Didja see that letter to the I Post the other day? From a "Mathew Lewis Norton Street, Irondequoit"?
This one:
"Mathew Lewis" does not exist.
Wanna know why?
First of all, it "oozes" politics. The whole letter was bashing Mark Scuderi, for writing a guest essay giving his opinion on the way this Senior Center issue was handled.
Mr. Scuderi never said the vote was a fiasco. He said "After the recent fiasco with the Senior Center......."
Also, the infomercial "Mathew" speaks of Mr. Scuderi doing on ICAT was when he was running for Town Council, and that video was paid for by the Republicans......not the Irondequoit taxpayers.
"Mathew" starts out saying "Divisive comments aren't helping." Dedicates a token couple of sentences about the Senior Center Vote.....and then proceeds to make divisive comments, and personal attacks against Mr. Scuderi.
Actually, the majority of his letter is about Scuderi, and not the issues of the Senior Center. He offers no suggestions, or solutions either.
Second, a resident who happens to be a neighbor of the Lewis' on Norton street, found out that the address given by "Mathew" was the same address as their neighbors - the Lewis'- who were away in Florida, and not due home for another couple of weeks.
There is an "M Lewis" listed for this addresss, but it's not a "Mathew" that lives at that address. Norton Street, in Irondequoit, runs between Helendale and Culver Rd. - there aren't that many houses on that stretch - and neighbors know their neighbors, and nobody knows a Mathew Lewis who lives on that stretch in Irondequoit. I think I counted about 40 houses on that stretch of Norton from Culver to Helendale.
Here is a link to a map of the Town Boundaries for Norton Street in Irondequoit.

So, anyways....the rest of the story....When the neighbor was outside today, she saw the Lewis' pull into their driveway....they had decided to come home early. She went over and told them about the letter and the address that was given was the same as theirs. The couple (neither are named Mathew and don't know anyone named Mathew Lewis,) called MPN to complain. We are hoping that they write a letter to the I Post to confirm that their address is NOT where that letter came from, and that someone is using their last name, and their home address to play their political games.
Identity theft is not fun. Basically, that's what this letter writer did. He/She stole their last name and address to write a letter to the I Post to slam Mark Scuderi because there are rumors he might run for Supervisor.
Also, it's interesting to note, that anyone who has easy access to an absentee voter list would know who was away, and when they were due back, making it simple to "use" that address for a fake letter to "slam" the "opposition"....because it's that time of year again.]
I guarantee, any time now, "the opposition" will go from accusing a "small group of people" to the whole Irondequoit Republican party.....because the Dems want to get elected.
Good thing Turner wrote this letter in February:
For the next 8 months, we can look forward to this kind of stuff.
Yay!
Anyways....."Mr. Fakity-Fake-Fake Mathew Lewis" has said in his letter:
"He said communication was avoided; but all the town leaders I wrote to, responded to me."
Well now.....if that's true.....there's going to be a recent record of that "communication" that can be FOIL'd, right? Of course there should be a recent record of that.
So......In about 21 days......we should find out if there really was any communication between "Mr. Lewis who doesn't live at the address he gave" and the "town leaders".
Oh...and we found out "Mr. Fakity's" e-mail too. We're trying to contact him.
I suggest that next time, he uses the nom de plume of Jerry Lewis, as I believe it is more applicable.
Too funny. And transparent.
