This is so true and unfortunately has been the hallmark of SWF since January 2nd 2014. The ringmaster is Chumplee Dumbfruscio, which explains the actions of Ed Gilbert and the Duhmands and Matterss blog. All of this action and inaction by Putz is at the express directions of Chumplee Dumbfruscio and Rich Crist. Bringing back the washed up Mike Poorman only adds to the insanity !
I take no issue with the diatribes directed at Langley and his associates. In fact I support those views completely.
My issues are:
1.) Please do not ignore the simple reality that things were no different and no better under the previous administration. 2.) Please DO SOMETHING about the allegations you make. Take action, file a complaint but DO SOMETHING.
11:57; agree wholeheartedly with you. But, I think after reading alot of whats posted here, maybe they can't do something for fear of retribution. Things were marginally better in the previous administration and employees of the Town were treated much better. Langley,Gilbert,Corellis and Defruscio hate most employees of the Town and don't make any attempt to hide that fact .
The employees of the DPW suffer each and every day because of Corellis and his famous temper.
Then there's the Chief of Police. He drives a school bus almost every day , morning and afternoon runs. Then he also has the contract to Plow the lot of the bus garage as well, most always on Town time when he supposed to be the Chief if Police ! Everyone knows it, so I ask you, why is nothing being done about it. He is clearly stealing time from the Town . He effectively took about 28 thousand tax dollars back in 2002 by putting in for overtime he was not entitled to while he was a salaried employee of the Town. Then supervisor Bob Angelini had him over a barrel but apparently let him off when quite frankly, the man should have been terminated!
This town suffers daily from abuse of those in charge and the examples are there for all to see. BTW: Lavin is a staunch Republican and therefore Langley will do nothing, and with Lavins brother-inlaw, Mike Poorman back in Town Hall, thats almost a guarantee that nothing will be done !
Gadflies are/were so focused on the Casino that they overlooked alot of other mischief being conducted daily in Town.
The men and women who serve in our DPW and Police Department deserve our support . They cannot say anything publically, However , there are ALOT of residents who are keenly aware of the abuse and outright thievery of town resources and tax dollars.
My suggestion is if the Chief wants to be a bus driver so bad, he should retire and go drive a bus ! Anthony Corellis should go back to his septic business and leave the work of the DPW to someone who truly wants to be there !
I distinctly remember his bogus "police commission" where he annointed himself Chief and commissioner and then took a hefty pay raise as well. The man is like a dinosaur . Needs to walk away.
Between the Chief of Police and the Building Inspector, who's screwing the taxpayers worse ? Lavin has Mike Poorman as his safety net, Jo Cherubino has Chump Defruscio and all the rest of his relatives as his safety net.
All in all, the taxpayers of East Greenbush get screwed every day and with Gilbert stonewalling Ethics complaints against the SWF machine, we're going nowhere fast !
The problem with all of the guys mentioned above is they're greedy? They're looking at their retirement years and the more ya make within the last 3 years, the better off you are. Joe Cherubino has more than he'll ever need; he's got a live in - BUT is he happy? He doesn't have enough yet. Same with the Chief of Police; and the hits just keep on a coming!! Langley has realized (and its about time) that DEF was a nuise around his neck as is Corellis; but how do ya get rid when you have SMILEY as HIS secretary. They're all a piece of work. Do whats right SUPE; make CHERUBINO retire; and get rid of the Corellis gang including Mr. Lettuce - Romaine!! They're not going to help you with the election in November, thats for sure. They'll do what they did to McCAbe; "Oh yeah we voted for ya!" NOT. Wouldn't be surprised if Joey didn't pull the lever for his "good buddy." He is such a phoney from way back when. Somebody owed somebody a big time favor for him to keep his job for this long! Adios Joey!
To: 3:24 -- Well, thats a mouthful, but so true. Joey has a live in who makes more than he does working being retired; she has 2 pt jobs. How greedy can ya be? They all have to retire sometime; hopefully when they do, they'll lower the chief's salary and Joey's to 40 grand a year. That would a well deserved salary for what they do; walk around with their hands in their pockets!!
Folks, Joe C is a long time friend of Rick McCabe's. Golfing buddies even. Do anyone of you forget Joe C's heartfelt good bye speech at McCabe's last town board meeting?
All your comments are proving is that BOTH political party machines have done nothing but a disservice for the good people of East Greenbush.
Are Langley and his pitiful cronies bad? You bet. No argument and we completely agree. But Langley and his stooges are no better, and no worse, than Rick McCabe and his cronies.
And to those of you who claim to know about legal wrongdoing by Langley and his henchmen if you fail to properly address all of that you are cowards. The Gadflies took a stand on numerous issues. Have the courage of your convictions to do the same. Hate the Gadflies all you want. Ridicule them as you have in the past. But at least respect them for doing what none of you have the brains and the guts to do: SOMETHING POSITIVE FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN.
Don Johnson, Dwight Jenkins, Jack Conway, Bonnie Lester and a whole bunch of other people are heroes. They took on the establishment and have driven positive change for the people of our town.
Among the democratic party activists there are people like Pete Stenson, Joe LaMountain, and members of the original and (sadly) former Ethics Committee who have stepped away from the dirt and made positive contributions to things around town.
2:11 - read January 16th @ 115pm. He/she puts it pretty clear why maybe some are reluctant to do something positive. Much to the dismay of SWF creator, Chris Defruscio, many town employees are all too willing to throw him under the bus-( pun intended ) and are sick of the mishandling of the Towns resources under the current regime. They, many of them, are life long town residents with more than a few years of employment, Much to the disappointment to many of them, they see the complete foolish decisions being made daily by political stooges like Anthony Corellis. Its hard to watch each day as Corellis continues down the path of destruction. The man clearly has absolutely no idea what he's doing and it shows. Then you have the dog and pony show of Chris Lavin. He spends more time behind the wheel of a school bus then he does leading the Police Department. There's also the fact that Lavin is plowing the parking lot of the bus garage, while he's supposed to be working...how does all this happen? Complete arrogance ! Thats how. Corellis and Lavin believe that they are Superman, invisible to all and untouchable and unapproachable. There's alot of information that Dwight, Jack,Don nor Bonnie would ever gleen , regardless of how many FOILS they file. But simply ask a longtime Town employee, and you'd be surprised what you'd learn !
Is there a way we can get a clean slate at the Town Hall; can we have a Manager to take over and get things done; starting with abolishing every non union job there and start fresh. Certainly needs to be done and soon. What say you; anyone agree with me???
Love it ! describes the Chairman of the Ethics Board perfectly !
ReplyDeleteThis would apply to the Chump and Putz as well.... just sayin

Todays Advertiser reads two interesting letters from MAM and Jack Conway. Well worth your time to read.
ReplyDeleteExcellent reading!
DeleteThey are also posted on Gadfly.
We are all born ignorant but you must work hard to remain stupid.
ReplyDeleteThat will be the legacy of Ed Gilbert and Chris Defruscio !
and Keith Langley too !
ReplyDeleteParticularly Keith Langley!

The whole Town knows he's out driving a bus ! Thats nothing new.
