    Mayor Ruda speaks out at the Village Board meeting

    Readers, some intrigue tonight at the VOL board meeting. Mr Rudz will sit with the very board he charged with a cover-up.

    I have a feeling it may be an air clearing affair. With the nasty campaign Rudz ran culminating in his defeat, there are still a lot of pissed off people waiting to confront him.

    Stay tuned

    Councilman Dickman did not live up to his duty as a leader of the community and this will follow him for the rest of his life.

    Even after hearing the title of the song, that should have been enough to stop the skit, that is, is he really wanted to protect anyone. Mr. Dickman even filmed the slight bow at the end. Did he really need the entire skit to protect anyone ??? No way at all. Sure he won the election but he still remains dirty. Any chance for higher office is gone.

    Mr. Rudz is a hero in my view standing up for women. Standing up for what's right. You or anyone simply cannot take that from him. Even with the election loss, Mr. Rudz should hold his head high! He is the real winner in this sad chapter.

    The "pissed off people" might want to take their anger to their priest, reverend, rabbi, or any other spiritual advisor - and show that person the entire thing, together with all the writing on Speakup WNY, throughout the scandal. The "pissed off people" would be admonished.

    Wasn't the village a few years late in their training?

    This is it? You lose again, Ralph, you will not win again in Lancaster. Your SLIME CREW slate LOST. RONNY, your ENTIRE slate got spanked!!!!!

    I heard at tonight's VOL board meeting, Mayor Ruda in a shrewd move made Trustee Sojka a co-chair overseeing the DPW.

    I am told that she publically called Mr. Rudz a LIAR. I understand the Honorable Mayor defended Mr. Dickman as an employee and pledged to do the same for ALL of our great public servants. KUDOS Madam Mayor. Although it was hard to hear everything, I did hear a clear, honest , sincere and passionate statement from Mayor Ruda.

    The defense of HER village was memorable and truthful. She called for a public apology from Mr. Rudz. She stood tall for the DPW workers and the rest of our public servants. Furthermore, she clearly explained why the measures and actions that took were valid and taken with the VOL's best interests in mind. The Honorable Mayor was professional enough to ask for advice from lawyers.

    Once again, Mr. Adam Dickman is vindicated within the TOL limits, which is where his voters come from. I must remind you all, it was the voters who chose. THEY ARE NOT STUPID!!!!

    Ya hear that train a comin Ralph??????

    Readers, here's a little update after reviewing some more interesting recording of tonight's VOL board meeting.

    Trustee Cindy was VERY quiet tonight. Each of the board members had something to say directly to Trustee Rudz except Cindy. Neither for or against. That's odd.
    What's more odd though is, what did the Honorable Mayor HAVE to negotiate out of her original statement to get Cindy to go along?

    Mr. Rudz gave a canned reply to the guilt of committing political dirty tricks that dragged the Village of Lancaster"s reputation down the drain along with his politcal opponant. No apology, no remorse.

    I got a feeling this is not over yet Readers. As I like to say......Stay tuned.


    Things seem to be smoothing out at BOTH the Highway and the DPW barns. Work safe, be safe.

    On reading this Blunt, for some reason I am reminded of an anecdote that an acquaintance shared with me which reflected just how tenuous is the position of a public schools superintendent.

    My acquaintance had a conversation with a Superintendent of Schools.

    It seems that the Superintendent's contract was up for renewal, but no school board member had yet broached the issue with him.

    The Superintendent then approached the President of the BOE, who matter-of-factly, told the Superintendent to put the contract renewal on the Agenda for the next board meeting.

    The Superintendent, reassured and confident of the contract's renewal, did exactly that. Here is how that meeting went:

    During the public session, the President read and asked "Item 5, renewal of the Superintendent's contract, do I hear a motion?"

    Silence.

    Once again, the President read and asked "Item 5, renewal of the Superintendent's contract, do I hear a motion?"

    Again silence.

    The Superintendent recounted that he sat rather confused in his chair as the meeting moved on.

    The Superintendent, shaking his head in embarrassment, then related "It was not until Item #10 was read, that I realized that I had just been fired."

    The Superintendent's mental confusion then gave way to physical numbness.
    I don't know why that anecdote just occurred to me.

    That's pretty much the only correct thing you write. "within the TOL limits," yeah, the swine can slither on his belly like a snake, knowing full well that he is forever an embarrassment. Fingers will always be pointed at him, snickers always made, whispers always behind his back - all well deserved because he was down right WRONG, and his sick participation is an anchor for any future office he seeks. You just won't admit it.

    And from what I hear, you also twist what the mayor actually stated. But, no surprise there.

    It must be entirely advantageous to engage this, an otherwise thoughtful forum, to spew venom and engage name calling, without fear of accountability, because, in your own words:

    Wakey, wakey brainless, Mayor Ruda has seen the light. Expect her and Trustee Sojka to be working hand in hand to gain control of the VOL again. Ronny, you and Ralph are on a long walk on a short pier.

    You see nothing brainless but your own hate.
    Rudz was tagged with the moniker he deserves, LIAR. That's in the only record that counts, the public record. brainless you are chaff blowing in the wind. Nothing you say holds water. You have been ground at the grist mill.

    To quote you, "hee hee hee"

    Let's take a look at some outcomes. Amatura is gone, Cansdale now reports to Mr Tyler Sojka, Mayor Ruda is now working with Frank Lee Blunt, Mr. Wozniak is history, The TOL board is now in the hands of Conservative Republicans. Mr. Dickman has been re elected by a LARGE margin, a brand-new Con/ Rep Councilman won. Gosh that's not too bad uh brainless?

    Find ONE thing I've said about last night's VOL board meeting that's not completely factual, brainless. You can't because all of your “info” is a day late and filled with hateful lies, just like the entire SLIME CREW and the peanut gallery you sit in

    I have no hate for anyone, Mr. Blunt. But I so see things like the report on WGRZ TV about the Village Highway Dept. matter.

    While the report focused on Brian Mammoth, who by the way nobody defended on here, and his creepy drive by to the home of the young woman in the video is also very disturbing. Adam Dickman also made up a good portion of the report, and again Adam looked guilty as sin for his sick participation. Frank Lee Blunt, I could care less about the election. My outrage was this man's total lack of remorse, declaring himself "cleared" when that never happened and was not written in the press release you and your ilk hang their hats on. Indeed, when an investigation cannot find evidence it does not mean someone is cleared. That's as basic as it gets.

    Mary Alice understandably looked concerned with Dickman's part of the scandal, and investigative reported Steve Brown looked shocked as he explained Dickman's part to Ms. Demler.

    Steve Brown: "He's (Dickman) acknowledged that he made the recording. That he did (long pause, eyes wide open, as shocked) NOTHING to stop what went on during that horrible little performance. And he's been, ya know, he has not been punished by Village government."

    Why do all the reporters focus on Adam Dickman and not Brian Mammoth ??? Because Dickman should have been the leader he claims to be and did the right thing !!!!!!!!!

    It's not surprising that the reporter focused on Adam Dickman not stopping the awful production, and also focusing on Dickman not being punished. And Steve Brown is not the only reporter to focus on those two key elements of the sordid affair. NO STOPPING and NO PUNISHMENT !!!!! Of course Dickman made himself unavailable to speak to Steve Brown, as was the case before. WIMP! Steve Brown naturally would have made mincemeat out of the clown. Come to find out, and totally against what I thought of Adam Dickman, people who know him tell me he's dumber than a box of rocks. Could that be why he hid from Steve Brown ?????

    Again, Mr. Rudz has no fear at all and again stood up for what's right. He may have lost an election but he gained in stature in my book.

    Among all your lies on here Frank Lee Blunt this one takes the cake. Did you provide her with the proof of her crimes with the development agency ???? Or is that all forgotten ??? How about all the other false claims that also could land the woman in prison - federal prison ??? Your actions in the spring race for mayor are unforgiveable. And you expect us to believe you are now her pal ???



    One more thing: Looks like another FAILURE for former Mayor Schroeder in not having a workforce training program in place. Good thing he no longer serves in the mayor's office.

    He He He!

    Game plan sound familiar, Breezy?

    It appears the Lancaster voters caught on as well!

    The Democrats' dirt factory

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...?ocid=msedgntp

    Yet, it is neither the Clinton slime factory nor the cynical hacks who work there that I wish to focus on. It is, rather, a particular aspect of their methods, which the Left has adopted in its fight to impose its grotesque agenda on the nation.

    Call it the “never-the-right-time” technique.

    Now, the Left has been rumbled. On Election Day recently, it stood in all its naked cynicism, its deceptions exposed for voters to see. And voters effectively said, “Ah, now we get it. Now we know what you’re doing. You’ve been conning us. You really shouldn't be in power.”

    The Left’s Clintonian technique is always "nothing to see here, let’s move on." But the voters replied that there was a lot to see, and it was time for the tricksters to move on.

    Why is that Breezy?

    Could the answer to my question be that we, including the Lancaster voters, all saw and understood the video, which is indisputable evidence showing exactly what happened, you know, actual evidence, something that your version of events lacks?

    Was it not Dickman who shot that video, gave it to the family, who in turn "took it from there?"

    Why do you and the rest of the Left ask us to disregard the mother's full October 18, 2021 explanation, which recounted the complete story, and accept the rather unsourced WYNMedia narrative?

    Maybe Mary Alice "looked concerned" because she realized that the story was based on an incomplete factual timeline?

    I am also concerned about the story and have some questions about its preparations. Here are just some of the questions that I have concerning this underdeveloped story:

    (1) In the interview, did the victim express any concerns about Dickman or anyone other than the disgusting singer?

    (2) While the report did reference a October 16, 2021 news article when discussing Dickman, why is it that it failed to reference this October 26 Buffalo News article which included comments of the victim's mother delivered to the Lancaster Town Council on October 18, 2021:

    "Worker’s mother defends Dickman in vulgar video case

    By Jay Tokasz
    NEWS STAFF REPORTER

    A Lancaster mother lashed out at town residents who she said exploited her daughter as part of a political ploy to influence voters in a hotly contested Town Board race.

    Roxanne Weber said she was 'sickened' to learn that some people she had considered friends were using a video recording of a village employee singing vulgar and misogynist lyrics for 'desperate politics' in a bid to unseat board member Adam L. Dickman.

    'They were using my daughter, my daughter – (in) her most embarrassing situation – for their politics,' Weber said.

    Some residents began calling for Dickman to step down after he recorded a village public works department laborer making crude and obscene comments about women’s menstrual cycles in the presence of other male employees and Weber’s daughter, who worked as a seasonal employee in the department.

    Video of the incident has been circulating around the town since mid-July and recently was posted to... (site redacted)... political website. In addition to being on the Town Board and running for re-election, Dickman works full time as a laborer for the village’s public works department.

    His critics said he was complicit in allowing the female coworker to be sexually harassed in a workplace and should resign from the board.

    The video at one point focuses on Weber’s daughter, who is seated at a table looking at a cellphone, as the worker sings his lyrics. Male laughter can be heard in the background.

    Weber’s daughter, a college student who worked on a seasonal basis for the village, has hired attorney Lindy Korn to represent her. Dickman has defended himself by saying he sent the video only to Weber’s husband, James Rogala, who also works in the public works department but was not present when their coworker, Brian Mamott, delivered his performance
    .
    'I did this for her protection, so her parents could decide whether they would take any actions if necessary, which I assumed they would,' Dickman said. At a board meeting, Weber echoed Dickman’s version of what happened.

    Weber told The News that other workers also recorded the incident, but she does not know who circulated it or how it was posted to a website. She said William Cansdale, superintendent for the village public works department, gave it to the Village Board.

    Nonetheless, political fliers have surfaced in the town making the claim that the video amounted to Dickman producing “pornography.”

    Dickman’s supporters said the incident was being twisted as a political stunt to make Dickman look bad in the race among four candidates for two board seats.

    Weber aimed her anger at Mamott, as well as anyone who used the video to score political points.

    Weber added: “So before anyone comes up here and asks why someone still has a job, do me and my family a favor and ask, ‘Why is Brian Mamott still working?’” Village officials issued a statement this week saying that the village “took swift action” against the employee who sang the obscene lyrics.

    The statement also said that outside labor counsel hired to investigate the incident “did not reveal any evidence that Mr. Dickman shared the video with anyone other than the stepfather” of the female co-worker, who filed a sexual harassment complaint with the village.

    'Regular training is also provided to all employees on this topic, including mandatory annual sexual harassment prevention training. In light of this incident, the Village issued additional sexual harassment training for all Department of Public Works employees. Among other things, this training highlighted the importance of and strategies for intervention,' the village statement said."
    (3) Why is it that the Rudz interview was shot in front of the Town Hall which houses the Lancaster Town Council, the same body to which Mr. Rudz aspired during the campaign?

    (4) If Mr. Rudz was speaking in his capacity as Village Trustee, I note that the interview not conducted at the Village Municipal Building where he had official standing. Was the Town Hall venue a staged campaign prop?

    (5) Did not the report leave unchallenged the Rudz comment that Dickman was "laughing" during the recording?

    (6) What proof does Rudz hold which confirms that the purported laughter was Dickman's?

    The story reflects the flawed skills of a fictional reporter who wrote a November 25, 1963 news story about President Kennedy's entire Texas tour, but only referenced his San Antonio and Fort Worth receptions.

    The difference between Lee Chowaniec's Had Enough Yet Dirt Factory and the Democrats' Dirty Factory, is best illustrated by the multi-purpose design of a vacuum cleaner.

    Had Enough Yet functions as the intake end of the vacuum cleaner, which cleans-up the dirt, while the Democrats' Dirty Factory functions as the exhaust or discharge end of the vacuum cleaner, which creates a huge mess.

    Thanks for pointing this out Breezy.
