Misinformation on Budget

Warning: Certain people are going around to all the blogs and spreading rampant and blatant misinformation, and also commenting on articles in the I-Post about the budget - and they are wrong.

Here's the link to the I Post article about the budget.

Here is the article:


Under the article are comments from Iohad2010 - Joe Morelle supporter - she supposedly quotes from the Supervisor and Town Board Manual (who else would have a copy of that but a former tb member?) - and never provides a link to anything she claims. She is spreading blatant misinformation - which is par for the course.

We'll go comment by comment:

So Funny

This is what I get so annoyed with - party loyalists who rail against another person for supposedly doing something, and then blatantly ignore when their own do it.

This article in the D&C titled "New Leadership Must Take The Reins In Albany" - the same day the D&C endorsed Mark Scuderi for the 132nd over Morelle.

A commenter on there said that Mark Scuderi signs were all over blocking views and near curbs in the right of way and to call and complain because it's illegal, and if he can't follow laws about signs then how can we trust him to represent us.....lol - Cheri commented that she was working on the campaign and had no calls of complaints - what e-mail did you send your complaint to? The commenter never said. Cheri asks where the illegal signs are located so she could go pick them up so they aren't a nuisance. No answer. No pictures. No proof. Just some anonymous person on the internet saying things that probably weren't true - and even if it was true.....we have this.......

Thinking

Over the weekend I had an interesting epiphany through some rather bizarre conversations at me. I say "at me" because I really didn't respond back. I just didn't know how to concisely put to words all of the thoughts I had when I was being told how wrong I was.

The gist of it - power. Power to *my* beliefs, power to what *I* believe in, power to what serves *me*. It's "survival", I was told.

Is that a Democrat or Republican philosophy? Would you be surprised if I told you it was a Democrat? Would you NOT be surprised if I told you it was a Republican?

Does it matter? (It was a Democrat by the way.)
