    Debbie Bucki Rotten Politics

    On this new thread we will start by exposing Debbi Bucki's self-serving politics as usual approach to government. This past week the delusional Satish Mohan introduced his so-called no growth budget. Councilmember Marlette must be breaking the mold because it appears as though Marlette has actually read the budget. Marlette correctly and appropriately brought forward a resolution under which town comptroller Carroll and others would be requested top provide back-up and rationales for the "Mohan math". Now, anyone who has been following along at home knows that Mohan is not a details person and that Mohan's work and particularly his budget numbers as well as cost and income projected numbers need to be tested, verified, checked and corrected so as to not result in the town relying upon Mohan's careless and shoddy work (not to mention the mind-bending exertion of non-sensical influence Mohan wreaks upon his deprtment heads, particularly when it comes to numbers and trying to make himself look good).

    Debbie Bucki was the swing vote in denying the public's right to look behind the Mohan curtain to test and examine the mad doctor's shoddy budget work. Debbie Bucki just might not want to have the state of the Town's finances made public before the election this year because Debbie Bucki has been asleep at the wheel and done nothing to improve upon the town's functioning or balance sheet in her very misguided public career in politics.
    Debbie Bucki has never challenged the status quo and can't be expected to start challenging the status quo now.

    Debbie Bucki should not be promoted to Town Clerk and shouldn't be entrusted with the big job of tax collector. This thread will practically write itself.

    Stay tuned for the top 10 reasons not to promote Debbie Bucki to Town Clerk.

    Let's ask the Attorney

    Sitting in the audience watching the conversation unfold was just too good to be real. Bucki requests the Town Attorney to provide his opinion on utilizing the Comptrollers expertise concerning the budget. The Attorney goes to great lengths to explain that this is not only a good idea, but the absolute correct thing to do. He repeats it and indicates the resolution is exactly what should be done.

    Bucki ignores this and votes against the resolution anyways.

    WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS SHE THINKING!

    Even Mohan said this was never done before, so it shouldn't be done now.

    Schratz proving once again that instead of brains, she has rocks, says this is a good idea, but maybe we could do it next year (or something like that).

    Weinstein, of course, says nothing of importance; becasue he is nothing of importance.

    Marlett counters that that is the very reason to do it. Input, objective opinions, transperancy. All the things Mohan, Schratz, and Bucki ALWAYS say need to be done. Manna and Ward voted for the resolution...these 3 actually get it.

    The resolution fails...apparently Mohan, Schratz, Weinstein, and BUCKI don't want anything to do with truth, facts, knowledge, or transperancy. I think we should get rid of them all.

    Debbie Bucki through the Looking Glass!

    Debbie Bucki and her rotting politics have actually now gone through the looking glass and landed in Alice's Wonderland where nothing is real and truth doesn't matter. All that matters is Debbie Bucki's election to the Town Clerk's position next month. I say let us see the back-up to Mohan's math! Not next year but now!

    Pity our beloved town - send Bucki the message by voting no to Debbie Bucki's politics as usual and her shell games that keep taxpayers in the dark!

    Debbie Bucki's inexplicable and faint-hearted run for the Amherst Town Clerk position will be further imperiled by her close ties (read - bound hand and foot by Dan Ward's perverse and vitriolic political dictates and lust for vengeance and political retribution).

    If Amherst voters are stupid enough to elect the inexperienced and unqualified Bucki, then they will also be treated to the circus that will ensue in the Town Clerk's office as the bizarre and eccentric Dan Ward will call every decision and shot in the Town Clerk's office as Bucki can not stand up to Ward. Bucki has merely been Dan Ward's parrot and there is no reason to believe that Bucki will ever stand up to Ward.




    Which is it? All you can do it seems is to cast aspersions on whatever suits your fancy. Why didn't you run for Town Clerk, Supervisior, or Board or any other elected position since you seem to know it all and have no allegiances supposedly except to you and your self serving ways.

    Could it be that DB voted with the TS because he endorsed her for the Town Clerks position? You have to remember that the TS does not spend much quality time analyzing any issue that he tackles. He procrastinates (or forgets) and when a deadline becomes near, he goes into a hastened mode, making others devote extended hours in a short time frame to come up with a decision, solution, etc.

    hmmm... It would stand for/reason...if he only wasn't the vote that put the current clerk were she is...you can color the picture all you want but the only color you seem to be slinging onto the canvas is brown.

    TheRightView,

    I can respect your point of view, but I was only making a suggestion on why DB voted with the TS on an issue. My other statement in regard to the TS I will stand by, for this has been his way of dealing with issues since he came into office. Unfortunately this budget will suffer, not to take into consideration his actual motives of eliminating certain individuals (not positions) in the budget. The removal of the former Assistant Town Engineer is not over yet and unfortunately since the TS did not follow certain required procedures, this may cost all of us many $$$$ (even though his removal may have been justified).

    Debbie Bucki Enables Satish Mohan's Dysfunctionalism

    Here is another in the series of top 10 reasons not to promote the dysfunctional political hack Debbie Bucki to Town Clerk/Tax receiver:

    Debbie Bucki has been Satish Mohan's deputy and partner in bringing in a new era of town government dysfunctionalism most recently exemplified by her bizarre and stupid position in favor of hiding facts from the taxpayers about the truth behind Satish Mohan's smoke and mirrors political budget.

    As previously stated, this thread practically writes itself. Bucki's false mantra of "professionalism, not politics" could not be further from the truth.

    the sad truth is that Debbie Bucki has been a main stage player in bringing about the existing and worsening "know nothing" era in Amherst Town Government. Town taxpayers' expectations could not possibly be lower and we are now being asked to promote and trust this political operative based upon her trite and simplistic campaign slogans while ignoring her dysfunctional governmental record? Debbie Bucki's so-called campaign is an insult to the intelligence of Amherst taxpayers.

    Is there anything that prevents the comptroller from releasing her own independent report? I thought she was independent of the TB and supervisor?

    I can accept your POV as well of the supervisor, but Liberty seems bent on having a political hack and policy wonk as the clerk in this town. Instead of trying to point out the best qualification(s) of the candidate Liberty backs, Liberty stains the name of liberty by slinging its POV with a shovel. As of yet I have not seen Liberty run for anything except to the pile to sling more.

    Comptroller Carroll is a Stong Professional

    Quote Originally Posted by Add It Up

    Comptroller Carroll is a strong and knowledgeable individual who even during and after being officially muzzled by cynical political hack Debbie Bucki (and the sinister Mohan) continued and continues to blurt out the inconsistencies and impossibilities she sees contained in the Bucki/Mohan "political" budget. The Bucki/Mohan tax increase that will most assuredly flow from this very deceptive cynical budget gambit process will not be lost on taxpayers who see through Bucki's attempts at political opportunism through secrecy in budget deliberations. Does Bucki really believe that this political budget which doesn't even include such basics as contractually agreed upon union salary increases should not thoroughly and publicly reviewed and critiqued by the Town Comptroller? Even Bucki supporters must be cringing now! What is Debbie Bucki trying to hide that she is so eager to foolishly attempt to muzzle one of the few town department heads (Carroll) who refuses to be anybody's fool. Budget discussions won't be stifled, but these vital public budget discussions have been adversely impacted by Bucki's insistence upon secrecy. Carroll is nobody's fool and will treat the Bucki/Mohan ploys for secrecy in budget deliberations like the childish pranks that they are.

    This will count as one of the top ten reasons not to support Bucki in her bid for promotion to Town Clerk/Tax Receiver. By the way, the tax receiver should know how to count.

    Debbi Bucki's Campaign Signs on Public Prperty/Wrong

    Debbie Bucki's campaign signs placed in the public spaces and rights of way (it seems her signs are in almost every public space) belie her trite, untrue and simplistic campaign slogans and actually are becoming hazards because they are traffic sightline impediments which are not being maintained against the wind and are basically like tumbleweeds with metal posts sticking out. I am stunned that the Town's public safety officers have not compelled her to remove these hazards. Her reckless and irresponsible appropriation of public spaces for her own political use is reprehensible, arrogant and elitist and shows her to be unfit for the promotion to town clerk she seeks.

    A week or so ago there was an article about political signs and it stated that in the TOA that they had to be placed on private property and could not create a hazard like on street corner lots.

    The public safety jeopardized and the aesthetics forfeited in the public domain due to the political hijacking and selfish antics of politicians like Debbie Bucki are abhorrent to ordinary citizens as well as good government advocates and should not be tolerated, much less rewarded.

    I hope the Town's safety officers take this opportunity to set Debbie Bucki straight on the difference between right and wrong. Maybe some of that will rub off on her work on the budget and she'll let us look behind the Mohan smoke screen to get the real gist of his shoddy and reckless budget deliberations work. Better that Debbie Bucki hide the unsightly and dangerous campaign signs and show us the budget deliberations/comptroller's opinions rather than vice versa.

    We are up to the 4 or 5 top reasons to vote no/Bucki!

    Arrogance, condescension and burying the sad truth. That is the true mantra of the Debbie Bucki for clerk campaign!
