The "Clean Break" Ballot
Here's the sample ballot for November 3rd. EG1st is on Row I at the bottom. There are literally "millions" of reasons not to return either major party "machine" to power in East Greenbush. Those millions are out of our pockets and into theirs. Time to put a stop to the sleaze and the inside deals and the nepotism and the patronage and the favoritism. Time for some honest and transparent government. Take a look at the ballot and remember it. Some of the reasons for voting EG1st are in the following link and in the letters from yesterday's Advertiser.

Gadfly, thanks for posting all this good stuff. Regarding the sample ballot, folks can feel comfortable bringing a copy of the ballot into the booth for reference. It is allowed and might be convenient for some people. They can copy it from here or from East Greenbush First on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThe Town of East Greenbush certainly needs a "clean break" from the political parties. I once again checked the NYS Board of Elections Website to see if the required Financial Disclosure Statements were submitted by the East Greenbush Republican Committee. They have not. The East Greenbush Republicans have refused to file the last three Financial Disclosure Statements. What are they trying to hide?
ReplyDeleteWhat say you East Greenbush Republicans? Or more specifically, What say you, EG Republican Party Treasurer, Sean Mulvey?
There are sanctions available via the court system for failure to file disclosures. I'm about ready. I e-mailed Mulvey about the reports, but I haven't had a response.
Delete630pm Gadfly,
DeleteJust curious. Have you heard back from East Greenbush GOP Treasurer Sean Mulvey yet?
Haven't heard from him. I sent an e-mail on the morning of the 7th, but no response.
DeleteThat's a fine-looking ballot, and it's so easy to find EG1st's candidates -- just head straight for the bottom, bypassing all the same-old candidates running on multiple party lines in an attempt to gather more votes. It's time for that little trick to backfire (hey, I'm starting to sound just like my friend The Gadfly!). "Bottoms up" on November 3rd, fellow voters! And may the best trio win.
ReplyDeleteThe EG money pit is MORE than a bit worrisome. I live on a fixed income so I really need to know what my bill will be but I also don't want to know. It's a conundrum. If the plant will be done next month, how come we don't know what our bill will be? Will that be sprung on us too like the casino?
ReplyDelete6:36pm:
DeleteYou are correct. The Langley plan is to spring it on us just like the casino. That's how he rolls. There is no questions allowed by His Royal Highness, Keith Langley.
Looks like Talks has gone off the grid. Can't have their usual gargbage out there, I guess.
ReplyDelete7:25 p.m. That's because Pete Stenson and Dave VanWormer run Talks but they don't want to be tagged with the viciousness of it while they're running for office...suddenly they're angels? In truth, DVW is one of the angriest, most bitter former town employees going. He's bitter about losing his little fiefdom at the highway garage with only a year to go before he's eligible for a town pension (arghhh!) If DVW wins, it will be the same thing as putting his former brother-in-law Rick McCabe back in office. McCabe is licking his chops over the prospect of becoming defacto supervisor. It's Halloween-scary to think that we're THIS close to seeing McCabe return to town hall as Deputy Supervisor. Of course, Langley has been hosting McCabe in his office since he was elected in 2012, which is something that has baffled good republicans for years now. Langley was/is another inexperienced, political neophyte who couldn't believe it actually happened when he won, so he used the guy he defeated (huh?) like a mentor...brilliant (not!). Now, the guy who brought us Keith Langley (i.e. C.DeF) is trying to get his future son-in-law (Trent Tibbits) installed on the town board. Can anyone see C.DeF in a high-paying town job if Keith, Trent and Larry win? It's a fiasco. Folks, whether it's Langley or VanWormer elected on 11/3, the town cannot take four more years of politics in place of leadership. That's why we have to band together and vote for Jack Conway for supervisor. I'm voting for Jack for all the reasons mentioned on their website (EG1st.org). And while I'm at it, I'll vote for Tina Tierney and Tom Grant, too. They will be a loud and persistent voice FOR the people. We desperately need intelligent, experienced, PROFESSIONAL people like Jack, Tina and Tom on the town board. Please MARK YOUR CALENDAR on November 3 and VOTE!
DeleteWords of encouragement for EG1st candidates to keep up the good work!!! Neighbors have received their message as well as guidance on how to find their spots on the ballot - sounds simple but incredibly important so folks REMEMBER where to vote. Need to get so many people out to vote its incredible - the political parties will make a huge push to get their connected friends out as they NEED power to continue controlling this town and their finances. Interesting that Hart and Fiacco properties have building violations that aren't being addressed by the Langley administration and they are funding his campaign??? Even Donald Trump acknowledged that you give money to Politicians so you can call them for favors later. Langley looks to be doing favors NOW to collect cash now. Wonder why TU hasn't looked into the lack of campaign fillings. Same old story with Langley - just "trust" him that the finances are fine... Anyway, make sure you talk to your friends and family to vote EG1st and that they talk to their friends and family and that they talk to their friends and family. Need to grow the EG1st family tree and once and for all put the Town of East Greenbush first and establish a true Democracy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like both the Reps and Dems have tax delinquency problems on their slates. This one looks like a foreclosure proceeding:

Some more encouraging words for EG 1st. Tina and Tom came by my house today. We had a very nice chat. They always had my vote, but I was wonderful to see once again firsthand how well they work together as a team!!!
ReplyDeleteVote for Tina and Tom!!!
Has any one FOIL'd the Emergency Order? According to NY Code - Section 24: Local state of emergency; local emergency orders by chief executive (Google it) the emergency order automatically ends after 5 days. Reading the law as well as this article: INFORMATION FOR LOCAL CHIEF EXECUTIVES REGARDING
ReplyDeleteDECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND ISSUING EMERGENCY
ORDERS I question whether it was a legal declaration anyway. According to legal guidance provided by Department of State, the emergency should have been declared to "protect public safety" yet our treatment plant has overflowed into the river numerous times the past ten years with no such declaration (as does Rensselaer, Troy, Albany, Mechanicville, etc.). It also states "A local state of emergency can be issued only when a situation exists that has or will place the public at risk and that will require extraordinary measures for proper protection" note the word AND here which is important. I don't believe the Terriblevisors lack of personal skills to work with the Town Board meets the definition of extraordinary measures. This "emergency" simply needed to be a change of contract with the contractor already on site to stabilize the construction work (probably part of their contract already). Something does smell right here (like usual). And no, I cannot take this to the proper authorities (sorry) but I'm doing my part to show someone that hopefully has no ramifications having their name attached to a complaint the possible path to make this all right. Lets put EG 1st!!!!!!!
Mr. VanWormer wants me to remove the comment related to the tax delinquency. I don't post stuff like this without documentation. Here's the documentation from Rensselaer County. His problem is with the County, not with the Gadfly.
ReplyDeletehttp://s3.amazonaws.com/ownlocal.adforge.production/ads/1969782/original_pdfs.PDF?1434640626
Typical for EG. The people who have always run for office have always thought they can do things their way without accountability. If EG doesn't have a credit rating, how can we elect a supervisor who doesn't think it is important to pay property taxes? Same for Lenartz.
DeleteIt's there alright. Under City of Rensselaer, see # 45. A candidate for elective office should have to be in good standing with the law. If he isn't current on his taxes, how can he require others to be in his role as supervisor? This is just more dirt on Mr. Van WORM er. There's plenty more where that came from.
DeleteJack, Tina, Tom 2015 and beyond!
In case you are interesred, that is a document from May, as it is dated, and the taxes have been paid. If they haven't been paid, it would have appeared in the paper the other day. Thanks
DeleteCould very well be a mistake, but documents dating back to 2012 show a delinquency. Can't imagine that this is the first he heard of it either way. Not good DVM, not good.
DeleteThe Troy Record shows on July 8th of this year a foreclosure proceeding in County Court related to the tax arrears:

Dave 9:55 AM's point is valid. In any event, I'm much more concerned with the the EG Rep. Committee's blatant refusal to file their required Financial Disclosure Documents with the State Board of Elections. Republican candidates Langley, Carlock, Engel, Lenartz and Tibbitts should be demanding that EG Rep Treasurer, Sean Mulvey, file those financial statements.
DeleteThe big question is- Are Langley and his "team" hiding something? Or are they just plain incompetent?
Vote AGAINST the Langley "team" on November 3rd.
Mr. VanWormer, you have some big nerve running for town supervisor. Is that the extent to which you care about your home town? EG has SERIOUS, COMPLICATED problems on many levels, mostly financial. Do you really think YOU are the man to solve these problems? You and your ilk helped a ton to create the problems, certainly not to solve them. Do you really think anyone believes your intention isn't to bring back Rick McCabe and the dem machine business as usual partisan-insider shenanigans? WHAT in your background do you think qualifies you anymore than Langley to run a town of over 16,000 people? Name one thing. If your party cared a wit about EG, they would have run Andrea Smyth for supervisor, certainly not you.
DeleteWill tomorrow be the day East Greenbush Republican Committee Treasurer, Sean Mulvey decides to file any of the four overdue Financial Disclosure Forms with the NYS Board of Elections?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you and your EG Republican "leaders" trying to hide?
Probably the whopping big contribution from Casino Jim Featherstonehaugh. Someone oughta get the Times Union to investigate.
DeleteGo Tina and Tom!! Both of them rang our doorbell yesterday. We live on Elliot Road. Not only do we support them we also had a good laugh filled conversation. We like people with a good sense of humor. We immediately felt comfortable with them. We will be voting for them.
ReplyDelete9:48 a.m. Jack, Tina and Tom are extremely likeable people and as smart as they are delightful. They are the complete package. You are an excellent judge of character!
Delete10:55 AM,
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Jack so I'll have to take your word for it. I couldn't agree more with you that both Tina and Tom are the complete package. They are very strong communicators and extremely knowledgeable about the problems facing East Greenbush. They are also willing and able to answer questions about their short term and long term solutions to those problems.
For years people have endured personal attacks on all of the blogs. This year is the same. Some people feel it is necessary to attack and try to embarrass anyone that they disagree with.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with supporting your candidate in a positive and respectful manner instead of all of the nasty negatives that has gone along with the politics in this town? It truly sickens me to see how people behave, what they post, and that they do it under of Anonymous. It surprises me that nobody has come forward to condemn the way some people think that if they attack others and put their personal information on a blog, that it helps their candidate. Let me tell you - it turns more people off than you think Vote for who you choose but don''t try to destroy someone else to get your candidate elected.
The Gadfly supports Jack, Tina, and Tom - everyone knows that and they are all good people. If they win, I'm willing to bet it's because people like their ideas and visions - and that is how they want to win - not by slandering their opponents. If they lose, I am equally sure that they will congratulate whoever wins and offer their support and help. That's the way it should be!
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one, Joe. The information put on the Gadfly was no more anonymous than when it was posted on the Rensselaer County website, the Troy Record or the TU - from which it was taken. Nobody here is sneaking around in a trench coat taking pictures at night of nefarious behavior. We reported what our government reported. That's not slander or libel. And I didn't put it up until I had confirmed the material on the web and in the paper. So nobody snuck around to put personal information on a blog.
DeleteThis is an important election in East Greenbush. Hillary's e-mails are fair game on the national scene. In larger elections, candidates publish their tax returns. How somebody has performed in business activities has some importance related to how they would perform with the fiduciary responsibilities which come with municipal office. And we've had a lot of irresponsibility in that department - stipends, Plat approvals, road paving and illegal benefits and all that.
I agree, this is a matter of public record. The record of delinquency goes back a few years. While it's not the end of the world and it doesn't make someone a bad person, one has to question if they want someone who doesn't have their own finances under cobteol to manage their already mismanaged town's finances.
DeleteAbsolutely right, Gadfly. All's fair in love and war and when it comes to elections, especially in East Greenbush, it's war. Why does it have to be that way? Because you have good intentioned candidates vs bad intentioned candidates running for office. You have the old style, machine insider-politics crowd like Langley and VanWormer who are looking out for themselves vs EG1st candidates who reject their blind-eye approach to the problems that are turning EG into a slum one development project at a time. Your holier than thou attitude is touching, Joe, but you hang with the Dem insiders and you benefited from it when they were in office. I could be wrong about this but my guess is that you will vote for DVW & company on 11/3. This town has suffered enough at the hands of the selfish insiders who seek to suck it dry for their own personal enrichment and gain. We're entitled to be defensive and even a little bitter, too. Sorry if you disagree.
DeleteBy the way, Talks is the king of disparaging blogs in EG. It's been neutered of late only because two of its primary administrators are campaigning for office.
WE can agree to disagree. I still feel a campaign should be run with class.The information that was posted about 2 candidates was for political reasons, you and I as well as many others know it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I vote it will be for who I feel has the best ideas and has the best chance of doing what they say. To bring up politics on a national level-really should we follow their example , no thank you?
You and some of your followers may not believe it but I know many who are sick of the negative politics in this town.Negativity losses votes it doesn't gain them. I wish all the candidates good luck and hope you can all run a fair and honest campaign.
With class, Joe? Was it classy in 2013 when the Bottillo/Vallee campaign run by that punk Phil Malone released a mailer portraying Rick and Mary Ann Matters as wanted criminals? Get real, Joe. This is war. Deal with it or stand back.
DeleteI think it's important to know whether candidates have pair their tax bills. Same for the Town's Department heads and all Town employees.
ReplyDeleteI've also heard that Dave VW paid his tax bill ... has Larry?
Seems to me that the way to settle the matter is to produce evidence that the obligations have been satisfied, not just say so. The obligations were published by the County of Rensselaer. Evidence of satisfaction should be supplied. That would close the loop.
DeleteGadfly,
ReplyDeleteThe East Greenbush Republican Party fundraiser is scheduled for tonight. Will Keith Langley, Kim Carlock, Kevin Engel, Larry Lenartz and Trent Tibbitts ask their Campaign Treasurer, Sean Mulvey, why he has refused to file the last four required Financial Disclosure Forms with the NYS Board of Elections?
Gadfly,
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone in their right mind contribute to the EG Rep. Party if Sean Mulvey refuses to file the Board of Election information? What is Mulvey hiding and who is he hiding it for? I will not be voting for any Rep. candidates this time.
The two comments above display some funny things about "financial disclosure." The County of Rensselaer requires both. With the former (tax liability) shorts are tied in knots when the disclosure is made. With the latter (election contributions) shorts are tied in knots when the disclosure is not made. Go figure. The point its that both disclosures are required by the law. Wasn't financial disclosure the issue that derailed the Ethics Code for so long? Seems to me you can't talk about transparency and accountability without being open and forthcoming about money.The Dems and EG1st should be officially complaining to the Board of Elections about the absence of the Rep reports. There are sanctions which should be sought to force compliance.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't people give Mr. Mulvey a chance to explain himself before an official complaint is filed which could result in Mr. Mulvey having to pay penalties of thousands of dollars.
ReplyDeleteLet's hear what Mr. Mulvey has to say. It could just be a simple oversite.
It's not the first time, our Republican Committee failed to file a disclosure for nearly a year and a half...and operates with a few thousand dollar deficit. https://eastgreenbushtruth.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/todays-advertiser-piece-financial-disclosures/#more-837
DeleteGadfly-
ReplyDeleteWould you give Mr. Mulvey the opportunity to respond on your blog? I'd certainly like to see what he has to say about all this.
Financial disclosure: The State requires employees of a certain grade level and above file a financial disclosure form every year. I know because I had to fill one out. Assets and Liabilities. Both.
ReplyDeleteJoe I agree with you that politics should be conducted without personal attacks based on rumor, innuendo or just plain lies. Pointing out a truth that has already been published on a government website and in a newspaper is not that.
There were certain lies about other candidates' personal lives that have been planted by political operatives in the past and that is just plain wrong.
I believe it is important to know how someone who will be the future CFO of this town conducts their financial business. That is it. If we had the Ethics Law that Jack wanted - with a financial disclosure component - we wouldn't be having this conversation. With the state of the Town's finances in the mess they are in - knowing this information is more important than ever.

In the light of the above comment from yesterday and the assertion by Mr. VanWormer that the levy had been paid, I decided to take a trip to Troy this afternoon to see what I could find out. At the County Clerk's office, the woman behind the counter check her database and stated that the liability was still on the books, but that I could investigate further at Real Property Tax Services in the County Building. This I did. The obligation was paid on September 23, 2015.
Thanks for taking the trip to Troy to research and clarify this, Gadfly.

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
That comment removed on Talks was this:
Donnie doesn't owe the Town $40,000. You must be thinking of Toni Murphy.
Where's the agenda for tonight's Zoning Board meeting??????
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Mr. VanWormer rushed to pay his tax lien just weeks before the election should not give us a warm and fuzzy feeling about him. Furthermore, electing someone to high office just because he was your kids little league coach is just plain shortsighted and foolish. This man has a past that deserves investigation BEFORE we elect him supervisor of our town. But why not save yourself the trouble and play it safe. Vote for Jack, Tina and Tom on 11/3.
ReplyDeleteEnough already with the tax lien. The focus should remain on the EG Rep. Committee's refusal to file their Election Financial Disclosure Reports. This is an issue directly related to the November 3rd Election. Sean Mulvey needs to answer why he as the GOP Treasurer has refused to file these forms. Since he won't/can't respond, the Langley team of Carlock, Engel, Lenartz and Tibbitts should not be trusted to serve in elected office.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Zoning Board agenda from last night's meeting? Anybody know what was on it?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the NYS Board of Elections website, The Friends of Kim Carlock Campaign Committee transferred $1,500 dollars to the East Greenbush Republican Committee. Ms. Carlock followed the law by disclosing this transaction. Why won't EG Republican Treasurer, Sean Mulvey follow the law by the receipt of the $1,500 dollars by the EG Rep. Committee?
ReplyDeleteC'mon Mr. Mulvey. Why won't you follow the law like Ms. Carlock?
Hey, come on everybody.....isn't the "silent blank stare" in the face of a challenge the standard operating behavior of the political machines in this Town? The only real remedy is to throw them out of office.
DeleteI've been thinking all along that the reason the Republican Committee won't file its financials is that they don't want to reveal who has been bankrolling their campaign, like Feathers and the County fat cats. But maybe it's just the opposite reason. The administration has done such a lousy job at governing, maybe DeFruscio and company have been left high and dry by the faithful, and they don't want anybody to know it. The claim of massive debt reduction in the face of Moodys move of EG to the watch list and then off the rating scale makes the current government operation a big joke. Contributing money to that operation would be down right foolish.
ReplyDeleteSo, we have on the Republican front a failed party that has brought our town to a below junk bond status that includes Keith Langley (that should be enough), as well as Larry Lenartz who is behind on taxes. Our Democratic committee includes a man who would be our CFO who was also delinquent on our taxes. Add to all of this a Republican Committee who has time after time failed to file their required financial disclosures and who consistently run on a deficit of thousands of dollars. Yet Mr. Gilbert doesn't think this town needs change, he couldn't be more wrong. Enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteWord out is that CDeF was calling around begging for good repubs to come to the fundraiser last nite. Apparently, the cost of the primary broke the bank and the repubs are broke from this point forward. It's clear that the backers they anticipated don't have their backs and that Langley stands a good chance of losing. However, if Dave VanWormer wins on Nov 3rd, it will be the residents who are the real losers. Let's remember how Langley won in the first place. It was the junk bond status, stipends, and crushing debt under former supervisor Rick McCabe that enabled Keith Langley to slip by him and win the election. If DVW wins, it will be the same as re-electing Rick McCabe. This could break the town's bank as it is close to the breaking point now under "the resolution is the resolution" Langley. Because of the lousy choices on both sides of the aisle, a new path for the town must be forged. Please, please, please VOTE for Jack, Tina and Tom on election day, Tuesday, November 3rd. You will be so glad you did!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that there are very few Republican lawn signs in front of actually occupied houses this year. Might just be another indication of problems in East Greenbush GOP land.
DeleteGadfly, you have posted two possibilities why the EG Republican party has failed to file required financial disclosure statments: 1 they don't want the public to know who gave them money; 2 they have been unsuccessful at raising money and would be embarrassed to disclose that. There is a third possibility: just plain incompetent.
ReplyDeleteWhile there is ample evidence that money has been spent by the Republicans (they said so themselves in the Advertiser) and ample evidence that money is being collected (2 recent fundraisers) they have not filed as required and, therefore, the competence and judgement of the candidates, Langley, Engel, Lenartz, Tibbits and Carlock must be questioned.
jfranco1@nycap.rr.com or troyspin.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThese are two websites to contact Jim Franco who was a Rensselaer County reporter for the Troy Record and is still considered to be a Rensselaer County watchdog. Wouldn't hurt to contact him. He is interested in our troubles.
The sad thing is that had Langley just been reasonable, he would have been able to work with Deb and MA. Instead, he pulled the dictator number on them and has steadfastly refused to relent ever since. Now, Langley is going to try this failed behavior again on Larry Lenartz and young Mr. Tibbitts, who is 20-something years old and brand, spanking new to politics. Lenartz is older and hopefully, if he wins, he will have the courage and strength to be his own man. Tibbitts is not only young, he is the fiance of CDeF's daughter. This puts us in grave danger of him following Langley's lead no matter what. Casino, Trent? Sure, Keith, whatever you want!
ReplyDeleteThe Langley/Lenartz/Tibbitts trio would be detrimental to the town.
The Conway/Tierney/Grant team would be instrumental in saving the town.
The choice is simple and clear.
VOTE Jack/Tina/Tom 2015!
Please, please don't question the competency and judgement of Kim Carlock and Kevin Engel. They are very fine quality and worthwhile people. They have done a wonderful job in their positions! As well as in their personal lives.
ReplyDeleteJust because they are of a political party we have issues with, we don't have to stoop that low.
Liz: I couldn't agree more. That's why Kim and Kevin should be demanding answers from Mr. Mulvey about why the EG Rep. Committee has violated the Election Law regarding financial disclosures.
DeleteLiz, with respect I assert that Kevin and Kim are on the ticket of the Rep team, they benefit from Keith's "coattails", and they are both in a position to straighten this out by going to their party and setting things straight immediately. I agree with you that thus far both of these individuals have been respectable but if they ignore this opportunity to follow the law their collective intergrity must be questioned. Kevin has a particular responsibility as an officer of the court and a sitting Justice to make sure he is sponsored by a reputable committee.
DeleteKeith "coattails"??? More like weights!!
DeleteROFLMBO!!!
Gadfly,
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone paying any attention at all vote for the Keith Langley team?
Can someone please answer that question?
Anyone?
Got me. All you get with that is more DeFruscio "bus driving."
DeleteExcuse me but no one can tell me who I should vote for. I have never been a follower but I am an independent thinker. In my opinion that is one of the problems with voting today.......John Jones said to vote for Jim Smith(and the party will reward you if you do).
ReplyDeleteI will vote for the people that I feel are most qualified
Long ago I grew up to recognize that you don't dislike a person just because someone else does.
Please publish this as I feel it's important.
Liz,
DeleteYou are absolutely right! That is why the third party in EG (eg1st.org) should be considered not just by you, but by every other voter in this town.
It is time to clean up EG!!!
I'm shocked the Advertiser allowed Defruscio back...check out Truth for this weeks EG politics in the Advertiser. It's comical Langley band keeps bragging about how he miraculously reduced our town's debt to under $400k (when in reality it's in the millions) and he kept taxes under the tax cap. Um, pretty sure the "tax cap" wasn't his idea!!!!
ReplyDelete10:09 p.m. As soon as I read the word "irrefutable," I knew CDeF didn't write that article. Look it up, Chris.
ReplyDeleteIt's also noteworthy that ONLY Ed Gilbert has written to the Advertiser thus far to support his hero Keith Langley. Suddenly, CDeF rears up as could be expected but where are the other supporters? Someone? Anyone? Keith is like the Maytag repairman sitting alone waiting for someone to call. I also heard his fundraiser last night got him half a small parking lot of supporters. It's over, Keith.
