Represent Everyone??? - I Don't Think So!


Congratulations to Urban, Michelle, and Brooks for their wins with large margins.  

Well the Republican primary hoopla is over.  Now we can get on to the Nov. election hoopla.

However, I did noted this all warm and fuzzy  comment on the Pandora blog.

Thanks to all the Republican party members who voted for Urban, Brooks and Michelle - the ones trying to represent ALL citizens in this community!

And now - remember to vote again in November!"

Really?  ...."represent ALL citizens in this community?"  Nope, I don't think so!

Regarding the big wind issue with BP,  if you are actually a Hirschey govt. supporter who doesn't want industrial wind in CV and think these elected officials are the ticket to that outcome...then actually you had better hope they DON'T represent all the citizens of this community.

Consider the Zogby poll endorsed by the town costing around $10,000 actually indicated that more people are in favor of some kind of wind development than not.  So as I said, if you are truly anti wind and believe this Hirschey govt. is anti wind, then you better hope they don't truly attempt to represent the pro wind side fairly.  Because in order to do that you would have to have a compromise allowing wind development, and all the local and federal tax rip offs that support it.

Or consider our zoning law.  Many citizens on the pro wind side would like that zoning changed to not be so restrictive to better reflect what they want on the wind issue.  So are Hirschey and his candidates going to make some changes to the law to make sure these pro wind CFG people are accommodated and represented????  You better hope not!

First of all, it's a fantasy, because when you have a big controversial issue like this you simply can't represent everyone.  In fact as I have pointed out several times, in reality people don't vote to make sure the opposition and their policies get supported or enacted.  The reality is you don't want the other side represented.  That is why you voted for YOUR candidates...not theirs.

So this represent everyone is just more feel good warm and fuzzy  election hoopla and BS!

At least be honest about it!

  1. There you go again Art, just running your mouth and your opinion. Like it was important. Why do you not go take some pics of our place instead of slapping everyone around.You take nice photos.Are you looking for attention? do you need that? You are a blogger who has no bloggers with you. What is the point other than your ego???

  2. Thanks for actually making my point for me. The point is people just like you read it, and run at the mouth posting your opinion

    Thanks

    And according to what I see my opinion on the latest town zoning screw up recently got the attention of the town board,the planning board,the zba, and the town attorney. Too bad you can't keep up.
