What is transparency anyway ???

 We really didn't  want to get into this  topic,   but  it really sheds light on the  nasty under-belly-(pun intended) of these  so-called  reform party standouts, and  they have  not  ceased their  attack on McCabe so one  good  turn deserves  another !. 
  Two of us  had to go to Motor Vehicle this past Monday and while we were in Town Hall  we overheard a conversation between  two or three  Town Hall workers regarding the amount of time  spent  each day   answering the  never-ending  foil  requests of   Sean K. Mulvey and  Ray Mooney.
  While   trying not to make it  appear like we were  listening ,  couldn't help  hear about the  tremendous amount of time  wasted  each and everyday gathering  or  attempting to gather the  stats that these two  GADFLIES  require -  and  for  WHAT?
  As has been reported on this  blog , Sean K. Mulvey is a   STIPEND  receiver  from the  Hudson School District -  YES  he  received a  STIPEND  from  his  employer  in 2009.   Stipends are a  normal part of  business in the  real world and are  recognized as being  an accepted  business practice.
 **  Note to  Don Johnson ;  drop it -  you'll  lose  this  one  too ! **
 Ray Mooney has lived  in East  Greenbush for  3 or  4 years  only.  He has  annoited himself  as the  "savior of the  taxpayer".
 I find  both of them to be  deplorable examples of  individuals who purport themselves as being  good  citizens who care about our  Town  when in fact the  reality of the  situation is that they only  want  to embarass current  elected officials  because their  chosen  candidates were  exposed as  FRAUDS and  were shown the door  on November 2nd by the  good  people of East Greenbush - people who saw thru the  never ending  slander and twisted rhetoric of the  Cristo/Taylor camp.
  They like to think they  actually  got  49% of the  vote - reality is that many  people  simply  vote  party lines regardless of who is on it  and I'd be  willing to bet that if we could have polled the  electorate - 51% of their  49%  didn't have a  clue  who Taylor  or  Cristo  were !
  The  downright nasty campaign  platform endorsed by  Republican Chairman  Tom DeJulio failed  as it should have -  however they still persist !
  Mike Cristo tried to make something out of nothing  with his intentional taking of the  oath for County Legislature.  When you read  the  judges  decision, it  very  clearly stated  that once they took their oath of office for  Rensselaer County ,they automatically  vacate the lower seat.  It was a  concious decision by each of them to walk away from their  Town seat and  move to the  County seat.  The  gamesmanship   that occured the next few months was  truley a  spectacle of what could only be  described as a  canival type  atmosphere  as  Cristo put on the  "poor me"  persona  and  Taylor  stood by his  side and  screamed and yelled to anyone who would  listen.
   Lets get right  down to it here -  they lost - ( Thank God)  and  hopefully  after they've been shown the  exit  twice  each now  by the  voters in East Greenbush - they can stop the fooling  around - The  audit  shows  nothing  criminal and  a  forensic  audit  is  simply a  waste of taxpayer dollars.
  The  poorly timed post about the  Police  K-9  unit  -  which was nothing more than a  ploy for  Police  support  after they both made serious threatening public  statements about  closing the  Town Police  operations  down.
    The  never-ending  attack on Toni Murphy was  obscene and  pathetic. To write about  someones  grandchildren was the  single most  despicable  act in this  entire  mudslinging  campaign by the so-called  reformers.
 The vomit that came  out of the mouths of their  supporters and I do mean  VOMIT-was  reprehensible.   People  from the  Cristo camp like to call this the  Bile blog -  feel free !   We  Love it ! 
 There is more  opposition to your  tom-foolery  than you'll ever  know.
  We are proud of the  fact that  after  less than a  month in existence - this  blog  got  the  opposing point of  view out and  fired up  our  side of the  consituency to get out there and  vote  AGAINST  the  Reform party  platform, a  platform that would most  certaintly paralyze  the  Town again for another  year under the  "no tax increase" moniker  voiced by Cristo and his  "numbers lady" partner. - By the  way -  did anyone  ever   really  crunch the numbers  she  spews  anyway?   Taylor was  apparently terminated  from two  of her  "numbers"  jobs - does that mean she  too is incompetent?   Once again -  keep it  clean  - feel free to  let your  feelings be heard - ( they do )   and  write  away !
 -Transparency -  catch -phrase  uttered by reform party people -  the  true  definition lost in political rhetoric and  intentional misguidance by political hopefuls !
