Dan Goblin or Cluckie Goblin’s witches, goblins or trolls come to your door, don’t let them trick you.

This Just Gets Better and Better

Constable Warren where have you been all my life?   I ‘ve been looking for you, it seems like forever.  As much fun and as rewarding as this blog has been,  it’s been just me and Charlie dueling with one another.  Kinda lonely sometimes, so I was ecstatic when I saw the appearance and  quality of Constable Warren’s blog, Our Town.  With both of us taking  on Mr. Smith,  it’s harder for him to spread his political manure when he’s in a crossfire.  If any of the blog readers have ever  tried to deal rationally with an irrational person, you’ll understand how difficult it  has  been sometimes.

What is particularly helpful to this blog  is Constable Warren’s ability to get records, records to back up his statements. The Vertias blog is mostly about word of mouth and some phone calls verfying what has been said.  But written records fight Charlie at his own game.  It must be working because you always know when you’ve pushed the right buttons, Charlie goes ballistic and starts tearing into whoever is in his sights at the moment.  The angrier he gets the more he rants.  The more he rants, the crazier he looks.  Charlie should be ready for that padded room in the very near future.   Charlie doesn’t like it when people find out “stuff” that he’d rather people didn’t know or had forgotten about.  Thanks to Constable Warren’s Our Town and our Vertias, Charlie has taken a lot more walks down Memory Lane than he’d care  to.  For us it just gets better, for Charlie, not so much.

Constable  Warren’s latest bombshell regarding DANA being a CHARITY for God’ss sake would be laughable  if  it   weren’t so infuriating.  The fact that Josh Sabo is involved, not surprising.  If he were any kind of lawyer at all (which he’s not), he would never have involved himelf with  Ashley, Smith or DANA.   This situation needs to be given to the NYS Attorney General’s office ASAP,  it should also be publicized so that the voters of NG know the type of people who are asking for their votes on the Dem and GBP tickets.  After all the Dem ticket IS the GBP ticket, and the GBP ticket is DANA.  The whole bunch of them are self-serving  charlatans who need to be exposed.  We urge our readers in the strogest possible way to spread the word about this bunch of  hypocrits.  We also think a statement of explanation from Josh Sabo is very much in order.

Cluckie Hits a New Low in Buttholedness

Holy Moley!  Could Cluckie reach any further into his bag of nasty crap than he has today?  The answer is most likely no.  How childish and vicious can anyone possibly be.  He sounds as if  he’s out on the school playground and someone told the teacher on him.  Cluckie, being who and what he is,  of course  found it necessary to retaliate.  That’s almost  understandable if we were talking about children.  We’re  not talking about children we’re talking about a person who’s supposed to be an adult, a grown man, at least chronologically.  Emotionally he’s about 10 – 11 , tops.   Cluckie does need to explain why he’s going through this whole expose’ again.  He says it’s because of all those mean things that were said about his saintly cousin, Kevin Harrington.  Okay, so as usual he is driven to hit back and uses that as an excuse, but what was his excuse four years ago, two years ago, when no one said a damn thing about wittle Kevin and his disgraceful military record?  The truth is Cluckie Smith doesn’t need a reason to be hateful and disstructive, he comes by it  naturally.  Apparently you can say whatever you want about Cluckie and Dan, just don’t tell the truth about any of their candidates, especially if they’re related.  Aside from the fact that the Lou Desso Story is all old news,  anybody who wants to know already does ,and the rest are sick o hearing about it.  Besides, at  his worst, Lou never was reponsible for anyone’s death unlike Kevin and certain members of the Wynantskill School Board, isn’t that right Cluckie?  You are truly sickening, spreading your venom and hate all in the name of politics.  You and anyone connected with you are dangerous people who are no more suited to represent the residents of this Town and County, than the bunch of bobbeheads that they are and the miserable humanbeing you are.

What’s That Smell??????????

Sniff, Sniff, there’s an odor in the air in North Greenbush and it’s not pleasant.   It’s coming from the direction of the NG Democratic Headquarters and it stinks!  When skunks get frightened they spray that malodorous smell we all recognize.  This odor  is worse,, much worse.   After reading Cluckie’s blog  today we realized what was causing  that  awful stink.   It’s the smell of desperation, mixed in with panic and fear.  That’s the only logical reason for Cluckie’s less than rational rant today.  Some folks must be pushing the right buttons to get Cluckie to flail around taking shots at  Tyler Sawyer, Rich Crist and Lou Desso.  That stinky steam must be comin’ right out of  his ears.  Kevin Harrington DOES  NOT  HAVE  AN  HONORABLE  DISCHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Rich Crist was not arrested, charged or otherwise  punished for sexual harrassment.  It was all political vindictiveness with guess who right in the middle.  Lou Desso was never convicted of sodomy and has never lied about or tried to hide his past,  unlike Kevin who kept the truth hidden because he had reason to be ashamed.  Cluckie is so terrified that his bunch of DANA bozos are going to lose  it all, that he’s actually the one who’s losing it all.

LOU DESSO UP FRONT AND PERSONAL

Since Lou isn’t a “blogger” we spoke to him yesterday to get his response on what Charlie wrote about him.. Lou said he had heard about the blog but didn’t give it much thought. He went on to say, “write whatever you want, my life is an open book and I’m very proud of who I am and what I’ve accomplished”. “I’ve been clean and sober for almost 27 years and helping people for the last 25 years”. “That’s what I do HELP PEOPLE, and serving my community is an extension of that”.
If anyone wants to know more about Lou you can visit his web site by clicking on the following link: http://www.loudesso.com which has been recently updated with his platform on the home page. In the news article section there is a story entitled ”Beautiful Victory: Journey of Recovery” which he wrote himself for the Saratogian News some time ago in an effort to help others and thank his family. He has had over 1,300 visits to his website and he has told every house he has visited (over 4,000) to take a look. This guy DOESN’T HIDE ANYTHING FROM ANYONE. Word has it that on Oct. 29th he’ll be speaking to 6th thru 12th graders and their parents at St. Judes regarding Alcohol and Substance abuse. Knowing him he will be self disclosing not only in his home Town but in his home parish. This guy has done a lot for this community and does not deserve to be torn down by the likes of Charlie Smith.

Cluckie Outdoes Himself in the Dumb Department

Over the years Cluckie (aka CB Smith), has done his best to try and destroy the reputations of his political  “enemies”, while at the same time not uttering one negative syllable against those he deems “worthy”,  regardless of  how unsavory their behavior might be.  This time, however, Cluckie picked the wrong  person to dump on.

Tyler Sawyer, former Supervisor of the Town of Grafton, and former Comptroller for the Town of North Greenbush, just happens to  be a retired 23-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, who left the Navy with an  HONORABLE duscharge. He was  disgusted with the denials, lies and cover-up perpetrated by Kevin Harrington.   Tyler felt compelled to write a letter to other veterans and express his feelings .   Cluckie acts as if  no one is capable of composing a letter without outside help.  Because  Cluckie ghost writes letters for his little group of Dem bobbleheads, he assumes  everyone is incapable of writing a letter unassisted.   He’s such a pompous, arrogant  ass,  he doesn’t realize how foolish he appears to those of  us who know what kind of a person Cluckie really is.   To rehash the Oath Book incident is a waste of time.  The Clerk’s office was open and empty, the Comptroller had every right to check and make sure everyone had signed the Oath Book, because the Comptroller has to verify the payroll,  no signee Oath Book, no checkee.   The  drama  involved was unecessary and for political purposes only.,  since the Dems turned on the Clerk and tried to do the same thing to her two years later.  What  a bunch of hypocrits!  If Tyler were a Dem, there wouldn’t have been a soap opera.

Nice fundraier for Mike Miner and Kelly Hoffman the other night.  The letter from Paul Tazbir is going to be a great help to Michael’s campaign.  Paul is well-respected and an endorsement from him is worth it’s weight in gold.  Mike’s campaign is going very well.  It’s such a shame that Mark Evers didn’t keep his word and drop out of the race.  The GOP can’t be happy with his lack of campaigning or enthusiasm,  To Ernie:  Mark can’t promise you anything, even if he won he wouldn’t have the votes.  He should be ashamed of himself.

Why the hell is John Hebert (CB) writing  a letter to the Advertiser and signing as if he’s from Wynantskill?   Did wifey throw his ass out and now he’s back with Mommy, or is Cluckie so desperate he thought he’d use Hebert’s name and nobody would notice?  Such a fine person to be writing a letter.  Did absolutely nothing but spy for Dan and CB the whole time he worked in the Building Dept.  Drew those demeaning political cartoons for CB.  WFD wanted nothing to do with him after he humliated himelf and the fire department.  Yup, he’ a great one to be writing letters and accusing anybody of doing anything  unethical.   What a joke he is!!!!!!!!!

Actually the Dem slate is loaded with jokes, really bad jokes.  The leaders are a couple of jokes and so are the candidates.  There are more skeletons rattling around with that bunch than in a graveyard.  The Dem/DANA/GBP party are bad news, bad news for the Town and bad news for the voters.  Here’s hoping the GOP and the Conservs get their message across or NG is going to be in deep doo doo for the next two years.  Voters have to be re-educated  not  to vote  for the party, but rather for  the  individuals who will best represent their interests.  Again apologies to Ray Elliot and Andy Ceresia, you two are not included in the criticism.

Former Republican Town Supervisor Paul Tazbir endorses Conservative

Dear North Greenbush Voters,

As a resident of North Greenbush and former North Greenbush Town Supervisor I am fully aware of the needs of our community, the expectations and responsibilities of Town Government and the qualities and character needed to effectively lead our Town government in the role of Supervisor. It is for this reason that I am writing to express my support for Michael Miner in his campaign for Town Supervisor.

During my four years as Supervisor I worked closely with Michael and saw firsthand his dedication, honesty, leadership and character. Mike has ten years experience as head of the Building department, serves on the North Greenbush Youth Board and was formerly the Youth Director and Teen Center Director. Mike has been involved with budgeting, planning, grant writing, recreation programs, park improvements, and has a strong understanding of all aspects of Town government. He has worked closely with Planning and Zoning Boards, Emergency Services, as well as several town administrations. Mike has always been an advocate for the safety and well-being of our seniors, as demonstrated by his operation of the Emergency Shelter at the Town Hall during last winter’s ice storm. In addition, Mike is a lifelong resident of North Greenbush graduating from Gardner-Dickinson School, LaSalle Institute and R.P.I. For nearly twenty years Mike has shown a constant willingness to serve the community of North Greenbush and has demonstrated an ability to effectively communicate with people, businesses and professionals. Having worked directly with officials from New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation, Department of  Transportation, The Department of State, The State Comptroller’s Office, Rensselaer County’s Health Department, Highway Department, Bureau of Public Safety and Bureau of Finance. Mike is well prepared for the responsibilities and
expectations of this position.

Although I am a strong supporter of the Republican Party and typically ask for support for the party’s candidates, I am asking for you to make an exception in this instance and vote for the most qualified candidate for Supervisor. I believe Michael is the right choice for Supervisor. On Tuesday, November 3rd please elect Michael Miner as our next Town Supervisor.

Sincerly,
Paul Tazbir

This article was sent to us and we wanted to pass this along to everyone “Miner for Supervior”
