We may not know much about him but really after EIGHT YEARS of McNeil its time for a change. We need workers not chart flippers.

Now THAT makes a hell of alot of sense...sure, lets elect someone who does NOT appear at public meetings, and doesn't even think enough about the residents to even show up at the post office to Meet and greet!! Go ahead and vote for Mr. Levine- like throwing a baby in the ocean and yelling swim! Moron.

sounds good JS GUESS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL WITH ANYONE RUNNING WITH JOHN BURK "GIVE MR. BURKE A TEAM HE CAN WORK WITH" VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC LINE ON ELECTION DAY YOU FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT" ...

Hey Supervisor John, should all Woodbury residents expect a two night before the election campaign flyer blitz, this time just put the flyers in the garbage can, intstead of on them.

Who is this ????????????

Anonymous said...

If you're referring to the picture, it's none other than Carlton Levine- the poor soul who the Dems convinced to run for town board along with Bo "three strikes you're out" Haviland. From what I understand, he hasn't ever attended Woodbury board meetings of any type, never served on any committee, and has absolutely no idea of what's going on, other than what Manny and his peeps have brainwashed him to belive.

Why does Burke need new people- the fab five seem to be working ok together???

Vote McNEILL & ARONOWITZ, they keep their promises!

Thats "Chinless Levine" wanted in three states for impersonating a candidate!

Anonymous said...

Question: what does McNEILL do for a living? Does anyone know anything about her, does she even live in Woodbury and has somebody ever been inside her home? Carlton is very busy working to pay the taxes to live here so he does not have time to attend flip chart meetings!

Anonymous said...

If Carlton can't make any type of meeting why should we even consider him?

Most residents of Woodbury work so they can pay their taxes as well.

Hey piss ant, if you knew anything about local politics, to run for office in Woodbury you must reside here.

Is it true that the Village Board's attorney knew about the August 31, 2006 letter regarding the purchase of the land where the water towers for KJ are located?

When he was hired in November to be the attorney for the Village Board, he stayed on as the Planning Board attorney...... So why didn't he mentioned this letter to the mayor and her trustees last November or December?

Anonymous said...

Why would the attorney have known about it? He wasn't the Town Board's attorney, and according to Big John's "My View", Burke himself was the one who wrote back and forth to KJ. Stop trying to act like this mess is the Village's fault- ole "spit & run" John has gotten us into more messes than you know with his "shoot from the hip" and "ask questions later" attitude!

I have been taking a break from Uncle Betty for a while and have been catching upon all the blogs. It seems that people are not realizing what the Village Board is actually doing. Even among themselves. There are 3 members,one being the Mayor herself, that are leaving the other 2 trustees in the dark about key issues. Let me remind you Ms Weeks and other trustees, you were not elected for your knowledge, intellect, personality, or experience. You people were brought in for the simple fact that you were a warm body. You were nobodies before the election, and will be nobodies again after you loose your seat. Hopfully the new Board will have at least some clue on how to run the Village, without having Mayor GOLDEN make all the decisions. Let me ask you something, couldn't alot of the questions you have about legal issues be answerwed by those who have been through these types of dealing, (at no cost to me and other tax payers) instead of running to an attorney who could care less about the outcome as long as he gets paid?

Ms Weeks feels that she should have control over each department in Town. Why? You don't have a clue on how to do the job you have now, why would you want to f**k up every other department of the Town.

I'm not saying that you pretended to know the job before you were elected, someone had to do it. But don't sit there with your giant ego, and say that you know best. You know CRAP!

Anonymous said...

I'd love to know if Bo or Carlton know anything about procedure, executive session, Robert's Rules, or anything at all about conduct of a Town Board member? Like one of the posters said before, too bad they don't have to pass a test first.

I'm glad the Mayor and Trustees don't subscribe to this hogwosh and back-biting by those self-proclaimed know-it-alls! I'm also thankful that the Mayor and Trustees choose not to read all this crap, and quietly go about their business of running the Village. You have all done and will hopefully continue to do a great job, amidst all the bullshit. Thank you!

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM???

Not consulting an attorney on legal issues is a recipe for disaster! As per your theory, why don't we just ask Ralph Caruso everything, since he claims to have all the answers and has been through it before...we all see how 100% WRONG he was about the Village and the Fire District!!

Better yet, since you obviously think that YOU have all the answers, why not step up to the plate at a Village meeting and offer your services!!

Now do you see how stupid your senseless remark was???

Heres a run down on who needs to go away:

Bo (I'm just a woodchuck) Havaland

And lastly Lorraine (why won't anyone endorse me) McNeil

Last I knew, the Mayor doesn't run the Village, just like the Supervisor doesn't run the Town, even though both may believe otherwise. Isn't that why both have 4 member boards???

To the posted of the above, other people in this Town understand what is happening don't give just one person credit for speaking out.

How can an attorney receive a letter addressed to him in August 2006 as the Town Planning Board attorney forget to mention it the Village Board in November 2006?

Mr. Golden who is the Village Board Attorney and now the Village Planning Board Attorney as of June 2007, knew about the August 2006 letter from Orange County.

How can any Village Board member blame anyone else for the lack of this letter being forgotten when It was addressed to Mr. Golden.

One would think with any letter that mentioned land was being acquired by any municipality that borders Woodbury would be hard to forget.

Isn't Cliff Weeks co-chair of the Community Party that supported his wife last November?

Is he upset that he hasn't been appointed Village Police Chief yet?

OK, so now everything that happens that goes against you anonymous posters' beliefs is Mr. Golden's fault?? Seems like you're grasping at straws. And since there are only a handful of people that attend the Village board meetings, I wonder who the disgruntled people could be???Duh??? Doesn't take a genius pal...

Anonymous said...

I thought this election was for Town board members?? Why are the Village people even being discussed at this point? Oh how silly of me,those elections are just around the corner, and now that certain egos haven't been stroked enough, and in some cases totally ignored, there must be payback! I get it!

Anonymous said...

When will the Village Board meetings be aired for all of us at home to watch? Many of us work one or two jobs in order to afford to live in Woodbury. Most us don't have the extra time to attend meetings in person.

Please broadcast the Village meetings!

Anonymous said...

and what about posting a agenda and meeting minutes ?

Anonymous said...

If the Town Board can't even get their minutes posted, how do you expect the Village to get theirs done?

Overheard at Jay's, Village Trustee Kling (aka "I'll do anything my attorney tells me to do")was discussing the Highway Department. He stated that he felt from a business and legal point of view, it made no sense to continue to have that department stay with the Town. Can the Village just take that department? He also went on to say that he was not going to run again as he felt his time volunteering was better spent working with the Fire Department, Boy Scouts, etc. Everyone knows these know it alls get paid. What's up with that?

Anonymous said...

What!!! The Village Board members promised to keep everything the same. Now they want to take over the Highway Dept?
I moved here from Rockland County because my Town was made into a Village. Every year Village taxes went up and up. They continued to take over more and more of the town services which should of made our town taxes go down. The town taxes went down pennies and the Village taxes went up hundreds of dollars.
Please Village Officials do not change anything. Give us taxpayers a break. We are happy with the way things are now.

Blame the asses that voted YES to have the stupid Village!

For the record, wasn't Kling one of the gentlemen who declined to take a salary (if you want to call the pittance paid for that load of aggravation a salary??)

Anonymous said...

It's not the village that's the problem .It's the group that's now in office .They have NO experience at running a government..You can say what you want about Mr. Caruso but at least he would have kept his word and not create a monster of government that the current board seems to be doing...In March of 2008 the voters have the ability to change the makeup of the board as 2 trustee positions are up for election ..........We can only hope that the group that really wanted the village in the 1st place will put up 2 good candidates

Anonymous said...

Caruso didn't know his butt from a whole in the ground. If he had understood the law, he would have read where districts are dissolved. Village has no choice but to accept responsibility for things. I can't answer for the highway, but it does seem to sort of make sense. DPW would cover all of the workings. As far as taxes going up, or I should say, not going down, sounds like the Town should obviously lower taxes as they are losing more and more.

Anonymous said...

If the highway department is turned over to the village, do we still need the supervisor?

Anonymous said...

IN last weeks THR legal notices there were at least 2 notices that spoke of joint Town/village fire dept. meetings .......so it appears that Mr Caruso does know what he's talking about and the current village attorney is misinformed or is it Mr Kling who has created this problem as he is involved with the Woodbury fire dept. and doen't want the village elected officials( and the public ) to know the details of the fire district budget.

Given that it is nearly Halloween, I believe the last poster is printing his "trick", as Ralph and company sure are no "treat"! Every word out of Ralph's sour mouth has been a lie or a self-serving exaggeration. Get a life and stop boring us with your "I love Ralph" campaign!

Folks,

Just so you get it straight, the meetings you are speaking of are a deal that the Fire District is trying to do in concert with Harriman and Monroe. The Village officials (including myself) are not involved. Mr. Caruso is still wrong as this is a last ditch effort to save the Fire District. There can not be a Joint Fire District without covering a part of another Town or Village. All the lawyers agree that the Fire District is no more as of 1/1/08. Regarding the budget, the numbers have all been public for some time now. The Village has been including them in their plans should the Fire District fall through. If you have any questions on this, please feel free to contact me. I am in the phone book.

A sincere thanks Mr. Kling...it's just a shame that you hard working individuals have to take time out of your busy days to respond to the garbage and lies posted on this blog. Thankfully, it seems like there are only a few faithfully "disturbed" participants who insist on printing their nonsense over and over again.

Another sincere thanks to the rest of the Village Board as well. You continue to take the high road, and treat all residents with dignity and respect, even though quite often they don't deserve it, given the way they treat you. My only wish is that the board would stay intact, with the current members deciding to run again for re-election. Continuity for the first four years would be a great thing!

Mike K. keep up the good work, don't let others with there own agenda confuse what your trying to do, including those that were elected with you, for it seems that you are all not on the same sheet of music, stay the course, and don't let the bastards get you down, You have more support then you know!

Mr. Caruso should tell the lawmakers that their laws are all wrong...He seems to think he knows what they really mean.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for keeping us updated Mike, and don't let the anonymous negativity get you down. It should be underscored (again!) that the Village board is actually taking the time to consult lawyers and work carefully through this highly unusual village creation process as the law requires. Granted, that might not have "saved us as much money" as Mr. Caruso, who doesn't need lawyers. Evidently he would have relied on his sheer charisma to shield the town from lawsuits.

It's easy for people to knock others on this site...but not one of them has the guts to do it in public. Keep hiding folks, you're safe here. Leave the changing of the world to those that are not afraid to stick their necks out. If you don't have the courage to do so yourself, at least stand behind the people who are sincere about making a difference without personal gain.

At least the Village of Woodbury is trying. More than it appears the Town of Woodbury did. They knew there was a problem and Burke admitted it when he ran to the papers. Why didn't they try to stop it then? Would love to he that BS story. Better have an executive session and come up with a whopper to tell the public Mr. Burke!

To the last post...give John
Burke a break, after all...he did send two letters to K.J...He obviously thought that was all that was required! Why didn't you take them to court then John?

Notice that Szegedin's letter threatens legal action against Woodbury, yet John chose to write to the infamously absent-minded Mayor Wieder. If John's so big and bad, why not take on Szegedin??

The Village of K.J. should be more like us and want to get thier asses kicked everytime they go to court, I love living in loserville. Keep writing letters John and hoping that gool ole Ralph will save us all from big bad K.J. good job John!

KJ and their administration has to be loving the fact that the Woodbury Village & Town boards are battling. Shows how weak we really are.

Anonymous said...

The Town Board and the Village Board are not "battling" as the last poster stated. Stop spreading rumors. Differences of opinions are human nature...that's what makes life interesting. If we all thought alike, we would have no need for this blog!

Anonymous said...

Oh, pardon me. I guess the fact that at least three of the five Town Board members denouncing the Village Board at "other than Town Board meetings" is supposed to be ignored?? Hardly!

Anonymous said...

The last poster has just revealed themselves...because I was at the "other than Town Hall" meeting that you are referencing. You forget...the very same people that are "denouncing" the village are the ones that pushed for it. Oh, I forget, It would have been okay had Mr. Caruso won. The two boards are not fueding as you suggest. Get over it. You would like nothing more than for this to be true. The fact is you can't stand that the boards get along. Even the members of the Town Board don't always agree aongst themselves...individuality is God given. Anyone who thinks everyone should think alike needs to start their own country.

Anonymous said...

You don't seem to know what the hell you're talking about. Please define "get along" when you've got Town board members publicly pushing for condemnation of the Village Board?? In fact, I was told that at one such public meeting, even the candidates running for John were pushing for it too! Your idea of getting along is warped, at best.
