Dear Mr. Moore & Mr. Nottell -
Please publicly repudiate my previous blog....hell, repudiate them all if ya want.
Do this before Aldersley files a complaint against you for my negative, professional naysayer blog, and then you have to publicly state that you think I'm a buffoon....wait...can you call me a "crotchety old haus frau"? I like that better....anyways....please denounce this blog and you could say that I'm "rogue" and that I do exactly what I want to do...that would be nice.
Please, PLEASE do this so we don't have to suffer through another last ditch effort of Aldersley and Perticone to use the FEPC for playing politics.
I know you have NOTHING at all to do with this blog, but since you don't have anything to do with the ads that Barone put in the papers, or the C.F.B.G. and have to denounce the ads in public - I suppose you'd have to cover your derriere for my blog too.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Jax :)

Love/Hate Relationships
It seems that CERTAIN people of the Democrat persuasion, have a love/hate relationship going on within their own heads over the FEPC.
It has to do with playing politics, what they think is good for the town, and the Fair Election Practices Committee.
Playing politics - Aldersley and Perticone (and MJD) complain that there is too much partisanship and political bickering in town, and it's not good for the town. But then, Aldersley (who didn't even sign the fair election practices committee's pledge to adhere to such high standards) filed a complaint against Moore and Nottell.......for the report card ads that Barone puts in the I-Post every year.

Ads & Letters In I-Post
Here are some items that were in the Irondequoit Post pertaining to the upcoming elections. The letters section had a very good letter from Ginny Maier.
Here's the text of Ginny's excellent letter:
Were developer’s interests put before town’s I was a resident of Irondequoit when the latest Medley Center agreement was signed. Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone were on the Town Board at that time. They signed off on a change to the town zoning law written just for this developer, which gave him the right to make changes to the project without any further public review, a privilege that no other property owner has. They agreed to a property tax break that Aldersley herself (at a Town Board meeting on March 2009) estimated as worth $40 million. When the 84-page text of the PILOT was released to the public, we were given less than three business days to review the agreement before the Town Board voted on it.
Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone refused repeated requests from residents for more time to understand the size, the length and the details of the tax benefit provided before their vote.
John Perticone never responded to repeated emails from residents expressing concerns about the agreement. But at a Town Board meeting in February 2009, he made a point of thanking the developer, saying “it’s been a nice process.”
Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone have remained on the Town Board while the developer of Medley has repeatedly ignored or missed deadlines that were built into the agreement to, supposedly, protect the town and its taxpayers. They have done nothing to require that the developer be held accountable to the agreement they signed.
Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone have repeatedly failed to act in the best interest of the people they represent in the most consequential matter to come before the Town Board in their terms of office.
Do you think they should continue to represent you?

Campaign Mailers
It seems that MJD, Aldersley, & Perticone want everyone else to be more positive and respectful of others - but exempt themselves from the "fair campaign" pledge that Perticone and Mary Joyce D'Aurizio signed recently with the League of Women Voters.
Ament is out to ATTACK KIDS? Will he really do anything to grab headlines? Did he LIE about "our children"? Is he really PLAYING POLITICS WITH OUR CHILDREN?!?! FEAR HIM IRONDEQUOIT!!!!! FEAR HIIIMMMMMMM!
It's about people, not politics! Obviously!
Wow, what a joke of a mailer. Hope he contacts the League of Women Voters to advise them of this mailer. How positively political and negative this mailer is. I would expect this from the Dems......and now MJD is a part of that. How simply sad and bad that is.
UPDATE 12:30 am 9/13/11:
Moore and Nottel have a simple card that states the facts of who the Republicans are and who the Democrats are. Nothing mean, negative, or nasty.....very nice.
Here are some mailers from MJD, Aldersley, & Perticone - they even recycled the old "It's not magic - bunny in a magic hat" theme from 2009:Mailers MJD, Aldersley Perticone
DEMOCRATS WHO CARRIED PETITIONS:
Somebody sent me an "unofficial" list of the Democrats who carried petitions for MJD, Aldersley, & Perticone. They were from notes that were in pencil when they looked at the petitions, so some of the names may be spelled wrong. Here is the list:
John Polit
Seth Tebman (Allwood)
Dave Murphy (Kennedy)
James Rosse (Lakeshore, Eaton Rd)
Erin Burdick (Falstaff)
Vince Esprosels ( Bayview)
Adam Bello
F Nasso (Vayo, Eastview)
Chris Jensen Cedargrove
Sue Rodgers (Huntington Hills)
Mary Ellen Jones
Ed O'Brien Winona
John Perticone
Sally Steinwach
James Romeo
Aldersley
Stefan Flemming

Cross Endorsement Ad In I-Post
Happy Labor Day! Hope you're enjoying not laboring today, and if you are laboring, bully for you! You hard worker, you. That holiday pay is niiiiiice.
There was a 4 page ad in this week's I-Post. You might have missed it since it was an insert this time instead of an ad directly on the page of the paper.
I decided to scan the ad and put it on here in a pdf - it might be a little choppy because it was an odd size ad, and it didn't fit in my scanner.....but you'll be able to read it, and it might help you understand a little better.....the process of a cross endorsement, and how your ballot might look. Barone Ad in MPN
***Note: Christian Redder is listed as a candidate in the Democrat Primary for Town Board in this ad - but as far as I know, he is no longer interested in running for Town Board and has chosen not to run due to family reasons (.Link to I-Post story that quotes Redder as saying he is not running.)
In a nutshell, if you vote for MJD, Aldersley, and Perticone on Primary Day - you will only see those names appear on BOTH the Republican and Democrat lines in the November General Elections.
If Democrats vote for Ament in the Democrat Primary for Town Supervisor - he will win the primary and you will see Ament's name on the Democrat line, and MJD's name on the Republican line in the November General Elections. (She will have lost the Democrat primary and only appear on the Republican line.) It doesn't mean that Ament will be Supervisor - it just means his name will appear on the November ballot. You'll have a choice in November instead of MJD's name on both D&R lines.
If Republicans vote for Moore and Nottel in the Republican Primary for Town Board - they will win the primary and you will see Moore and Nottel's name on the Republican lines, and Aldersley and Perticone's names on the Democrat lines in the November General Elections. (Aldersley and Perticone would have lost the Republican primary and only appear on the Democrat line.) It doesn't mean that Moore and Nottel will be on the Town Board - it just means that their names will appear on the November ballot. You'll have a choice in November instead of Aldersley and Perticones names on both D&R lines.
So many people are confused about this cross endorsement and they don't understand the process. Some are confused on how Democrats can be on Republican primary ballots and Republicans on Democrat primary ballots - and some of them are just saying "Oh bother. This is too confusing. I'm not even going to go vote on September 13th."
Isn't that the attitude they are hoping for?
Making voter apathy even MORE apathetic? It can certainly work in their favor, that's for sure.
If you want choices this November - GO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY. They certainly aren't giving the voters any choices.
The voters have to vote to give themselves choices. How sad is that? Here are some articles about the primary, and candidate's previews in the I-Post.

Political Protestors On Town Hall Property
John Perticone and Mary Joyce D'Aurizio - why was this allowed?
It's political, isn't it?

Everything Is Political
Town Board Meeting.....
I'm sorry - but are you f$#%!@* kidding me with that whole "You're being political" junk at public input? Is she going to do that to every speaker she disagrees with or doesn't like? Since they are all basically politicians sitting on that board, and every speaker from January 1st to December 31st of that year could be political in their public input.......are they only censured around election time? How come when they ran for public office, it was ok for them to coincidentally show up for public input around election time and "be political" in their comments? Why was it ok for John and Stephanie to go up at public input when they were running for Town Board? When Mary Ellen Jones mentions that she was a Senator, or a proud Democrat.....isn't that political? That was allowed.
How come the cross endorsement comments from June/July meetings weren't "censured"?
Aldersley and Perticone showing up for Public Input around election time - Aldersley introduced as a Legislator and Perticone lobbying for using local labor for Walgreens (a private development)......wasn't that political? Is it a coincidence that all current Town Board members never really spoke at public input that much - but around August (if there is a primary) and October (just before November elections) - the candidates are alllllll about giving their public input at that time. Uncanny.
October 2005 and also in 2007.

I Did It. Did You?
I have my twenty bucks, my card that says "Thank You All - Love, Jax" inside of it, and my stamped/addressed envelope all ready for the postal carrier to pick up from my mailbox as soon as I am done assembling it all together.

July 2010 Periodic Report
They are out today! Make sure you check your reps campaign finances, and see who they are working for. Google the names and addresses to find out who owns our elected officials.
Go to Monroe County BOE and on the left hover over "campaign finance", and from the drop down menu select "disclosure reports", and then I usually select "view committee by name" and type in the name I am researching.
Here are Morelle's July Periodic reports:
