Letter: Writer Questions Democrats' Backgrounds

Sun, Oct 23, 2011

Give me a Break! Really, my teeth ache reading this double-barreled salvo of revisionist history and the fanciful résumé of Shwartz & Rossi.

The truth is the gang elected in 2008 operated under a paranoid conviction that the Town council had embezzled or otherwise dematerialized town funds. When their accusations were printed in local media the state of NY comptroller’s office chastised them for offering misleading information to the press. When the final state audit revealed no such felonies or misdemeanors, there was no apology forthcoming.Indeed, their ideologically-driven delusion drove the debacle of the reval that tore this town apart and cost us taxpayers 50,000 plus and any trust in Bob Kuiper, Peter Darby or Carolyn Todd.

 As to the Qualifications of Eve Ann Shwartz-spare me the homespun tale of the humble family Farm. Her fortune was made outside this country by her father. Shwartz built her farm as much as Paris Hilton built a hotel chain. If my words seem harsh or unfair, is it anymore forgivable to trade on the fiction that Shwartz has abilities she doesn’t posssess, in the cynical attempt to garner your vote? The Dems sold us Bob Kuiper, too, pretending his capacities were what they once had been. This tactic is a dedication to power for its own sake, and a betrayal of the public trust. Shwartz is clumsy and erratic, her only consistency being her allegiance to her own self advancement.

Chris Rossi is indeed motivated by compassion, but her enchantment with the fatuous agenda of the green movement almost certainly guarantees future decisions based more on emotion than by logic, more on good intentions than good stewardship of our local economy.

Mr. Pangallo who? How about bringing some experience as a resident to the table? As to Mr. Pangallo having time to attend meetings-attendance at meetings has been no problem for the hometown republican team. Are we to ignore Mr. Kuiper’s Naps and Shwartz’s legendary tardiness? Ohh, My teeth!

Votes for Shwartz, Rossi& Pangallo are not in the best interests of the people of the Town of Hamilton.
