Interference #1 "objection of the chief of police"
Interference #2 "over the objection of the chief of police"
Interference #3 "But the chief did not recomment him"
Charges Squashed By Mertz "Hamilton acknowledged bowing to Mertz's wishes"
Chief Hamilton definately is the problem here. Chief Hamilton is the Interference. Chief Hamilton needs replacing. Notice the UNION emblem in the address box under Schenectady, NY 12301 The RPD is seeking a puppet like Cooke to negotiate their union contract in 2008. RPD is the special interest group of the Rotterdam Conservative Party. DON'T BUY INTO THIS BULLSH**!
I agree. Who in the hell is the Chief of Police to think he is to recommend who to hire and who to promote! That is a job for the politicians. They are the experts. They are the elected officials. They were elected for a reason by the people and for the people. They run the police department- not a chief. The Chief should do as he is told...
And I am not sure I get the point about the union label. It is an Allied Printing label which just means the dems had a printing company that employs union workers print the thing. Do you think that the police union is working with the printer's union to overthrow the republicans?
As far as the union contract- if Cooke wins- that means he has total say about the union contract and the Town Board plays no part in ratifying the contract??? That isnt how it is in my city- that doesent sound right...

Are you serious??? That is the best you can do?? Once again these wrongdoings are laid right out in the open, and instead of acknowledging what happened, people like PoliticalIncorrect are trying to hide the truth
That's what the cops are rolling out in efforts to defeat Tommasone? Cops really must think that highly of themselves if they think that this year old retoric is going to tarnish the record of the Tommasone and the republican majority. The fact that this board hired more officers and even promoted officers, all without raising Rotterdams taxes should be viewed as a positive for Tommasone and this administration.
I believe the facts for interference #1 are in question. $80,000 seems a bit inflated as to the cost of the academy and on the job training. At the last board meeting they discussed the hiring of officer Amoroso from another police department at $38,000 a year. Billy Cooke pointed out that the town saved approximately $20,000 due to the fact that the town didn't have to send him to the academy. So by filling that position with officer Amoroso, an already trained officer, the town recouped its loses from Signore's transfer. Good job town board.
Interference #2 is a funny one. The promotion of a former town board candidates son-in-law. That sounds like one of those he got promoted because he was my brothers, cousins, sisters, mothers, half-sisters, aunts, step brothers, son. Ya gotta really connect the dots on this on.
Interference #3 is pretty good also. Life long registered democrat John Denny, running for town board as a republican. Only after being denied the endorsment from the democrat party, and failing to capture the democrat party line in the primary, recieved a political favor from Tommasone to get his nephew promoted. Officer Robert Denny, 20+ year vetran, and former PBA president used a political favor to get promoted by calling upon his uncle who has been a registered republican for all of 1 year.
Rotterdam coppers, ya gotta realize that you don't run this town anymore. I know it's a hard pill to swallow. The fact that there is an authority higher than you to keep you in check sucks. BTW.....Good luck in the contract negotiations.
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are. ~ H.L. Mencken
Remember,,,,,just because somebody has a (R) next to their name, they don't get a free pass from the scrutiny.
Jack Denny had a (D) next to his name for many years. Now he has an (R). He seem to be a political party patsy.
I agree. I am truly having a hard time deciding for the upcoming election. I have talked to Mr. Tommasone many times and Mr. Della Villa a few. He sheds some light on some things. As far as Denny? Well, let's put it this way, if things kep going how they are, I'll walk into the voting booth asking myself, which Democrat do I want to vote for, or do I just want to place 1 vote for the Republican line, since that's the only place I know for sure I will find Mr. Della Villa. I guess I'll let the rest of the town pick the bst of the worst. I refuse to vote for a wolf...whether he's in his own clothes or not (that would be a wolf in sheep's clothing for those that are a little slow on the pickup tonight, as I feel).
I also "Educate".,,,,,It's recess Bum,,,,,go to your function, suck down a hot dog and a yoohoo and hurry back. Class is in session.
I just wonder, is the teacher going to be from a right-wing or left-wing college? Is there such a thing as a right-wing college? Or will the "teacher" raise/lower himself to the ones at the head of the class, such as Jeff Foxworthy's "higher" status nowadays?
Guess we'll see...
Time to get taken to school...

That is not a quote from me, I believe it is a quote from Mars.

Some interesting ideas, Cicero. Keep us updated.

...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Well, so this is what you all ment by the so called 'smoking gun'. I never received this in the mail, really! And as Cicero, it made me chuckle to think that this very old and over discussed topic is just that. OLD NEWS! And nobody really gives a hoot.
Those poor, pathetic Rotterdam Police all jumped on the conservative band wagon in hopes of railroading this election because of their up and coming union negotiations. You'se all became the Rotterdam conservative's little special interest group that has the REAL TRADITIONAL conservatives pissed off! The RPD DOES NOT have the backing of all the conservatives when they get in the voting booth. And there are MANY dems out there that approve of Mr. Tommasone and the majority.
So, low and behold, Rotterdam has many more important issues at hand than the Rotterdam Police Department's contract. The RPD and their contract negotiations are really on the bottom of the list of importance in Rotterdam. And I believe that Cicero, very factually, blew the 'interference' theory right out of the water. Good job Cicero and good job Mr. Tommasone, Mr. Mertz and Mr. Signore!!!
But you will propagate union views and partisanship/pandering for the sake of the few???
Senders, (I hate posting with the intelectually challanged but here goes) the cops are spoiled and overpaid, I have no use for them or their union. I have said that adnauseum. With THAT being said,,,,Their are certain absolutes in the current equation that you and yours are either incapable or unwilling to comprehend. If it is true that the police control the conservative party, Then the Republican party in the town of Rotterdam is doomed. Its simple math. The minor party endorsements influence elections and in alot of cases WIN elections. You are Republicans.....THEY ARE CONSERVATIVES,,,,,ARE YOU PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR MINDS???!!! It defies all logic why you would attack a minor party that you NEED. Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face. Talk about not seeing the forrest through the trees....LOL.......Do the math, There are roughly 1300 registered conservatives in Rotterdam. There are more registered conservatives in Rotterdam THAN THE ENTIRE CITY OF SCHENECTADY. (and its not even close) As a general rule Independents go to Dems. Conservatives go to Reps. NOT IN ROTTERDAM! In Rotterdam,,,,The Reps. ATTACK the conservatives. This is why we need new leadership in the Republican Party. There is no vision. There is no "big picture" thinking. If I was a democrat I would be laughing my a** off watching you battle with a minor party you should OWN. The Power hungry Dems. control the ENTIRE COUNTY. Not just Schenectady,,,,,,,,,,They control Nisk, and Glenville as well. The only Thing the Reps. control in the county is Rotterdam and look what you are doing. But don't mind me,,,There are surely cops on this site, I can see that. And there are also Republican officials here,,,,,Maybe,,,Just maybe,,, you two MORONS should get on the same page. If not? The Reps are done in this county. Nice job guys. Not alot of Mensa candidtaes in this group.
again,,,,, Clowns to the left of me,,,,,,,,Jokers to the right Mars in the middle again. Mars teaches, sees and explains to all denominations.
The true conservatives in the Conservative Party have lost control of their party and they're just as unhappy with what's happened to their party as the Reps and some of the Dems.
