Your Questions Danced Around
QUESTION
What would you do about zoning?
ANSWER
We would not alter zoning in any way unless, of course we do, but we're not going to, probably, yet, now that I think about it, neh, I'd leave it alone, I guess, except for changing it.
QUESTION
You have said that the fire district wouldn't be effected, but attorneys say that's not so. You have called for a referendum on zoning, but the town attorney points out that that is illegal in New York State. You have said that the WP3 project violates the Master Plan, but the Master Plan is clear that WP3 is within its guidelines. You have led people to believe that a village protects them from annexation, but state law makes it clear that it doesn't. Please explain.
ANSWER
I'm right. Everybody else is wrong.
QUESTION
You say that the village can be run for a under $150,000, but insurance alone will be more than that. Then there are huge legal bills, and the ongoing expenses of rental, salaries, etc. Explain.
ANSWER
I have been a full time resident of Woodbury for 35 years.
QUESTION
That doesn't explain your budget numbers.
ANSWER
I am an aide to State Senator Bill Larkin.
QUESTION
What does that have to do with my question?
ANSWER
Oh look, a kitty!
QUESTION
I just want an answer to my question.
ANSWER
I've spent as much time with you as I can, there's a campaign going on you know. We'll have answers for you right after the election.

This is the make it or break it campaign for Ralph.
One term, twenty years ago as a town councilman and turned out of office the first chance the voters got.
Two runs for county legislator and defeated worse the second time than the first.
Tossed out of his position as Chairman of the ZBA and certain not to be reappointed as a board member.
Most likely in his last term as chairman of the Woodbury Republican Committee.
His meal ticket, Larkin, running for what will be his own last term.
One might almost pity Ralph, but to do that you would have to be unaware of his carrer as a bully, getting what he wanted by threats and intimidation. Once the power starts to slip away, those threats mean less and less.
Ralph knows that this is his last throw of the dice, and he will pull out all stops.
The next two weeks will see the typical Caruso end-game at full blast: lies, rumors, unsigned flyers, last minute mailings filled with last minute bullshit.
The snake is badly wounded and he will be spitting venom.
And if you want to know why I am not signing my name you had better re-read what I've written here.

Hey Preservation guy/gal- could you please list anything that they have actually done? Fuchs being John Burke's daughter doesn't count for diddly- she hasn't attended a town board meeting, other than to see her dad sworn in, and has never volunteered...so forget that. Muloolly almost got the Planning Board sued because of his mouthing off at a man before the board. Pedersen is on the same page as the rest of them as far as suing the Town, and who the hell is Meyers? At the very least, the Community Party candidates have both professional and volunteer experience, and don't give a hoot about kissing Ralph's ass!

Dear "I'm voting for the Preservation team" nitwit.
You've repeated yourself again and again. You've posted that you agree with yourself (just like the Preservation team is endorsed by the Committee to Preserve Woodbury which is the same thing - so they can claim that they endorse themselves), but you refuse to answer any questions.
So, unless you are basically admitting that the Team lies, tell us...
Why does the kit your beloved, honest team gave out before the Village Vote say that there will be no change to zoning and now, after the Village vote, that zoning will be "tightened?"
Why do they keep saying the budget will be under $200,000, when insurance alone will be more than that?
Why do they say they researched this thoroughly and they never figured out (or never told us) that the village will create a financial crisis for the town and that starting just over a year from now the town will be without most of its funds?
Why did they make people think that having a village would protect us from annexation when the law on annexing from a town or from a village is exactly the same?
Answer that and then say how wonderful, honest, good, kind, loyal and true your preservation team is.
Just keep repeating yourself without answering and you are admitting that there are no honest explanations for their lies.

FROM THE TIMES HERALD RECORD!!

KJ gets $63,630 for housing
By Chris McKenna

October 21, 2006
Kiryas Joel - The Kiryas Joel Housing Authority is one of 34 New York agencies sharing $3.2 million in federal funds meant to help home renters become owners, the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced yesterday.
The cut for Kiryas Joel was $63,630. Those funds underwrite the salaries of employees who enroll recipients of Section 8 rent subsidies in job training, child care and other programs.

ALSO FROM THE TIMES HERALD RECORD:

Tax distribution deal OK’d
By Chris McKenna

October 21, 2006
Woodbury - Well, at least two issues are squared away.
Orange County will continue forwarding mortgage tax receipts to the Town of Woodbury until June 1, after which the twice-a-year checks will go to the new village government, Richard Golden, a lawyer for the town, said yesterday.
Sales taxes, which are shared with Orange County municipalities four times a year, will still go to the town in 2007, said Golden, who met with county officials to discuss the issue.
But as of January 2008, that money will go to the village – if the new village officials decide before Sept. 1 that they want the money, Golden said.
Those two revenue sources – sales and mortgage taxes – brought in roughly $2 million for Woodbury in 2005.

Is it true that Johnathon Swiller made a appearance at the Preservation open house on Sat at the Savory Grill and was hugged by all the Preservation party candidates . He was also given free coffee and begals . After that there was a debate and apon conclusion ,after learning that they are all telling the truth he announced that the thurs night debate is being called off . He then used his cell phone and called Cris Mele of the THR and told him to put out a press release notifying the Woodbury residents that it's been called off. He then announced to the 60 people in attendance that OCEAN is endorsing the entire preservation team .

Ralph's team is so pathetic I almost feel embarrassed for them.
All they can do is scream over and over "vote for Ralph."
People have posted a long list of Ralph's lies and said "explain one of them" and Ralph's guy can't even explain one. So he gets more and more desperate and says people are naive, they have egg on their face, everyone else lies and vote for Ralph.
He can't come up with one single answer.
I hope all of Woodbury reads this. They would see how absolutely worthless Ralph and his team are. How filled with lies they are. How they can't answer any questions. Not one.

Anonymous said...

Well, to begin with, I did go to the open house.
I was't hugged, but I shook hands with Ralph (Bill Mullooly refused to shake hands with me).
I had two cups of coffee and a small danish.
I would estimate that there were about 30 people there.
There was no debate. I was sitting talking to one fellow, when suddenly Carol Mullooly and Don Siebold came over and sat on either side of him.
Don immediately began talking, but in that the fellow and I were in a conversation, I am afraid that we ignored him. Then Don tried to hold a conversation with Carol across the fellow they were flanking, but Carol was too polite to do that.
Don left, Carol stayed and the three of us chatted for a while. Carol mentioned that some people active in politics have ulterior motives and you have to be careful of them. I agreed.
I didn't call Chris Mele. OCEAN's board is still discussing whom to endorse in all the upcoming elections. I personally haven't endorsed anyone yet.
And I am curious why you want the forum cancelled. Also I am curious why you would say that I called Chris Mele, in that, as far as I know, only the candidates themselves were told that he was the contact at the Record that I am working with in setting up the forum.

Actually, some interpretation of quantum physics postulate the power of intention/belief might actually affect one's reality... maybe even spin them off into alternate dimensions. One can only hope Ralph and his fawning cheer-squad can make a nice fuzzy place where reality bends to their will, and let the rest of us have a village that stays out of the poorhouse.

Anonymous said...

Heh, I'm still half-convinced they were just baiting us for our arguments. The other possibilities seem to be people new enough to the 'net to not understand the concept of a flame war, or who simply like to use four year old "I'm right!" tantrums as debating tools.

In any case, I'm probably over-worrying on this one. Its rather hard to last-minute shift your position when you have 3 others in writing, or make yourself look good with a budget fubar in excess of 6 digits. Definately getting a good seat at that debate, and some fresh notecards. Bright colors recommended, judging by the preservation posting up there.

Rather than being proud of, and trusting Mr. Caruso, I am personally offended by his actions. He has treated the residents of Woodbury like we're absolute idiots. He seems to think we are unable of thinking, questioning or weighing the pros and cons. He has asked us to live in HIS vacuum, where only HE provides the information, and only He decides what we will know and not know. Well Mr. Caruso, like your suits, you need to fast forward to 2006 and realize that we are all independent thinkers, and figured you and your tactics out many elections ago. Please go back to that rock you've been living under!

We are all impressed that you endorsed yourself.
It is not all that surprising that you keep posting that you agree with yourself.
But when you post your crap at 3:34 and then agree with yourself at 3:35, it seems like you're not even trying.
And if is so "funny how she left out the name of the business" that she worked for, imagine how out-right hilarious it is that in your letter to the Record you left out the name of the State Senator that you run errands for.

Leave him alone? Fine, first ask him to leave us alone. He lied to us and scared people into voting for a village that will have far more negative effects and far less positive value than he led us to believe.
Now he is running for mayor, again lying to us about the taxes, zoning, etc.
Get him to stop all that and we will be happy to stop talking about him.
Deal?

I'm not trying to say that Ralph is perfect. Nobody is. But I just don't understand. He tells you all the things you want to hear, and he's should know, he says it. Whats wrong with that? Just because you don't believe him, doesn't mean he is lying. And can you prove he lied? Weather its true or not, you have to prove it. So I don't get it.

Anonymous said...

The fact that some who started the Village with Ralph and now are against it, KNOW he lied. That's proof enough for me. The fact that Ralph puts statements in his kit and then changes them by 180 degrees once the village is created is double-talk, and again, proof that he lied. Keep living in your fantasy world, and Ralph will have you believing that rather than paying additional taxes, the Village will give you back money!!!

As usual Curious, you're wrong again. As for the person who just cannot believe Ralph lies, let's just see if he attends the forum. If he hasn't lied, then there should be no reason for him not to attend!

Anonymous said...

Proof that he's lying?
In the Preservation Kit meant to get people to vote for the Village he said there would be no change in zoning. After the vote that changed suddenly.
He said that the Village would have a budget of around $150,000 and we have since learned that municipal insurance alone (based on costs to the town) could be $250,000. Add to that the legal costs of setting up this Village and then all the other costs of running the village and the number he gave has no reality.
His "kit" created the impression that a village is protection against annexation. Don Siebold, Bart Bloom and other associates of Caruso's specifically said that you can't annex from a village, but that is totally false.
He claims that he thoroughly researched creating the village, but he either somehow missed (or just didn't tell us) about the huge effect it will have on the town's ability to stay solvent.
And that's just for starters.
I myself have three other major whoppers, but I'm saving them to ask at the forum (why tip him off to all the questions).
Yes, you are right, he tells us what he thinks we want to hear. But what he should be telling us is the truth. He isn't.
He (or you or his supporters - who knows) keep posting "Vote for Ralph" and the rest of us keep posting the same questions again and again and we haven't gotten one answer.

Whether someone was for or against creating a village (as I announced, I voted no) we have one now, so all of us are a part of it.
Being against creating a problem doesn't disqualify someone from being able to help solve that problem.
One could argue, in fact, that someone who creates a problem is the worst person to deal with it once it happens.

Anonymous said...

I'm not saying Ralph is perfect, like all of us I am sure he's made some mistakes. Also, he tends to lie all the time and he's a bully who tries to get even with anyone who doesn't do what he wants. But it isn't fair to hold that against him

And sure, he has tantrums when people disagree with him and I guess that like his boss Larkin he is willing to sell out Woodbury.
But, I don't understand why people are so mean to him. Live and let live, so why don't you just leave the poor man alone so he can go about his business of grabbing power and ruining our town.

If any of you are perfect, then you can criticize him, otherwise you should lay off, stop pointing out his lies, let him take over and don't be so mean.

Ralph has done so many good things for us. He's helped sue the town. He worked very hard to give us wrong information about the village. When Timber Ridge was reassessed he saw how important it was to bring in a lawyer who charged way too much for what we could have done for free. He's always thinking about us and all the ways that he can mislead us and take advantage of us. How many other people spend so much time on us?

I've lived here for over 25 years and I feel that we ought to give Ralph one more chance to get it right. After all, what's the worst that could happen other than the loss of our homes?

Give the guy a break. OK?

Well, Jonathan Swiller lets not beat around the bush. It's sounds to me that your mind is made up as to who you and OCEAN are supporting. You jumped to their defense so quickly, I think I've got whiplash. I have never seen you jump to the Preservation Teams defense.

It is wrong to judge Ralph just because of his past lies and bullying.

I have an idea about whom I will support, but I will listen at the forum, like all the rest of us, and then make a final decision.
As to OCEAN, I get one vote. The whole board must decide, as it does any time that we make endorsements.
As I made clear, I don't accept the argument that being opposed to the creation of the village disqualifies someone from running for the village board.
I don't think that voting for the village disqualifies someone.
The main criteria should be the candidate's honesty and ability.

Anonymous said...

You Caruso boosters still have not answered one single question about the misinformation that Ralph put out.
All you do is yell "NOT!" as if tha t suddenly makes lies into truth.
You want so much fro the rest of us to believe that Ralph is honest, then answer that long list of questions about the misleading stuff that Ralph has put out.
What you don't get (or can't deal with) is the fact that every time you say Ralph is honest and good while ignoring all of the very specific points made against Ralph all that you do is make clear that there is no defense for Ralph's lies. So all you can do is put your fingers in your ears and scream NEH-NEH.

Ralph and his team have no personal agenda or axe to grind like the Community Party. Why else would people who didn't want the village be candidates. They probabley have an agenda and its not good. THEY ARE MAD THE VILLAGE PASSED WHEN THEY DIDN'T WANT IT TO. PEOPLE BEWARE!!

So when did they start a college for prospective Mayors????

Anonymous said...

I asked the Community Party about their view of the village and they were honest enough to say that they were initially in favor of it until they researched the laws and found too many inconsistancies in The Preseveration Kit.

Its not about college, its about experience and Stephanie Berean-Weeks has none, a toll collector, a girl scout leader does not give you experience to be Mayor! I saw someone ask what business she owned ,I guess know one knows. Or does it even exist. Was that another one of her lies! Putting fancy title on small jobs abd not being forthcoming on your brochure is deceitful and in no way Mayor material!

Once again STOP LYING!! They were never for the Village, They were against the Village from one! STOP LYING TO THE PEOPLE!! They are making up lies to cover themselfs. Well the people will not be fooled!

I heard a rumor the BUILDERS have been funding the Community Party's campaign on the sly! Thats sounds like the builders would be running the show!

Tick-tock, tick-tock, dear Raphlings.
The time dwindles away, and yet you have still not answered even one of the questions about Ralphs little misinformation kit.
Do you think that no one notices that little omission my dear little Ralphlings?
Sorry, we have.

Yeah everybody knows the Community Party was against the village from day one! They are lying to try and make themselves look good. Well it not going to happen!

Everything in the kit is the TRUTH! All of you liars should be answering to the constant misinformation you keep giving the public! You have no proof of your lies!

To Jonathan Swiller, everybody knows you hate Ralph, after all you were the one that took pictures of his house and posted them on this website. So why LIE to everyone and say you have an idea who you will support but your not sure. You and everyone know that that's another one of your LIES. You are being deceitful to the public! You don't like Ralph! You make everything personal! You've known exactly who you were going to support. Stop acting impartial, when you are not!
STOP LYING!

I'm new to reading this blog, but I wasn't that suprised to read that Stephanie Berean-Weeks wants to be Mayor so her husband can be Chief of Police and that the builders could be funding their campaign. It makes sense, they did have a fundraiser at the central valley inn. The builders have meetings there often and unless the builders were paying for it, they wouldn't be able to afford it.

So THIS is Ralph's newest campaign strategy??? Ask all the yucks that can't spell or use proper grammar to come out and use a nonsensical argument to assault Uncle Betty and this lovely website. Better report to Ralph what a great job you're all doing so he can pat you on the head and give you all your bones!! You're a bunch of low-life mutts!

And I once went to a bar-mitzva reception at the Central Valley Inn and the people in KJ have bar mitzvas and the Community Party has a "u" in it and so does the word "builders."
And I just started reading this for the first time and I agree with everything that I've posted before and Ralph never lies and if I say that again and again and again no one will have any room to point out that I will never , never , never answer any questions about all the contradictions in Ralphs Perversion kit.

Why do you think they charged $35 a head you fool. It wasn't a sit down meal, and you had to pay cash for your drinks!

If all you have are spelling errors to make fun of. Then were doing great because everythin gI write is true! The answers you want are that everything is true in the packet, the only contradictions are the lies that are made up! You can't answer to lies!

You say we are low life mutts, you better look in the mirror you bunch of losers , you created a website to bash one man, who secretly you all probably admire. You are all a bunch of obsessed fools!

Oh bite me you loser! Youwant to make fun of spelling and grammer , your king uncle betty can't even type! STOP LYING TO THE PUBLIC!!!!!! STOP LYING!!!! They want facts not lies that whats out there is not true, stop trying to intimidate the residents of woodbury by trying to dupe them. They don't want to be bullied! So get your facts straight before you come on hear and act like a fool!

Uncle Betty said...

OK, my increasingly agitated Ralphling.
Either you and your pals posted that inane set of answers (and I do believe you did) and that backfired.

Or

You still haven't answered one single question.

And "you can't answer lies" doesn't quite cut it. Of course you can answer lies, that's what we've been doing for months, answering Ralph's lies.

Your move Babycakes

OK, I'll make it easy. How about you answer just one. Lets say you answer, hmmm lets see, theres so many to choose from. Umm, ok I got it. How much will our taxes go up? There, that should be an easy one. I know, i'll give you a multiple choice.
A. $0.00
B. $150,000. (like your kit said)
C. $300,00.
D. $1,000,000.
E. You just don't know.

This logic amazes me.

Someone has lied to you. Here is the party's written evidence with that lie on it, a top fire-law expert in NY state and verifiable quotes from insurance companies to prove that lie.

Clearly... THE PEOPLE WHO TALK ABOUT THAT EVIDENCE MUST BE LYING! VOTE LINE A... well, you probably know the rest by now. :P

Perhaps if they say it enough it will become a hypnotic chant, like "high density housing."

I'm going to sign off now and look at the stars on my own multiple acre lot which, until now I had not realized was high density. Ralph Caruso is my savior!

When pigs fly. :)

jonathan swiller doesn't know if he's voting for ralph caruso???

is this the same jonathan swiller who put "NOT" signs in front of caruso's name all over woodbury during last year's campaign?

it doesn't surprise me that he and chris mele are in cahoots

we all know what side the times herald record is on regarding the anti-kj movement

no objective newspaper would associate with a forum created by such a one-sided organization as ocean a.k.a. soca at work

Question for the other team - If the preservation packets you have been tossing on lawns, attaching to mailboxes and stuffing into trash cans is the "truth" then why don't you attend the Forum on Thursday, October 26th and defend it?

Anonymous said...

First off you people are spending too much time writing about Ralph. Don't give him any credit. His information was wrong and the Community Party proved it!

Ralphs people are angry about that, but I also hear some anger from the Community Party supporters. Stop all the banter back and fourth and stick to the facts. I would like to hear two things:
1. Preservation Party please answer the questions that have been raised about the wrong information and changes on platform issues presented in the original kit.

2. Community Party, what is your message other than countering what the Preservation kit has put together. What are you going to do for me?

Here is something that says it all...if everything in the "Kit" is true, why then was it placed in everyones garbage pail? Was it a Freudian Slip?

The CommUNITY party should be wary not just of Caruso (who will no doubt send plenty of people to attack their candidates while conveinently not having to stand and face questions of his own), but of all candidates involved.

Mr. Sutz seems like a nice guy... but does he have any understanding of the risk we face from "tweeking" our zoning? And, living near WP3's site as he does, can be be trusted to make tough decisions if it means saving some of our beautiful open space, rather than having it all go the way of Ace Farm? I would seriously recommend he, and everyone read Ms. Campbell's letter today of how this could tear our town apart financially and ruin any chances of having a case to stand on come annexation-time.

Whatever happens, this vote will determine the fate of Woodbury. I pray we still have a community in a few years.

Given the nature of our situation nobody may be able to give exact numbers before the election. Our very unconventional village will have to be ironed out with the State Dept, and they deal with elected officials, not candidates.

What this village does need is honest condidates who won't feed you a booklet of "facts" they can't back up, and will iron out the nuts and bolts of this new village in an honest, open manner which will save the taxpayers $$ and work competantly with our town board to safeguard Woodbury's future. I believe the CommUNITY party will do this, and brings not just one candidate but a diverse team to this effort.
