Our fearless leader

This piece of video was recorded from the League of Women Voter Candidate forum, held on October 8 and the Cortlandville Town Hall. In attendance were John Daniels, Chairman of the Legislature, D-LD14 incumbent; Gene Waldbauer, R-LD13; and Susan Briggs, R-LD14 challenger.

I am posting this for those interested in the response given to a question by Connie Mack asking about communication between a Legislator and their constituents. In this case, the Mack property is in the County Airport RPZ (Runway Protection Zone) and is in the process of being taken to allow for the RPZ to be maintained.

Anyway, there is a lot more history behind this project but is not needed to share here in this post. The post is meant to serve as the way Mr. Daniels communicated with his constituents, claiming that the reason they were bringing up the fact they were losing their home was that this was a"ploy to get more money out of the County for their property".

Are you serious?


A follow up to this is in the October 29, 2009 Letter to the Editor section. John indicates that there was total communication from the beginning of the project... contrary to another letter published the SAME DAY from 7 families in the area who indicate that John has "NEVER talked to us or sent any information as all. He has done absolutely nothing to keep us informed of any developments concerning the airport."

Who are you going to believe?
