    Summer Break IS Over Rino's and Dems and fake Conservatives

    Well Readers, it's finally time to go to battle. Time to start pointing out the fakes and pretenders involved in the coming election in the Town of Lancaster. It's the same old players. Some have chosen to change the uniform they wear out in the public's view, others continue to foist their selves into the spot light. And then there are the new comers. The new saviors of the old worn out types.

    Soon there will be a flood of requests for Mr. Amatura's records for various work related questions.
    The Big Phoney Mohr of the BOE has been sharing a table at Swaney's in the city with none other the the famous Democrat Terry McCracken and The Republican Chairman of Erie County. What do you suppose was going on at that meeting?
    The BOE is THE MOST CORRUPT political organization in the State. Swapping candidates back and forth like some fantasy football league is what they do regularly. Suing citizens who are candidates that wouldn't bend to their will and intimidating others with threats of reprisal. This coming election in the TOL will bring out the worst in the fakers and pretenders.
    The Town of Lancaster is about to be won back from a bunch of lazy Giza Mafia and Ralph Mohr Zombies.
    Plenty "Mohr" to come. I did a lot of reference work looking into The Incompetent Mr. Wozniak, Mr. Amatura and Mr Rino Rudz. They got some questions that need to be asked for the public's information.
    Ah summer is slipping away......Time to wakey wakey Mr Puppet Greg Smith. By the way,why weren't you included in the conversations at Swaney's. I can tell you why. It's because you are useless and hold not an ounce of power. Your strings are controlled by Puppet Master Mohr.
    Danny Boy has been losing it all summer long at work. Mistreating the work force and being the bully he is naturally.
    It's all coming to a clear choice to the voters. Elect a ticket with a person who wants to reorganize our police dept to be taken over by the Erie County Sheriffs, and another who covered up for Amatura's shady campaign fund sceme,Mr.Wozniak. The same guy who couldn't get a simple Dog Pound built. And of course then there is the star of the show himself. Golden Boy Danny. He lets his deputy superintendent"s son dump in the town facility and allows others who will donate to his campaign fund the same grant. Anybody else could be fined a big amount of money. Time for the aged Danny Boy and his even older deputy to go!

    Hey Blunt, good to read you again. I was beginning to think that you may have joined the Navy, eh?

    Just My Opinion:

    If this meeting is true, it is very suspicious.

    It is indeed strange that for some reason, meals seem to be the settings for betrayals.

    In the Christian faith, the sacred Last Supper was the venue for the ultimate betrayal. It is written that Jesus informed his disciples during the Last Supper that one of them will betray him, and then privately confronted his betrayer Judas, and admonished him "What you are about to do, do quickly."

    In the fictional world of "The Godfather," when gangster Michael Corleone was about to betray his "truce" with gangster counterpart Virgil Sollozzo, they were dinning together at Louis' Restaurant in the Bronx. Corleone intended to go into a bathroom to retrieve a pistol with which he expected to shoot Sollozzo. Before excusing himself to get the gun, Corleone told Sollozzo "I have to go to the bathroom."

    Picking up on "The Godfather" theme, during the purported meeting you cite, do you not think it possible that the respective party faithful, as well as the Lancaster residents, were betrayed, and in that speculative regard, all of the actors perhaps said "Piss on them?"

    Mark, an awful lot of dark dealings are going on in the TOL and within the BOE. Inside info is getting out. The Mohr nightmare continues to corrupt and steal the votes of many citizens. On more levels than just this TOL election. The political incestuous relationship between both party Chairman is unhealthy at best. For too long, the people have had the wool pulled over their eyes by the downtown leadership and their clones. Clones that are bought and paid for with jobs and positions of favor. The entire building is full of these robots. They have absolutely no regard for the regular voter.
    More to come on the dark doings of Ralph Mohr and his posse.

    I don’t believe it had anything to do with the upcoming Lancaster November election. What purpose would be served by the ‘Axis of Evil’ conspirators attempting to mitigate the greatest political blunder this individual has witnessed in his 40-year Town of Lancaster residency.

    Colluding to cross-endorse same slates, unscrupulously colluding to primary candidates against endorsed Conservative Party candidates attempting to eliminate public voice at the election ballot box, was appalling.

    The endorsed Republican Party candidates were defeated by primarying candidates who were also endorsed by the Conservative Party – same victorious candidates of the Conservative Party. As the victorious primarying Republican Party candidates will have nothing to do with the officially recognized Republican Party, especially since their own party refused to endorse them (even incumbents Justice Cervi and Councilmember Dickman), the Swannie House meeting appears to have no relevance..

    The endorsed Democrat Party candidates who will appear on the ballot in November accepted endorsements from Democrat, Republican and Working Family Parties – and then unscrupulously worked to oust the endorsed Conservative Party candidates. It would seem unlikely that Republican BOE Commissioner Mohr and County Republican Chair Simmeth would conspire with Lancaster Democrat Party Chair to elect Democrats, right? Wait, they already conspired and lost.

    They failed to destroy the Conservative Party by ballot box. Both BOE Commissioners have already voiced supporting eliminating fusion voting and having a two-party system. Could that be it? Could the plotting already be about the future Supervisor election?

    Blanks like me and Independents who find it abhorring to vote on Republican or Democrat ballot lines seek minor party lines to vote on. The Independent Party line is gone. Such voters would be deprived in selecting a candidate not beholden to colluding major parties and candidates having no set political values or ethos.

    How any Republican or Conservative could accept the support of the Working Families Party is beyond my comprehension.

    Ah, the Working Families Party's purpose...

    WE’RE BUILDING A MULTIRACIAL PARTY OF WORKING PEOPLE TO TRANSFORM OUR COUNTRY.
    Reference: https://workingfamilies.org/

    Concerning the Working Families Party, I have no problem with this element of its mission...


    WE’RE BUILDING A MULTIRACIAL PARTY OF WORKING PEOPLE...
    ...but perhaps its beneficiaries, Messrs. Wozniak, Rudz, and Amatura, can more fully explain this component to its stated mission?...

    ...TO TRANSFORM OUR COUNTRY.
    Also, can candidates Wozniak, Rudz and Amatura amplify on their decision to accept the support of the Working Families Party, especially in light of certain items resident in the Working Families Party's People's Charter?

    Reference: https://www.peoplescharter.us/read-the-charter

    I am particularly curious to know of Wozniak's, Rudz's, and Amatura's position on these People's Charter items...

    We voted out Trump and stopped the bleeding. But now it’s time to remake our nation on a new foundation... And we can do more
    Repair historic harms and end systemic racism.
    More specifically, it is very important to me for the Working Families Party-supported candidates Wozniak and Amatura, both enrolled Conservatives, and Trustee Rudz, an enrolled Republican, to explain why they accepted, and apparently continue to accept, the support of a political party which advocates for...

    Shift resources away from policing, jails and detention centers...
    Is that why Trustee Rudz purportedly told the Conservative Party earlier this year that he favors eliminating the Lancaster Town Police Department in favor of a contracted law enforcement agency?


    Moreover, does the Working Families Party expect sympathetic cooperation from Councilman Wozniak and Trustee Rudz regarding this element of the Working Families Party's People Charter?...

    Eliminate restrictive local zoning rules...
    Finally, do Wozniak, Rudz, and Amatura support this item in the Work Families Party's People's Charter?...

    No evictions, foreclosures, or utility shut-offs during the pandemic. Cancel rent and suspend debt payments...

    Readers, there is a rumble beginning within the Republican party, from the State Chairman's office right on down to the Erie County level.
    When Nick Landworthy decided to relocate his home to Niagara County and awards his long-time sidekick Ray Walters an unchallenged run for State Supreme Court he bruised an awful lot of egos. Expect the flaming torches and hayforks to be out for Ralph Mohr and the rest of the phoneys at the Erie County BOE.
    As I stated before that organization is corrupted from top to bottom. Ruled by two overlords who steal the people's choice year after year, the leadership has completely failed at the purpose they were charged with.
    When a Democrat County chairman can also hold the position of BOE Commissioner and he [Jeremy Zellner] can make deals with the Republican BOE Commissioner[Ralph Mohr] to set up a friend of Nick Langworthy to be handed a seat on the bench of the supreme court, it is an absolute misuse of power. Mr.Walters will be owned by the BOE and not the voters. This type of dealing has been going on continually at all levels.
    Both BOE Commissioners are involved in a business that should not concern them. Because the Democrats are used to having their candidates picked for them, they care less about the process. So Zellner acting in both positions, as corrupt as it is, doesn't matter. But when Ralph tries to have the same power of selecting who runs for what positions, it smells. The BOE Commissioners are there to qualify or disqualify votes, to assure the candidates have completed the proper paperwork on time, to certify the final ballot count, and other things to give the voters confidence. They ARE NOT there to sue people they don't want to run because it upsets their own personal plans. As they have done over and over. This is a common practice of Ralph Mohr. Inserting himself in the process as if he were the Republican Chairman. But he's not that at all.I see a shake-up coming down the line. I feel a REAL REPUBLICAN movement starting. Lancaster has shown the way. The rest of the Rep party chairmen in the county are watching and wondering. Soon the fakes like Greg Smith, a Ralph Mohr puppet, are going to be put out to pasture. Ralph, if you don't already know it, the long knives are out for you and your corrupt clan. Nick Langworthy failed miserably at the State Chairmanship. Filling his pockets by keeping his wife employed with state tax dollars and not winning anything of worth. It's the same with you Ralph, you are, by your own record, a LOSER.
    Right now in Erie County, there are only two parties of consequence, The DEM/REP and the CONSERVATIVES. All REAL REPUBLICANS are becoming aware of the situation. They are looking at Lancaster and wondering if they can do the same thing in their own town. Time to shine a bright light on the BOE. If you want a good example of the complete incompetence being practiced by the BOE, read up on the stance they took on the Mayor Brown issue. A judge again had to tell them they were wrong in their decision concerning the Mayors' right to be on the ballot this fall.
    Changes are coming within the Republican Party folks, from the top down.

    Here is something worth reading Blunt...





    Appeal mulled on ballot rulings for Brown

    Elections Board to decide Tuesday

    By Aaron Besecker and Maki Becker

    NEWS STAFF REPORTERS

    The Erie County Board of Elections will decide Tuesday whether to appeal one or both decisions handed down Friday that allow Mayor Byron W. Brown to appear on the ballot in November on an independent line.

    Jeremy J. Zellner, the Democratic commissioner at the Board of Elections who is also the Erie County Democratic Committee chairman, says he thinks the county should appeal.

    “I’m publicly in favor of appealing,” Zellner said Saturday.

    Republican Elections Commissioner Ralph M. Mohr said Saturday that he hasn’t made up his mind about how to proceed.

    “I’ll decide that at the meeting,” Mohr said. He also said he thinks the rulings that allow Brown to be on the ballot mean there is no deadline anymore and that means other people may petition to be on independent lines for the coming election.

    Both commissioners must agree in order for the county to move forward, Zellner said.

    The decision will be made during a hearing scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday in the third-floor conference room at the board’s offices, 134 W. Eagle St.

    The public will have a chance to weigh in. Participants and attendees of the public hearing will be required to wear masks inside the county facility.

    Brown, who lost the Democratic primary to India B. Walton, missed a May filing deadline for the ballot line by nearly 14 weeks. On Aug. 27, the Erie County Board of Elections shot down Brown’s bid for his name to appear on an independentSee Election on Page C2


    Board must certify ballot by Thursday

    ELECTION • from C1 ballot line, ruling his submission was “untimely” because it was not filed by the deadline set earlier this year by the State Legislature.

    “I would rule the petition to be invalid as being untimely and wish both sides good luck as they litigate this out,” Mohr said then.

    Brown appealed in both federal and state courts on Friday. Both ruled in his favor.

    The rulings boost Brown’s chances in a bid for a fifth term in office. Brown lost June’s Democratic primary to Walton and until recently had not sought any independent lines. He had been urging supporters to mount a write-in campaign in November.

    “We’re working on it,” Walton said Saturday. “It’s expensive. So we’re just working hard to raise money and bring in the best legal team that we can to fight this. But we’re definitely going to appeal.”

    Any appeal must happen quickly.

    The Erie County Board of Elections needs to certify its ballot by Thursday so that the state Board of Elections can also certify it in time for absentee ballots to be mailed out, including to military personnel serving overseas.

    “This has been kind of a distraction for our staff,” Zellner said. Now, he said, “we have to wait on a court case.”

    On Friday, U.S. District Judge John L. Sinatra Jr. ordered the Board of Elections to put Brown’s name on an independent ballot line – called the Buffalo Party – in the November general election for mayor. Sinatra ruled the earlier deadline “severely burdens plaintiff’s rights.”

    In a separate state case decided Friday, State Supreme Court Justice Paul Wojtaszek deemed the state’s deadline unconstitutional because it is “excessively early.”

    Brown on Saturday called his court win a “victory for ballot access.”

    In his decision, Sinatra sided with Brown supporters, who sought to stop Erie County election officials from enforcing a state petition deadline Brown missed by almost 14 weeks.

    The state’s deadline, which requires nominating petitions be filed no later than 23 weeks before a general election, was moved up because the primary election was changed from September to June.

    Zellner said the Board of Elections follows a state schedule. The state statute dictates when the petitions must be filed, he added.

    Walton has called the federal court ruling “a travesty and a mockery of justice.”

    Sinatra should have recused himself from the case because of the appearance of conflict, State Sen. Sean Ryan said Saturday.

    Ryan, speaking after an event on Buffalo’s West Side during which he announced his endorsement of Walton for mayor, called Sinatra’s order to put Brown’s name on an independent ballot line in the general election an “impaired judicial decision.”

    “The federal rules are set up to give the people confidence that there will be no conflict between a judge and litigants in this case. So, in this matter, it’s clear the judge should have recused himself from that matter because, once again, it’s the appearance of impropriety,” said Ryan, D-Buffalo. “And we want to give the people full confidence that these decisions are above board and instead people are left with the belief that the fix was in.”

    Ryan pointed to campaign contributions Sinatra’s former law firm, Hodgson Russ, has made in the past to Brown’s campaigns, as well as legal work the city has paid the firm to perform.

    The state senator also raised concerns about Sinatra’s brother, Buffalo real estate developer Nick Sinatra, who has donated to Brown’s campaign and has received tax breaks for his developments in the city.

    At Friday’s federal court hearing, Sinatra said he was aware some had suggested he recuse himself because of his brother’s political support for Brown and that he consulted recusal rules before presiding over the hearing.

    “There’s no basis for recusal. I will apply the facts to the law as best I can,” Sinatra said, adding that he intends to have his integrity intact at the end of his judicial career.

    Ryan also said he believes Brown’s push for the independent line and accompanying the federal ruling will likely allow him to stay on the ballot because there’s no guarantee an appeal would be heard before ballots must be finalized.

    “Clearly, the timing of when the lawsuits were filed, when they asked for the determination, was all designed to make it so there was no runway left in federal court to get an appeal and the judge knew that.”

    Walton submitted an affidavit in federal court asking the judge to deny ordering Brown’s name be put on the ballot. An attorney for Walton did not formally ask Sinatra to recuse himself.

    When asked why, Walton on Saturday said, “Because it’s just not protocol, right? We trust judges to have the professional ethics to recuse themselves when they have a conflict of interest. It wasn’t our place to request that Judge Sinatra recuse himself. We figured that he knew his conflicts very well and that he would voluntarily recuse himself.”

    Readers, as I told you earlier, the two most corrupt men in Erie County as far as valid elections are concerned, have once again acted to steal the peoples' ability to choose their own candidates. Even after being admonished by a sitting judge for their poor decision on the Mayor of Buffalo issue, they continue to try to assert their will by appealing. An obvious ploy to slow things down and disrupt the Brown campaign.
    This is what happens when the BOE has been corrupted by the plan and action of two men that constantly overstep their positions as the peoples' protectors and line their own pockets and grow their own little kingdoms. Zellner and Mohr are not worthy to sit in their seats of power. Making deals and controlling with an iron fist who comes and goes, who will be ALLOWED to run for office in Erie County, who will be given patronage jobs, who they will sue to make it really tough to compete if you don't kneel before them.
    Two men who should be spending their time looking at each others' party and less time making deals with one and other. No one is served but each of them and their own wants and needs. There is an earthquake brewing below the scenes readers. Stay tuned

    Just My Opinion:



    For years, Buffalo has been striving for a renaissance.

    That renaissance, to a significant degree, has been realized, and has been supported by not only Buffalo residents, but the residents of the suburbs as well.

    Should India B. Walton prevail against Mayor Brown, I just wonder what impact a Walton administration would have on that renaissance?

    Ms. Walton, whom I believe, like Wozniak, Rudz, and Amatura, enjoys the support of the Working Families Party, supports defunding the police. In that connection, I must ask how that Walton position may impact the psyche of the suburban patrons of the new Buffalo, as they may wrestle with cautious thoughts regarding a possible less-than-safe Buffalo?

    BTW, should Hizzoner the Mayor be denied a line on the November ballot, is it not reasonable to lay partial responsibility at the feet of Messers. Zellner and Mohr?

    Keep a close eye on the Buffalo Mayor's race Lancaster readers, because that template of kindred "cooperation" between Zellner and Mohr, just may be the second half of the same coin now circulating in Lancaster, just my opinion of course.

    Perhaps more relevant to a complete understanding of the Rudz candidacy, it is necessary for the Democrat and Republican parties to answer these questions:...

    (3) Why have both political parties endorsed Trustee Paul Rudz, whom I understand told the Lancaster Conservative Party Chair that he favors the dissolution of the Lancaster Town Police Department in favor of a contracted police force?

    Well, well, well Readers, just as I told you would happen, did. Three men, without one ballot placed by the public voters, have just robbed the citizens of their rightful and legal choice of a candidate.
    Ralph Mohr has just affirmed he would rather put the entire policing system of the city of Buffalo in jeopardy rather than lose a fight to defend a bad decision.
    Anyone in Lancaster should now be aware of the lengths he will go to win for himself. For his own perverted ego, he will deal with the devil himself, and he has.
    Ralph Mohr has thrown his support behind local candidates already who believe in transforming the TOL police dept into a contracted force of the Erie County Sheriff's Dept. Ralph has thrown his support behind Working Families Party endorsed candidates Wozniak and Rudz and Amatura.
    This is the bum that sued the present candidates of the republican/conservative slate that actually won by a mile in the primaries.
    Ralph Mohr is the biggest threat to real democracy in Erie County. But then Ralph agrees with the state chairman when he openly tells people.." He believes in democracy, he just doesn't practice it"

    "Byron W. Brown's efforts to gain an independent line in the November general election for mayor will continue after the Erie County Board of Elections on Tuesday voted to pursue an appeal of a federal case allowing Brown to compete, while passing on challenging the similar decision of a state judge.

    Republican Elections Commissioner Ralph M. Mohr proved a key vote in the federal case, joining with Democratic Elections Commissioner Jeremy J. Zellner in observing that new deadlines and confusion resulting from the earlier decisions would prove "untenable."
    If I understand this news report correctly, do you not find it very odd that the Erie County Republican Election Commissioner would join with the Erie County Democrat Election Commissioner in support of the candidacy of Ms. Walton, who I understand, favors defunding the police?

    Reference: https://buffalonews.com/news/local/e..._medium=social

    Odd; very odd.

    Just My Opinion:

    I simply do not believe that the residents of Lancaster will risk losing their outstanding, autonomous town police department to a contracted law enforcement service, by empowering candidates supported by the Working Families Party and its ultra-Left, defund the police agenda.

    Will the drama continue until the SWAMP prevails?...

    Appellate court issues stay on previous ruling that ordered Byron Brown's name appear on ballot


    By: Anthony Reyes

    Posted at 6:11 PM, Sep 08, 2021 and last updated 6:11 PM, Sep 08, 2021

    BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — An appellate court issued a stay on a previous ruling that ordered Byron Brown's name appear on the November ballot for the race for Mayor of Buffalo, according to court documents.

    A lawsuit was filed in State Supreme Court on August 30 on behalf of the Brown campaign, arguing the legislature’s change in primary day and day of the deadline to file a petition to appear on the November ballot was unconstitutional and did not give voters enough time to decide.

    In that case the court ruled Brown's name appear on the ballot in November as an independent candidate.

    ORDERED that the relief requested by Petitioner is GRANTED in all respects,, finding New York State Election Law Section 6-158(9) is unconstitutional in that the deadline to file Independent Nominating Petitions is excessively early. It was further determined additional defenses raised by Respondents; i.e. that laches bars this proceeding, Petitioner failed to name all necessary parties and Petitioner failed to comply with the statutory requirements of the Election Law by not listing a committee to fill vacancies, are denied.

    ORDERED that Petitioner-Candidate BYRON W. BROWN’S name shall appear on all ballots used for the General Election of November 2, 2021
    as a candidate for the Buffalo Party for the public office for Mayor, City of Buffalo, County of Erie, State of New York.

    The decision was appealed and the Supreme Court of the Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department heard the appeal and issued a stay Wednesday, pending further arguments.
    India Walton, the Democratic nominee for mayor, issued the following statement Wednesday afternoon:

    This is clearly a wise decision. If everyday Buffalonians are late on rent, parking fees, or school assignments, they face consequences. There is no reason the rules should not apply to my GOP-backed opponent as well.
    - India Walton
    7 Eyewitness News has reached out to the Brown campaign for comment, we are waiting to hear back.

    There was also a lawsuit filed in Federal Court on behalf of three Buffalo residents who support Byron Brown for Mayor. The lawsuit “Alleges that New York’s early deadline, as applied to the would-be candidate violates their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.”

    In that case the court also ruled Brown's name appear on the ballot in November as an independent candidate.

    The India Walton Campaign responded to that decision, saying in part that it would appeal the decision. The Erie County Board of Elections also voted Tuesday to appeal the Federal Court decision. There has been no word on a decision on the appeal in that case.
