The democrat numbers are building in Woodbury and Ralph has cried wolf too many times....the voters of Woodbury have made their case. Ralph is a force to be KEPT OUT of politics at all costs. Now let's get on the road to making Woodbury one of the really nice places to live again...no ugly politics during the year just to grandstand on television (yes Ralph and cronies, I mean you).

Ralph the zombie will be back next year.Got to go get his share of brains for now.

James was, by far and away, the strongest one running not even including how hard he worked for it...there's no way Frank would've won without him!

Also, turnout looks like it was pretty good for an off-year election...do we have a percent yet?

Obviously 6:26am lives in a fantasy world-Burke does Ralph's bidding, and that is well-known. Ralph ain't going anywhere.

As for politics being ugly-just wait and see what happens when the true cost of the pond comes in and the new guys push for the automated garbage.

Young James desrves to have his ass kissed by Manny, Frank and company, because HE did an excellent job in running his OWN campaign-Palermo (and Burke to a certain extent) rode in on his coat-tails. My hope is that he continues to be an independent thinker, and that he step away from the idiots on the Democratic committee who think that THEY got him in office!
You really don't need them to get where you want to be James!

James took 27.2%, Frank 26.13%, Ralph 23.85% and George 22.82%.

Those numbers aren't entirely accurate being as how people got to vote for 2 council candidates.

I think the poster was looking for a turnout percentage though.

James Skoufis said...

Just want to thank everyone who came out and voted - whether for me or not - and express my gratitude for being given the opportunity to stay on the board and continue serving Woodbury.

I also want to thank my opponents for running a clean and civil campaign. I now know first-hand how much time and commitment is required of being a candidate and I applaud all those who ran - as I said throughout the campaign, I'll be attentive and receptive to EVERYONE, so I welcome any dialogue or ideas, regardless of which camp you were in during the election.

Now let's get to work on the issues facing Woodbury.

Well said,James!

OK, time to make some concrete suggestions. Computerize Town Hall completely. That includes payroll and having the supervisor learn how to use email. Nail down the contracts with OUR employees quickly. Do it with respect and decency. Fair on all sides. Times are tough for all. Do not waste OUR money on the legal end of this as they have and continue to do. Figure out something with the Village and the Town--to eliminate one or the other. After all, what did the Village gain for us? It certainly does not stop annexation like we were all told. Work towards the common good. Guess after you all read this you might suggest I go back to lah-lah land. Just food for thought.

While the 6:51 poster has some worthwhile suggestions, he/she clearly does not understand how the police contract has been negotiated. The town labor attorney has been used only on very rare occasions, so to suggest that we are driving up legal costs with the prolonged contract is simply incorrect - the board's negotiating team has been handling the vast majority of the meetings without the labor attorney.

it was obviously someone with bias, an employee? perhaps?

To the 1:00am poster, Why don't ya look into it a little closer, even a know it all like yourself may find things a little suprising! Get your facts straight or keep your opinions to yourself!

Diana and O'Dwyer need to remove their signs!

Why not do the responsible thing....take them down yourself and put them in the garbage, if they haven't picked them up by now, they probably won't! Do the responsible thing!

James Skoufis said...

Where do I still have signs up? I'll go out and take them down tonight.

Anonymous said...

IF you pick up the signs that is not yours along the highway and some one reports you can you be charged for theft?

Give Me A break said...

Who will report you and to whom? The sign police! Yea smart guy call the police and tell them that Mr or Mrs public person just removed three signs of a loser candidates off public property, see how fast they come out to investgate that dumb ass! Just have some backbone and throw them in the garbage!

Anonymous said...

As a resident of Woodbury that does not own the property where a sign is located why should I clean up after the candidates?

Why don't you pick them up "Give me a Break"?

To the last poster, you missed the point dumbass!

Is that all you are worried about, morons, the signs? Aren't you worried about the quality of the people that were elected?

dumb

Woodbury Moron Club Member said...

I'm even more happy about the quality of the people that we didn't elect, case in point, Ralph (need I say more) Pedersen (again need I say more) or Cheech Kelemen (The real GREEN party)

Thank You
Woodbury Moron Club

Anonymous said...

You must be the president of the Moron Club, if you are happy because you help to elect the candidates that are "not so bad" as opposed to those who are "bad".

So if we elected a murderer, you would be happy as long as it wasn't Ralph? You moron.

To the 1:55 poster Can we vote for you to be VP of the Moron Club?
