DOG DAYS OF THE CAMPAIGN

     It seems as if the pace of the campaign has slowed to a more reasonable tempo, but the tension is mounting. It is of great importance to the future of our Village that we pick the right slate, the right officers, the ones who value truth and honesty rather than dark secrets and hidden meetings. We need the administration that will face our problems head on and try to find ways to conquer them, and believe me, we have problems, particularly with money. We have problems with the way that UCO has been conducted over the past four years, the nastiness, the backbiting, the throw people under the bus mentality, the pettiness and the meanness, all epitomized from the top down. 

This being the last month before elections, it is the time when David Israel will come out with his trifold colored brochure contained in the Advocate package. A great deal of gloss with many lies within. I will bet that there will be no mention of the mess of a $5 million dollar paving job and the awful floods and pathetic drain system we now have. We will hear of no mention of the fact that they knew it was a poor job from the beginning and did nothing about it - oh, yes, excuse me, they did - they immorally, and perhaps illegally, certainly violating UCO bylaws, moved money around and spent money trying to get an unneeded and poorly fiscally thought out line of credit. But you will see nothing of this in the brochure. As far as the money on haNd, that is thanks to Dorothy Tetro who insisted on paying in the funds, fully funding them. If it were left to David Israel, Ed Black and Bob Marshall - we would be in the same lousy fix - almost bust again! 

     You will see boasting of WIFI and computerization. But
WIFI in the buildings have moved ahead because INDIVIDUAL buildings have done so and WPRF has installed at their facilities so what has David Israel done? Nothing, except try to get us involved in another multi million dollar contract which was no good again, from the start. As for the computerization - really, he has uploaded into the cloud to which HE controls the password and he cuts people off if they displease him (All hail to the despot). He has shredded and/or hidden hard copies of these records and it is your guess as to what he will do when he loses this election. I know what I believe he will do! 

     He will boast of things he had little or nothing to do with or projects that were carried on from prior administrations. I am sure he will boast about Obama's visit to the Village. Well, David Israel, that is thanks to the Democratic Club - not you!. His public service announcements, as he calls them, are placed on HIS PRIVATE BLOG - you know, the one that was supposed to be open to the Village and not restricted to the party faithful! His supposed Initiative is sent only to those who he wishes to keep informed. Hmmm.....wonder why my husband does not get it though he has requested it often!. 

    So be careful when you read of his supposed accomplishments and his supposed view toward the future. If he has not done good till now, if he is not open and transparent now - then why would he be in the future? If he has been fiscally irresponsible all this time  then why would he change? The answer is HE WILL NOT CHANGE and so he must go. In addition, as David Israel pushed his so called experience over that of mine, please note that my experience was in ADMINISTRATION, and CEOs from Fortune 500 companies are always moving and taking their administrative skills and talents with them, no matter what the specific business of the company. My experience comes with me. I worked with huge budgets; I worked with various groups of a community; I wrote proper POs and scanned contracts to within an inch of their lives to be sure that we were getting the best that we could. What did he do? Most of his UCO experience comes automatically with being President, so please do not be amazed at the so called years that he has. He went into the position with barely anything on the administrative side - and does it show!
    
     So we are asking that you evaluate all the information that is out there, attend the meetings where I can talk, listen, ask questions, be open minded and do not be afraid of any threats. Free country, am I not correct?! Vote for a slate that has new ideas that are quickly stolen and taken on by David Israel and thus we know that they will appeal to people. Vote for the slate that will run meetings and UCO with civility and open mindedness, with a willingness to talk with each other. Vote for the slate that has so many people endorsing it.

   VOTE ESTHER FOR PRESIDENT. VOTE THE SLATE. VOTE FOR THE VILLAGE.
