This team is going to clean MacClearie's clock.
Let's hope so!!!
I strongly supported Pete Maclearie for Mayor and before that Brendan Tobin for council. I consider that two biggest political mistakes I have ever made. They both promised open and honest Government and in my opinion they have failed to keep those promises.
I intend to vote for Michael Skudera and his team.
Are these the guys that have my house called at 9 pm asking who I would support for mayor? I was sickened by the tone of the questioner, and felt dirty when I hung up the phone.
Who paid for this study?
Dear Anonymous being at the time that these calls were going on, ony one team (Skudera's team) had announced they were running for mayor so who do you think was paying for that survey phone call?
I can't believe how much the truth is stretched in their bios. They'll make excellent politicians if residents are stupid enough to believe them and don't bother getting the facts.
Match up the candidates. Skudera's team has done nothing for the Borough. If you are an intelligent constituent you'll find that the other ticket has done more in 4 years than the previous administration did in 16.
You'll probably also find out that the same person (Mike Laughey) is writing the anonymous blobs as well as spinning his own tales. He has NEVER won an election because he continuously backs the wrong candidates. He backed the Mayor and Tobin in their victories, but did nothing to help. His dirty tactic politicking represents what is inherently wrong with politics in the Country. Just an angry man. Hopefully they'll stop with the "push polling' phone calls. Mr. Maclearie has done an excellent job, one of only 7 municpalities in the STATE that did not increase taxes this year. Given the financial crisis, that speaks volumes!
