Had Enough ?

Over the past few weeks,  Langley , Defruscio, Gilbert and others left over from the SWF  fraud, have ramped up their continual harassment of  Mary Ann Matters.

Langley and Defruscio have publicly denied knowledge or involvement , which is an absolute joke of a lie.

As far as Deb Dimartino goes, apparently she is so afraid to buck the trend and walk away from Langley and Defruscio, she just simply votes as she's told.    Not good for the resident taxpayers of East Greenbush , not good at all !

So the question that begs asking is this;  do we -< all of us >  allow Langley and Defruscio to continue to walk our tax dollars into theirs and their friends pockets?   Do we go thru another winter with our streets not being plowed or maintained?   Do we allow  Ed Gilbert to masquerade as the Mussolini of the Ethics Committee ?  Lets be honest, he's only there to run interference for Langley and Defruscio.

Do we as taxpayers continue to allow Langley and Defruscio to screw us over on this Casino debacle ?
Lets be clear - whether your for it or against it, you should be openly disgusted with the way this scenario  was/is being handled by our Supervisor.  
Just attempt this simple task.  Make your way down the left hallway @ Town Hall  towards the glass partition. Make sure you stop at Denise Corellis  desk or face the wrath of hell  that is sure to come if you try to walk past.  Ask for a meeting with Langley and see where that gets you... you'll hear him in his office, but there's little or no chance you'll get an audience.

So, this all begs the question, is it time to act as a  Town , speak up against  our openly corrupt  Supervisor and his un-educated advisor, Defruscio.    Rich Crist has wanted control of East Greenbush for years.   We hope he's happy.  Despite his own personal legal woes, he can't possibly be thrilled with the way Defruscio is running  East Greenbush into the ground.    Phil Danaher runs  from questions and controversy, just ask  Jack Conway.   Some leadership huh ?     People were duped into the SWF  , "change and hope"  rhetoric.
There should be no doubt at this point that we were ALL openly screwed over by Chris Defruscio .

Defruscio preached fiscal accountability and  tax savings.....simple  question:  how's that working out  for  you ?

Had enough?   Us too !    Time for all of us to fill the  Town Board meetings and demand  accountability and  at the very least, our financial standings after ALL the audits. Audits that we still know nothing about !
