  1. Nobody ever votes on the library budget. I guess nobody cares. Did you know that the Friends of the Library only remind the "friends of the library" to come and vote? They don't bother to tell the rest of us because they are afraid that we will vote against the budget. This year they want to raise the budget by 2.39%. That means a 4 dollar increase on a home assessed at 200,000. But just remember when you add in a 4 or 5% increase in town taxes and a 3 or 4% increase in school taxes -- well, it all adds up. Stop and think about it.
    Maybe we should get out their and take a second look.
    By the way -- the Friends of the Library raise money through the book sales and donations to provide programming to the East Greenbush community. Did you know that some of that money -- a substantial chunk -- was used to pay for library pensions? Interesting.

    In case any of you were wondering if Cristo still blogs - well here it is - anonymously of course!

    "Phil Malone has proven his utter incompetence in the recent TU article. He claims the County wants to ge their hands on the Town's money, but there is no money to access.

    Phil Malone and the entire board are all prepared to saddle tax payers with an addition 8 million dollars in debt to expand the existing plant, without exhausting every option to solve the current problem at hand.

    The town would not lose any money. The sewer fund makes a profit and is one of the only departments to do so. Rather than seek a solution with the County, Phil Malone and the dem majority would much rather raise taxes to pay for an expansion plan that we don't need.

    The democrats already have raided the sewer fund and owe it a million dollars. If they were to negotiate an agreement with the County, they can arrange to pay back what is owed, NOT raise taxes, and reduce the amount of sewage we treat to come into compliance with the consent order.

    Phil Malone is incapable of speaking intelligently about anything unless it benefits his party, his family or himself in which case his words still lack intellect, they are merely convenient propaganda to take advantage of a system in dire need to responsible leadership. A 5 - 0 vote would indicate that all of them are incapable of being responsible.

    Their consultants should be removed and DEC should dictate a more prudent course of action that protects the people of this town. Heaven knows, our own representatives lack that kind of courage!"

    Little know-it-all at his best - Big words and his favorite word - incompetence!! Cristo is so pissed that he couldn't get his hands on that EGB money and funnel it to the Rensselaer COunty Sewage Treatment plant. Mike says there's no money to access?? Well there is - ALOT of it too ! All the future hook-up fees that EGB will collect would have been sent at least partially to Rensselaer County and that is one of the main sticking points that screwed the entire deal up- and Cristo knows it - he's actually steaming. Cristo, Rich Crist and Martin Reid are all scrambling now and feeding the gadfliers all sorts of bullsh*t because their little faux presentation went down the shitt*r !! -( pun intended!)

    1. BTW: the Town would be effectively tossing away a minimum of 10 million initially, and probably more than that after construction and hooking up. Thats ALOT of wasted money being thrown at an aging facility that cannot possibly handle the increase in raw sewage without major upgrades. rensselaer County was banking on thee East Greenbush money. Too bad we saw the light.
      Screw Rensselaer County and their failed attempt at a cheap trick to get East Greenbush Tax money!
      Mike Cristo has never openly nor honestly represented the taxpayers of East Greenbush and this is just another glaring example of HIS incompetence and ignorance! Wonder how cristo is gonna explain this failure to Reid and Crist?!

    2. Nice job 555 - keep the gadflies guessing. They are perplexed and can't fathom that they don't have all the information. Ole Donnie boy thinks he is the end all - know-it-all on this subject. STBU Don!
      Obviously your little stool pidgeon Cristo didn't tell you everything !

    3. 555 - apparently your not smart enough to make your statement! Johnson nor Jenkins can find anything to dispute your remark , so they have labeled you a liar. Once again - Gadfliers stay true to their moniker - IDIOTS!

      Delete
  5. Its really quite simple, not nearly as complicated or locally political as Johnson,Jenkins and Mooney purport it to be. Here's the easiest way to explain the confusion.

    #1- clearly Dwight has obtained ALOT of information- without question. He interprets what he reads one way - BUT - without knowing the process or how politics effects EVERY SINGLE DECISION- he fails to comprehend the entire package.( not entirely his fault- he's been fed bad info from the start)
    #2- Johnson simply wants to bitch and complain about everything - PERIOD! He has a simple agenda which is to defame and defraud the East Greenbush Democratic Party. Don believes he knows how everything works - which is his shortcoming.
    #3- Mooney - plain and simple - carpetbagger. He has lived here about a minute and knows only what Johnson feeds him.

    There's no way the knowledge can be conveyed- you simply have to be there in the meetings and participate , be a part of the private phone calls from people like Rich Crist - specifically when he makes ridiculous demands upon the Town of East Greenbush.
    Dwight- you were correct- EGB was extremely close to doing the deal with Rensselaer County. Politics screwed it up without a doubt- only it wasn't your Town Board that did the screwing. THAT- my friend is the sticking point- Johnson wants to blame the entire scenario on Malone, Mangold and OBrien - NO WAY! The blame clearly falls directly onto Martin Reid, Mike Cristo, Rich Crist and a few other "interested parties" . Once County officials put the screws to East Greenbush- other options were openly and unabashedly explored- much to the chagrin of Cristo. Too bad Mike - you cut a backroom deal and it went sour because your intentions were NOT true .

    *** DON- yes you can cut and paste this and attempt to discredit me - your failing fault to a tee !!

  6. Dear 5:42 PM:

    I looked up "carpetbagger" on Wiki. In modern terminology the term applies to a person who runs for political office after only living in a community a short time.

    Modern examples would be Robert Kennedy and Hillary Clinton - both right here in New York.

    In your world how long do I have to live here before I am "allowed" to care about our town, participate in our government and ask questions of those people who are elected to represent us?

    Do you have a name so we can have an conversation?

    Thank you.

    1. 1st - obviously I have a name - but long before that- way too many people who support this blog were vilified by the likes of Mike Cristo whenever anyone opposed his opinion- therefore me and many others will remain anonymous- period!
      Cristo is/was a proven liar and has stretched facts and figures to suit his personal agenda - not unlike Johnson.
      2nd- as far as your example - I despise Hillary Clinton, I don't necessarily despise you - but your continual failure to grasp basic political concepts has obviously worn my patience, as well as Johnsons insistence that he's always correct.
      You can care all you want - you and yours failure to see the glass "half-full" rather than "half-empty" and insistence that everything is political and whenever the Town Board does something you don't agree with they are accused of stealing or some other dirty, underhanded trick- I'm kinda done giving any of you Gadflys credit for anything.

      Delete
    2. Would you please list the facts and figures which have been "stretched" by the persons you mention, and then present the facts and figures you believe to be true? Perhaps, then we could figure out what you are talking about. You make an accusation which has no content because it has no reference to anything real.

    3. Facts and figures are subjective opinions, such as anything that Cristo ever uttered. He couldn't prove any of what he ever said - specifically what he blabbed about on television- direct lies !

  10. Here's the lastest from another uninformed Gadflier:

    "The Talks blog is run by a bunch of political hacks placed in patronage position that are doing the heavy lifting for the party. Dave Van Wormer dies a good deal of their writing, Mike O'Brien, Ginny's husband, Pete Stenson, Carmela Hicks and on and on. They seldom if ever discuss anything of substance. They are bottom feeders who live to protect the benefits they receive from a town who can not afford to keep paying them. They will break the town in Time. They have sent the old guard, Maeny, Hart, Benko and Polsinello to suck up to Keith and blow smoke up his... well you get the point. They will use Keith, blame everything on him, promise him the world and leave him for dead. They don't want Malone in power so they feel taking advantage of Keith and promising him the world is a better path. If they spent the time on fixing problems that they spend attacking residents, they'd actually get somewhere. Ray, don't let up, you're right. Funny thing is, no one reads their blog but them and some of the people here."

    2. No - your actually correct. The gadflies can't determine anything if its not in their agenda of discredit and continual criticism of Board decision.

      Its got to be disheartening to them that they spent all this time foiling away , obtaining document after document, reading for hours on end, and then there very own people screwed it all up. They have virtually no choice but to try to blame the Town Board because they can't expose their insider information they get from Mike Cristo, Rich crist ,Martin Reid and others. They'll never admit that they were misled by those three- it doesn't bode well for the gadflies.

  15. Dwight: my sincerest apologies if I can't exactly make my point , but I'll do my damnedest to be clear.

    You are clearly entitled to your opinion, I disagree, but so goes the lives of cats and dogs in East Greenbush.
    I do not believe that Sean Mulvey nor Eileen Grant were conducive to good government in East Greenbush. Mulveys personality is ridiculously abrasive and arrogant and he has virtually no social skills at all. Regardless of his college degrees, he had no idea whatever what he was doing , and it showed. Mulvey was effectively stealing time from the tax[ayers, he as a full time employee working part-time at best. That is not spin, that is a fact. His obnoxious demeanor was offensive to anyone he ever spoke with. His political alliance to Rich Crist was clearly unquestionable and it showed.
    Eileen Grant- anyone at all who ran into her @ Town Hall found her to be intrusive and overbearing. Not a true representative of the Supervisor. She was told and directed more than once to leave "private" personnel meetings in the Supervisors office, meetings that she had no business what so ever being in. Her continual presence at Town Hall was detrimental to any type of business being conducted. Keith made the correct decision to send her on her way.
    As far as change - you keep trying , but know that me and many others will work directly against you and you can take that too the bank. I do not care for the opinion of Johnson nor Mooney. Johnson is/has been nothing but a interfering blowhard and Mooney does what he's told by Johnson.
    You keep plugging ahead, I'll keep working against you - democracy in action !

To quote someone above - Gadfliers see the glass as always Half-empty , never as half-full!

  18. I don't think the issue is whether you support the town board or not. They are neither always right as you guys would have it, or always wrong as the Gadflies assert. They are all decent people who care about our town and they are basically quarter-time employees who must look after way too many issues, especially given the magnitude of the problems we face. Dwight Jenkins, Don Johnson and Ray Mooney are not the enemy; neither are Sue Mangold, Ginny O'Brien and Phil Malone. The enemy is junk bond status and two million dollars of debt; the enemy is an aging infrastructure in an old town and an abandoned 9&20 corridor, and so on. We can spend all of our time blaming this one or that one for these problems but the fact is that we have all had a hand in it - democrats, republicans, conservatives, independents and the largely apathetic residents of East Greenbush. The question is how we move forward and I think we either find a way to move forward together or we won't move at all. If it took all of us to get into this predicament, it is going to take all of us to get out of it.

    The FOILs published by Dwight Jenkins are a good thing because they increase the information available to the public. With our fiscal problems we cannot afford to make a mistake on the waste water treatment issue. Ray Mooney is right to ask for a cost analysis of the options. Where I differ from the Gadflies on this is that I think the town board has done far more thinking about this subject than they are being given credit for, and it would be relatively easy for them to hold a public information session that would ease everyone's mind. Moreover, with the wealth of experience and intelligence in this town they might also get some new perspectives at such a session that will help them make the right decision.

    When a ship is taking on water you need all hands on deck, even if all you have are buckets to stem the tide. Right now all we are doing is splashing the water at each other and everyone's getting wet. This gets us nowhere.

    3. Jack, we have been asking for a public information session for a long time. There has been at least 4 years of work on the by-pass option. And as I stated at the last Board meeting, the 180 degree turn was done in secret and no cogent explanation has hit the public record yet. Doesn't make for credibility, does it. All we have heard is that bad behavior from County Republicans blew everything up. That, before the engineering cost report that Langley said was the purpose of the resolution at the last meeting. We are grownups and can read and write. We can also understand clear presentations. None have appeared yet.

      Delete
    4. Well Jack - here's the temper himself - as usual;

      Don Johnson writes:
      " One other point I'd make is that we ALL didn't create the problem which exists with the sewer issue. We ALL didn't ignore Orders on Consent. We ALL didn't do the inter-fund borrowing which created the debt and the junk bond condition. From all appearances these things happened without any public knowledge at all. I have yet to find a resolution done in public which authorized these things. These situations were created by persons who were not doing the jobs they were supposed to be doing as competent public officials. They should have done their jobs without being "babysat" by vigilant taxpayers. Jack is in his "forgive and forget" mode in which nobody is responsible for anything."

      Jack , your post was well thought out and not targeting any individual, but this response from the King know-it-all himself is the reason there will NEVER be meetings with well intentioned people who get together simply to address issues.
      Don would immediately find fault with anyone who disagrees with him and it would go downhill from there.
      My response is once again and always will be: Johnson - your actions speak directly to your Raul Castro persona - the Rev. Jim Jones aside. Your continual insistence that you know-it-all simply feeds the frenzy of people who genuinely despise your existence.

It was explained and re-explained. They refuse to listen. People tried to be nice and were met with Johnsons temper and indignant responses. He's the problem with EVERYTHING in East Greenbush - not the politicians- Johnson is the true problem.
      The Town Board works to attempt to resolve issues facing them- Johnson does nothing but complain and attempt to cause chaos when its counter productive- but hey - Dons always been a fool !

  19. Jack - I can guarantee you that the Town Board has done ALOT more thinking and debating on the waste water topic than they are being given credit for. The decision that they made was not done as a knee-jerk or spur of the moment. My continual disgust with the Gadlies is that they believe everything is political and that the dems do everything to a monetary advantage to themselves. That is preposterous and a ridiculous belief let alone to say it publicly.
    Many, many times, partisan agreements have been sought - to only be shot down or torn apart by factions with a private agenda. Animosity clearly overtakes common sense as of late. Too bad people are unable to listen without prejudice.

    They also forget that this Board is addressing the issues facing EG.

    They also forget that the lower initial cost alternative compared to a higher initial cost alternative is not always the best action in the long-run.

    they simply can't see that they are NOT entitled to knowledge of every step taken , nor are they deserving of explanations to every question they can think of in their thin attempts to quagmire progress that they don't agree with. grandstanding and soapbox preaching their message to the few that bother with them - i believe they've actually made more enemies with their foolish television interview and times useless articles, (like cristo when he lied on ynn) and they still don't get it.

  37. Gadfly( Don ,Ray) : you really do NOT have any idea of who,what,where,when or most importantly WHY with regards to this blog and its hosts. It was started way before you came on the scene by a very determined and select group of Town residents.
    Many steps have been taken to ensure that you will never know.

    Please stop trying to assign blame, you aren't even close and you never will be - GUARANTEED!

    1. Attorneys can handle Johnson. There are many who specialize in his type of harassment. He hasn't a leg to stand on if any of those affected pursue legal charges. Copies of all his e-mails are foil able and available.

  38. Part of me wants to explain to the simpletons on Gadfly , but I know that a very thorough explanation was already submitted which Don refuses to post. He since has complained and written something NOT TRUE! Go figure !smh

  39. One would think Benjamin Franklin had met the Gadflies when he wrote....

    Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do!

  40. Dwight sorta gave some mia culpa - but quite frankly ,its shallow at best.
    Don is a fool,he writes with no purpose to enhance or improve , he writes to embellish and accuse.

  46. "pusshead" ? We all thought he looked more like the cartoon character "Dilbert"....either way , he's a very obnoxious and arrogant person. I wonder how long it will be before all the soccer parents demand his resignation and replacement !
