Is it possible either of these two potential candidates want to run for "whatever" seat is available and will still continue to work to bring the vote to downsize to the voters?! E'gads your thick-headed!
You have the Gaughan story mis-represented, but don't let the truth and accuracy get in your way.
It is possible, and that is basically what they each said in the WS Bee article, but the real question is what people believe is more probable.

I know, personally, that both of these men have the highest degree of integrity and will not only represent this community and its resident's concerns and wishes, but will work together on the Town Board to bring unity and efficiency to it- more than has been done with any number of representatives!
It's my hope that we can educate the electorate to just that!
Because service in a VFD counts towards a pension there are rules as to maintaining your status such as training, attendance at meetings, etc. so it is possible. I do not know exactly what, if anything, occurred in this specific matter.

There should not be unity on a legislative body, otherwise there would be no need for for that body and we can just vote in a single person. What we need are representatives from a broad and diverse segments of our community that can publicly debate and reach consensus through compromise based on what their independent judgment dictates is in the best interest of their constituents. This process is meant to be messy and sometimes not nice, but it is this process that our forefathers intended to guide our officials in establishing our public policy.

I think Eugene is his father.
His wife Carol ran for School Board and is currently its president. In 2004 she gave up her seat on the school board and ran against Bove in the Democratic primary for a seat on the town board and lost.

Folks, this is code for Wallace Piotrowski (aka Pigeon/Walsh and crew) want to take over the control of the town of WS one way or another with ol style heavy hand politics. First they claim to want 'efficiency' of government by downsizing, but if that doesn't work, try to defeat the two incumbents with talking heads. Either way it would be a win win for Pigeon, I mean WP with 2-1 or 4-1 majorities. Hopefully the 'education' of the electorate will be seen for what it is(a power grab), the referendum will not be approved, and the incumbents reelected.
As much as I respect and agree with most of your postings, DT, this has got to be the lamest you've posted! What do you mean there should be no unity? Don't confuse unity with some sort of lock-step, blindly agreeing in unison- no, unity as in ability to work together in some manner of harmony and politeness. Four or five members can disagree, but they ought to be able to do so in fair debate and negotiation. What we have is a free-for-all, dis-jointed, vindictive, rude, mean-spirited group of adults acting out more like undisciplined children!
Our forefathers also believed in lynchings, public hangings, martial law, and a host of public behaviors unacceptable in todays society. I'm surprised by the nature of our current board we don't enact those today!
Sorry, DT- I just think you've got this all wrong!
His father is Mark. And yes, it is the same Carol.
So are you going to just make us guess until we get the relationship correct or are you going to come right out and say what it is. Because I am sure you would have said that there was no relationship if there was none.

And I yours, however I still believe your choice in using this word was poor since this is not literature or art your definition of unity as used in this context does not appear in Websters: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/unity

I thought I made it clear: Andy J's father is Mark (the Fireman), not Eugene, and his Mother is Carol (wife of Mark) of the school board. Got it?
lets just say they're all related. all have government jobs. suburban style welfare. fair enough?
