Court Attendant or Court Jester ?

Once again, Town republican Chairman, Chris Defruscio, has thrust himself  into the forefront  in a very unflattering way.
His performance this past Wednesday at the monthly Town Board meeting was deplorable and extremely childish.    His unwarranted verbal tirade directed at Town Board member Maryann Matters was text book and the "norm" for the man who openly  stated a year ago;  "I'm driving this bus now!"

Well, between Republican Chairman Defruscio, Supervisor Langley and Ethics Chairman Gilbert, the people have just about had enough of the arrogant, childish behavior and actions of these  "Smart Way Forward"  engineers/creators.

Question;     what are we now prepared to do about Chris Defruscio ?   We know thats a "baited" question, but honestly, what shall we all do ?    He has scammed his way into the Town Hall by lying to every single voter in East Greenbush.  SWF  has not accomplished one single campaign promise and on the contrary, they have plundered Town resources and given key positions to people who are incapable of performing the task.   All the while, raking in substantial amounts of tax dollars.

The indignation of the Supervisor , especially when he's directly  queried  about some of his questionable decisions, is palpable and very visible.  The way he speaks to females  is  especially alarming.

So, do we suffer the next eleven months or do we take up the arduous task of sledgehammering away at whats left of SWF and bringing some accountability and stability  back into Town Hall ?

Comments please. Clean and stay on topic please.

Worth a look. This is the action of your new District Attorney

Happy Monday !
