Tidbits

Oswego County repealed the sales tax cap on gasoline during yesterday's board of legislature meeting.

Darrel Aubertine is complaining about the very same thing the Assembly did while he was a member, holding up legislation of a minority member. Like the ethics law he violated, he probably does not remember how the Assembly worked.

The Governor is on the trail, the snowmobile trail that is, while the state swept $1 million dollars from the trail fund this year, the governor makes good to prevent that from happening again and enhance the revenue as well.

The Town of Watertown wants the City of Watertown to relieve them of property taxes for an arena that will take away business from their own arena and the town wants the the Jefferson County Legislature to raise taxes to pay for it! Joe Barlett sure is creative, lets see how the respective bodies respond.

Now that it looks like Darrel Aubertine or Addie Jenne Russell would not qualify for the Tom Golisano campaign assistance funds because it will run against their base of support from the unions, Danger Democrat takes a swipe a Golisano.

And is this a sign Obama is losing some appeal?

as for your last question, hmm, isn't it far more likely that the drop-off in obama's campaign contributions is strongly tied to the end of the democratic nomination race? we're (thankfully) in a bit of a lull in the campaign right now. i bet those contributions will heat up again once the race does too.

scott, you make stuff up as you go. by the way, darrel has gotten credit for the snowmobile deal in real media outlets. just because you don't deem it necessary to include him here won't affect anything.

and how does THAT make you feel? do you need a bouquet to brighten your day?

Darrel had nothing to do with it. Dede and Joe Griffo are the ones who sent petitions to all the clubs. Darrel only promised all the clubs he would get the $1 million back. I see that happened. Another empty promise.

Why does Scott continue to post as anonymous?

Politic IV isn't the only one who see Darrels misleading comments and false promises.

I can't wait to see how much gas costs in Oswego County when they REINSTATE the gas tax. Who will you blame THEN, Scott Gray?
