WHO decided to send out an IP party person to sign for democrats?
Who runs the IP party now?
WHY are they collecting signatures in the name of democrats on the cheektowaga town board?
They are taking signatures for county exec also which had some other names I never heard of. ..
I told him point blank it's chris collins and why are you collecting signatures for democrats...
I also asked what party did the other people belong to and he didn't know.
I didn't get an answer.
EVen had a signature sheet with Mary Holtz and the board members. Democrats to the core...
I know Mary loves the town but it's not about that. It's about the cost of living in Cheektowaga.
And when can we replace Jeff as the "Negotiator" for the tax payer. We need someone with a set of balls.
And I didn't sign... Had some IP traitor walking petitions. I hope he reads this.. I told him I'm the guy who runs speakup...
Then Collins has you fooled. For example, he has proposed putting the cost of maintaining the library buildings on the towns. He has put the county roads in Cheektowaga needing repair at the end of the list because the town is mostly democrats. Clarence gets a larger share of the sales tax from the Galleria then Cheektowaga, yet cheektowaga pays all the costs associated with the mall.Quote:

Please be aware that the only IP petitions that are valid have a
committee on vacancies that has the NYS IP Chairman Frank McKay, the
NYS IP Vice Chairman Tom Connolly and the NYS IP Secretary Mr. Bogart.
Some Erie County IP figures are promoting petitions with their own
names on the committee on vacancies. These petitions are unacceptable
to NYS IP that controls all authorizations.

WHo is currently running the local party? There is something most definitely screwed up. Specially seeing they are collecting signatures for the same group of democrats that have over the years caused our taxes to be the highest in the area, isn't that correct?
I think the IP group should be supporting Ted Morton instead of ANY current elected official in my town. Charley is fine though. He has shown me over time where actions were taken to physically save money for the people who live here...
I also heard the new guy running our police department has drastically cut the over time games.
The State party controls the local IP's because of the chaos over the past couple years. Anyone can run for the IP line as long as they get the signatures.Quote:

I asked the gentlemen what party did the people belong to and he said he didn't know. How can you ask for signatures and not know who you are asking for?
These people are all Frank Max supporters. Remember Max controls the town right now, not the board. Democratic Chairman in the town with a lot of power. Untill some republicans start getting elected this will be a high taxed town run by a sanitation boss.Quote:

The exception is for Judicial candidates who do not need authorizations.
Thanks for the correction!Quote:

Collins has Erie County in the BLACK! Whatever garbage you want to spew is just that GARBAGE! Cheektowaga pays more for everything because of stupidity and they don't even use a time clock for some employees. Let them pay with all the millions they rip offf from their taxpayers!Quote:

5,357,970,556 and Clarence's only at 3,392,718,673, Cheektowaga gets the greater share. 4/1 to 6/30 and 10/1 to 12/31 the sales tax distribution is based on population with Cheektowaga's 2010 census population at 88,226 and Clarence's population at 30,673, Cheektowaga again gets the greater share.
Look at the cities of Buffalo, Lackawanna and Tonawanda. They share 10% alone of the 3% and then again are in the municipal sharing pot with the towns.

You are totally ignorant on how the endorsement process works.Quote:

Apparently the dems are far up the IP's butt.
No I am not the State IP thru Frank McKay controls all endorsements for Erie County. Look it up. Any local IP party in Erie County is not legally recognized by the state party.Quote:
