City Conservative Committee Endorsements for 2015

Through endorsements, Wilson-Pakula waivers, and recommendations, we have put together a FULL TICKET for the City of Kingston.  As the second most influential party in city politics (behind only the Democrats), we felt it important to offer a full ticket.

City Conservative Committee Candidate Decisions

The City of Kingston Conservative Executive Committee interviewed candidates and offer endorsements, Wilson-Pakula waivers, or recommendations for all city positions, i.e. Mayor, Alderman-at-Large, and 9 Alderman.

“Endorsement” refers to a candidate who sought our line and gained our full support.

“Wilson-Pakula Waiver” refers to either: (a) a candidate who is running for office that we are willing to support but who has not actively sought our endorsement; OR, (b) is offered to more than 1 candidate in a race to signify our intent to grant permission for a primary.

“Recommendation” refers to a situation where no candidate is running or where we cannot support the declared candidates.  In such a situation, we recommend a man or a woman in the ward or district of honor and integrity who we think would serve the public well.

After careful consideration, the City Committee has made the following decisions:

Mayor -- We have granted Wilson-Pakulas to authorize a primary between SHAYNE GALLO and RON POLACCO.

Alderman-at-Large  -- A Wilson-Pakula was granted to JEANETTE PROVENZANO should she decide to seek our line.  Currently, she is not seeking our line.

Ward 1 Alderman Recommendation:  We do not support either declared candidate.  AL TEETSEL served previously as 1st Ward Alderman.  We consider him a man of integrity and would be willing to offer our full endorsement should he choose to run.

Ward 2 Alderman Endorsement given to BRIAN SECHE.  Brian has been a good Alderman and a voice of reason on the Council.

Ward 3 Alderman Recommendation.  We do not support either declared candidate..  Mr. Champ-Doran is a man of integrity but his philosophy is not conservative.  Thus, while we respect him, we cannot endorse his candidacy.  NATE HOROWITZ was a very good Alderman of this ward. Should he decide to run again, we would openly support his candidacy

Ward 4 Alderman Wilson-Pakula granted to NINA DAWSON.  Nina has not approached us for an endorsement.  We believe she has done a good job as Alderman and we offer her a Wilson-Pakula waiver

Ward 5 Alderman Wilson-Pakula granted to BILL CAREY.  Bill has not approached us for an endorsement.  We believe he has done a good job as Alderman and we offer him a Wilson-Pakula waiver.

Ward 6 Alderman Endorsement given to JOE CORCORAN.  Joe is a retired police officer and a successful small business man.  He just missed last time and we believe he would be a solid addition to the Council.

Ward 7 Alderman Endorsement given to MARY ANN MILLS.  Alderwoman Mills impressed our committee with her answers.  We believe she is a conservative Democrat similar to Lew Kirshcner, John Dwyer, TR Gallo, and other conservative Democrats who have carried our banner over the years.

Ward 8 Alderman Wilson-Pakula granted to STEVE SCHABOT.  Steve has not approached us for an endorsement.  We believe he has done a good job as Alderman and we offer him a Wilson-Pakula waiver.

Ward 9 Alderman Endorsement given to DEBBIE BROWN.  Alderwoman Brown has been a stellar member of the Council and we are honored to support her re-election efforts.  We feel the Council needs Debbie back for another 2 years.

I see Blaber wrote about you on his blog today. Any comment?

9:48,

The time I have been granted in this world by God is precious. I choose not to waste it responding to unimportant things and unimportant people.

amen to you Mr.Cahill in your response to 9:48pm

Hey 9:48, now there are 2 articles on Blaber's blog about Cahill. I guess that means Blaber must be out of jail again.

I understand Sinagra is resigned today or tonight and that Jerry Brown is going to become chair.

Blaber is a degenerate miscreant. Who cares what he has to say? He has stabbed in the back everyone who tried to help him other than one politically
active couple. He has a long career ahead in the NYS prison system.

Two quick questions and I don't mean this as being rude, was that blog right is Tony still the Chairman. Secondly, I agree that it's Blaber but he just may have messed up from his clever trick of wanting people to know as long as they can't prove it. Just another Persona he's trying rip off from Gotti, who's idol is a murdering gangster that extorted millions of dollars doing awful things? He wasn't just some charasmatic guy you would see on tv. blaber's own personality is like that, he only sees his skill at politics not the harm he has caused his friends and the people that care about him because of his drug use. There is a talent, he has made himself a local celebrity and the fact that the dem committee and elected officials still use him after all his baggage is impressive. I'm not a hater, the guy obviously brings something to the table or is likable. I don't know the young man so I don't know which. I do know that far more accomplished people twice or three times his age have been sent packing for a lot less. Our main point in conclusion was that on the blog, The author stated that he talked to Sinagra himself directly yesterday. I know you don't get along with Tony and I don't blame you but you must know someone that does at least talk to Sinagra and can confirm that it was Blaber that spoke with him. I'm sure Sinagra would give him up, the blog was not that nice to Sinagra in the story written about you either. What he said about you Mr. Cahill is just childish and not worth responding but I agree with his assessment a three way race would give our party a Republican Mayor. Especially with Gallo on the Conservative line. The only thing that makes me question it being Blaber is look at his old blog and look at this one. This is someone with a deep knowledge not just about politics but the process, the terminology, election law. Did he really learn all that working for Accorn? Sinagra can get to the bottom of this once and for all. To quote Goodfellas: it's called Karma! And you my friend finally slipped up!

Sinagra told his committee he was resigning. Now, he is apparently saying that he is resigning but has resigned yet. Political doublespeak.

As for the rest, Blaber is just not worth discussing. The blog is his. That is clear.

Truth be told, I have just spent 30 seconds discussing him and have wasted those 30 seconds. I will waste no more time.

They are childish Hoffay and Reynolds and Blaber is just a plan drug addict.

Will you be giving a Wilson to DiMicco for ALd at large?

11:32,

If Scott approached me or my committee members and asked, we would definitely consider it.

12:44, you need to realize the political blog with the four dead fishes displayed is just there for entertainment purposes. Throughout the years, I have seen many a local political blog come and go. Only Cahill on Kingston has withstood the test of time.
That being said; Benjamin Franklin has been quoted in his "Poor Richard's Almanac" as saying,"Visitors are like fish; they stink after three days". You might want to apply that analogy to the Blog with the four dead fishes.
