Czars to oversee Czars

The problem with talking about things is that sometimes you give people ideas that they may never have thought of. Like when you are talking to kids about sex, you may be afraid to tell them certain things because it may encourage them to do so.

I'm a little nervous to share this information, but think that the greater good will be served by sharing, rather than not sharing. My concern is that our County Executive who is CRAZY about creating Deputy and Asst. Deputy Executive positions to oversee everything under the sun might get some ideas.

Apparently, our President has the same problem as Mike Hein, but only with Czars. He can't get enough of them.

As the people footing the bill for all of this - we need to stand up and say NO MORE. Enough is enough with the Czars and the Deputy County Executives and the Assistant Deputy County Executives. Let's try and do more with less. I've cut back in my household - it's time for our politicians to do the same thing.

List of Obama’s Czars

List Compiled by Glenn Beck

August 14, 2009 – 12:50 ET

As of July 20, 2009:

• The Brainroom counts 32 czars in the Obama administration, based on media reports from reputable sources that have identified the official in question as a czar.
• In addition, President Obama has said that he will create the position of cyber czar, and there have been media reports that there could be a health insurance czar and a copyright czar. When and if those positions are filled, that would bring the total to 35.
• Since czar isn’t an official job title, the number is somewhat in the eye of the beholder.

Paterson must be smoking crack

Gov. David Paterson blames calls for him to step aside on race

By Kenneth Lovett
Daily News Albany Bureau Chief

Friday, August 21st 2009, 11:08 AM

Hermann for News

New York Governor David Paterson

ALBANY - Gov. Paterson said Friday he knows the reason behind the "crescendo" of calls for him not to seek re-election next year: it's because he's black.

Speaking on a morning radio show hosted by Daily News columnist Errol Louis, an angry Paterson blamed the white-dominated media for pushing him to step aside next year.

"The whole idea is to get me not to run in the primary," he said. Paterson complained there are not enough "black" media outlets to counteract the push.

And he suggested that Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, the country's only other African-American governor, also is under fire because of his race.

"We're not in the post-racial period," Paterson said.

"The reality is the next victim on the list, and you can see it coming, is President Barack Obama, who did nothing more than trying to reform a health care system."

"My feeling is it's being orchestrated, it's a game, and people who pay attention know that," he said.

"We have a media that doesn't report the news. We have a media that wants to make the news."

Paterson insisted he's made tough decisions to deal with the state's budget ballooning budget deficits while at the same time increasing welfare benefits and softening the harsh Rockefeller drug laws.

He noted the state, despite its fiscal crisis, has not had to write IOUs or have its bond ratings drastically reduced like California and is not in as bad straits as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Massachusetts.

Paterson has been heavily criticized by key Democrat allies in the Legislature, labor community and elsewhere in recent months.

"What did I do that I should not run for reelection?" he asked.

Despite enjoying high approval ratings in his first several months in office last year, his popularity plummeted to as low as 18% after a series of mishaps in the late spring.

The latest polls show about 30% approving of the job Paterson is doing.

He also seemed to take a shot at Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, a possible primary competitor, Polls show Cuomo would trounce the governor in a match-up.

"If I run in the primary, the same people who are sitting in beach chairs while I'm in the oceans with the sharks will have to come in to the ocean - and they will be eaten alive."

He said there would be no shame in running for a full term and losing. "It will be my highest honor to have served as governor of this state, to make the tough decisions," he said.

Judge Issues Restraining Order Blocking Ravitch from Serving as Lietuenant Governor

7/21/09 By The Associated Press

MINEOLA — A judge has issued a restraining order blocking Richard Ravitch from serving as New York Gov. David Paterson's lieutenant governor

State Supreme Court Justice William LaMarca issued his ruling in Nassau County late Tuesday afternoon.

Paterson appointed Ravitch, a former head of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, earlier this month as a way of breaking a monthlong leadership deadlock in the state Senate — a deadlock that was resolved anyway when a Democratic senator who had defected to the Republican caucus switched back.

Attorneys for the state Senate argued the state Constitution does not allow for the appointment of a lieutenant governor when a vacancy occurs.

The governor's attorney says a state law allows him to fill some vacant posts until the next election.

Petition Signing Season is Over

Petition signing season is over. The Board of Elections gives EVERYONE 6 weeks to get this done. Like everything in life, there are those who get up and out early and get their work done and others procrastinate and wait until the last minute.

Hey procrastinator candidates: Did you file your acceptance for parties other than your own? Those petitions won't be any good without your acceptance.

The next season is a short season: Petition Challenge Season.

It's always interesting to see who understands the rules and follows them on their petitions, and who doesn't and gets their petitions challenged. Also who carried the petitions? FOIL FOIL FOIL FOIL FOIL FOIL FOIL FOIL

All of this will starting dripping out in dribs and drabs from the Board of Elections.

Feel free to post your Petition Challenge Season and Other Petition News here.

If he's gay, we're cool with that

If he's gay, we're cool with that. There are some other blogs and comments out there that are alleging that Andy Zweben is the person who originally found the Craigslist Man to Man personal of Mike Madsen and that Zweben himself is gay. Who else looks at Man to Man ads, but gay men? If Mr. Zweben is gay, we are OK with that and so should everyone else. You can say whatever you want about him, but to attack him because he is gay is every bit as wrong as attacking Mike Madsen because he is gay.

Zatz and Bartels are in

Carl Zatz (D) and Tracey Bartels (D) are in. Both have announced that they will be running for Ulster County Legislator in District 8.

Zatz has previously beaten the Conservative Party candidate Jack Hayes in the race for Supervisor.

The Republican Party has backed Hayes (C), Ken Rock (R-incumbent) and Cathy Terrizzi (R-incumbent).

Republicans did not back Republican Minority Leader Glenn Noonan at their convention. Noonan is carrying petitions and will force a primary in September in his bid to try and reclaim his spot on the Republican ballot line in November.

Schools get it, why can't Ulster County Legislator Frank Dart?

Ulster County Legislator Frank Dart is circulating a personal ad of his opponent, current Kingston City Alderman (and candidate for the UC Legislature) Mike Madsen.

We teach our children in schools that Homophobic bullying is unacceptable. Why is it OK for an Ulster County Legislator to use a man-to-man personal ad during campaigning? The answer is that it is not OK.

There is no reason for Frank Dart to be showing this type of information to people - other than to try and find homophobic voters who would be influenced not to vote for Mike Madsen because of this. This is homophobic bulling at its worst. Frank Dart should be ashamed of himself.

Happy Father's Day

Races to Watch

The balance of the Ulster County Legislature is at stake this November.

Until the endorsements of the Conservative and Independence Parties are made official, it is premature to weigh in on specific candidates.

However, the battlegrounds can be easily narrowed down to specific Legislative districts.

District One
Deal or no deal down there, this district would have been Dems 3, Republicans 1. OR 4 Dems. It is a heavily Democratic District. Sue Cummings has been a Legislator down there for over 25 years and was able to hold on to her seat because of that. Any new comer or old comer Republican would have been hard pressed to retain Cummings' seat much less pick up 2 seats.

District Two
Same deal as District One.... heavily Democratic District, two incumbents Monserate stands no chance.

District Three
Typically this district is the same deal as District Two, heavily Democratic and 3 incumbents. No one will beat the Paretes, but since the former incumbent Kraft left and Hochberg was appointed, the Conservative and Independence endorsements could affect this race. One seat in District Three remains in play.

District Four
This entire District is up for grabs. Roberti, like Sue Cummings is a long time incumbent and he is leaving due to the hatch act. Aiello is a town favorite, but his failure to show up for his job as a Legislator may have worn thin on the voters this year. This is a race to watch.

District Five
This is entire Town and District will be a bloodbath. Anything can happen. Let the games begin.

District Six
District Six will remain Democrat, but the real story here is incumbent Alderman Mike Madsen who was snubbed by his own party is out carrying petitions to primary against Jeanette and Frank. Let the Democratic games begin in this District.

District Seven
This District may prove to be one of the key battle grounds (in addition to four and eight). This is one district that definitely needs to be watched, and the 3rd party endorsements will play a big part in this District. Let the games begin.

District Eight
Drama Drama Drama Drama and more Drama. No official word if the Democrats are even putting anyone up. The only thing to say about this District is that it is in competition with District Five for the District for the biggest bloodbath of the election season. This is definitely a race to watch, but not because of the 3rd party lines. This is going to be a war of campaigning.

District Nine
The Democrats have Districts Two, Six, Ten and Twelve sewn up by enrollment advantage and lack of opposition. The Republicans have had this District locked up by enrollment advantage for years. Nothing will change here. Four Rs will all win easily.

District Ten
New Paltz, two Dems, no Republicans, no race.

District Eleven
Even without the third party endorsements announced yet, Maio has a shot at taking out Decker. Hansut is safe. Watch this race, but it will be not be anywhere as exciting as Eight or Five.

District Twelve
Kingston, two Dems, two Republicans. It would be really great if this were a race. Maybe the Democrats in Kingston have had ENOUGH of the Kingston crew. Antics by Democrats like Ann Marie DiBella and Mayor Sottile may have worn thin on the voters. Maybe it's time for a change? When is the last time that Dave Donaldson or Pete Loughran had to WORK for their Legislative seats? Maybe this is the year.

All being said, the race to watch from most exciting to least exciting are:

1. Tie for District Five and Eight - WOW
2. Tie for District Four and Seven
3. District Six
4. Tie for District Three Eleven and Twelve
5. District One and Two
6. District Nine, and Ten

Overconfidence

This past week at the Republican convention, an overconfident Glenn Noonan was rejected by the Republicans as their candidate for Ulster County Legislator in District 8. District 8 is made up of the Town of Gardiner, a small part of the Town of New Paltz and most of the Town of Shawangunk. There are three Legislators from this District - Glenn Noonan (R), Cathy Terrizzi (R) and Ken Ronk (R). Noonan is the senior member of the team and is also the Minority Leader in the Ulster County Legislature.

Noonan is widely know for enjoying stirring up things. He is a real thorn in Ulster County Executive Mike Hein's side, and is known for sometimes taking things too far. Independent Ulster did a post in December of 2008 titled "Noonan Blows It" where we wrote that Independent Ulster was very disappointed to see Republican Legislative “leader” Glenn Noonan promise “gridlock” if two more Republicans are elected to the County Legislature. We concluded that we hope Noonan was just caught up in the moment, because if he truly is seeking gridlock, his fellow GOP legislators need to replace him – now - or they will not win the seats they are otherwise capable of winning.

It seems that our prediction came true. Noonan has been working extra hard lately at alienating people. Either the GOP or the Conservatives decided that they want to replace him. They received help from a long time Non-Noonan fan, Conservative Party member, and former Town Supervisor, Jack Hayes. The three incumbents (Noonan, Terrizzi and Ronk) and Jack Hayes were nominated at the Republican Convention. There was a vote by the District 8 Committee Members and Ronk, Terrizzi and Hayes were the top vote getters. Noonan received only 6 votes (and one of those votes was his own for himself).

Noonan is now threatening a primary and trying to get support from the Democrats to run on their line. He is continuing to alienate people and has been rumored to have conducted himself very unprofessionally in his interaction with Legislator Ronk and Legislator Terrizzi.

We think that the GOP and Conservatives did the right thing. We saw the handwriting on the wall in December 2008. Overconfidence makes people cocky and Noonan has no one to blame but himself.

A fax put into a file and forgotton about?

Yesterday's Daily Freeman reported that the Ulster County Attorney's Office failed to inform county lawmaker's about a federal agency's findings that female officers at the county jail may have been subjected to sexual harassment, discrimination and a hostile work environment, according to County Attorney Beatrice (formerly Mike Hein's Deputy County Executive - this stinks to high heaven) Havranek.

Bea goes on to say that it was an oversight. That's convenient Bea. Blame it on the County Attorney who was just disciplined for unethical behavior.
She says that they got a fax. It was place in a file and "it just stayed there". Of course it did. Only to Bea - who went on to be a Deputy Executive and guardian of Mike Hein and now protects Hein from the County Attorney's office - would somehow think that makes sense. It just stayed there???? Are you serious???? You want us to belive that Mike had nooooooo idea about it. Mike and Josh never ever ever every talked about it. Oh that's right PATRICIA DOXSEY reports that Mike Hein who was County Administrator in November said that he was not told of the EEOC findings when they were issued because the county attorney didn't answer to him at the time. Yea right Mike. The Church Lady on Saturday Night Live would say......"well Mike isn't that CONVENIENT for you"!

The taxpayers and employees of Ulster County government deserve more than faxes from the EEOC that are filed and forgotten about, and a County Administrator that had "no idea" what was going on. This needs to be investigated more. This is not the whole story.

Uncle Sam Inc.

A good money manager might call it a diversified investment portfolio.

Some banks.

An insurance company (AIG).

And automaker General Motors!

Uncle Sam must be feeling good.

For that's what he's holdings as a result of President Obama's shopping spree of the last few months -- actual businesses in which the US federal government has taken controlling interest.

The feds look to be holding some 70 percent of a restructured General Motors once an anticipated bankruptcy petition is filed -- this coming not 60 days after Obama canned CEO Rick Wagoner.

Meanwhile, Edward Liddy of government-supervised AIG recently announced that he was quitting.

No surprise: Why take a salary of $1 a year -- which Liddy was doing -- when his every decision is subject to governmental second-guessing?

Now even a columnist for the Russian newspaper Pravda is happily mocking the United States.

"It must be said that, like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people," writes Stanislav Mishin.

He adds: "[Obama's] spending and money-printing has been record-setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year . . . America at best will resemble the Weimar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe."

That's over the top, but not by much.

And the further the US goes down this path -- owning private companies, if not entire industries -- the harder it becomes to return to the entrepreneurial system that has kept the nation prosperous for more than two centuries.

Time to turn about, Mr. President.

From today's New York Post.

I had no illusions that much would change after Democrats recently took total control of Albany. There is not much difference between the parties when it comes to spending our money in rage-inducing ways. Still, I am not happy that my exceedingly low expectations again have been met.

The latest backhand across taxpayers’ faces came with the $90,000 patronage job handed to ex-Amherst supervisor Susan Grelick. She started Monday as counsel to the State Senate’s Local Government Committee.

If you were not aware that the State Senate had a Local Government Committee, you are not alone. Like other legislative committees, it does little, meets seldom and exists mainly as a way to pad legislators’ paychecks.

Grelick’s early Christmas gift comes on the heels of the $70,000 plum handed to “Baby Joe” Mesi. The ex-boxer will run the field office that Senate Democrats soon will open in Buffalo, the creation of which I know was high on everyone’s wish list.

The stated purpose of the office is to convey the party’s message, as if we did not get the gist of it with the $8 billion of new budget-filling taxes and fees we just got slammed with. The actual purpose of the office is to reward Mesi for his recent, failed State Senate run—and to keep him rested and well-fed for his next go-round.

Patronage is nothing new. But this is different in one way: It obliterates any speck of hope that anyone in Albany is interested in reform. Newly empowered Democrats had a chance to show us they could be different. They had an opportunity to, in a show of taxpayer empathy, turn away from the dessert tray. Instead, they helped themselves to more.

Democrats—who hold the governor’s office and run the Assembly—last November completed the trifecta by capturing the Senate by a one-seat majority. With victory comes the spoils of extra jobs and newly sprouted “field offices.”

Democrats say they are not—by handing out jobs to Mesi, Grelick and other loyal soldiers—doing anything that Republicans did not do when they held power. The rationale underlines the depth of their disdain and the scope of their cluelessness.

No one in the real world believes it is OK to waste our money just because somebody else did. We are desperate for someone in Albany to, just once, put our plight ahead of their perks.

For Democrats to hand out patronage jobs, weeks after adding an $8 billion brick to upstate’s load, borders on the criminal. These people—starting with new Senate boss Malcolm Smith (masmith@senate.state.ny.us)—should be ashamed of themselves. But shame is not a detectable emotion in the State Capitol. Albany’s control by the notorious “three men in a room”—the governor and the Senate and Assembly majority leaders—makes the 212-member State Legislature about as useful as an extra pinky finger. Yet the care and feeding of state lawmakers—18 of them from Western New York—annually costs us $228 million in salaries, staff and perks. The bill runs from each part-time legislator’s $79,500 base salary, to paychecks padded by “work” on useless committees, to a legion of gratuitous staff jobs— cases in point, Mesi and Grelick.

Jobs are disappearing, people are fleeing upstate as if it were on fire and the national recession is tightening the screws. These people in Albany act like nothing is wrong.

A reporter recently questioned Smith, the Senate majority leader, about plans by Democratic Senators for international trips at a time “when Rome is burning.”

“First of all, who says Rome is burning?” Smith cluelessly replied.

Perhaps Mr. Smith should come to Buffalo.

Tedisco leads by 97 votes as of April 6

The New York State Bard of Elections' vote tally as of the end of business on April 6 is Jim Tedisco up by 97 votes. Given the number of military absentee ballots and the heavy Republican enrollment in the district, it is unlikely that Scott Murphy will prevail.

Murphy Wins Indy Line Battle

From the New York Daily News

Murphy Wins Indy Line Battle (Updated)

March 1, 2009

In a setback to Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco's congressional bid, Democratic newcomer Scott Murphy has landed the Independence Party line in the 20th CD battle after furious lobbying by both sides, Indy insiders said.

Both Murphy and Tedisco interviewed for the line (Row C), but state party officials, who control the endorsement because the district crosses multiple county lines, voted unanimously to back Murphy.

UPDATE: Adding to the significance of this decision: It's the first time the line has gone to a Democrat in the 20th CD.

State Independence Party Chairman Frank MacKay said what swayed things for Murphy was the fact that he is "really from outside the political landscape," adding: "He's an entrepreneur, and someone who I think will bring a lot to Washington if he gets there."

"It's certainly not a slight to Jim Tedisco," MacKay said. "We like him. He's a friend. But we're really excited and proud to be supporting Scott Murphy."

Tedisco has run with the Independence Party line in every assembly election since the party's creation (it received official ballot status after Tom Golisano's first gubernatorial bid in 1994).

The endorsement decision, which was made yesterday, is the culmination of a fiercely fought lobbying battle that took place largely behind the scenes.

Gov. David Paterson and Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith pushed hard for Murphy, party insiders said, while the Republican case was made by everyone from RNC Chairman Michael Steele to former Rep. Tom Reynolds, who used to head the NRCC.

The Independence line could be a make-or-break factor in the district, where there are 196,118 enrolled Republicans, 125,486 Democrats and 118,364 "blanks."

In 2006, Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand and then-GOP Rep. John Sweeney fought in court over the Indy line, with Sweeney coming out the victor. Even with Row C, he still lost in the general election.

In 2008, the Indy line went to Gillibrand's GOP challenger, Sandy Treadwell, who received 8,024 votes on it. Despite the fact that Treadwell had three lines (GOP, Indy and Conservative) to Gillibrand's two (Democrat and WFP), she won handily - 193,651 to 118,013. Barack Obama carried the district, too. (This paragraph is corrected).

The full court press by both the Democrats and Republicans for the Independence line this year is yet another sign of the importance of the 20th CD race.

National GOP leaders view the March 31 special election as a must-win that will signal a turnaround for their beleaguered party.

On the other side of the aisle, it's in Paterson's best interest to help Murphy after angering House Democratic leaders by plucking former Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand from relative obscurity to fill Hillary Clinton's US Senate seat and creating a vacancy in a difficult-to-defend GOP-dominated district.

Last week, the Siena NY poll showed Tedisco leading Murphy, 46-34, with 45 percent of independent voters saying they would be willing to vote for Tedisco on the GOP line.

Clawback political contributions

There has been a lot of talk about clawbacks for people who received money from Bernard Madoff. I think that we should clawback some of his political contributions. Specifically the $25,000 contribution to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Scroll through his list of contributions.... you'll see Chuckie Schumer's name A LOT. About 90% of Madoff's political buddies are Dems. This guy was handing out political contributions like Mike Hein hands out $100,000 Deputy County Executive positions. Must be nice to be a Dem.
