Bove is Back!

[be true to yourself]

According to this Monday's agenda...

Councilwoman Bove re Support for director of Burchfield Nature & Art Center

I heard rumors that CB is finally throwing off the shackles of Mark Schroeder and going back to voting with her heart.

This Monday she will pledge the support of the Town Grant Writer to help build back the Burchfield Foundation.

A first step in ridding the town of Americorps, which she apparently now admits was a mistake on her part! She may also ask for a termination of their lease and use of the BNAC.

Time to support Mrs. Bove and join with her in ridding this town of ML once and for all.

Thank you, CB. Welcome back! We missed you!

if it's true i hope more follow her leadership. we need someone in the assembly to do more than kissing ass. mark only knows how to spend pork and suck up. he always has a story to go with every question he's asked. instead of giving a yes or no, mark gives a good song and dance without an answer.

I was beginning to lose hope that CB would ever see the forest through the trees, but it looks like she has finally seen the light! Maybe being free of the politicans who have held her down for soooo long has brought her to her senses. Its a new day for Burchfield and hopefully it will become the jewel of Ebenezer once more!

[Tree_hugger29]

see the forest through the trees,

what else is there in a forest but trees? say it like you mean it. someone is seeing through the bull **** of mark schroeder.

[GhostofCharles]

My god is this for real? I was never that big of a supporter of Bove, but if she is willing to stand up for all the non sense that has gone on for the past year, I say let's show her all the support we can.

Wouldn't it almost be weird to see Bove and Piotrowski vote in unison?

I have a feeling Monday Night could be one of the biggest Town Board Meetings in recent history. Burchfield, the Town Attorney's....

I saw in the WS Bee that there is also a Public Work Session on the Burchfield Nature and Art Center. Could it be that the right thing will finally be done and the attention and support the Burchfield should have had all along will finally be pledged?

[Tree_hugger29]

ghost, anyone willing to shake the dust off from schroeder is worth supporting. :-)

Councilwoman Bove re Support for director of Burchfield Nature & Art Center

The WS town funding for director was ended with the Andrew's quitting a half dozen times. The new director Mark Carra (?) is not funded through the town, and the bank account funding his pay will soon run out. Why MC could not have picked up Andrew's pay line I do not understand.

This Monday she will pledge the support of the Town Grant Writer to help build back the Burchfield Foundation.

This might be a nice gesture, but hardly is hard support for this find and popular part of the town.

This is a nice thought, but kind of silly in that Americorp pays for the bond issue which was never voted for by the town voters. They pay about five thousand dollars a month in rent to cover the bond. I do not see how you could evict Americorp without a funding source for the remaining bond issue.

As far as the space in the town is concerned, the logical thing would be to help out the Catholic Church and take over the Catherine of Siena building for the police department leaving the jail at town hall where the courts are. That would free area enough within town hall for the needed extra space. Of course, this would also require a bond issue which might require a general election vote.

What is strange with Mr. Lawson is that he was terminated from the town payroll with in the incoming of WP. One of the first things WP wanted to do away with was the summer youth program run by Mr. Lawson as cheap subsidized baby sitting. Much of the labor involved was volunteered. Presumably, Mr. Lawson can smell the youth director job when/if Americorp splits from the town, but why would Mr. Lawson seem to align with WP? He would seem to me to be at odds with WP which brought an end to Mr. Lawson's employment with the town. You have to follow the money, but I don't understnd his reasoning, except that he may have been promised a job by WP given such and such happen.

Are you ever hoodwinked! Someone has talked in your ear and you're now talking out of your arse! You better hope MR. Lawson doesn't sue your arse, too! I think you are way off in this post- do your homework and get the facts straight, unless truth and integrity are not your strong suit!

Strange talk for commentary on a political board and by a 'lady'. Political motivation is fair game for speculation, as is performance in case you never guessed.

You weren't speculating, and it wasn't political speculation when you made statements about Mr. Lawson's employment. There you made your mistake, and it speaks to maligning and defamation of Mr. Lawson. Read your post- pay more attention.

[dtwarren]

Since Mr. Lawson announced his candidacy for public office he became a public figure and therefore the statements made about him in this context are guided by the more liberal standard accorded to political speech and he cannot recover unless he proves that the statement was made with "actual malice" -- that is, with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not. The Constitution, which protects "vehement, caustic and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks" in a political context, does not insist on complete verbal precision. Even if a statement about a public figure is incorrect so long as the speaker or writer believes that it is true it is protected speech. The only remedy public figures have in such instances is to develop a thicker skin and to set the record straight.

Manny,

I would like you to show me where the payments on the bond are made from Americorps. There has been no proof that anything has been paid for the building from Americorps. You throw all these facts around but most of them are untrue. You make people think that you are on top of these issues but all you produce are facts supplied to you by ML. And everyone knows he can't tell a fact from fiction! His article in the Bee was made up of more lies than anything I have ever read. And where do you get the idea that Mr. Lawson was terminated? Did he or the town tell you that? Probably not, because its untrue. Stop having ML give you the info that you write on this blog because it makes you look stupid!

Oh Snow,

Talking to the dwarfs again are you? 'Telling fact from fiction' is funny coming from someone who calls herself 'SnowWhite'. HEHEHE. Funny how you WP supporters can speculate all you wish about ML, but foam at the mouth at speculation at WP or his supporters Jarczyk and Lawson. My speculation is that which motivates most posters here, including you, is money (jobs), with the public good and saving taxes a distant second.

BTW, no I do not get information from Mark. Town government comes up in daily conversations all the time. Opinions are like A-holes, everyone has one.

Like always, you side step the job I asked you to do. Show proof that Americorps paid money toward the bond. Do a FOIL and come up with the documents to show what you say is true. You never address the issue at hand, but always give snide remarks to take away from the real issue. And I don't for one minute believe that the info you spout is from daily conversations with your patients. This is truly ML talking his rubbish. Too bad you can't form your own opinions and have to run to Marky for back up on what is written here.

[Niagara]

Why should I do any 'job' you ask me to do? How ridiculous is that? I know what the origional agreement was between the town and Americorp, and trust our town government to see that it happens.

It is too bad about your fallout with Mark and that you are so bitter, or else you could ask him yourself. Indeed, many who I see during a week are town, county and state employees, past and present. Many have the direct insight you also claim to have, and my information is that not all is peachy in Wally's World. Go ahead and don't believe me, you live in Fantasy Land already anyway.
