Did Congel pay COMIDA in 2010? I still don't know. I know the Town of Irondequoit and the EICSD were paid by COMIDA - but the Monroe County Real Property Tax Portal still shows his 2010 payment as delinquent, and there are new totals for 2011 that are due the end of January (I think). There are still no payments listed under "Payment History" for 2010 - all other years are listed.
Check it out for yourself, below:
092.05-1-85.111
092.05-85.2
092.05-1-87.1
092.05-1-20
092.05-1-84
092.05-1-18
092.05-1-17
092.05-1-19
092.05-1-16
092.05-1-9
Also, and I find this very interesting, the totals due (that shows delinquent - green check) for 2010 are higher than before...which means penalties and fees are being added to those totals. If he paid COMIDA - then the total wouldn't be going up....riiiight?

Then & Now
Andrew Jackson gets called a jackass and he uses it for the symbol of the Democratic Party - Steve Eckel gets called a jackass and he demands an apology.
Link.
Look, Steve - I get called a C**T for putting my opinions up on a blog. Don't sweat it. Sticks and stones, man. Dan should apologize, because it's the right thing to do, and we need to set an example for the children all over the world - and you have my permission to call Dan a poopy-face-tomato-nose at the next meeting and we'll call it even, ok?
Then.....maybe THEN we can get back to the business of running the county? Maybe?
Sound like a good idea?

What's this? Fun?!?! Actual Fun?!?!
Looks like the Sea Breeze FD and neighborhood peeps got it right and had some fun to celebrate a sometimes forgotten area of Irondequoit during the cold winter months.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the Sea Breeze area - my great grandparents lived on Brad Street in the early 1900's, and my grandmother went to Durand Eastman School when it was built in 1914 (she was born in 1907 and my great aunt in 1911), and our family has many great memories of time spent there growing up. Simpler times I guess - but even when I was a kid many moons ago, parades were a big thing. You came out and stood along the sidelines, waving to the people passing by....waving your little flag or whatever in celebration. Treats were thrown from the people in the procession, and the kids all scrambled to get their share. Celebrating your neighborhood, or town, or country at a parade is fun. Even in winter.

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".)

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.)

Town Hall Is Historic - Not Histrionic
Ahhhhh - feels good for a change.
The beautiful, majestic Irondequoit Town Hall is now listed on the Town's historic registry - which protects that lovely building from ever being torn down, or from any future structural changes without going through the Preservation Committee first.

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:
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.
