PBA demands apology from Domagalski- He'll give it to you on Wednesday


The State Police Officers Benevolent Association is demanding an apology from the Jim Domagalski campaign three days before the election for putting a pig on one of their fliers attacking former Sheriff Patrick Gallivan...

"Senate Candidate James Domagalski should be ashamed of himself. His recent campaign flier attacking retired police officer Pat Gallivan displays two pigs on the front page, and the words 'oink oink' on the back. Even school-age children recognize these derogatory terms against police officers."

The statement then turns into an essay. Domagalski's campaign counters that the pig was a reference to Gallivan's role as a double dipper and a pension grabber. I would tend to agree with them. Here was part of their response...

"As every Republican knows, Albany is a trough of corruption and self-dealing. While former Democrat and liberal Pat Gallivan has double-dipped on his pension and made over half a million dollars for a part-time political patronage job, our taxes have increased over $2 billion in New York State."

Must be turning into a close race. They all sound desperate.Both Domagalski and Gallivan are both trying to make the other look bad.

Gallivan should not be given a job at taxpayers expense


Former Sherrif Patrick Gallivan is considering a run for Dale Volker's soon to be vacated US Senate seat. You might remember when Gallivan was in office. He did nothing, smiled for cameras, and wrote the most ridiculous articles I've ever seen in local newspapers. His articles would cover such important topics as safe trick or treating, not swimming right after eating, and the dangers of not wearing sunscreen. I was embarrassed to read such crap in print, as it was a blatant attempt to get his name in the paper without saying anything. Now, he is considering running but would have to vacate his spot on the parole board (which is due to expire soon). Look at how brazenly the Buffalo News talks about efforts to find a no show job for him while he's campaigning:
Other sources say that Gallivan would have to resign his $101,600 job with the Parole Board and that efforts are under way to find an interim position to support him during the upcoming campaign.

People are out of work, struggling to make ends meet, and Paterson is talking about furloughs. Yet, we can afford to find a position for this entitled bureaucrat! Sorry, dwarf. If you want to run for office and need a paycheck, go apply at Wegmans. Western New Yorkers (both Democrats and Republicans) should oppose any job specifically created for this lousy actor. I don't use this word often but his articles were the gayest things I've ever seen a man write.
