Reply With QuoteDid she ever work for a living?
This is my question for a lot of the politicians in office.
Jane Woodward has to be the old lady of Amherst. I can't remember a time when she hasn't been involved in things. How did she get involved in politics. If I'm right she's been on the Town Board for about 10 years and before that she was a long time member of the Planning Board I think. What is the history of Jane Woodward? Who did she know that originally appointed her to the Planning Board? And how did she know that person? What did she do before she was on the Planning Board? Did she ever work for a living? If so, doing what? I think she's married to a lawyer. Is her husband a politically active lawyer? What's her background? Was she a GOP committeeman? Is she from a political family?
Obvoiusly, she's a big hit with the senior crowd. From what I know, they just think she's great. I guess that's her primary "voting block". Would she get elected without the senior vote?
How old is she?
Why does she seem to look down upon almost everyone other than seniors?
I do not like her at all, so I cannot understand what other's see in her.

Wow, quite a lack of response.
Does this mean that nobody here knows Woodward's history?
Or, does it mean that she has gotten the word out to people that questions like these should not be answered?
I would like to know what a lot of the town board/politicians did for a living other than elected positions. Do a lot of them have real world experience other than who can brown nose and kiss arse the best?
From my observation, Woodward doesn't have any so-called "real world experience" that would clearly qualify her to be a representative of 115,000 Amherst residents. To my knowledge, she is a absolute career politician and that's it. She has no other substantial activities or background. So, it would stand to reason - in my mind at least - that she MUST have known somebody at some point that vouched for her and brought her into the political/GOP fold.
But, these are just my observations/inferences. That's why I asked the questions... because I'd like to know the actual facts. I do not remember ever seeing a Jane Woodward resume. Maybe that's because it wouldn't be too impressive?
Thats my whole point about qualifications. They don't have real world experience. Yes they have political experience but you noticed it's not helping WNY really.
I want someone that might look over a labor contract or purchasing contract and state "Well this is stupid". Not award it because they want the votes or know the person selling the contract.

Who did she know that originally appointed her to the Planning Board? She has been on the Amherst Town Board since 1990. She knew her predecessors (of the mid '80s) who appointed her the first woman ever on the Amherst Planning Board.
What did she do before she was on the Planning Board? She was active on the Amherst GOP committee
Did she ever work for a living? If so, doing what? Some journalism after college (Syracuse U). Mostly a housewife, volunteer worker, and mother of her kids - now all grown and married.
I think she's married to a lawyer. Laurence is an estates and trusts, and elder law specialist with Magavern, Magavern & Grimm.
Is her husband a politically active lawyer? Not at all.
How old is she? b: Oct 24, 1943
Wow! Pretty UN-impressive. Like I suspected if the senior vote goes elsewhere, she'd be history. She's not worthy of representing me.
See, no real world, even if small scale, business experience. I'm not impressed when someone says "And they have been in politics for 20 years". Could it be they could never survive and make a living in the real business world? Arse kissing and brown noseing only go so far in business.
Jane was born in a little town in NYS . She went to the U of Vermont.She did her grad work at Syracuse. She met her husband there . He is an attoreny .He is suffering from I think Cerabal Pausly.Her family was in the construction business. She never had an regular job .She has always been involed in politics. She does have a speech inpedament. She has been the liason to the seniors and she has baby them. They get what they want from her. That is why she gets thier votes.
Again, like I said: Wow!
To me she seems like a zero (other than her special interest work for seniors).
I wouldn't give her a job. What would she be qualified to do? Sales rep, maybe? But I wouldn't want her selling my product.
Wow, never had a job. I wonder what it must be like to live like that, you know? Why would anyone want someone like that representing them? Do people actually think that she can "relate"? As I understand it now, she doesn't own a single family home either. I hear that she has a condo or apartment in Willimasville. Again, how can she relate to me the "average" homeowner? She can't.
Well, as the seniors die off, I guess she'll lose her support. I used to have a lot of respect for seniors, but if Woodward is the type of person they think is worthy, I'm not so certain they are really "with it".
Maybe she's not quite as dumb as you'd like to think she is.Originally posted by |- Amherst Stakeholder -|

CORRECTION:
They had a two-story home on Countryside for all the years that their kids were growing up and until after they became empty nesters and Larry's mobility worsened. Not unreasonable to move to a condo, I'd say.

On the contrary:
Seniors, as a voting block are NOT dying off. They are in fact the fastest growing segment of the population.
People are living longer PLUS all those "war babies" are quickly approaching seniordom.
Oh, I don't mean to suggest that I think Woodward is dumb. Quite the contrary, especially when it comes to political self preservation. However, other than being able to use seniors to her personal advantage, she's nothing. Foolish seniors. Shame on them for letting Woodward get away with her nonsense.Originally posted by absolivious

Other than to be a real estate developers spokes person/sales rep, what is she qualified to do in 2004? Can you picture her actually earing a living by producing a value added product/service? How does she add value to Amherst for it's residents? She doesn't. Foolish seniors.
Don't you understand she is an excellent actress. She really has the people beleiving she cares for them. What an actress.

absolivious is correct. Where you live is your choice and would have no bearing on work performance. Condo versus home.
