When Mickey Kearns ran for NY state Assemblyman this past spring, he was the epitome of the angry taxpayer. He was going to be the reformer, willing to stand up to Sheldon Silver. Imagine my surprise when I received his taxpayer funded mailer yesterday. It is filled with what former mayor James Griffin used to refer to as "fluff". Mickey encouraging children to read. Mickey posing with an area Boy Scout. Mickey talking with senior citizens. Mickey at the West Seneca Library. Lots of pictures of Mickey standing around while the rest of us are working. Very little in the way of reform or substance.
Is this what we have to look forward to for the next 30 years? Feelgood nonsense? Jack Quinn Sr. did nothing in Congress but hand out flags that had "flown over the Capital." Pipsqueak Gallivan had his South Buffalo News column, where he taught us about swimming safety tips and the Do's and Dont's of trick-or-treating. During the campaign, Mickey spoke about preventing more families from leaving the state and how he was going to stand up to Silver. Come on, Mickey! Talk is cheap. When is the press conference opposing the rumored $30,000/yr pay raises for state lawmakers? If the people wanted a rubber stamp/ political follower, they would have elected "11,000 Doors" Fahey.
Good thing for the taxpayers, most of your constituents get the real story from the Blogger and not Kearns' feel-good, taxpayer funded nonsense.
You're a nameless, faceless individual, who has to post anonymously because you have something to hide. You speak for yourself only. I have a full time job, and I've accomplished more in my volunteer activities than you ever will. I'm sorry that your friend Mickey is a fraud, but don't blame it on me. Remember, this website is #3 on my to do list after work and coaching.I'm flattered that you choose to read it. Please tell us what you do during the day that makes you so special?
ReplyDeleteTell your readers the time you tried to bribe Brian Higgins and he told you to go Fuck yourself.
ReplyDeleteI honestly wish I knew what you were talking about. I haven't talked to Higgins in years. When and where did this happen and who is telling you this? Sorry, but it's not true. Why would I have to bribe anyone? I have a full time job and two lucrative hobbies.
DeleteWhere would I see Higgins? I spend most of my time in South Bflo, not at fancy cottages or in Washington.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your honesty. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not always right . However, if I write something, it is sincere. I wish your son luck. At least you are honest. The more people in power that hate me, the more I know I've done the right thing. They don't hate me, they hate the truth.
