The final slate for the UCO election in March has been published in this BLOG, A synopsis of my work has also been published - now a few issues arise.
-
I am going to ask you, Delegates all, to return me to Office, I ask this in consideration of four years of solid accomplishments, and promise of more results to come.
-
A key request, is to elect a slate of Officers and Executive Board members who will work with me as President to bring great accomplishments to our Village. Following is my slate of nominees that I would like you to elect to office; in short they have my full endorsement.

DAVE ISRAEL'S SLATE FOR 2014 ELECTION TO OFFICE
PRESIDENT
David Israel
-
VICE PRESIDENT
Robert Marshall,
Joy Vestal
-
CORRESPONDING SEC'Y
Pat Sealander
RECORDING SEC'Y
Phyllis Siegelman
TREASURER
Howard O'Brien
EXECUTIVE BOARD
Roberta Boehm-Fromkin, Ruth Bernhard-Dreiss, Ken Davis, George Franklin, David Givens, Dominic Guarnagia, Antoinette Salometo, David Saxon, Lori Torres, Jean Komis.
Vote in these folks who come to office to serve, not in opportunistic search of power. It is clear, that Ms. Sutofsky is attempting to pack the Executive Board with obstructive people in order to prevent any forward movement on my programs. Don't let her succeed in this plan.
-
Finally, who should not be elected under any circumstances, and why:
-
1) Esther Sutofsky..... No Experience on Committees or any other organ of UCO Government. Zero record of service to our Village, an opportunist seeking power, not service.
-
2) Jerry Karpf..... Jerry is suing UCO, seeking your Email addresses and $5,392,000.00 dollars. why would you vote for someone who is suing you??
-
3) Ed Grossman..... Principally known for disrupting our Delegate Assembly meetings and other meetings. Ed has no record of service to our Village, only a record of disruption. Why would anyone nominate such a person, or vote for him.??
-
4) Olga Wolkenstein..... Like Mr. Grossman, Olga is famous for disruption of the Delegate Assembly and other UCO meetings. In my opinion, she would be naught but a disruptive presence in UCO. She also has no significant record of service to our Village.

Straightforward and very helpful, Dave. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSays it all.
ReplyDeleteYou said it Dave. The gang of four need to be kept FAR away from UCO business.
ReplyDeleteDave…..I think you did a great job managing this Village and i hope the people realize that and re-elect you for another term. I am 100% in favor of your re-election. You have bought the Village up to the 21st Century.
ReplyDeleteThe gang of four are nothing but troublemakers and hope the people of the Village in their wisdom see fit not to vote for them
Sorry I'm not a delegate, Dave. You certainly would have my vote and if elected, I will continue to support you. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
ReplyDeletePhenomenally and extraordinarily well said as usual. It'll make a great slate for the entire Village even though, at this time, the opposition may not agree. Good luck to all those you mentioned. Looking forward to seeing you with bells on....especially at the installation luncheon.
ReplyDeleteIt's all been said by others but I also want you to know that I am in your corner and trying to educate people as to what a great job UCO has done since you've been in office. Fortunately I am a delegate and will be voting for your slate. Good luck.

There is ABSOLUTELY no competition
ReplyDeletefor your Position, or that matter
any other Officer, on your Slate.
You have my support..

Now we have two slates, one recommended by Dave and one recommended by Esther. That's helpful.
ReplyDeleteBoth blogs began as venues for people of diverse opinions to speak up. The administrators of both blogs soon found, though, that such political polarizations were setting in, it was like fighting the tide to keep their blogs from becoming one-sided. We can argue all day about who has been the more to blame for this, and we can SAY "our blog is the public blog"; the fact is this polarization has happened. We have a two-party system, and I think I'm just as glad.
Now the arguing still takes place, but when it does, it takes place "across blogs." "Cross-blog" arguing? This is pretty funny when I think about it––even though I've been a participant.
This is where we are now, and I think the air is clearer for it.
