Peekskill 2011 Races w/ Endorsements

Dear Readers:

Here is a look at the local Peekskill races:

Mayor:
Candidates: Mary Foster (D-WF)--Tony Washington (R-C)

Peekskill being home to more than it's share of low income residents makes this not a simple campaign. It is not like its neighbors where lower taxes is primary concern. They do have an obligation to their neediest, which both parties agree must be met. How and how much lies the difference. Their Police Department handles a wider variety of crimes that it's neighbors. Public safety is their highest priority, as the poor are most preyed upon by the nefarious. To do all this and not scare away the tax paying base is what this election is about. It is not about racism, though some would like to make it that.

First thing I noticed is that so far at least twice Mayor Foster has joined with State Senator Greg Ball at the Senators events. It was only last November that as far as the Peekskill Democrats were concerned he was the devil incarnate. I can understand Greg's motives, he is after all State Senator of entire district 4 which includes Peekskill, I is Mary's that perplex me. Does she alienate her voters by being seen with the Senator? After all they were told how wrong he is for the job.

Second thing I noticed, is the Senator Ball has not endorsed the GOP team like he did with the Yorktown GOP team. Is it an oversight? Is he playing the odds?

Third thing is there are no debates. Neither team has gone to the mat to make them happen. No debates only help incumbents.

Prediction:

All election with an incumbent running becomes a referendum on their leadership. The question is has Mary ticked off enough people to lose? The other question is Tony a reasonable alternative? Answer those question and you have your winner.

My Pick: Washington

Council:
Candidates: Don Bennett (D-WF)--Steve Woods (R-C)--Darren Rigger (D-WF)---Barbara Kerasiotes (R-C)---Kathleen E. Talbot (D-WF)--Joe Brady (R-C)

Rigger was Democrat Chairman when Democrats swept all Republican out of office. Bennett has been in office 8 years, is that too long? I think not, but 12 years, maybe? Brady was past Councilman in the nineties. Has he kept up with the changes in the political and economic landscape is the question he must address.

Democrats have has one party rule for four years. Have the residents grown dissatisfied with that non-balance? Not having checks and balance is never a good thing.

Prediction:

Democrats will not lose majority. That was easy to predict. However, voters will split ticket and elect one Democrat and one Republican just to keep things interesting.

My Picks: Rigger(extensive resume, from Presidential to local, plus working for most powerful N.Y.Congressman an asset that would help Peekskill)---Woods---Kerasiotes (needed to make sure opposition side heard).


This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

Yorktown 2011 Race With Endorsements

Dear Readers:

Here is a look at the Yorktown Town Board races:

Supervisor Candidates:
Don Peters (D-I-WF)----Michael Grace (R)---Susan Siegel (C-Yorktown Better Government)

As New York is one of four states that allow the addition of votes on all lines, Peters with three has an advantage. Peter's biggest negative is perception that his laid back approach meant he was not in charge. Two years ago he let Siegal define him and perception stuck Grace has made same mistake by allowing Siegel to define him as a part time Supervisor should he win. Nobody knows Yorktown better than Peters. Nobody knows government better than Siegel. Nobody knows the law and regulations better than Grace.
Running Yorktown like a fiefdom hurts Siegel.

Prediction:
This race in real terms boils down to Grace and Peters. Grace would win in a landslide if New York did not allow counting votes on all lines, but it does. Peters would win if Siegel was not on the ballot, but she is. Siegel is the spoiler. Who ever votes Siegel pulls from the least win this race.

My Pick: Peters will by attrition.

Council Candidates:
Dave Paganelli (R-C-I) ---Nick Bianco (R-C-I) ----Rich Campanero (D-WF)--James Martoano (D-WF)

Martorano and Bianco suffer from long-term-incumbent-itis. Mortorano 20 years. Bianco 16 years. How much "throw the bums out" mentality plays in this race will be a factor remains to be seen, but it is a factor they can do nothing about. Paganelli and Campanaro have difficult task of un-seating incumbents. Can they make the case that change will be better for Yorktown is question they must adress.

Bianco and Martorano have run adds taking credit for everything good in Yorktown. However, life is two dimensional. The must also take responsibility for Rt. 6 and Rt. 202 corridors and an increasingly empty Jefferson Valley Mall. They must take responsibility for perception that Yorktown is not business friendly. Can not blame everything on economy, as vacant store fronts were going on before economy tanked.

Capanero is this years Paganelli from two year ago, running for name recognition, though association with YAC helps a lot. Also Camanero is a one note candidate advocating more playing fields and open space. This is not this years primary focus for voters. Paganelli came very close last time out. Lead primary pack with most votes even more that Supervisor candidates. He is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. His candidacy threatens the re-election of either Martorano or Bianco . His presence on the Board would change entire demeanor of Town Government's interaction with residents. Will not tolerate rudeness or fools.

Prediction:

Voters will split ticket voting in one incumbent and one newbie, while voting out one incumbent and one newbie. It will be interesting to see which incumbent voters want back.

My Pick: Paganelli time has come, will be biggest vote getter. Bianco is incumbent chosen to stay an consituant service saves his day.

Looking At Wsechester District 1 & 4 Races

Dear Readers:

Here is a quick snap shot of some upcoming local races as we head into November 8.

Westchester Legislative District 4:
Candidates:Mike Kaplowitz (D-WP)---Terrence Murphy (R-C-I)

Kaplowitz is the sitting incumbent. Murphy is at present a Yorktown Councilman. This by the numbers will be Kaplowitz's most difficult races. Murphy has 3 lines, Kaplowitz 2. Obstacles for Kaplowitz are 1) long term incumbent. "throw the bums out" mentality" is in play. Not much he can do about that. 2) State of county government and taxes. He has to separate himself from Democrat majority, yet at the same time take credit for being part of the negative tax increase from this years budget. 3) Affordable housing settlement. Leaves a bad taste in most voters mouth.

Murphy's problem is that it is very difficult to un-seat an incumbent, minus a scandal. Mike is so beige that the scandal option is out. Also when it comes to budget numbers, Mike is the smartest person in the room. Smarter than the other legislators. Murphy has to make the case that change in representation is in District 4's best interest. Mike has made his case, Murphy has not closed the deal yet. Prediction: Winner squeaks by with barely over 50% of the vote.

MY PICK: Even though Murphy has R-C-I, Kaplowitz barely pulls it out in a recount


Westchester Legislative District 1:
Candidates: Mike Kane (D-WP)---John Testa (R-C-I)

Testa is the sitting incumbent and County Executive is Republican, those plusses help John. Kane has same problem as Murphy, un-seating a sitting incumbent. Testa's problem is that as of now he is in the super minority. Democrats on Board of Legislators do not need Republicans for veto over-rides. That may change after November's elections. Very good chance for Republicans to pick up one or two seats. If that happens, it makes John a player should he win re-election.
If Kane should win, he will still be part of majority, as Democrats will not lose that, no matter what happens in other races.

Kane on the other hand has to articulate why he can serve District 1 better than present representation. His palm card highlights issues I find hard to equate to County Government. It does however highlight Mike's idealism, which in and of itself is not a bad thing. Character and principal's do matter. Prediction: No competitive race in Cortlandt hurts Testa, helps Mike as only Democrats on most of ballot. John needs a better showing in Peekskill than last race because of Cortlandt. Who ever wins Yorktown wins race.
Kane while being a good candidate, has an uphill climb.

MY PICK: Testa, having R-C-I is the difference


Next week I look at Peekskill and Yorktown. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

Citizen vs. Citizen Must End

Dear Readers:

DIVIDE AND CONQUER, is a great war battle plan that has been adopted to politics. IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH, and there-by the protections of our freedoms and liberties. That is why politicians wishing to take them away have utilized the opening battle plan. DIVIDE AND CONQUER, you see in the class warfare utilized by politicians regarding taxes as a way to redistribute wealth and punish success. They(put your boogey man here) have too much, more than they need the greedy so and so's, let us tax and/or take that excess and after we the government get our take as the middleman, give you the crumbs. You are too stupid to achieve success yourself, you are the perpetual victims of the (put your boogey man here), and so we will take care of you, and you will keep us in office as way of thanks in perpetuity. Never mind that it has never been proven that the punishment of success has made the less successful, successful. It did however grow government and increase its power over you.

Private property owned by private citizens and your rights be damned!!!!. We the government will use environmental and zoning codes to usurp your rights of ownership. Oh, by the way, we are coming into your home, and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. Toilets, shower heads light bulbs, we use the myth of man-made global warming and the dunces that still believe in it to divided and so weaken your defense of your ownership. Guess what? We the government have succeeded,

DIVIDE AND CONQUER, pits the smokers against the non-smokers, the successful vs.the envious of that success, auto users vs. flat earthers', property owners vs. renters and doing so, we can trample all the rights we want. The problem with these laws against private business, private property, and private citizens regarding a legal product presumes our rights come from government and therefore can be taken away. The problem lies within the premise of our Constitution and the founding document of our country the Declaration of Independence. That premise being that our rights come from a higher power and CANNOT be taken away, even for our own good. Right now the ruling class want you to believe our rights come from the government. THEY DO NOT!! The power of the government comes from the consent of the governed. This is what makes our government different.

You think I am being extreme, well you should remember, the Supreme Court, presided over by nine popes ruled that carbon-dioxide is a greenhouse gas to be regulated by the government. Carbon-dioxide, that which you exhale with every breath you take, is to be viewed as a pollutant. That is the door that has been opened, and your freedom of movement is in serious danger. Do you really think the high cost of energy is by accident?

This year is a local election year it is your local governments that are trampling rights. To protect your rights you MUST protect every bodies' rights. You must not, allow government to DIVIDE AND CONQUER. You must this November speak up and say I DO NOT CONSENT. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

How Creeping Tyranny Starts

Dear Readers:

"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that." This quote was made last week by Democrat Beverly Perdue, the governor of North Carolina at a rotary club event in Cary, NC.

Recently I wrote a column where former House Speaker Democrat Nancy Pelosi said Republicans and Democrats should come together so that it would not matter who won elections. Last week I wrote about lawmakers and a web site that wish you to tattle on your fellow citizens for doing perfectly legal actions.

I told you this is where tyranny starts. It started with "political correctness", which is an end run around free speech. Like hate crime designation legislation, it criminalizes thought and word, equating them with actual deed. Then you have the politics of envy. Class warfare, where you are to hate those who do better than you as if the only way that could happen is by someway or some how nefarious deeds. No personal responsibility on your part. No action by choice or omission by you can possibly be the reason. You are a perpetual victim.

History does not start when you wake up in the morning. Nor did it start when you were born. History is. The lessons of history are there only if you look. The reason why history is not put on the level with math and English is so it will be easier to re-write it. Still if you look hard enough, the true lessons of history can not be erased.

That lesson which we are living now is how creeping tyranny starts. I can only happen if you allow the ruling class to convince you that certain citizens, thoughts, achievements are enemies of the people. The ruling class codifies itself by making you feel ,less and less an individual. "American Exceptionalism" is the celebration of the achievement of individual accomplishment. Thinking outside the box. Building the better mouse trap. Being all you can be. Overcoming and conquering life's road blocks. This is the American Dream and the political class wishes in the name of control, to wipe that out.

You can stop this by turning out of office those who wish to advance this creeping tyranny. That an elected Governor can actually want people to agree to postpone constitutionally mandated elections is part of that advance. Your liberties are at stake. You have a political class at war with you way of life. Only you can stop it. If you leave the battle to others, it will only lead to defeat. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
