WDT:GOP voters back Felt

Two out of Three

Espada Gone

Paladino put the boots to Lazio in the bid for the GOP.  Doheny run a good campaign and defeated Hoffman the conservative candidate for the GOP.  I thought Espada would win but the voters spoke and eliminated his ring of corruption and embarrassment to the Democratic leaders.

Time to Vote in the Primary

Just a reminder,
GET OUT AND VOTE!

Scozzafava Endorses McGrath

The RINO Scozzafava has endorsed Mr. McGrath for the 122nd Assembly district. Republicans have turned the backs on her and the Democrats have embraced her with open arms. She was a deciding factor in the 23rd Congressional race with Owens and Hoffman.

She is still trying to sway the minds of her loyal followers and they are following her right off the road and into the ditch. There must be a promise in the wind and how will this affect her future. Get the whole speech on You-Tube link.

Primary Time

Doheny and Hoffman appear to be in a dead heat. Paladino has gained many points on Lazio and Tuesday is time to for the voters to make their choice. These are two races that will have a major affect in the November election. Who will support the loser or who will hold tight to the end. Get out and vote it will make a difference.

Burns vrs Flavin for County Legislator

Robert Flavin

Mr. Flavin just finished a run for city legislator and just fell short of getting elected in his first bid as elected official. Mr. Flavin worked at Claxton Medical Center in the Maintenance Department, very active sportsman, and has been involved in the Wally restocking program. He is currently challenging Mr. Burns who currently represents Ogdensburg in District 1. The Burns' name has been synonymous with politics. Mr. Burns has demonstrated concern, insight and knowledge of the issues facing St. Lawrence County.

I have spoken to Mr. Burns on many county issues and he always had knowledge of the topic and responded to my concerns. With little press and very little literature on Mr. Flavin I am not sure what his issues are.

This race has had little press but it should be a concern to the residents of Ogdensburg.

Ritchie Vrs Aubertine

I was on route 37 tonight and notice Senator Aubertine Signs must of come in.  They peppered the highway on Rt. 37 along Ogdensburg. I think the state owns the edge of the road and as a State Senator, Mr. Aubertine must feel that is were his signs should be placed.  The problem I see, the edge of the state highway does not vote and very few were in front of homes.

We are still waiting on the results of Mr. Aubertine's challege of Mrs. Ritchie's petitions.  It appears the Lawyers in Albany are very busy trying to oust Mrs. Ritchie from the Taxpayers Line.  The BOE will have to figure that one out.  THIS IS THE RACE TO WATCH.

Heuvelton's Labor Days Parade Today

The grand finale is today with the Parade and the Fireworks display tonight at dusk. Should be a great time for the family. If you are coming from Ogdensburg the bridge will not be an issue.

118th Assembly Candidates - Forsythe vrs Russell

Dave Forsythe is challenging Addie Russell for the 118th River District Assembly seat. Job creation has been a big issue for St. Lawrence County and is on the top of the list for our legislative candidates. This should be an interesting race and should bring light to Mrs. Russell's record for North Country votes. Mr. Forsythe is a county legislator and his record has been very conservative. Voters are getting sick of government spending......budgets increasing....Who will have the answers, Forsythe or Russell.

Rangel spends $111,000 on legal fees in 2 months

Congressman Rangel, one of the many outstanding Democrats fighting criminal charges. He is using his campaign money, donated to him so he could be re-elected, but it looks like he will be using it to stay out of jail. When will these jokers smarten up! It usually starts off small with a little nepotism and the next thing you know it becomes a free for all.

Lazio Claims He Can Create 1 Million Jobs

Rick Lazio, GOP governor candidate has promised New York one million jobs if he is elected.  Courting the Canadians, cutting some taxes, and tapping Fort Drums dependents may add 100 jobs but that is far from a million. How much can our taxes be cut, would we go from the highest taxed state to the 3rd highest taxed state. That should bring in all kinds of jobs.  Maybe, Rick is just trying to get elected.

Journal:Inmate Reduction Worries OCF

Ogdensburg Correctional Facility has continually lost inmates and dorm continue to close. Population continues to drop and employees are getting nerves. Current inmate population is around 300 down about 160 inmates. Every dorm closed in NNY is another five Correctional Officers not coming home. Time to see the light, and the idea that Albany and our legislators are will to play games with our lives is very upsetting.
