. . .Returning Government to the People, One Town at a Time

Just a Few More Days

We are now in the last week before election. First, the following item is the final letter-to-the editor for this election season:

Just a Few More Days
As a short response to Chris Allen’s letter-to-the-editor, I admit to praising him during his first few months in office, as I honestly believed he was doing a good job. However, it didn’t take long to realize that I was wrong. Apparently he has either suffered a loss of memory, or just plain lies about our conversation ...either way I will not waste time or space responding to his general denials, but I will respond to the denial about Senator Amedore. Not only did he say these things, but he also said them many times and in the presence of many witnesses, including town officials. As to his arrest for assaulting a female or his erratic behavioral issues, he will be judged in a court of law. Enough said about this man.
More importantly, in just a few more days, voters will head to the polls to vote for the candidates of their choice.
If you are happy with the town officials and the status quo, then by all means vote for them. However, if you’re tired of high taxes, out-of-control spending, the handing out of big raises, hiring personnel for political gain, and hidden agendas, there is another way: vote them out of office.
The time has come for change. It’s time to give the boot to the big spenders who control the purse—enough is enough! It’s time to elect responsible individuals who will put the people’s pocketbooks and their rights first before their own personal agendas. It’s time for candidates who will be informed voters; candidates who will make sure the public is well informed on any and all issues that come before it; prudent candidates who will watch every penny spent as though it were their own; candidates who will listen to you, the people, before
making their decisions; and candidates willing to bite the bullet when necessary to avoid the out-of-control spending that has become the norm.
The town board has been controlled by a liberal majority long enough; it’s time for people to take our town back and put a stop to their big spending. Taxpayers have a golden opportunity to take back control of the over-spending by supporting the Republican-Conservative team on November 3rd.

I urge voters to get the vote out and support: Gaetana Ciarlante for town supervisor; Allyson Barbaria and Dan Ellsworth to the town board; Doug Myer for highway superintendent; and Mary Wawro for District 1 legislator, Angie Minew for District 2 legislator and Dean Fabiano for District 3 legislator.

Polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Tuesday November 3rd.
