East Greenbush ~ or Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey ?

Well, as was to be expected,  Deputy Supervisor Ed Gilbert and Board member  Matters respond  to a very well written article by  slathering the entire topic with mud and innuendo.

Like the clowns piling out of the clown car at the circus, Matters and Gilbert fall into lock-step and each continually cries for more time to allow Langley and his people to further pummel Town Finances  and  skirt the public at every turn.

HOW MUCH MORE TIME ?      

Ed Gilbert  stated  that we now have a  " highly competent comptroller"  ~  ARE YOU KIDDING ?

A  very simple Google search of  George Phillips and the  Town of Glenville  will put that assertion to bed  quickly.

Time is up for the  SWF  team and the continual games that they are playing.     The overspending that has occurred since January 2nd  alone is enough evidence that not one single Langley appointment is worthy of  employment.

Then we have the Casino debacle.    We really  don't need to say much more.   "Duck and Cover" is the new motto for the SWF  team of  political misfits.      November  2015  really  con't come fast enough.

BTW Mary Anne -  no one  is buying  into your plea for more time to allow you and Deb to further screw things up !

  1. I voted for Deb DeMartino and Cheryl Vallee last election., I guess I made a huge mistake voting for Deb - she's not what I expected.

    I still think she is a nice person but woefully inadequate as a Town Council person. I didn't vote for MaryAnn Matters because, after talking to her, I realized that she is the female version of Ed Gilbert...mean, nasty and condescending.

    I was right about MaryAnn and unfortunately, wrong about Deb.

  3. Charlie....you are so right about Mary Ann and Gilbert - 2 peas in a pod. I would like to see Ed Gilbert run against Phil Malone next year. I like the idea of Gilbert getting his a$$ kicked again. Never get enough of that!

  4. I just attended the Pre-Board Meeting ...

    There may be a Casino Presentation Monday Night at Columbia High ... Saratoga Gaming & Racing is attempting to schedule

    Wednesday's Town Board Mtg. may be moved to the Legion or Phillips Road Fire Station ... Casino engineer may present to Town Board and Planning Board for a possible future PDD.

    Keep your eyes and ears open and check the Town's web site for both.

      MAM does seem like a very bitter lady; full of hatred for most all of the DEMS, especially Rick McCabe. Does she think Langley is doing a better job? It would interesting to ask her who she would nominate and recommend for the next Supervisor; I'm sure it would be her husband. When their campaigning and come to your door and start knocking the previous Supervisor and Council People, you know right then and there NOT to vote for them. She is a piece of work. As far as Deb, she's a nice girl who will never say a word - just sits there and smiles and knods, looking up to the ceiling! Supe, well he's just there - he doesn't have a clue; he was lucky enough to win - and he's collecting a nice check for doing absolutely nothing except taking orders from the red faced monkey!! So lets vote them out in 15!

  8. read Dumba** Duhfruscions response to Don over on the Fly.......proves beyond a reasonable doubt that stupid Defruscio is the idiot mastermind behind all the foolishness since January 2nd. Chrissy is a juvenile delinquent that never grew up and it sure shows.
    He's immature and ignorant - a bad combination for someone like the Langster to be confiding in.
    Duhfruscios e-mail response to the Gadfly clearly exhibits how bad a shape we are all in with this Town Board Majority. They - ( Matters,Langley,Dimartoni,Gilberry) all listen to Duhfruscion like he's the experienced leader - HAH !
    We're all screwed until November of 2015. Keep your eye on this bunch.

  9. In case you were wondering what Ole Ercole wrote, here it is:

    " “Donny , Donny ,Donny , how do you expect any one person take you serious . You do not a thing to help. Do your self a favor keep me off your email list . Harassment is what I call this my next call won't be To your foolish friends . And if you wanted to help the town there is better ways , you lost my respect for you when I found out you tried to sue the tax payers , anybody who takes that path is as bad the EG Dems pass that on to you friend . (Ask what she received ,then ask what it cost the tax payers ) I have no respect for any one of you . You two hit an all time low .”

    Besides the grammatical errors, his thoughts are all over the map - hence the "juvenile delinquent" label. ADHD is probably also accurate!

    BTW: lets ask Chrissy what he got from the Town as a parting gift a few years back - then let him cast stones. Chris Defruscio is a thief - period!

    1. According to a reliable but unverified source DeF received a $10,000 settlement spread over two years. That's from being fired by McCabe and connected to the Van Wormer complaint.

      Some town...

    2. I thiink it was $50,000. As Gilderberry is fond of saying, we can FOIL it.

  10. @ 5:45 pm, and the person who wrote that is the very, very good friend of our Supervisor and his appointed Court Attendant. So much for the judicial system. Should a Court Attendant be commenting on an unlawful discrimination settlement paid by the Town? Will the Town's Board of Ethics be issuing an advisory opinion about his comments?

    1. Gilbert doesn't have the balls to admonish Ole Ercole !

    2. OCA really needs to be given the heads-up about having Ercole meddling in court business. He has no business being anywhere near legal dealings within the Town.

    3. * This was a response over on the Fly - but its exactly how many of us feel about Defruscio and his cohorts * Whoever wrote this - actually "gets it" !

      "I guess, when it comes to being dumb the best defense is a good offense.

      I assume The Republican Chairman is referring to Eileen Grant's age discrimination complaint that the town settled for some $65,000. Generally speaking organizations settle because they have it on advice of counsel that they will lose so settling becomes the better of bad choices.

      To blame Mrs. Grant for the sheer managerial ignorance of the supervisor in making the stupid, stupid remark that Langley made is the height of arrogance and, quite frankly, almost as bad as Chris DeFruscio's Martha letter in the previous campaign.

      It is tragic that the good people of East Greenbush are saddled with Langley, DeFruscio, Gilbert, Matters and DiMartino. And, before anyone gets their shorts in a knot I supported all of them and voted for them.

  14. Did Ed Gilbert actually open his mouth again ?!? What a fool !
    What little credibility he may have had left is certainly now gone.
    What an idiot !

  15. Dilbert is getting his monies worth. He got trounced in two elections and feels the need to "pay back" the residents of East Greenbush with his arrogant snippets. He's a useless,worthless non-entity that has no idea WTF he's doing.

  16. I have no strong feelings either way concerning the casino, however in my opinion as to relief for the tax payer, pie in the sky. If the casino is constructed in East Greenbush or Rensselaer county the increase in revenues to Municipalities and School Districts will be offset by increase in budgets, increase in patronage and to cover mismanagement that affected taxpayers past, present, and future. They will see this as a cash cow and institute worthless programs, increase staffing, and cover their backsides for incompetent decisions that cost big bucks. It will be the same type of management or should I say mismanagement, only magnified. When you find that your taxes did not decrease, their excuse will be that the increase in revenues prevented increase in taxes. They will simply eat it up. Don't mean to sound like chicken little, but proper management, and controlled spending is the way to govern, instead of throwing large amounts of money, thinking that will solve problems. This is only my humble opinion.

    1. Anonymous is exactly right. Government increases in direct proportion to the poorly managed resources available to fund it.

  18. Casino or no casino, this town , with Langley and Def. in charge is doomed.
    When illiterate mouthpieces such as Vecchio, MAM and Dilbert spouting their collective arrogant mouths, what more do people need to realize we're all screwed until 2015 ?
    Once again : Deb Dimartino - do you exist ? Do you have an opinion? Do you have a clue as to what your doing ? Deb ?

  19. The only thing on Deb's agenda is to try to get her son a town job....

  21. Bet you didn't know that AAA septic {that's Mr. Corellis's business) has private use to the transfer station on Mondays when its closed? And someone should check to see if he has a "business" permit as required by the Town. Special privaleges for him? Don't think so!

  24. Given ALL the recent controversy about the Casino or No Casino, and the push-back from the likes of MAM or Phil Vecchio and Ed Gilbert , isn't it about time we demand answers from LANGLEY as to exactly what his thoughts are, what his future plans are, what he plans to do with this Casino debacle. We are the TAXPAYERS in this Town, we PAY his salary! We demand answers - NOW !
    Note to Keith; hie your head in the sand much longer and you andyour friends will pay the price in November next year - GUARANTEED !
    Your making it real easy for just about anyone to walk away with the next election.

  25. 9:29 - Keith is already done! There's no saving him or ANY Republican for 2015. Once again , Defruscio has ruined something that he stuck his ignorant head into. Once a dirty rotten thief , ALWAYS a dirty rotten thief !

  26. Keith spent the entire day riding around with Ercole......what a waste of taxpayer dollars.....two little kids pretending to be men....

  27. I think that there are few people that would argue that Langley is a incompetent buffoon. Now Langley has proven himself a coward. What's the matter Langley, were you too afraid to face the residents at Columbia last night?

    Langley is such a little baby and MAM and DeMartino appear to be afraid to face the residents also.

    What have we gotten ourselves into in this town?

    Go ahead....I Like Langley...let's see your spin on the coward Langley!

  28. I HATE LANGLEYMay 20, 2014 8:25 AM

    MAM and Dimartino are both FRAUDS. They are nothing more than two pawns that Ercole got to run for Town Board under his phony SWF bullshit !

  29. Very DisgustedMay 20, 2014 8:31 AM

    People.....it's obvious that Langley is an idiot! The Republicans in this town are not. Langley is out as their candidate in 2015 and he isn't even smart enough to know it. MAM has been working behind the scenes to get the nod for supervisor and has a really good chance of getting it. What MAM doesn't realize is that most people in town are fed up with her arrogant and condescending nature.

    November 2015 can't come soon enough! We could be rid of Langley and MAM...YAY!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Can you believe this? I hear that Langley feels that he is extremely underpaid and wants a substantial raise!

    Well, as a voter, I disagree! If anything, he is extremely overpaid and deserving of a substantial cut in salary.

    What do residents feel? Should Langley get a raise or be given his walking papers in 2015?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Are you kidding??? Langley has been getting paid for doing absolutely nothing for the last 29 months???
