County Legislature Update — Frankel and Powell Pander to Special Interests — Dollinger a No Show!
Gentle Reader:
We have been so busy with our team coverage of Client Number 9’s fall from grace that we have had to push other stories out a few days. We’ve finally had a chance to talk to our sources about Tuesday night’s County Legislature meeting.
Sandy Frankel and Willa Powell both spoke at the public forum — evidently, pandering to the special interests is the latest form of campaigning for the state Senate. The Legislature clerk called Richard Dollinger’s name to speak and he wasn’t at the meeting. Maybe Mr. Dollinger is trying to get confirmation that his deal for a judgeship is still on the table. After all, as the saying goes, all deals die with the king, or in the case Client Number 9. If its not too late, maybe he can re-apply for his Town Judge job back — I bet Supervisor Sandy would support that.
Sandy Frankel droned on about what a great liberal she is — after all Brighton offers benefits to people who do not meet New York State’s legal definition of marriage. She promised to be back next month and do some shameless self promotion about the wonderful green initiatives she has sponsored as Supervisor.
Willa Powell was there and she told a story about how a young lesbian was shopping at the mall in Greece and encountered an anti-gay rally and was subjected to all kinds of abuse — due in no small part to that darn Maggie Brooks appealing the court decision requiring the County provide benefits to people who are not legally recognized as married in New York.
This story sounds like complete non-sense. I would think that would be the cause of the week for all of these newly energized fringe groups. There would have been press conferences, candle light vigils and condemnation of Maggie Brooks for encourage an attitude of intolerance.
We will have a post a little latter about Democratic Party embarrassment Jason Koon. He cut ER’s senior nutrition program and he actually got 13 of the 14 Democrats in the Legislature to vote against a measure helping low income seniors in his community.
