After reading the Amherst Bee it looks pretty clear the Amherst Republicans are going to walk away with 09 elections. Solid candidates with a clear message. No wonder Dennis Ward is living in Kenmore, no wait I thought he was the Amherst Dem chair. Money Money Manna will be out next year as Deputy Toxic and in the extreme minority,odds are he switches and becomes a Republican.
Beyond what the Bee printed, what does anyone on this forum know, for sure, about the any of the three council member candidates?Originally Posted by dragonslayer
Hopefully this will spill over into Cheektowaga

Reading the Bee, Barry Weinstein will continue with his medical practice going. He will have hours 2 mornings and 1 afternoon for his patients. So if he has hours on Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon and again on Thursday morning, along with some evening hours, that might just leave Monday and Friday full days to address resident concerns. No wonder he was vehamently opposed to Docs resolution for an 8 hr a day position. Didn't Mr. Ward close his law business while he was TS?

What if the Hokey-Pokey IS what it's all about?
Good point, Smiley. And if the voters are stupid enough to vote him in as a PART-TIME SUPERVISOR they deserve what they get! I hope Weinsteins opponent pays close attention to what Weinstein was quoted as saying! However, I hope the Dems do better than Alice Kryzinor it will be a cake walk for Weinstein. Maybe Kindel isn't half bad after all!
I agree with the point about Kindel. You get an honest days' work out of him, and you know with no uncertainty where he stands on an issue.
are you kidding --Dan Ward still practiced law during when he was TS. Anyways, that resolution was the stupidest and most political thing I have ever seen and just a very sad move by a very sad TS. The position of TS has already been defined as full-time. If that is the only way to create irrelevant issues, then they truly are desperate.
please tell me that you are not serious with trying to raise this issue as a serious one.
According to HP, that won't be the case....however I do not think he will be willing to listen to the residents because I believe he was behind the resolution to limit the public's right to speak..........................at the town board meetings. But I think HP is all for limiting the publics right to speak unless it's for their right to limit the right to representation(which is one way that the public does speak).

I believe the Rep. hands were tied with this endorsement. BW has name recognition, the almighty $$$ to run a campaign and truthfully there was an extreme lack of interest in any of the TB positions. Makes you wonder.
can anyone translate what right view is saying? it is not only illogical, ethnocentric, but incomprehensible.

If it weren't for the United States Military, there would be NO United States of America !

Anyone who thinks the Town Supervisor can afford to spend 30% of his time doing another job does not understand the job. This is a big Town with, if I may say so, very demanding residents. I have had dealings with Weinstein, both when he was a county legislator and on the Town Board. He is great at letting other people do all the work and then taking a lot of credit. He is not a "worker" except for his own gain. The people of Amherst deserve a lot better.
this very petty and so typical WNY -- no wonder why people want to downsize local government -- so we have two less idiots raising dumb issues like this one.
if i must here it is - it doesn't matter the number of hours a person puts into the job but rather how effectively he/she does the job. If that was the criteria then Mohan who spents 70 hours a week at Town Hall would be considered an amazing TS. but he stinks. so very sad and transparent as to the motivation. Dan Ward continued his law practice as did Grelick as did Tom A. and I don't recall anyone making it an issue because it wasn't or shouldn't have been.
Amazingly, one week after BW decides to officially run, this "issue" is brought up. are you kidding?
And the resolution was drafted in a way that the TS would have to be at town hall 8 hours a day monday through friday -- in this day and age, (myself included), I do work at home and on the road almost as much as I do at the plant. it doesn't matter if somebody works on issues at 2 in the morning or 2 in the afternoon -- all that matters is that it got done and done well.
you want to take issue with BW's platform -- feel free. But this issue is laughable if anyone, and I mean anyone wants to make this an issue then BW will win in a landslide.
