Not good news. Gallo will have to step up the intensity of his campaign. At the very least Noble vs Gallo is a single line race. I am not comfortable handing over the Mayor seat to the republican candidate. and I am republican.....but I vote for the candidate and issue. Toyed with registering as an NOP. Not a straight party line voter. I will say that to vote for Noble never entered my mind. He is not ready and has not established his own identity . Too easily influenced by other party members who consider it a vendetta rather than picking a true leader. All mayoral candidates in this year race has flaws but some flaws are more egregious than the others.

Shouldn't Pollaco take his signs down now? He isn't in a primary. I probably wouldn't mind if it weren't such a big primary....and the fact that when I called BOE...I was told he was in a primary and I should hold for a supervisor. Confused.....

You are the Conservative chairman now that Polacco is the Conservative nominee are you supporting him? Or are you supporting Gallo?

7:03,

I said publicly that I would support whomever won the Conservative line. I am a man of my word. Polacco is the Conservative Party nominee. As Chairman, I support our nominee.

No. There is a Green Party write in primary. If Ron wishes to run for that, he can put up signs.

Richard T. Cahill Jr. said...

That being said, I hope the Democrats have the Common Sense to vote Gallo in the primary. Noble is being controlled by democrat politicos like Tom Hoffay. If Noble wins the position of Mayor, it will be Tom Hoffay who runs the city.

I hope people tune in or show up to the debate Monday. I think after seeing both men discuss the issues of the city, it will be clear to any reasonable person that Gallo is the one who knows what's going on, doesn't let other people make decisions for him, and works tirelessly to keep things moving forward. Kingston has the highest bond rating it has EVER had...that alone makes Gallo get my vote. The $40,000 fishing dock grant was a disaster under Noble's management...how I can I believe he could handle a multi-million dollar budget? I can't. Gallo in September!

fyi If Gallo loses Polacco will win. Either way the Noble`s will be out of jobs.
and the Difalco will still be there. Thank you democrat committee A Noble\Noble ticket is corrupt. Be sure to attend the debate.

No reason to attend believe freeman will live stream it. Dems rule the City whoever wins primary wins in November. Remember sottile won twice.

Not really corrupt yet but can lead to corruption when you have family trying to protect other family members. Or they can sometimes get a sense of entitlement which can lead one down the garden path to corruption or improprieties.
