Poorly written article in the Advertiser attempting to compare candidates and a feeble attempt to claim Public Service vs. Politics.
Once again, politics has reared its ugly head and as usual, Republicans sling some mud attempting to discredit their opponent, alah Cristo/Defruscio/Crist/MULVEY style. Too bad they chose that path.
Politics has very little to do with this election - excepting that each candidate must run underneath a political party. Why was the 1st paragraph so necessary? It was a fine support article without that paragraph. Most people would recognize it as nothing but simply a letter of support for a friend regardless of political affiliation. Unfortunately, candidate Mulvey has chosen the ugly, under-handed path. I would have much rather not read any article than one laden with political untruths and innuendo. Too bad Jude has allowed her nasty side to be unearthed.
Mary Pat is my choice...sweet woman...good family ties.
It's too bad Jude had to show that side of her. People have told me she was a lovely woman...obviously not. Probably turned some people against her all by herself.
Unless there's a change in Town Republican hierarchy there will never be any less b-s and mud slinging. Defruscio must go ! Nothing will ever change until the clowns are dismissed.
Don't think Defruscio even endorses Mulvey he has a Donnelly sign on his business. Let's not blame him this time. Can't believe a judge canidate would allow signs to be put all over without getting permission! The building department will busy tomorrow!
YES- its DWIGHT and his family bullying those poor people - confirmed ! Dwight - the purveyor of truth and justice is nothing but a big,nasty bully ! His wife and kids and sister in-law too ! What a farce he truly is! BTW: the poor folks he and his family are trying to scam land off of are well in their 70's.. big bad Dwight !! Can you say ; LOSER!!??!!
Come on its alright. Dwight will say a prayer for you,tell everybody how ethical and honest he is,lie about his life, defame anybody he can, write that drivel on his insulting blog. He can have that old couples land . He is Dwight. How dare anybody question the Sonnetman
How's this for irony.??**** "About “East Greenbush Prays” “Your only source for open, honest, smart-ass discussion of what matters most to you: your tax dollars, your local government, and the pressing ironies of the day. (Hopefully with God’s blessing…) And yes, we are the bastard offspring of our father in the blog community, http://eastgreenbushgadfly.blogspot.com/”
Clearly - YOU ARE a bastard ! That FACT is now without doubt ! Just like the idiot Johnson - your arrogance knows no boundaries !
Funny how a-holes like Johnson and Jenkins find each other....brought together by the KING of a-holes ~ Cristo ! Wonder if the carpetbagger will come to the rescue? He's apparently the only one left of their cadre of morons that hasn't made the news.
If you read the Times Union article, it says right in there, the people that Jenkins is trying to steal the land from have been paying the taxes on it for years, owned it prior to the Bergmann clan moving next door in 1971. Jenkins is now a "squatter" attempting a larceny from retired people. Looks real good on your military, ex-marine persona huh Dwight !? Your a worthless piece of garbage and should be thrown out of court like the self infatuated delusional moron you are.
I'd love to hear Dwight spin the story about the Bergmanns trying to take someone elses property. If you're not paying taxes on land, you don't own it. Can anyone imagine if the McCabes, Harts, O'Briens or Malones were doing this? Dwight would be all over them like flies on $hit.
Ray Mooney and Don Johnson would be making all kinds of accusations and demanding an investigation. But, alas, this is their buddy Dwight, so it's all OK.
Scumbag has a new definition in my dictionary - it's "see Jenkins, Bergmann family behavior"; enough said about that familys character and integrity.
Dwight, quote the Bible, show us a verse where stealing is ok.
Oh Gadfly....where are you to attempt to defend this one?? Carpetbagger ?? Nothing - ? Anyone ..?? And accordingly and justly, Dwight will be appropriately named "squatter" !
I thought Dwight Jenkins was a decent and honest man even though I often disagreed with his opinion on many issues. If Dwights' family (he's married to a Bergmann) and the Bergmann clan want that property - make a fair offer to buy it. If not successful buying it, oh well.... move on.
Apparently it's more fun to harass and intimidate your senior neighbors and try to take the land from them, hoping the rightful owners can't afford to fight off the Bergmann money. The Bergmanns' all share the property and are probably sharing the legal costs, while the rightful owners are fighting this on their own. I hope some of the people who know the rightful owners step up and do some fundraising for the Spallanes - I'll be glad to attend.
Dwight, I was obviously wrong about you and many others were right. You only care about doing the right thing when it suits you.
J.C. - I appreciate your sentiment about the behavior of the Gadflys if McCabes, Harts, Malones or O'Briens were trying to steal their neighbors property.
The Gadflys would be irate. Only problem for Dwight and Crew is the Harts' buy property they are interested in, they do not try to steal it. The Harts' come up with a use for the property and develop it, creating jobs and income for the town.
Dwight and family want additional property to play on. Dwight...not satisfied with what you have...get a job and buy more...don'ty try to take land away from someone who bought and paid for it.
Who was the T-U reporter that bought into the Johnson-Jenkins-Mooney story a couple weeks back over the sewer treatment plant?? Maybe that reporter needs to re-interview Dwight.
words spoken to County Legislator Cristo this morning as he and his wife attempted to vote in the WRONG district: "Mr. Cristo , you've signed in your fathers spot." Then , after a very typical Mike Cristo overload and bragging that he's Mike Cristo, he finally had to walk away after realizing he was in the WRONG voting district! What a total tool !!! And this moron wants to dictate how East Greenbush Government functions?? Total Idiot !! *** witnessed by many,many people....****
It is a pleasure to have voted for you ! Your extremely professional and beyond competent in your attention to details and duty. Best of luck these next four years.
I find it hard to believe that he didn't know what district he votes in. This must have happened at the Tabernacle on 3rd Ave, since that is where his father would vote. Is there some reason Jr. would think his polling place changed? I would be interested to know if his father ever voted the other night, or if maybe he is out of town. If that is the case, this is an obvious case of attempting voter fraud. Jr. thought nobody would notice or call him on the fact that he was attempting to vote in his fathers spot. This would be a clear attempt at voter fraud, by an elected official, which should be followed up on if true. Or, maybe he is just an idiot.
He clearly is an IDIOT! His father came in later that morning, they had to explain to him that Jr. signed in his spot. Jr. needs to be shown the door in his next election bid !
Lets all keep after this T-U guy about our dear friend Dwight the bully trying to steal these poor peoples land. His e-mail address is above and his phone number is listed as well.
T-U online has expanded its original story about Dwights family stealing these poor peoples land. Its worth the read....type in "Bergmann" in the search bar and it will bring you to the updated story line.
How many of you actually read the story? I did and the property doesn't even belong to Dwight but to his in-laws so there you go again. Also, shouldn't you be more interested in some rich guy getting his sewer line paid for by the Town? You guys have your priorities stuck sideways up a sewer pipe.
"And the extended family that owns that camp has filed a claim on a piece of the Spallanes' property. The family headed by Catherine M. Bergmann says the land should be theirs."
The ONLY reason this is part of Dwights radar is because he HATES everyone up on "his hill". Otherwise, he could care less. His obsession with thinking that Thompsons Hill is his piece of East Greenbush is well documented. His continuous objection to the FEDEX operation, his utter foolish complaints about the proposed development off Thompson Hill, all because he thinks no one should be near his family compound. Suggestion : MOVE AWAY !
You know our President got elected in part because people are tired of being lied to, ripped off, and being trampled by the haves and getting squeezed out of every drop (meaning taxed to death). Why don't you guys focus on what is going on in government rather than a dispute between 2 families which cannot possibly affect any of us in the Town? You are only interested in spewing vitriol and hate about a handful of individuals who you have already acknowledged have no power or influence over anything. Stick to public service announcements and positive news.
I would suggest you heed your own advice. Gadfly and Prays spew nothing positive and only look to spread vicious attacks against elected officials. I believe that would be called hypocrisy in many peoples book. The article regarding the Bergmann clan and Jenkins affiliation actually appeals to many East Greenbush taxpayers due to the constant onslaught of nasty, vicious articles written by Dwight over the past few years. If nothing, it proves Dwight is just as "human" as those he points a finger at daily !
*** BTW: the family being screwed by Dwight and his family happens to be very well known to many of us in East Greenbush....just an FYI for you gadflies...this isn't going away any time soon ! ***
Apparently no one is paying enough attention to poor Mooney. He has taken up dum Donalds ranting about how the Town Board doesn't work on behalf of him and his gaggle of jacka**es. Well carpetbagger, take the squatter and Don the temper and cry in a corner. Unfortunately for you, the Town Board IS taking care of Town affairs and just because you don't agree with the agenda or how its accomplished - TOO BAD ! Your quote below is so directly attributed to you three complainers
"I am reminded every time I attend a meeting, exchange an e-mail or listen to our Town Board of this quote originally made about Henry Kissenger, later referred to Steve Jobs and now, it seems, perfectly appropriate to our Town Board: “They lie because it is their very nature to lie.” Lets be perfectly clear - YOU THREE LIE AND TWIST FACTS AND STATEMENTS SO OFTEN BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. OTHERWISE NO ONE WOULD FALL FOR YOUR CONTINUOUS LINE OF BULLSH*T !
The final decision on that matter is readily available for download. I would recommend you read it prior to launching accusations and demands Gideon. You are clearly wrong on your baseless accusations according to the opinion given. Please state directly what numbered paragraphs you are referring to directly, otherwise we'll simply assume your political posturing is a feeble attempt to discredit someone you have a grudge against.
Maybe you read it but clearly you do not understand it. You apparently think you know more than five sitting magistrates and four presiding attorneys who make the decision after considering all of what was investigated. We think you are reaching. End of topic.
Arrogance combined with ignorance is the hallmark of the fruitflies. Stretching their worthless opinion and embellishing upon little tidbits of useless crap is all they ever have. No one ever said either DJ1 or DJ2 actually know anything of what they blab about - they operate under the assumption that no one will actually call them on their bullsh*t. When someone does, they get real nasty and crawl back under their rock for a bit. So predictable.
Thanks to TALKS for allowing us a venue to vent from the continual sewage coming from DJ! and DJ2.
Dear Squatter: DUH!!! Its not ready yet !? you cant have something that doesn't exist yet, FOIL until your heart stops- its not there- ! When it arrives , you'll get your copy as promised.
The response to the audit is pretty much what was expected from the geniuses . In reading there was really no surprises. There was no criminal activity, no fraudulent dealings. I'm sure the board will follow the recommendations to move forward. I am still curious of certain validities in light of certain citizens trying to effect the actual process. I would suspect the comptrollers office would be contacted.
According to the Squatter and the carpetbagger, McCabe is on his way to jail ! Unfortunately for them, as many of us thought, there is no startling revelations and NO ONE is getting arrested and going to jail. Too bad that Ole Donnie was wrong again, and even with his intentional interference, the results are non-criminal and once again , the Gadfly embellished on inconsequential facts and terrorized innocent people.
I get it - you don't like Rick McCabe, you don't like Toni Murphy, you don't like Linda Kennedy...who do you like and who do you think does a great job at these political jobs? Do you wake up in the morning hating yourself? Whine, Whine, Whine. No one pays to attention to you - but in all fairness your good at what you do; whine, bitch, complain and moan. Get a job, get a life, find someone who really gives a damn. You owe it to yourself and to your family if you have one. God Bless.
I'm not one of those people who sees conspiracies everywhere he looks but you cannot read that audit report and think everything is alright. If criminality is the only standard by which you evaluate how the town is doing that says a lot about what you will accept without question. This isn't a partisan issue and I have no interest in hurting anyone or settling scores but we need to do better. Rather than accuse people of misdeeds or speculate about what punishments are in order, we need to come up with an effective strategy to improve our town's finances. No member of the town board is an expert in municipal finance, nor should they be, but if we came together we could figure this out. It's not right to levy the high taxes we pay unless every penny we give to our town government is fully accounted for and well spent. The most troubling part of this audit is that we can't tell if the money has been well spent because it has not been properly accounted for. This is a fixable problem and it should be our highest priority to fix it.
Totally agree Jack , this IS a fixable problem. If the others would stop pointing the finger at a select few simply because they don't like them, there wouldn't be the awful divide and most importantly , bi-partisan cooperation would be possible. I cannot blame the current board from looking the other way in light of the unlawful interference perpetrated by the select few gadflys. The intentional and well documented meddling and antics by Don Johnson, Suzanne Airaido, Ann Taylor and Dwight Jenkins was not only un-necessary but border line unlawful. Until the likes of that group are placed under control, there will NEVER be cooperation - ever. Donnie likes to blame TALKS for everything that ever went wrong with mankind, yet he conveniently forgets that his foul mouth and temper were responsible for the starting of this very blog three years ago! In response , Cristo and crew needed the Times Useless, and at least four other blogs to ram their tainted message down peoples throat. Talks stands proud to offer people a chance to voice their opposition to the foolish banter of the Gadfliers and former reformers/tea totalers. Once again - Jack I believe your clearly correct. No felony level crimes were commited and contrary to the Mooney/Jenkins group, the results were nothing less than expected and most of us already knew of what was coming. The ground breaking revelations that Johnson so desperately tried to have occur simply are not there. Too bad Don - you blew your temper over nothing because your temper rules your very small little world !
Eddie G over on the TU blog is complaining about Tom Grant's (the elder) comments at the last Town Board meeting ... "In my opinion it’s beyond obvious he wants to run for one of the Board seats that becomes open this year."
News flash, Ed ... NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION.
How many months have folks endured your political rantings at Board meetings especially when questions could be raised during the public comment session?
ALL People, including Tom Grant and yourself, are free to comment within the guidelines established by the Board.
In Ed Gilbert's defense to the above NO ONE cares about the Grant's opinions. As someone always said opinions are like A..H.... - we all have one! People get up there to speak, tell the Supervisor what he's done wrong; and the reason for that is - sour grapes. Get over yourselves and find another job! Maybe someone will be tolerant of your BS-ing! Its all to make yourselves sound good at these board meeting. Get a Life, Get a Job.
At anon 8:50 normally I do not respond on this blog but in this instance I could not help myself. In response to your assertion that no one cares what I think allow me to paraphrase Hamlet in my reply: "me thinks thou doth protest too much" yeah you don't care what I think. Sure.
Happy thanksgiving to all. When your counting your blessings please add thank God I'm not a gag fly. That has to be the most depressing existence a person could have.
Eric Brooks - who ever you are....you hit the nail on the head. The Squatter, the Carpetbagger and the retiree that owes the Town money all think they got something here. Well, ya gotta ask yourself one simple question: even after the Times Union article, the Channel 13 feature @ 6pm , the constant bashing of all sitting Board members, ask yourself: who's listening to you?
Does anyone know why the clerk wasn't mentioned in the audit, didn't she get longevity and sick leave, maybe the gadflys liked her better, wasn't political was it? Maybe Dwight could answer that one seems he has all the answers.
Fruitflies biotch about what suits their agenda - and that is to embarrass and harass Town Board members and friends. They sit on the "outside" and yell and scream as if they were the only ones paying taxes in East Greenbush. Well, unfortunately , most all of us that despise the fruitflies all pay our taxes as well and quite frankly , Johnson,Jenkins and Mooney can go jump off a cliff or as Dwight suggests, maybe someone should steal their wallets !
And the hits just keep rolling in ! Dwight is now proposing that he and Johnson, Mooney and others are going to run the Town under some faux party name, and THEY will straighten out this Town. Just what we all need, Dwight the land thief, Johnson the legal fee evader and Mooney the carpet bagger. Yup , they will surely straighten out our Town and together , those three will surely lead us straight into fiscal ruins ! A land thief, carpet bagger and fee absconder....WOW !! Just what East Greenbush really needs !! Let me guess who your party chairman will be : Little Miss giggle~giggle, Boom-boom !! The queen carpetbagger/mooch herself ! You guys are too much !
HEY JUST READ ABOUT THE HOLIDAY LIGHT PROGRAM BE CAREFUL THE TOWN IS GOING TO AND WHERE YOUR LIGHTS HANG TO YOUR SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THE NEXT ASSESSMENT
While I normally don't have an opinion on Ed Gilbert , I do whole-heartedly agree with a recent post of his on his T-U blog. As follows:
"Note to Don Johnson; your assertion “Mr. Langley abandoned the people who elected him – selling his ‘birthright for a mess of pottage’” tells me two things: you have ready access to a book of quotes and you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about."
Hit the nail on the head with that quote Mr. Gilbert ! Johnson merely grinds his axe every single day because he's a nasty, miserable bastard who has a grudge against McCabe and anyone who ever shook McCabes hand. It all is fueled by Mike Cristo , who still thinks he's someone of relative importance in east Greenbush - HAH!
THEY ALL THINK THEY HAVE SOME RELAVANCE ON EG THE TOWN HAS BEEN HERE IN THE PAST AND WIIL BE HERE IN THE FUTURE THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AND ALL HAVE THERE OWN AGENDA
I think that this coming November 2013 the people can show Cristo how irrelevant he really is ! His shenanigans have truly done no good and empowered people who normally would be insitutionalized .
He deserves whatever ill-will befalls him ! He's earned it ! There is no bigger piece of refuse within this towns limits although Johnson comes in a close 2nd.
Gigi and Bobo still read and write every single day. Those two simply can't fathom that the little scam they attempted to perpetrate on voters backfired. They are fueled by people like Bonnie who just can't see the devious and mean side of Shakespeare and his girlfriend. But ,there's a bright side to all this ; apparently the boy wonder was told he'll have no support if he chooses to run for re-election to his County seat. Even the County Republicans have realized that he's a total scam artist.
He's such an idiot! He doesn't even know enough to tell his minions that if there's something wrong with the paper sent to them by the assessors office, to simply stop by and see Brad Canning. He resolved my issue-( which was nothing but a misprint) in about 30 seconds. No hassle at all.
And the "hits' just keep rolling ! Read the morons post today. He's obviously confused because he doesn't understand , and doesn't want to either, that the property owner @ 96 Thompson Hill is cooperating with whatever investigation is being conducted. Property owner is attempting to remedy the situation- so why all your ridiculous "antics and mischief" and carrying on?? Still holding that grudge huh? Note to Dwit: its consuming you and your unable to handle it.
Its not that they don't understand it - they fail to want to understand. Same goes for the Supervisor, they disliked McCabe; now they're following suit with Langley. They must just get their jollies by being so negative and hateful. People are that way for all of their lives. You know it as well as I do. Pray for these morons for they don't know what happiness and feeling good about yourself is all about!
Dwit, the land stealing twit, claims to be such a " spiritually enlightened " and gifted individual. He doesn't need our prayers. Ole Donnie boy really must get his jollies by being negative and nasty - because he hasn't changed his tune for the past 5-6 years. He has been the single most negative individual on any blog, here and elsewhere. I can't imagine going thru each day , living like that.
Ole Donnie boy is nothing but a nasty,mean,decrepit, old codger who owes the Town thousands of dollars. He tries so very hard to get any and all of us to forget that he is in debt to the Town. Note to Fruitfly #1: you want to talk about people paying back ANY monies- start by writing a check made out to the "Town of East Greenbush " for incurred legal fees defending your baseless and ridiculous lawsuit.
Dear Airhead (or is it one of the Mikey's?).....Put your attorney hat on AH, I don't owe ANY attorney/legal fees. Read the decision. The ball is in the Town Attorney's court, and as I have stated before on this blog, if he doesn't know what to do - I'm not going to tell him. (Hint....It's more like XEROX expenses.)
PS....I haven't stolen anything belonging to the Town or unlawfully misappropriated anything. This is not the case with regard to the stipends and the other "benefits" cited by the State Comptroller.
" that the public money that East Greenbush has expended in responding to plaintiffs' baseless litigation is chargeable to plaintiffs" That doesn't read or look like XEROX expenses Ole Donnie Boy ! Call me what you want - your a hypocrite !
The amount owed is comparable to the amount you think McCabe owes the Town. When you pay, maybe he'll pay. It was only a suggestion that the Town have an attorney look inot getting some of the money back. The Town was awarded costs to be paid BY YOU - a completely different horse- HYPOCRITE! Twist it anyway you want - your a farce and interfering fool laden with hatred that clearly effects your thinking.
The very fact that he owes it, that he knows he owes it and yet does nothing to settle, what exactly makes him any different than those he paints as thieves and villains in Town Hall? Answer: NOTHING. Basically, Don, your a complete HYPOCRIT !
Nah- Donnie doesn't have the awareness to shake in his boots. You actually have to have a clue to be aware, which he doesn't ! He'll continue on his path of deceit and lies and leave it all for someone else to deal with.
Ya gotta go to the T-U and read Ole Donnie trying to give it to Ed Gilbert! Its priceless reading and good for anyone who even remotely thinks Johnson is correct about anything! Its funny, I read the T-U each day, and its like getting that special present on Christmas day! Normally, I would not bother with Ed Gilbert , but its actually heart-warming to read him take Johnson to task and prove again that Johnson has NO IDEA what he's talking about !
5:17 must be a gadfly because they think only Town employees are "reaping the benefits". What a mis-informed and pitiful bunch they truly are ! Working for East Greenbush isn't getting anybody "rich" , and ALL Town employees have and will continue to pay their taxes . No one is getting a free ride ! Whistling : your right ! Its none of his damn business !
Half Of The Town Hall Employees Are Getting A Free Ride Go In And Try To Ask A Question And Get A Real Answer Ive Never Seen A Bunch Of People So Busy And Under Paid Just Ask Them
I asked a question about my water bill and got an immediate and very professional response. When Town Park needs something done Dave Van Wormer and his team are on it. The roads get swpet, the drains cleaned. I saw a DPW crew doing a nice job cleaning up trash on Michels Rd yesterday. By the way the trash was what we, the town folks, throw out as we drive.
I do wish the Sue Mangold's family would finish the project on Columbia Tpke. That old motel looks worse than any other spot on poor, old Columbia Tpke.
Town Park Have You Ever Left EG Our Park Is A Joke A Septic Lake A Dog Walking Fenced In Spot With Absolutely Nothing To Do Those Ball Fields Are Older That The Fields Of Dreams Oh Dont Forget Those Great Picnic Areas Come on Man
To The English Teacher Our Town Park Is A Joke It Is A Septic Tank To Swim In ,Oh Thats Right You You Cant Swim In It. There Is A Fenced In Area So You Can Walk Your Dog Cant Wait To Get One. The Ball Fields Speak For Themselves And Those Picnic Areas Cant Wait To Tell My Friends Thats Where We Are Having Our Next Get Together Better Get The Team Out There Maybe They Could Have A Game
Quote from "John" over on the T-U blog answering Dwit the Land thief:
"Dwight; News bulletin for you; Most of those things were done in the past by past administrations and have been remedied or are being worked on!!! Stipends – Done for 3 yrs Scrap – Done, money collected 2 yrs ago. Audit – Done Retirement incentives – Done Sewer- being worked on. Ethic Code – There is one in place and they are working on another. There is a new board now, and although you may not agree with them all the time, it’s their job to run the town. Let them do it.
Clearly put and detailed with no stretching of the facts!
Johnson , Jenkins, and Mooney would be wise to learn that #1 - they are pissing off more people every time they open their mouth. #2- no one really cares about anything except if Don is ever going to pay the Town the legal expenses he owes, or if Dwight is going to continue to steal those peoples land.
Other than that - Don is obviously obsessed with his thesaurus and the need to assert his worthless opinion on everyone.
Whistling must be retired from a town job. Did you get a stipend too? Just kidding. The point is -- if you think taxes are too high, why can't you complain about it? Especially if there is no justification for raising taxes?
I think that everyone that hates this town should just pack and move on.....get a life....get a job...what a sad, pathetic bunch of jackasses you are complaining about about everyone and everything. I feel sorry for you people and the fact that you have no joy in your life. I am sure you must be alone in the world - otherwise it would be an insult to your families that you would be so focused on things outside of your family.
Millie, why bother to even blog? Blogging is a backstabbing way of not signing your name and being a man, or woman? The Supervisor's door is always open; make an appointment to see him. You'll just continue to blog, disagree with the world and truthfully no one even cares what your thoughts are. Rick McCabe is a good man who gave that job his all; whether you liked personally doesn't matter; now almost a year later your doing the same to Keith Langley. Can you do better yourself, if so get the nod from a party in 3 years and run; its so simple. You've got nothing to lose; spineless is who you are. Get up off your butt and go down to the mission house and serve some soup. Thats too strenuous! Keep bitching cause these politicians are laughing at you morons.
I Dont Believe Anyone Hates Anything But Isnt It About Time Our 60 Million Dollar Buisness (Roughly the towns budget) Starts Running Like We Have To Run Our Homes And Bills With Our Incomes And Relize Times Are Tough And Probably Are Not Going To Get Any Better Any Time Soon. Times Have Changed But If We Want Our Town To Be As Good As It Was For Me Groing Up We Have To Cut Spending We Cant Keep On Asking For More From People Who In There Own Life Are Doing Without
To Spineless....also clueless.....whatever are you talking about? My comment is directed towards the Gadflies and I know several people who had no trouble figuring that out. I have always liked McCabe and I think Langley is trying to do his best for the town. I think the town is moving forward for the greater good of all. Try a little coffee next time - or at least re-read things until you can comprehend.
I find it sad and disturbing that the trio of Ray, Don & Dwight find it necessary to attack Ed Gilbert for expressing his feelings on what is being accomplished by the town board. Ray has gone so far as to ridicule Ed for losing 2 elections. Ed had the courage to run for those elected positions knowing he wa a big underdog, yet found it within himself to give it all all he had.
Ed, to his credit, has decided to be a positive influence and volunteer his time and energy to help the administration make decisions beneficial to all of us residents.
Ray, Don & Dwight - is it OK if Ed prefers to see the glass half full instead of half empty? Try giving credit for the positive changes going on instead of constantly bringing up the past.
If you guys are so unhappy, take a page out of Ed's book - find the courage and run for the board. See what the voters think.
Joe, I agree with your sentiments, however, no one really thinks that Ray would come out of the shadows and run for anything. Ray likes to have his cake & eat it too. It's easy to take potshots at elected officials and their supporters. It's not so easy putting yourself in the position of being criticized. We all know you can't make everyone happy all of the time. It seems with Ray, he is only happy when he's finding fault with others.
My pleasure to vote for Mary Pat. The blogs have been so quiet about this election, I was beginning to wonder.
ReplyDeletePoorly written article in the Advertiser attempting to compare candidates and a feeble attempt to claim Public Service vs. Politics.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, politics has reared its ugly head and as usual, Republicans sling some mud attempting to discredit their opponent, alah Cristo/Defruscio/Crist/MULVEY style. Too bad they chose that path.
Politics has very little to do with this election - excepting that each candidate must run underneath a political party.
Why was the 1st paragraph so necessary? It was a fine support article without that paragraph. Most people would recognize it as nothing but simply a letter of support for a friend regardless of political affiliation. Unfortunately, candidate Mulvey has chosen the ugly, under-handed path.
I would have much rather not read any article than one laden with political untruths and innuendo. Too bad Jude has allowed her nasty side to be unearthed.
Mary Pat is my choice...sweet woman...good family ties.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad Jude had to show that side of her. People have told me she was a lovely woman...obviously not. Probably turned some people against her all by herself.
Unless there's a change in Town Republican hierarchy there will never be any less b-s and mud slinging.
ReplyDeleteDefruscio must go ! Nothing will ever change until the clowns are dismissed.
I certainly don't endorse her, but I'll give Jude the benefit of the doubt.
ReplyDeleteLet's look at the more likely culprit ... Sean the Yawn.
Don't think Defruscio even endorses Mulvey he has a Donnelly sign on his business. Let's not blame him this time. Can't believe a judge canidate would allow signs to be put all over without getting permission! The building department will busy tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThe article in todays Times Union "Region" section regarding people named Bergmann....isn't that Dwights and Gilberts family ??
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteWhile we agree - clean it up a bit and we'll post.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that....here is a "cleaner" version:
ReplyDeleteYES- its DWIGHT and his family bullying those poor people - confirmed !
Dwight - the purveyor of truth and justice is nothing but a big,nasty bully ! His wife and kids and sister in-law too ! What a farce he truly is! BTW: the poor folks he and his family are trying to scam land off of are well in their 70's.. big bad Dwight !! Can you say ; LOSER!!??!!
Come on its alright. Dwight will say a prayer for you,tell everybody how ethical and honest he is,lie about his life, defame anybody he can, write that drivel on his insulting blog. He can have that old couples land . He is Dwight. How dare anybody question the Sonnetman

pretty much makes his turd blog worthless and inconsequential ....as if it wasn't already !
ReplyDeleteIf you read the Times Union article, it says right in there, the people that Jenkins is trying to steal the land from have been paying the taxes on it for years, owned it prior to the Bergmann clan moving next door in 1971.
DeleteJenkins is now a "squatter" attempting a larceny from retired people.
Looks real good on your military, ex-marine persona huh Dwight !?
Your a worthless piece of garbage and should be thrown out of court like the self infatuated delusional moron you are.
here's the article:

DISGUSTING!!!
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR !!!! Dwight is actually not the patron saint he wants everyone to believe he is ? Blasphemy !!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear Dwight spin the story about the Bergmanns trying to take someone elses property. If you're not paying taxes on land, you don't own it. Can anyone imagine if the McCabes, Harts, O'Briens or Malones were doing this?
ReplyDeleteDwight would be all over them like flies on $hit.
Ray Mooney and Don Johnson would be making all kinds of accusations and demanding an investigation. But, alas, this is their buddy Dwight, so it's all OK.
Scumbag has a new definition in my dictionary - it's "see Jenkins, Bergmann family behavior"; enough said about that familys character and integrity.
Dwight, quote the Bible, show us a verse where stealing is ok.
Oh Gadfly....where are you to attempt to defend this one?? Carpetbagger ?? Nothing - ? Anyone ..??
ReplyDeleteAnd accordingly and justly, Dwight will be appropriately named "squatter" !
I thought Dwight Jenkins was a decent and honest man even though I often disagreed with his opinion on many issues. If Dwights' family (he's married to a Bergmann) and the Bergmann clan want that property - make a fair offer to buy it. If not successful buying it, oh well.... move on.
ReplyDeleteApparently it's more fun to harass and intimidate your senior neighbors and try to take the land from them, hoping the rightful owners can't afford to fight off the Bergmann money. The Bergmanns' all share the property and are probably sharing the legal costs, while the rightful owners are fighting this on their own. I hope some of the people who know the rightful owners step up and do some fundraising for the Spallanes - I'll be glad to attend.
Dwight, I was obviously wrong about you and many others were right. You only care about doing the right thing when it suits you.
J.C. - I appreciate your sentiment about the behavior of the Gadflys if McCabes, Harts, Malones or O'Briens were trying to steal their neighbors property.
ReplyDeleteThe Gadflys would be irate. Only problem for Dwight and Crew is the Harts' buy property they are interested in, they do not try to steal it. The Harts' come up with a use for the property and develop it, creating jobs and income for the town.
Dwight and family want additional property to play on. Dwight...not satisfied with what you have...get a job and buy more...don'ty try to take land away from someone who bought and paid for it.
Dwight...church may forgive you....I won't.
I would suggest someone call Bill Lambdin @ 13 WNYT news and see what he thinks about his "whistleblower" now !
DeleteWho was the T-U reporter that bought into the Johnson-Jenkins-Mooney story a couple weeks back over the sewer treatment plant?? Maybe that reporter needs to re-interview Dwight.
ReplyDeleteOK - time for some "light-hearted" laughter....
ReplyDeletewords spoken to County Legislator Cristo this morning as he and his wife attempted to vote in the WRONG district: "Mr. Cristo , you've signed in your fathers spot."
Then , after a very typical Mike Cristo overload and bragging that he's Mike Cristo, he finally had to walk away after realizing he was in the WRONG voting district!
What a total tool !!! And this moron wants to dictate how East Greenbush Government functions?? Total Idiot !!
*** witnessed by many,many people....****
OMG !! Too Funny ! His poor wife, she must be so embarassed.
DeleteOh Cristo...sharp as ever!
ReplyDeleteMaryPat won 2982 --1765, not bad!!
ReplyDeleteThe actual confirmed totals were:
ReplyDeleteMary Pat Donnelly : 4759 votes 63% of the vote
Jude Mulvey : 2841 or 37% of the vote
as per official and final Rensselaer County results.
Congratulations, Mary Pat! Great lady, great campaign!!
ReplyDeleteWe are all very proud of you.
It is a pleasure to have voted for you ! Your extremely professional and beyond competent in your attention to details and duty. Best of luck these next four years.
ReplyDeleteOnce again the voters in East Greenbush have spoken and overwhelmingly made the correct choice !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - there was no doubt that you'd win.
ReplyDeleteIt was more than obvious. Good Luck in the next 4 years!
I find it hard to believe that he didn't know what district he votes in. This must have happened at the Tabernacle on 3rd Ave, since that is where his father would vote. Is there some reason Jr. would think his polling place changed? I would be interested to know if his father ever voted the other night, or if maybe he is out of town. If that is the case, this is an obvious case of attempting voter fraud. Jr. thought nobody would notice or call him on the fact that he was attempting to vote in his fathers spot. This would be a clear attempt at voter fraud, by an elected official, which should be followed up on if true. Or, maybe he is just an idiot.
ReplyDelete7600+ votes cast out of about 11,000+ registered voters. almost 69% turnout!
ReplyDeletegotta thank those folks in other states who stood in line for 4, 6, 10 hours to vote!
disgusting they had the long waits but very admirable that they persevered and voted.
He clearly is an IDIOT! His father came in later that morning, they had to explain to him that Jr. signed in his spot. Jr. needs to be shown the door in his next election bid !
ReplyDeleteR u kidding me? Jr. must sit on his brains!
DeleteIs he still with the lovely Mrs. Cristo? I thought she left and got HALF of everything.
Where's Gigi Boom Boom in all of this mess?
at least Mikey C tried to vote unlike DJ2 who wrote Not Voting and Proud of It! Ooh-rah Jarhead!
ReplyDeleteAdvocate@timesunion.com • 518-454-5700 • @chris_churchill..
ReplyDeleteLets all keep after this T-U guy about our dear friend Dwight the bully trying to steal these poor peoples land. His e-mail address is above and his phone number is listed as well.
T-U online has expanded its original story about Dwights family stealing these poor peoples land. Its worth the read....type in "Bergmann" in the search bar and it will bring you to the updated story line.
http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Uh-Bergmanns-It-s-not-your-land-4006303.php#photo-3686115
ReplyDeletePaste that link in your browser. Should take you directly to the story.
How many of you actually read the story? I did and the property doesn't even belong to Dwight but to his in-laws so there you go again. Also, shouldn't you be more interested in some rich guy getting his sewer line paid for by the Town? You guys have your priorities stuck sideways up a sewer pipe.
ReplyDeletebetter get your eyes checked
ReplyDelete"And the extended family that owns that camp has filed a claim on a piece of the Spallanes' property. The family headed by Catherine M. Bergmann says the land should be theirs."
I'm sure DJ2 is in it up to his neck
Ooh-rah
The ONLY reason this is part of Dwights radar is because he HATES everyone up on "his hill". Otherwise, he could care less.
ReplyDeleteHis obsession with thinking that Thompsons Hill is his piece of East Greenbush is well documented. His continuous objection to the FEDEX operation, his utter foolish complaints about the proposed development off Thompson Hill, all because he thinks no one should be near his family compound.
Suggestion : MOVE AWAY !
You know our President got elected in part because people are tired of being lied to, ripped off, and being trampled by the haves and getting squeezed out of every drop (meaning taxed to death). Why don't you guys focus on what is going on in government rather than a dispute between 2 families which cannot possibly affect any of us in the Town? You are only interested in spewing vitriol and hate about a handful of individuals who you have already acknowledged have no power or influence over anything. Stick to public service announcements and positive news.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest you heed your own advice.
ReplyDeleteGadfly and Prays spew nothing positive and only look to spread vicious attacks against elected officials. I believe that would be called hypocrisy in many peoples book.
The article regarding the Bergmann clan and Jenkins affiliation actually appeals to many East Greenbush taxpayers due to the constant onslaught of nasty, vicious articles written by Dwight over the past few years. If nothing, it proves Dwight is just as "human" as those he points a finger at daily !
*** BTW: the family being screwed by Dwight and his family happens to be very well known to many of us in East Greenbush....just an FYI for you gadflies...this isn't going away any time soon ! ***
The fruitflies would luv for this to all go away! NOT A CHANCE !! More to come- guaranteed !
ReplyDeleteApparently no one is paying enough attention to poor Mooney. He has taken up dum Donalds ranting about how the Town Board doesn't work on behalf of him and his gaggle of jacka**es. Well carpetbagger, take the squatter and Don the temper and cry in a corner. Unfortunately for you, the Town Board IS taking care of Town affairs and just because you don't agree with the agenda or how its accomplished - TOO BAD ! Your quote below is so directly attributed to you three complainers
ReplyDelete"I am reminded every time I attend a meeting, exchange an e-mail or listen to our Town Board of this quote originally made about Henry Kissenger, later referred to Steve Jobs and now, it seems, perfectly appropriate to our Town Board: “They lie because it is their very nature to lie.”
Lets be perfectly clear - YOU THREE LIE AND TWIST FACTS AND STATEMENTS SO OFTEN BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. OTHERWISE NO ONE WOULD FALL FOR YOUR CONTINUOUS LINE OF BULLSH*T !
Point of clarification :
ReplyDeleteThe final decision on that matter is readily available for download. I would recommend you read it prior to launching accusations and demands Gideon.
You are clearly wrong on your baseless accusations according to the opinion given. Please state directly what numbered paragraphs you are referring to directly, otherwise we'll simply assume your political posturing is a feeble attempt to discredit someone you have a grudge against.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteProof that you read the decision is necessary , otherwise no further comments on a subject that has been made and decided months ago.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you read it but clearly you do not understand it. You apparently think you know more than five sitting magistrates and four presiding attorneys who make the decision after considering all of what was investigated.
ReplyDeleteWe think you are reaching. End of topic.
Poor DJ2 complains about ethics when he doesn't know the difference between and employee and a consultant.
ReplyDeleteBet the Spallanes would have a few words to say about his ethics.
Arrogance combined with ignorance is the hallmark of the fruitflies. Stretching their worthless opinion and embellishing upon little tidbits of useless crap is all they ever have. No one ever said either DJ1 or DJ2 actually know anything of what they blab about - they operate under the assumption that no one will actually call them on their bullsh*t. When someone does, they get real nasty and crawl back under their rock for a bit. So predictable.
ReplyDeleteThanks to TALKS for allowing us a venue to vent from the continual sewage coming from DJ! and DJ2.
Dear Squatter: DUH!!! Its not ready yet !? you cant have something that doesn't exist yet, FOIL until your heart stops- its not there- !
ReplyDeleteWhen it arrives , you'll get your copy as promised.

ReplyDeleteHudson River sewage spill plan criticized - EPA consultant says proposal by localities just isn't strong enough
http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Hudson-River-sewage-spill-plan-criticized-4042146.php
looks like our town board is doing the right thing!
Good going!
The response to the audit is pretty much what was expected from the geniuses . In reading there was really no surprises. There was no criminal activity, no fraudulent dealings. I'm sure the board will follow the recommendations to move forward. I am still curious of certain validities in light of certain citizens trying to effect the actual process. I would suspect the comptrollers office would be contacted.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Squatter and the carpetbagger, McCabe is on his way to jail ! Unfortunately for them, as many of us thought, there is no startling revelations and NO ONE is getting arrested and going to jail. Too bad that Ole Donnie was wrong again, and even with his intentional interference, the results are non-criminal and once again , the Gadfly embellished on inconsequential facts and terrorized innocent people.
ReplyDeleteI get it - you don't like Rick McCabe, you don't like Toni Murphy, you don't like Linda Kennedy...who do you like and who do you think does a great job at these political jobs? Do you wake up in the morning hating yourself? Whine, Whine, Whine. No one pays to attention to you - but in all fairness your good at what you do; whine, bitch, complain and moan. Get a job, get a life, find someone who really gives a damn. You owe it to yourself and to your family if you have one. God Bless.
DeleteI'm not one of those people who sees conspiracies everywhere he looks but you cannot read that audit report and think everything is alright. If criminality is the only standard by which you evaluate how the town is doing that says a lot about what you will accept without question. This isn't a partisan issue and I have no interest in hurting anyone or settling scores but we need to do better. Rather than accuse people of misdeeds or speculate about what punishments are in order, we need to come up with an effective strategy to improve our town's finances. No member of the town board is an expert in municipal finance, nor should they be, but if we came together we could figure this out. It's not right to levy the high taxes we pay unless every penny we give to our town government is fully accounted for and well spent. The most troubling part of this audit is that we can't tell if the money has been well spent because it has not been properly accounted for. This is a fixable problem and it should be our highest priority to fix it.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Jack , this IS a fixable problem. If the others would stop pointing the finger at a select few simply because they don't like them, there wouldn't be the awful divide and most importantly , bi-partisan cooperation would be possible.
DeleteI cannot blame the current board from looking the other way in light of the unlawful interference perpetrated by the select few gadflys.
The intentional and well documented meddling and antics by Don Johnson, Suzanne Airaido, Ann Taylor and Dwight Jenkins was not only un-necessary but border line unlawful. Until the likes of that group are placed under control, there will NEVER be cooperation - ever. Donnie likes to blame TALKS for everything that ever went wrong with mankind, yet he conveniently forgets that his foul mouth and temper were responsible for the starting of this very blog three years ago!
In response , Cristo and crew needed the Times Useless, and at least four other blogs to ram their tainted message down peoples throat. Talks stands proud to offer people a chance to voice their opposition to the foolish banter of the Gadfliers and former reformers/tea totalers.
Once again - Jack I believe your clearly correct. No felony level crimes were commited and contrary to the Mooney/Jenkins group, the results were nothing less than expected and most of us already knew of what was coming. The ground breaking revelations that Johnson so desperately tried to have occur simply are not there. Too bad Don - you blew your temper over nothing because your temper rules your very small little world !
Eddie G over on the TU blog is complaining about Tom Grant's (the elder) comments at the last Town Board meeting ... "In my opinion it’s beyond obvious he wants to run for one of the Board seats that becomes open this year."
ReplyDeleteNews flash, Ed ... NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION.
How many months have folks endured your political rantings at Board meetings especially when questions could be raised during the public comment session?
ALL People, including Tom Grant and yourself, are free to comment within the guidelines established by the Board.
In Ed Gilbert's defense to the above NO ONE cares about the Grant's opinions. As someone always said opinions are like A..H.... - we all have one! People get up there to speak, tell the Supervisor what he's done wrong; and the reason for that is - sour grapes. Get over yourselves and find another job! Maybe someone will be tolerant of your BS-ing! Its all to make yourselves sound good at these board meeting. Get a Life, Get a Job.
DeleteAt anon 8:50 normally I do not respond on this blog but in this instance I could not help myself. In response to your assertion that no one cares what I think allow me to paraphrase Hamlet in my reply: "me thinks thou doth protest too much" yeah you don't care what I think. Sure.

ReplyDeleteEric Brooks - who ever you are....you hit the nail on the head. The Squatter, the Carpetbagger and the retiree that owes the Town money all think they got something here. Well, ya gotta ask yourself one simple question: even after the Times Union article, the Channel 13 feature @ 6pm , the constant bashing of all sitting Board members, ask yourself: who's listening to you?
ReplyDeleteAnswer; NO ONE !
I thought Eric Brooks was referring to Tom Grant (the elder).
ReplyDeleteNo it was for our favorite squatter
ReplyDeleteOh, I guess they all sound alike.
DeleteDoes anyone know why the clerk wasn't mentioned in the audit, didn't she get longevity and sick leave, maybe the gadflys liked her better, wasn't political was it? Maybe Dwight could answer that one seems he has all the answers.
ReplyDeleteIts actually comedy relief to read the
ReplyDelete"mischief and antics" of the three stooges. Thanks for the free medicine, fruitflies !
Fruitflies biotch about what suits their agenda - and that is to embarrass and harass Town Board members and friends. They sit on the "outside" and yell and scream as if they were the only ones paying taxes in East Greenbush.
ReplyDeleteWell, unfortunately , most all of us that despise the fruitflies all pay our taxes as well and quite frankly , Johnson,Jenkins and Mooney can go jump off a cliff or as Dwight suggests, maybe someone should steal their wallets !
And the hits just keep rolling in ! Dwight is now proposing that he and Johnson, Mooney and others are going to run the Town under some faux party name, and THEY will straighten out this Town.
ReplyDeleteJust what we all need, Dwight the land thief, Johnson the legal fee evader and Mooney the carpet bagger. Yup , they will surely straighten out our Town and together , those three will surely lead us straight into fiscal ruins ! A land thief, carpet bagger and fee absconder....WOW !! Just what East Greenbush really needs !! Let me guess who your party chairman will be : Little Miss giggle~giggle, Boom-boom !! The queen carpetbagger/mooch herself ! You guys are too much !
Third Party ?? I thought that was the obviously now defunct "reformers" were?
ReplyDeletewhat about the tea party?
ReplyDeletedidja see Mary Ann blasts the voters on ‘prays’?
“We are a town of 17,000 people but only a very small percentage of residents vote.”
My dear Mary Ann, the 17,000 includes those too young to vote!
Anonymous November 08, 2012 9:59 AM wrote “7600+ votes cast out of about 11,000+ registered voters. almost 69% turnout!”
It would be like a class reunion from the mountains of West Virginia
ReplyDeleteIt must be nice to be unemployable . It gives you plenty of spare time to defame people that Dwight is quite a guy.
ReplyDeleteI think you would be pretty surprised if you examined Mr Jenkens military record. Not what he likes to sell
ReplyDeleteWho is anonymous and where did they get their information? There is a lot of stuff posted on this blog with no back up.
ReplyDeleteThere was/is ALOT of stuff posted on the other blogs with no back up.
ReplyDeleteanonymous is of unknown authorship or origin
ReplyDeleteIVE GOT TO SAY SOMETHING AS A FIRST TIME READER TO THIS BLOG CALL ME MR CAPITOL I REALLY THINK CRISTOS BLOG WAS MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING
ReplyDeleteOf course it was - it was ALL fiction !
DeleteHEY JUST READ ABOUT THE HOLIDAY LIGHT PROGRAM BE CAREFUL THE TOWN IS GOING TO AND WHERE YOUR LIGHTS HANG TO YOUR SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THE NEXT ASSESSMENT
ReplyDeleteWhile I normally don't have an opinion on Ed Gilbert , I do whole-heartedly agree with a recent post of his on his T-U blog. As follows:
ReplyDelete"Note to Don Johnson; your assertion “Mr. Langley abandoned the people who elected him – selling his ‘birthright for a mess of pottage’” tells me two things: you have ready access to a book of quotes and you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about."
Hit the nail on the head with that quote Mr. Gilbert ! Johnson merely grinds his axe every single day because he's a nasty, miserable bastard who has a grudge against McCabe and anyone who ever shook McCabes hand. It all is fueled by Mike Cristo , who still thinks he's someone of relative importance in east Greenbush - HAH!
THEY ALL THINK THEY HAVE SOME RELAVANCE ON EG THE TOWN HAS BEEN HERE IN THE PAST AND WIIL BE HERE IN THE FUTURE THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AND ALL HAVE THERE OWN AGENDA
DeleteI think that this coming November 2013 the people can show Cristo how irrelevant he really is !
DeleteHis shenanigans have truly done no good and empowered people who normally would be insitutionalized .
I thought he moved south
DeleteHe deserves whatever ill-will befalls him ! He's earned it ! There is no bigger piece of refuse within this towns limits although Johnson comes in a close 2nd.
DeleteRead Prays, looks like guess again is Mikey C,it really makes no difference since all the wackos all have interchangeable parts.
ReplyDeleteGigi and Bobo still read and write every single day. Those two simply can't fathom that the little scam they attempted to perpetrate on voters backfired. They are fueled by people like Bonnie who just can't see the devious and mean side of Shakespeare and his girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteBut ,there's a bright side to all this ; apparently the boy wonder was told he'll have no support if he chooses to run for re-election to his County seat.
Even the County Republicans have realized that he's a total scam artist.
This land is your land but it's really Dwight's land All the way from route four out to the Burden Lake shore. Everybody sing
ReplyDeleteHe's such an idiot! He doesn't even know enough to tell his minions that if there's something wrong with the paper sent to them by the assessors office, to simply stop by and see Brad Canning. He resolved my issue-( which was nothing but a misprint) in about 30 seconds. No hassle at all.
ReplyDeletewhatever dwit the twit has must be ketchin'
ReplyDeletenot an effin one of them knows what there talkin about
And the "hits' just keep rolling ! Read the morons post today. He's obviously confused because he doesn't understand , and doesn't want to either, that the property owner @ 96 Thompson Hill is cooperating with whatever investigation is being conducted. Property owner is attempting to remedy the situation- so why all your ridiculous "antics and mischief" and carrying on?? Still holding that grudge huh?
ReplyDeleteNote to Dwit: its consuming you and your unable to handle it.

ReplyDeleteIts not that they don't understand it - they fail to want to understand.
ReplyDeleteSame goes for the Supervisor, they disliked McCabe; now they're following suit with Langley.
They must just get their jollies by being so negative and hateful. People are that way for all of their lives. You know it as well as I do.
Pray for these morons for they don't know what happiness and feeling good about yourself is all about!
Dwit, the land stealing twit, claims to be such a " spiritually enlightened " and gifted individual. He doesn't need our prayers.
ReplyDeleteOle Donnie boy really must get his jollies by being negative and nasty - because he hasn't changed his tune for the past 5-6 years. He has been the single most negative individual on any blog, here and elsewhere. I can't imagine going thru each day , living like that.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteOle Donnie boy is nothing but a nasty,mean,decrepit, old codger who owes the Town thousands of dollars. He tries so very hard to get any and all of us to forget that he is in debt to the Town.
ReplyDeleteNote to Fruitfly #1: you want to talk about people paying back ANY monies- start by writing a check made out to the "Town of East Greenbush " for incurred legal fees defending your baseless and ridiculous lawsuit.
Dear Airhead (or is it one of the Mikey's?).....Put your attorney hat on AH, I don't owe ANY attorney/legal fees. Read the decision. The ball is in the Town Attorney's court, and as I have stated before on this blog, if he doesn't know what to do - I'm not going to tell him. (Hint....It's more like XEROX expenses.)
DeletePS....I haven't stolen anything belonging to the Town or unlawfully misappropriated anything. This is not the case with regard to the stipends and the other "benefits" cited by the State Comptroller.
I rest my case ! btw: I'm not one of the "Mikey's" either. Keep guessing and keep throwing mud hoping we will forget ....we clearly will NOT!
Delete" that the public money that East Greenbush has expended in responding to plaintiffs' baseless litigation is chargeable to plaintiffs"
DeleteThat doesn't read or look like XEROX expenses Ole Donnie Boy !
Call me what you want - your a hypocrite !
But it wasn't in the Order, was it? You're just a gaggle of anonymous sociopaths.
DeleteThe amount owed is comparable to the amount you think McCabe owes the Town. When you pay, maybe he'll pay. It was only a suggestion that the Town have an attorney look inot getting some of the money back. The Town was awarded costs to be paid BY YOU - a completely different horse- HYPOCRITE!
DeleteTwist it anyway you want - your a farce and interfering fool laden with hatred that clearly effects your thinking.
btw:
Delete"baseless litigation" is like music to my ears. Your an jackwagon Don and it shows.!
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteThe very fact that he owes it, that he knows he owes it and yet does nothing to settle, what exactly makes him any different than those he paints as thieves and villains in Town Hall? Answer: NOTHING.
ReplyDeleteBasically, Don, your a complete HYPOCRIT !
Unfortunately the audit was compromised by Johnson's interference, that will be the next litigation.

ReplyDeleteNah- Donnie doesn't have the awareness to shake in his boots. You actually have to have a clue to be aware, which he doesn't !
DeleteHe'll continue on his path of deceit and lies and leave it all for someone else to deal with.
Don thinks he's the only one in East Greenbush that pays his taxes. He thinks he's entitled to accuse and question everyone he disagrees with.
DeleteYa gotta go to the T-U and read Ole Donnie trying to give it to Ed Gilbert!
ReplyDeleteIts priceless reading and good for anyone who even remotely thinks Johnson is correct about anything!
Its funny, I read the T-U each day, and its like getting that special present on Christmas day!
Normally, I would not bother with Ed Gilbert , but its actually heart-warming to read him take Johnson to task and prove again that Johnson has NO IDEA what he's talking about !

ReplyDeleteI am fully retired . not that its any of your business.
Delete5:17 must be a gadfly because they think only Town employees are "reaping the benefits". What a mis-informed and pitiful bunch they truly are !
DeleteWorking for East Greenbush isn't getting anybody "rich" , and ALL Town employees have and will continue to pay their taxes . No one is getting a free ride !
Whistling : your right ! Its none of his damn business !
Half Of The Town Hall Employees Are Getting A Free Ride Go In And Try To Ask A Question And Get A Real Answer Ive Never Seen A Bunch Of People So Busy And Under Paid Just Ask Them
DeleteI asked a question about my water bill and got an immediate and very professional response. When Town Park needs something done Dave Van Wormer and his team are on it. The roads get swpet, the drains cleaned. I saw a DPW crew doing a nice job cleaning up trash on Michels Rd yesterday. By the way the trash was what we, the town folks, throw out as we drive.
DeleteI do wish the Sue Mangold's family would finish the project on Columbia Tpke. That old motel looks worse than any other spot on poor, old Columbia Tpke.

Quote from "John" over on the T-U blog answering Dwit the Land thief:
ReplyDelete"Dwight;
News bulletin for you; Most of those things were done in the past by past administrations and have been remedied or are being worked on!!!
Stipends – Done for 3 yrs
Scrap – Done, money collected 2 yrs ago.
Audit – Done
Retirement incentives – Done
Sewer- being worked on.
Ethic Code – There is one in place and they are working on another.
There is a new board now, and although you may not agree with them all the time, it’s their job to run the town. Let them do it.
Clearly put and detailed with no stretching of the facts!
Johnson , Jenkins, and Mooney would be wise to learn that #1 - they are pissing off more people every time they open their mouth.
#2- no one really cares about anything except if Don is ever going to pay the Town the legal expenses he owes, or if Dwight is going to continue to steal those peoples land.
Other than that - Don is obviously obsessed with his thesaurus and the need to assert his worthless opinion on everyone.
Whistling must be retired from a town job. Did you get a stipend too? Just kidding. The point is -- if you think taxes are too high, why can't you complain about it? Especially if there is no justification for raising taxes?
ReplyDeleteNow the idiots are claiming the reval of 2005 was a set up, so everyone could steal money. I hear the Four Winds blowin.
ReplyDeleteThey HAVE to bitch and complain about something - every day to justify their miserable existence
DeleteI think that everyone that hates this town should just pack and move on.....get a life....get a job...what a sad, pathetic bunch of jackasses you are complaining about about everyone and everything. I feel sorry for you people and the fact that you have no joy in your life. I am sure you must be alone in the world - otherwise it would be an insult to your families that you would be so focused on things outside of your family.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
Millie, why bother to even blog? Blogging is a backstabbing way of not signing your name and being a man, or woman? The Supervisor's door is always open; make an appointment to see him. You'll just continue to blog, disagree with the world and truthfully no one even cares what your thoughts are. Rick McCabe is a good man who gave that job his all; whether you liked personally doesn't matter; now almost a year later your doing the same to Keith Langley. Can you do better yourself, if so get the nod from a party in 3 years and run; its so simple. You've got nothing to lose; spineless is who you are. Get up off your butt and go down to the mission house and serve some soup. Thats too strenuous! Keep bitching cause these politicians are laughing at you morons.
DeleteI Dont Believe Anyone Hates Anything But Isnt It About Time Our 60 Million Dollar Buisness (Roughly the towns budget) Starts Running Like We Have To Run Our Homes And Bills With Our Incomes And Relize Times Are Tough And Probably Are Not Going To Get Any Better Any Time Soon. Times Have Changed But If We Want Our Town To Be As Good As It Was For Me Groing Up We Have To Cut Spending We Cant Keep On Asking For More From People Who In There Own Life Are Doing Without
DeleteTo Spineless....also clueless.....whatever are you talking about? My comment is directed towards the Gadflies and I know several people who had no trouble figuring that out. I have always liked McCabe and I think Langley is trying to do his best for the town. I think the town is moving forward for the greater good of all. Try a little coffee next time - or at least re-read things until you can comprehend.
DeleteWhere Did Millie Say Anthing About Rick mcCabe
ReplyDeletecheck your facts - 60 million is pretty rough - town budget is more like $16 million w/out the ambulance and $17 million with it.
ReplyDeleteYea Im Thinking Of The Beasts Budget EGCSD Which Actually Is More Than 60
ReplyDeleteAnd I Really Hate Bad Info So I Guess Im An Idiot
I find it sad and disturbing that the trio of Ray, Don & Dwight find it necessary to attack Ed Gilbert for expressing his feelings on what is being accomplished by the town board. Ray has gone so far as to ridicule Ed for losing 2 elections. Ed had the courage to run for those elected positions knowing he wa a big underdog, yet found it within himself to give it all all he had.
ReplyDeleteEd, to his credit, has decided to be a positive influence and volunteer his time and energy to help the administration make decisions beneficial to all of us residents.
Ray, Don & Dwight - is it OK if Ed prefers to see the glass half full instead of half empty? Try giving credit for the positive changes going on instead of constantly bringing up the past.
If you guys are so unhappy, take a page out of Ed's book - find the courage and run for the board. See what the voters think.
Joe, I agree with your sentiments, however, no one really thinks that Ray would come out of the shadows and run for anything. Ray likes to have his cake & eat it too. It's easy to take potshots at elected officials and their supporters. It's not so easy putting yourself in the position of being criticized. We all know you can't make everyone happy all of the time. It seems with Ray, he is only happy when he's finding fault with others.
