holtz has to go... mary retire to fl and collect your pension...

Holtz is already collecting a pension when she retired as town clerk. So when she retires as supervisor she will be collecting two pensions

She will be collecting just the one $62,069 pension that she is collecting now. She is not contributing to her pension in her position as supervisor.

They don't have to run themselves - but they do have to do more than flap their lips on SUWNY. They need to find a candidate they like (or just a non-incumbent if they can't find one they like), then join their campaign - contribute money if you have it, contribute time if you have it, but do something more than rah rah from the sidelines.

One of the most valuable things you can do for a candidate is take the candidate or his or her flyers door to door in your neighborhood. Won't cost you a penny - just your time. Much more effective then a flyer delivered by the mail. Even knocking on doors in other neighborhoods is more effective then a flyer delivered by mail.

With a contribution of time or money or both you can turn your one vote into 100's or 1000's. It isn't rocket science. But it is work.

I don't think people realize how many of Cheektowaga's key elected players are up for election in 2015.

This is the year VOTERS can change the political landscape in Cheektowaga.

From the friends and family "D" club to people who will work for the Businesses and Residents of OUR town.


We need a plan...

As citizens we need to find quality candidates and get them elected!

The time for change has begun!

He's 100% correct. Also get the word out on the current crop of board members are up to.

It's harder than you think. The Cheektowaga Democratic Party has an extensive hold on our town.

The democratic party has the support of a majority of voters. As long as you keep blaming a party for the outcome of an election instead of focusing on the voters, you are forever doomed to be unsatisfied with the outcome.

How long has Diane been a democrat?

Wrong. The Cheektowaga Democratic Party (THEY ARE THE VOTERS) of that party have an extensive hold on our town.

I don't know what she joined that social club

I know what you mean though.

If someone wanted the best chance to be head baby sitter for our town (supervisor) they would have a better shot of winning that
seat if they registered into the Democratic Party instead of running under the IP party. Even if they were running on the very same campaign slogans. The original Cheektowaga Democratic Party did a real
good job at convincing people to only pull the (D) lever come election time.

I am a registered voter and unaffiliated with any political party. I didn't used to be. But have been for the past couple years. Because none of the current parties agendas impress me.

I dare everyone to join me. Get ahold of The Board of elections and change it!

I vote for who I think will do the best for the people not just myself ...I could care less when I am voting what their political affiliation is.

Not being a member of a party does nothing but eliminate your ability to have a say as to who will be the candidate for a party. You have diluted your voting power, not enhanced it, by not joining a party.

She will be collecting just the one $62,069 pension that she is collecting now. She is not contributing to her pension in her position as supervisor.

Maybe she just collects one pension now - she should also be eligible for a tax deferred compensation program - which means she can dump her Town salary(up to legal limits) into a deferred comp program. This means she pays no tax on the money deposited - so her check is tax funded - then she avoids paying her share of income taxes by putting it into her "Defered Comp Account".

She doesn't have to "Pay into" her Towns pension to gain usuable credits(last I knew, may have changed) - but she will still be able to combine her final income to increase her final/total tax funded retirement check.

Theres a bunch of loopwholes they use - most taxpayers have no idea how many things these people qualify for. Until someone makes it public - and none of them are in any hurry to - they just act like they are "Serving the public"

One guy I knew used to say - "I only get about $250. a week" - then we broke it down - he went to 2 meetings a month - the meetings were for two hours or less - so he was receiving $500.00 for 2 hours or $250. an hour.

Then we found out he got full healthcare - full prescription plan - Aflac insurance and credits for a NYS Tax Funded pension because they claimed he qualified as a Part Time Employee. The Town put him in as working 19 hours a week.

So break that down - $250.00 a week divided by 19 = $13. dollars an hour(+/-) - I guess that doesn't look like much. Then throw in cost of pension, healthcare, lost income taxes(because of deferred Comp) - well you get the idea !

And remember that's just one - less than part time Party Playin public servant. Now imagine how much the big boys are rippin !

But those community minded Players are doing it all because they love their Town/Village and so on - BULLSHEETS

Of course not everyone gets what your friend got. And deferred comp means deferred tax, not no tax. And at $250/ hour he must be a plumber or something.
