Friends, I have recently been thinking about this whole mayoral control conundrum. As interesting as I’ve found it that Mayor Duffy, David Gantt and Joe Morelle were able to agree on a mutual plan to reward their supporters and create a whole new level of patronage; the fact that the unions have vowed to withhold [...]

Tom Suozzi Teetering On The Edge Of Defeat — I Wonder If Monroe County Democrats Are Concerned
I’ve been meaning to get to this — Democrat Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi is behind in his re-election – a race he was expected to win big. He is currently trailing his Republican opponent by 390 votes out of 250,000 cast.
Suozzi made a name for himself across the state speaking out against our crushing property [...]
Proving Once Again That We Ask The Right Questions
I’m thinking about opening a political consulting business — Cincinnatus & Associates. I saw mustardstreet had a link to a City News piece pointing out the problems of local Democrats being tied to Sheldon Silver and the dysfunction of Albany.
It seemed to me that I’d seen someone else make that point. Let’s see who was [...]
Democrats Take The Low Road In Attempt To Take Monroe County Legislature
Unable to find real people to back up their charges, Monroe County Democrats actually sent out mailings using stock photos available on the internet and claimed they were real Monroe County Republicans fed up with the local GOP.
Guess what? They were found unfair. From the Democrat and Chronicle:
The problem the committee had was with the [...]
With Leaders Like Joe Morelle And Harry Bronson How Can Democrats Campaign On Reform?
This year’s county legislature races will be interesting once things heat up. There is one question Democrats are going to have to figure out: how can they criticize Republicans on their alleged political abuses when they are led by Joe Morelle and Harry Bronson?
Morelle is the Monroe County Democratic Chairman and a state Assemblyman and [...]
Bob Duffy And City Council Should be Ashamed Of Himself — Ren Square In Doubt
I’ve never been a big fan of Ren Square. But I have to give credit to County Executive Maggie Brooks for her vision on this project. I think her support was well intentioned — revitalize a blighted area with a project that should help spur economic development.
But Monroe County Democrats, Bob Duffy and City Council the latest, [...]
Mustardstreet Is Back In Business — Taking Morelle and Gumina To Task For Questionable Tactics In Village Elections!
A lesser person would not be so free to admit this, but I’m starting to think I may be a nerd! I’m really excited — mustardstreet.blogspot.com is back in business.
Philbrick and his team have had some issues –I don’t know what they are/were, but they have their first new post in quite a while. It’s [...]
A Job Too Big — Even For The Cat Whisperer?
Those must be some really messed up cats if Joe Morelle’s staying away.
Liz Benjamin reported yesterday that Governor Paterson asked Monroe County’s very own Joe “the Cat Whisperer” Morelle to be state party chairman. For those new to monroerising.com, we call Morelle the Cat Whisperer because of his success in managing the local Democratic Party. [...]
The Winners and Losers of 2008 – Rochester Edition
Friends, in response to Fred Dicker’s article in yesterday’s NY Post, I would like to present a list of the winners and losers of 2008 in Rochester and Upstate Politics. Please feel free to add any that I may fail to recognize.

Joe Robach, Jim Alesi: Both incumbent State Senators faced heavy opposition from the Monroe County Democratic [...]
County Democrats Complain About Monroe County Budget — Offer No Solutions!
I’m not sure what is more outrageous. County Democrats having disgraced former County Finance Director Paul Haney be their point person on budget matters, or County Republican’s failure to slap him down every time he opens his mouth.
We’ve reminded you before that Haney was the Finance Director under Taxin’ Tom Frey. Here’s what we said [...]
