This & That
"It's Legal, So It's Ethical." ~ Joe Morelle
Say what?
It was so ethical that Joe voted to change the law for anyone hired/elected after 1995 - because - we always change laws that are ethical.....riiiiiiight? Oy. Way to tap-dance around those questions!
Even NYC Mayor Bloomberg called it "the ultimate scam" - it's THAT ethical.
At least Gantt was just blunt and honest and basically told Rachel Barnhart that he "Doesn't talk to you." (Meaning white reporters named Rachel Barnhart, apparently.) I can appreciate the honesty, even though I think it's wrong to collect retirement and still "work" at the same job and collect a salary on top of it - (in quotation marks because Gantt failed to show up for 23 out of 84 session days last session.....so....uh....yeah..."work".)

I-Post Election Goodies
Lots of letters and ads in today's I-Post. There were no letters supporting Joe Morelle, and the paid ads were a report card on Dan Maffei, and another about two incumbents and the mess in NY - both paid for by Irondequoit Citizens for Better Government inc., a non-profit organization registered with NY State: Board members are Mary Finucane, Vince Patane, Marie Moscato-Foxton, and Richard Barone.
Maffei Report Card:

Oooo-Oooo-I'm Missing Youuuuuuu
If I was a Joe Morelle Mailer - that's the song I would be singing!
What are the mailers missing?
A "Not paid for at taxpayers expense" sentence, anywhere, on any of the multitudes of mailers that Joe has sent out. I don't see a "paid for by the MCDC" or "paid for by the state democratic committee" or "paid for by the seniors first committee" or "paid for by the friend of Joe Morelle comittee" - anywhere.
Did the taxpayers pay for these mailers?
The mailers don't say who is paying for them - I'm assuming that the taxpayers did.

Morelle - Can Dish It Out, But Can't Take It?
That seems to be Joe Morelle - City News has an article up where Joe is having a temper tantrum with the MC Fair Election Practices Committee. He sent out an e-mail about it.
From the article:
"Effective immediately, I am advising all Democratic candidates to withdraw participation in the Monroe County Fair Election Practices Committee until the sponsors re-format the committee in a fair, bipartisan manner.

Did Congel Pay His Taxes?
I was told (through articles and news reports) that he paid on March 15th - but when I click on the parcel ID #'s for the property included in the P.I.L.O.T. - it says he's still delinquent.
County tax rolls are usually filed around July 1st, so if he did pay in March, I would assume that this would be reflected in the information on the tax portal website. It isn't. It says he's still delinquent.
092.05-1-85.111
092.05-85.2
092.05-1-87.1
092.05-1-84
092.05-1-18
092.05-1-17
092.05-1-19
092.05-1-16
092.05-1-9
I'll use the first property as an example.

Release the Scorecards!
Unshackle Upstate is really getting into informing the public about our representatives in Albany. They have declared November 2nd as "Judgment Day", and they want the voting citizens to hold their elected officials accountable for change in our state, especially when it comes to job creation and helping our economy grow.
They've created "scorecards" as part of their "Judgment Day" campaign. From their website: "The Scorecard will be frequently updated to provide New Yorkers with information on how each of the 212 legislators vote on various pro-taxpayer and job creator legislation, as well as on this year's state budget."

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:

Walking The Walk
I don't know if you've noticed, but I complain a lot on here. I do...I know this, and I accept it. I don't know if everyone else is as accepting. :) But...ya know what? They may have a point in being "less receptive" to my complaining if I don't offer some type of solution, or alternative.
I know I have made some suggestions in the past, or I've said to just "do away" with some things to save some money and help municipalities run more efficiently. I don't always focus on the solutions (sometimes I do), and instead only point out the problems (a majority of the time).

Huh?
Link to 13Wham video. Or, click on play below to view.
I was reading Rachel Barnhart's blog over at 13Wham - and it discusses the importance of the support of Senator's Robach and Alesi for passing mayoral control of the RCSD to city council.
Good blog, and interesting quotes from Alesi and Robach and Urbanski.....but the one quote from Duffy I found interesting.

Congel Pays His Taxes - Morelle Wants To Give Him State Aid
"I have not spoken to the developer in several months," Morelle said, "So I think we're all rightly concerned about plans he has going forward, and I think it's time that people stepped up the pressure. And, 'look you have to make a decision soon.' Obviously it's an important project and we want it to move forward, but there won't be any State Aid and I won't be advocating for State Aid until we see a lot more activity by the developer."
You're going to give him State Aid too?!?!
