When I started this blog and started watching County Politics, I didn't have a "favorite team", but I'm quickly becoming un- impressed by candidate Mike Hein.Just 3 days again, I called for Mike Hein to stop spending so much time campaigning and trying to smear his opponent and demanded that he get this years budget into the hands of our Ulster County Legislators. This is important taxpayer business that needs to be attended to and will affect everyone who lives in Ulster County.
Apparently, in addition to not being able to do the people's work for which he is paid to do by the taxpayers of Ulster County, he is also not able to do his own campaign work that is required by the NYS Board of Elections.
Yesterday, Friday, October 3, campaign financial disclosures were required to be filed by candidates. Mike Hein's are still not posted as of today. Need proof? I saved you the time of going to the Board of Elections website and took a screen shot for you, next to my calendar page.
If Mr. Hein had filed, you would see the 32 day pre general election report. It's not there.
Mike Hein has already requested the Legislators to let him be late with our County Budget. He is paid...... every week by the way...... with our taxpayer dollars in his appointed position as County Administrator to do this.
Imagine if you had a job where you were paid to get something done (like a budget), and you spent all your time running a political campaign and couldn't finish your work at your regular job. Your boss would fire you.
Mr. Hein needs to stop the campaigning (like just last night) and the smearing his opponent until he gets his work done, that he is paid to do by the Ulster County Taxpayers.
We need to see our Ulster County Budget AND his financial disclosures.
A friend of mine told me that last night, instead of staying at home and working on both of these, that Mike Hein was out schmoozing with his Kingston good-ole-boy friends at the Ulster County Community College Gala at the Hillside. Does this guy want to work and serve the taxpayers of Ulster County, or does he want to party with the good-old-boys?

I would say he wants to party AND GOLF with the good old boys... work? not so much so
Just like IndyUlster, I too didn't have a favorite team at the beginning of all this...however, my views had changed once I saw just how Heins camp likes to play ball. Whatever happened to a fair fight? Running on your own merits, selling yourself, without the mudslinging...oh yeah, this is politics. Pretty funny how we all live in the middle of bumf**k, and this is what goes on. I can only imagine what happens on the national level, geesh!
I am more concerned about Hein getting the budget for the County done. I read on Cahill's blog, that Hein may be asking for an extension until after the election.
What is this guy doing?
well maybe if he was working on it rather than campaigning on the taxpayers dollars it would have been on time
Excuse me, but since when is supporting scholarship programs at the community college wasting time with the good old boys? By the way, the republican candidates, Robin Yess, James Quigley and Len Bernardo were all there as well, I guess they are good old boys as well!
Bernardo, Quigley and Yess will never have to worry about getting a budget done on time so it is ok that they were there.
