Buchanan letter full of distortions

   This is regarding the Sept. 9 letter, “Past has caught up to present with Rotterdam taxes,” by Schenectady County Republican Chairman Thomas Buchanan. In his usual style, Mr. Buchanan has a collection of untruths and/or distortions.
   First, I was not Democratic chairman in 2003; I assumed that position in 2005. In 2003 I held no position in the Democratic Party. Since I was not a Democratic Party official, you do not have to be a rocket scientist to determine that Mr. Buchanan was being misleading when he said that I used the Republican Party as scare tactics. And that I told the seniors not to worry that the revaluation would cost an average of $1.75 per thousand, that only one-third would go up. And that I helped conceive the “Cooke-Paolino revaluation plan.” In 2003, I had not yet met former supervisor John Paolino and certainly had not discussed revaluation with him.
   I have a lot of friends who are Republicans — and they are good people. It is a shame that they have to be represented by Tom Buchanan. This is nothing more than a shallow and desperate attempt to cover up the inadequacies of the Republican administration in Rotterdam. I never made any of those statements, and Mr. Buchanan knows it.
   I believe in honesty, dedication and loyalty and, if elected, I will represent Rotterdam to the best of my ability using those principles. To my friends in the Republican Party, I say it is time you had a county chairman worthy of you.
WILLIAM COOKE
Rotterdam
The writer is the Democratic candidate for supervisor for Rotterdam.

Buchanan may be a jerk.
But Tommasone is still the best candidate.

I think they are worried about the unions......

Billy, first you have no friends in the Republican Party. And if you do, they are just conservatives.

And as far as Billy's honesty, dedication and loyalty, let's just look at who Billy is pandering to. The conservative copsparty. Bill Cooke's honesty is questionable, Bill Cooke is dedicated to making sure the cops get the contract they want and Bill Cooke's loyalties lie solely with law enforcement/conservs....not with the residents. Not with moving this town forward in a positive, responsible direction.

If Bill Cooke is elected supervisor, Rotterdam will go back to pandering to the land/business owners with no regard of smart development. Bill Cooke will end up being another Brian Stratton. Everyone else will do the work and Bill Cooke will take credit for it. He will clearly be a puppet for the Rotterdam conservative party. Why else does anyone think the conservs endorsed him? Surely not for his conservative views. Bill Cooke will just be used as the vehicle to accomplish what the cops conservs want.

Just got a mailing today with a gun on it.
WOW!!


discuss.................................................................................

Yes.  I got it too.  Something about a smoking gun.  I didnt read it carefully yet, but it looks very negative.  

What the heck are you guys talking about? If you'se are trying to bait....ya gotta do better than that.

I got the smoking gun card and it was put out by the unions.....BTW---it is told to me that Mr.Tommasone and Mr.Hamilton dont like eachother/families and never have......that is real good for the town folk.....is this true who knows and who cares.....get over it boys......

the Hatfields and the McCoys......

someday the unions will be run by the Crips or the Bloods considering the previous owners were of the other immigrant crew.....

Can someone PLEASE speak to senders about all the new medications available.

Don't see a reason to.  

I hope they are legal ones.....

Quoted from senders

I hope they are legal ones.....

In some states, they ALL are

Like San Francisco....??

And this is the reason Rotterdam CAN NOT have Mr. Cooke as the next Supervisor. It will be for the negotiations of the police contract that will start next year. Rotterdam has many more important issues than the stupid cops union contract. And of course we won't leave out Godlewski and Jasenski. If they get elected, Rotterdam might as well kiss their asses good-bye!
