Cheryl is highly qualified by her character, temperament and experience to serve as a member of the Town Board. She will work closely with ALL OF the. members of the Board to achieve thoughtful consensus on the issues important to the people of East Greenbush.
Cheryl is an absolute delight to have a conversation with ! She is knowledgeable and concerned about Town affairs. She is clearly a very qualified candidate this November and worthy of support from both sides of the aisle !
Cheryl Vallee is a credit to her friends, her family and indeed to herself. She will be an outstanding member of the Town Board. I am very pleased to have the opportunity to vote for her on November 5th.
Dimartino nor Matters know what day of the week it is. They did not write any of the Advertiser articles, nor do they have any knowledge of business practices. They are being steered by Rich Crist and county republicans. Many people answer the knock at their door to be greeted by Rick Matters - and it is he who ends up answering most of the questions posed to Dimartino or Maryann. Some candidates - huh ?
I choose Valle and Bottillo because they make the most sense to lead this Town the next four years. They both possess the credentials that appeal to my family and we will proudly support their election campaign and vote happily for both of them !
Since you mentioned Mulvey. Maybe he and his leader, Chris DeFruscio can explain why they have refused to file the mandated financial disclosure forms with the NYS Board of Elections. Are they trying to hide something, or are they just plain incompetent? Or both?
There's no doubt that Defruscio and Mulvey have bankrupt the EG Republican party. Thats all they know how to do. If the voters give Defruscio the opportunity - he will do the same to the Towns funds. He has no management skills and is basically just a common thief trying to hide in politics because its his only chance at free money. Look at the people he keeps in his circle of friends. That says ALOT about ole Ercole
The Town's website says "The NY State Office of Real Property Tax Services awarded the Excellence In Equity Award to the Towns of East Greenbush, Sand Lake and the City of Troy at a meeting of the Rensselaer County Assessors’ Association." It was NYS and not the County or the Town.
Some others -
Phil expressed his opinion and followed his words with a vote, which is his prerogative as a Board Member. Although I don't feel that Brad deserved to be dressed down like he was.
- Doesn't Ms. McCarthy work for Brad now? - Didn't she take the retirement incentive a few years ago? - Haven't some folks been railing about keeping those folks on payroll?
Danged if ya do and danged if ya don't, I guess.
BTW, where's the outrage over the Deputy Supervisor making campaign speeches during the public comment section?
The Deputy Supervisor is a non-entity. Washed up and mostly laughed at by people at the meeting. The snickers coming from the people sitting near me were unmistakable !
I was there and I was embarrassed for Gilbert. I also decided during his little episode to avoid voting for the two candidates he and the Supervisor support. Before Gilbert got creepy about where people sleep, I was going to vote for one of them.
I just read the bio on Cheryl and Mike. How refreshing to have two qualified candidates. I just can't seem to find anything on Mrs. Matters nor Dimartino. I would like to compare qualifications. I also understand that the offer to publicly debate was made to the Republican candidates and refused. Why? Hiding something? Afraid to answer the tough questions? Too Bad for them. Clearly the qualified candidates in November are Cheryl Vallee and Mike Bottillo !
Chris Defruscio: authored criminal letter - Martha Santiego ballot fraud - still pending/lost ballots/lost challenge No financial accounting of election funds ran DPW into ground in ten months - never held accountable stole hundreds of gallons of taxpayer gasoline misuse of town vehicle on numerous occassions openly violated union contracts
So basically , Chris Defruscio= bad for EG Taxpayers !
Dear 2:13 PM: Would you have more information about the Chris DeFruscio ballot fraud issue(s)? I think this would prove to be of great interest to EG voters as they evaluate the candidates. Thank you.
It might be time to update Investigative Reporter, Brendan Lyons of the Times Union about Chris' current antics. After all, he was the one who wrote the articles about Chris and the Martha Andeigo fiasco during the 2011 election. I'm sure Brendan Lyons would be interested in looking at any information available regarding Chris and his current electoral "activities."
Don't forget, he's been sued by members of his own family and was almost hauled off to jail when he owed about $80k to NYS for sales tax. Also, he was taken in some years back by Albany PD for impersonating a court officer, but was released when an APD officer from EG. Stepped in for him and saved his a%# ! Real class act there!
Chris has made so many threats and taunts this election season. Its almost like he's trying to lure people into the fight. Why he says the stuff he does is beyond reasonable explanation. I read all the other posts about his immaturity and arrogance towards Town employees specifically. My question is WHY? His brother, his brother in-law and nephew , his cousins all work or worked for the Town. Why such total animosity towards people looking to make a living in EG ? Especially at the wages they are making- not one of them is getting rich off the Town. It has been said that EG pays some of the lowest municipal wages in the Capital District. So again - why does he target Town Employees and then complain because they don't back him nor his candidates ?! Go figure !
Am I reading correctly? In this week's Advertiser DiMartino & Matters say want:
zero based budgeting
- - KEITH did the Tentative Budget so their complaints are with him?
accurate revenue projections
- - KEITH did the Tentative Budget so their complaints are with him? Phil Malone saw right through his BS!!
an overhaul of the town's purchasing procedures
- - DONE on 9/18/13 by 140-2013 A Resolution to Adopt the Procurement Policy! Have they read it? For that matter, have they read what they "wrote" (good point, 5:07 PM)?
meaningful ethics legislation - - DONE on 10/16/13 by 153-2013 Resolution Adopting Local Law No. 3 of the Year 2013 Enacting a New Code of Ethics!! Read Jack Conway's post on Gadfly.
Ya can't make this stuff up folks!!
All DiMartino & Matters (both Rick and his wife) are doing is blowing smoke and feeding pablum to the people dumb enough to swallow!
Maybe that's why they refuse to debate Bottillo and Vallee!!! Don't want to be seen as the frauds they are.
The refusal for a public debate is all telling ! Dimartino is a fraud and Matters is nothing but a pawn for her husband and Langley. Ricks pissed because he got slammed by a judge and told he can't run. Sucks to be you Rick. You and Don should compare notes !
Deb and Maryann are figureheads in a much bigger game being played by Ercole and Rich Crist. Don and Dwight want to sound like they are all in the game with their posts and questions. What they should really be writing about is the corruption of the Republican party and plundering of political donations by E. Chris Defruscio! There's a a very valid reason why Mulvey nor Defruscio haven't filed the required financial disclosures. They squandered the money ~ AGAIN ! They don't want people to know...and will hold off filing or simply will not file. They have pissed all the money away~ again !
LETS BE VERY CLEARL HERE - MATTERS AND DIMARTINO WILL NOT DEBATE . THEY HAVE REFUSED OFFERS, DECLINED THE OPPORTUNITY.
MIKE AND CHERYL ARE READY WILLING AND ABLE. REPUBLICANS WILL NOT STEP UP TO THE TABLE. DEFRUSCIO AND CRIST WILL NOT LET THEM DEBATE- TOO EMBARASSING. IT WILL EXPOSE THEIR INADEQUACIES AND IGNORANCE.
VALLEE AND BOTTILLO FOR A BETTER EAST GREENBUSH - FREE FROM THE CRIMINALITY OF DEFRUSCIO !
Ha!!!! only if that were true.....neither Deb or Maryann were ever approached for any type of debate, so if you feel the need to write something stick to the truth & set aside ALL the LIES & BS
NO MORE DEFRUSCIO ! When is enough - enough ? He's a flaming criminal ! His family are criminals. Are we stupid enough or complacent enough to let this idiot into Town Government ? You people over there on the "fly" better wake the freak up. This isn't about Matters or Dimartino. It never has been. This criminal that is attempting to run the Republican party has extremely devious plans and they don't involve saving tax dollars or doing anything by the letter of the law. Read his handy work on EGDemands. Re-read the Martha letter - look @ the Attorney Generals report on his cousin- Randy Cherubino. It hasn't been a year since his nephew murdered Nikki Hart. What does it take people ?!?!?! Langley is a WILLING participant to the Defruscio plan of destruction ! WAKE UP EAST GREENBUSH ! Talk to a Town worker and refresh your memory as to how badly he screwed up the DPW garage for the ten months he was there. As them how much gasoline he stole, how badly he abused his position and squandered his budget- how much time he "disappeared" while running to used car auctions on TOWN TIME ! And mostly with the Town vehicle using Town gas ! Really...there's so much more. He has been running all over EGB slandering anyone and everyone and thinks its funny. Is this the type of person we want having a say in the day to day operations of our town? Really? I am disgusted by what I heard everyday from some other person about his childish antics and foolish behavior. Wake up East Greenbush !
The very weak Langley tells people that his foolish decisions were made because "Chris made him". They still found two people who wanted to run and "work with Supervisor Langley". You are very right... a vote for the Republican candidates for Town Board.is a vote for Chris DeFruscio. East Greenbush Candidates.
I've been saying for the past three months that somehow, someway, Ercole would pull some type of dumb stunt. It was and still is a guarantee that before election is over, we will clearly be able to attribute something stupid to him. He can't help himself. He really has no idea and thinks this is all some big game. It'll take County republicans to put a stop to his nonsense.
Still no required NYS Board of Elections Financial Disclosure Filing by Republican Chairman Chris DeFruscio and his Treasurer Sean Mulvey. What gives? Are these the type of people we want involved in our Town's Finances? If they can't follow the Election Law, how can we expect them to follow the Town Law?
They are complaining about having 2 Harts on the Board.....I would rather have the entire Board made up of Harts than have a DeFruscio on the Board. That's what will happen if Deb and MaryAnn get elected.....

She is a class act and very much deserves her chance at leading this town thru the next four years.
