This is the type of digging that can bring this house of crap down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-29860135725913664122007-08-17T09:26:00.000-05:002007-08-17T09:26:00.000-05:008:37, the position taken by Mr. Mallon may be correct. It sounds logical. He'd best check all the candidates in a priamry, because you never know who might sneak through and become your nominee (evidence our incumbent surveyor). And you're right, voters shouldn't be expected to check such formalities.<BR/><BR/>But...<BR/><BR/>Where were the two party chairs on this issue?<BR/><BR/>You'd better bet your bottom dollar that from now on:<BR/><BR/>1. BEFORE filing deadlines, the County Chair will check all his own candidates to make sure residency, felonies, etc., are not an issue.<BR/><BR/>2. AFTER the deadlines, opposing party chairs will do the same, and, if they discover irregularities, frankly: they may wait until the last possible minute to do the "gotcha" after the opposing party can easily rectify the problem. That's not good citizenship, but, sadly, it is politics as usual.<BR/><BR/>Never a dull moment, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-78784324167219917452007-08-17T08:59:00.000-05:002007-08-17T08:59:00.000-05:00Does anyone know those two gentlemen that spoke up about Abdullah's residency fraud at the CCC meeting on August 6th?<BR/><BR/>We need to find those men and check if they made any formal citizen complaints through proper channels. Something tells me that they likely did.<BR/><BR/>Their anger at that meeting was the type of anger seemed to me to be the kind of anger that comes from frustration from not being heard for a long time.<BR/><BR/>I smell something sour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-58058675545880421902007-08-17T08:37:00.000-05:002007-08-17T08:37:00.000-05:00I love this<BR/><BR/>"The board doesn't have the legal authority to issue a challenge on its own," Mallon said.
