03/04/11 PORT CHESTER TOPIX MESSAGE BOARD: A Recap Of Last Nights Port Chester Mayoral Forum Hosted By The League Of Women Voters

Topix Port Chester

Port Chester - News March 4, 2011

A Recap Of Last Nights Port Chester Mayoral Forum Hosted By The League Of Women Voters (portchesterroundup.blogspot)
League Of Women Voters Forum Was Ba Ba Ba Ba Booooooring ........

Port Chester Residents Looking For Fireworks Were Disappointed Last Night Last Nights's public forum for the Port Chester mayoral candidates brought a few differences between Bart "The Bigot" Didden and Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla.

Some of the differences were ....

The decision on whether to spend another million dollars to appeal the voting rights decision and Bart's perception of the village finances.

Overall, incumbent Mayor Dennis Pilla clearly demonstrated progress on everything from code enforcement to corruption-fighting within the ranks, while Republican nominee and Trustee Bart Didden repeatedly tried in vain to put together an argument of "mismanagement."

Mayor Dennis Pilla noted the recent upgrade of Port Chester's bond rating to its highest ever, coming despite declining sales and mortgage taxes.

A couple times, the candidates were asked what they would do to foster more unity and tolerance among village residents.

Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden avoided the question by saying, "The divide is between government and the people."

Mayor Dennis Pilla said the community is mainly tolerant but that the board itself had to set a more civil tone, rather than fan the flames. "If you watch the meetings on TV, and I don't mean to disparage, but it's as though they're throwing lighter fluid on a fire that's already partially lit," the Mayor Pilla said.

One specific policy difference that I hadn't heard before was on the potential for sharing services with Rye and Rye Brook.

Mayor Dennis Pilla said he and the village manager met recently with Rye about sharing code-enforcement functions and fire services. He noted that Rye Brook already pays a fee in return for service from volunteer firefighters.

Bart "The Bigot" Didden dismissed the notion that the wealthy, less-racially-diverse neighboring communities wanted any deals with Port Chester.

"You think Rye Brook wants a lot to do with Port Chester? Asked Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden. The City of Rye, they don't want us over there. They don't want us in their park, they don't want us on their beach, and we have to maintain our rights and our ability.", Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot Didden Continued.

BART DIDDEN IS THE REAL LIFE SYBIL OF PORT CHESTER POLITICS

When you follow the history of Bart Didden you get the impression that Bart seems to have experienced multiple bizarre personality changes

If you don't believe that Bart Didden has changed then go to his website that details information about how Mayor Gerald Logan's administration operates.

This web site is still up and running on Bart Didden's company servers. Bart Diden goes on and on about how Mayor Logan pressured him to go to a meeting where he was extorted by Greg Wasser of G And S. Bart Didden Writes….

"Beginning in the summer of 2003, CVS and I completed our plans and submitted them for approval by the Village's Planning Commission. As with any application to the Village, we attended many meetings including with Mayor Logan in his office and the Board of Trustee's as a whole at a regularly scheduled meeting. During the early Fall of 2003,

I came across Mayor Logan at a local gas station, at which point Mayor Logan asked me to have a meeting with Gregg Wasser in regards to my CVS project.

I explained to Mayor Logan that I did not understand why I should attend such a meeting because –

• I had a fully executed contract with CVS
• I owned all the needed property
• I had the financial ability to complete the project
• My application was well on its way to receiving all required approvals

Mayor Logan begged me to have the meeting by telling me that G And;S and Gregg Wasser had certain rights to develop my property and he wanted me to meet with Wasser. Only after repeated requests that day, did I agree to have the meeting.

02/25/10 Port Chester Events - Mayoral Candidates To Debate This Wednesday

5A Port Chester mayoral candidates’ debate will be sponsored by the League of Women Voters on Wednesday, March 2 at the Port Chester High School.

The starting time is 7:30 p.m.

Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden and Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla will discuss the issues in the upcoming March 15th election.

The forum will be broadcast on Port Chester Public Access TV and lets see if the League of Women Voters are brave enough to address Bart Didden's racist views.

Tips For Bart "The Bigot" Didden

1. Repeat question to buy yourself more time.

2. When questions come up about your racial views on Hispanics read from the index cards the Republican Party has given you. Stick to the script. "It was four years ago","I was a political neophyte", "I now have come to regret those comments", etc., etc.

3. Does the question have any of the words that Sam Terenzi made you memorize. If so, then give a canned response, even if it ignores the League of Women Voters question.

$. Try not to appear angry on cable TV as you lose the debate.
