Party Business

Let me take a moment and let you know what I have been up to.

  1. I have been interviewing committee people for the Independence Party . All the folks names will be announced within a week or so. I am happy to say that Coz in the Southern Ulster is staying and is a great guy. I am happy to have him on our team.
  2. Met with the Chairman of the Legislature, Dave Donaldson.
  3. Chatted with Assemblyman Peter Lopez - who is also a great guy who always has an open door to the Independence Party. He made a great speech at the Republican Fundraiser in Saugerties. If anyone has a copy of the speech, I would like to get a copy of it.
  4. Had a healthy chat with Assemblyman Frank Skartados. (This is a guy that we may get behind in the future..... Business owner.... feels the pain of the taxpayer and walks the talk of the jobs line.
  5. Have a call into Assemblyman Kevin Cahill requesting a meeting.
  6. Have met with the Republican candidate and possible Democratic candidates for County Clerk.
  7. Have met with three of four possible County Judge candidates on the Republican side. Have not met with any of the Democratic Judge candidates yet. (none of the Democratic judge candidates have contacted me to seek the endorsement)
  8. Have attended and will continue to attend both Republican and Democratic Caucuses, and Legislative meetings.... (watching the Legislators vote)
  9. Attended the League of Women Voters discussion on Golden Hill as to whether or not it should continue to be run by Ulster County and rebuilt at a cost of approximately 90 million collars or if it should be privately run. Let me note that there was no request for stimulus money for the rebuild of Golden Hill in the submission to the Governor that our County Executive submitted. Not the Boxer Patterson, as the letter was addressed. This was a Hugh Reynolds catch. Perhaps Reynolds could apply for the County proof reader job for Vinny the Press Release guy.
  10. Attended several Center for Innovation job creation breakfasts. We need jobs in Ulster County!!!!
  11. Attended the Lodging Coalition annual meeting. Or as I called it the "Where is the off switch on John Guerin?" What the heck did Mike Hein do to John Guerin??????
  12. I hosted a fundraiser forMike Madsen in Kingston, Ward Nine with our County Comptroller Eliot Auerbach.
  13. I am working on a fundraiser for the Independence Party.
  14. I am working on enrolling college students in the Independence Party
  15. Launched HudsonValleyVoter.com, the Independence Party website for the Hudson Valley Independence Parties. The website will become a sources of information, party platform, events, candidate surveys, and other news about the party. If you are interested in staying informed via e-mail, please sign up by clicking on the "stay informed" button. We need enrollment, so if you are non-enrolled or in a party and are unhappy with your Party - join the Independence Party.
  16. We always need volunteers! Make this election season count make it your passion help me send the message to the Candidates that we WANT JOBS, TAX Reform, More Action and less Politics as usual and Leaders we can Trust.

  2. Len,
    Something you would have probably found out soon enough on your own, but I'll save you some time.
    John Guerin is an a**hole. Always was, always will be.

  3. Who is John Guerin for those of us who aren't in the know

  4. Guerin is one of the old guard Republicans who think they need to get more Conservative. He also happens to be Mario Catalano's brother in law. He killed his political career by challenging John Bonicac in a primary for a NY Senate seat instead of facing a rematch against Kevin Cahill.

    He is a blow hard who was despised by both sides of the aisles when he was in Albany. He is a nasty, bitter person who does not know how to get along with people.

  7. Most political position seekers that I know are involved in politics because they can't make it in the business world, but would rather be on the political dole funded by the taxpayer. WAKE UP TAXPAYERS! Vote for independent people who have a record of success in the business working world.
