I have to bitch about Lyons on this blog since my comments,
while all brilliant and on point, have been deleted.
Brendan Lyons has been on this small time jihad of the
Halfmoon race for supervisor. He has
exposed over spending (duh), over pay for benefits (duh), and pay to play
(duh). Please give this guy a big round
of applause for doing his freaking job.
I find this recent concern with government bullshit strange
as he has been quiet about Colonie, Albany, Guilderland, and any of the
counties of the capital region. These
governments would make Halfmoon look like a drop in the bucket. So what his beef with Halfmoon? Republicans running it?
Yeap.
In 2009 I attended one of the police hearings involving the
ghost tickets. You remember, the bulls
eye decals which were given in secrecy to certain individuals in city hall by
the police union so they can avoid traffic tickets. It was standing room only, and as I was
fashionably late, like always.
During one of the hearing breaks, I saw Corey Ellis and yes,
Brendan Lyons, whispering to each other.
Interesting since Brendan did not talk with anyone else. I was late though. I thought it was strange. The hearings resumed after the chatter.
So, it was obvious this scandal was brought into light just to
help Council clown Ellitist run for office.
And yes Brendan was all over it. Remember,
this was going on since 1992 and only when the “right” empty suit clown was
going to run for office did this scandal come to light.
We know what happened, the police chief, the Tuffoon was
quietly let go, the machine blogger (who was campaigning hard on her blog for
Ellitist) did her job of spying for the Mayor, and yes COREY ELLIS HIMSELF HAD
19 GHOST TICKETS!
What’s the lesson: Politicians are not the only ones who
have to appear to be ethical.
All self-serving bullshit aside, Brendan does have a fucking
good talent for sniffing this shit out. I
wish he would do more of it, with every form of government, and against both
parties. Not this under-developed
country press crap of picking on the small time corruption and intentionally
looking the other way on the big stuff.
