		<description>You may notice that this same Kerr guy gave himself and all of the administration a 4.1% raise/year... at a time when the district is in the red... Does anybody have any oversight in this district?!?!</description>

		<description>I thnk the whole bunch of them should be fired.  I can&#039;t believe that this Gordon Kerr guy gets a promotion after being a part of the administration that oversaw this massive deficit.  Then he is proud to negotiate a contract that gives raises at a time when no one is getting even COLAs.  In the real world, such incompetience isn&#039;t rewarded--excellence is!</description>

		<description>I think one of the problems with posting anonymous is that several people do it. Give yourself a screen name that identifies yourself even if it&#039;s not your real name. It will prevent you from being confused with others who post on other threads. I get a lot of abuse that does get posted because they&#039;re personal attacks. I delete a dozen BS comments every day. That&#039;s what I meant by my post. If I can&#039;t differentiate between you and someone else then these kinds of mistakes happen.</description>

		<description>Ford,

You are fairly predictable.  Firstly I figured you would pull the Democratic Board argument with me, and secondly, I figured you would point out that my posts are done anonymously!!

That fact that I choose to post anonymously does not in any way tarnish the arguments that I have presented in all of my previous posts.  Also, you have still yet to answer and/or rebut any of those arguments.  

Abuse??  I will say that I have absolutely no problem with you putting an argument out on the web, but I do have a problem with you calling it abuse when someone decides that they might offer a different perspective or argument.  Seems to me that you get incredibly defensive when someone doesn&#039;t agree with you, and instead of engaging in an intellectual debate about the subject matter of the posts that YOU chose, you make excuses, point out that the post is anonymous, or call the person abusive.  Instead of claiming that I am somehow infereior to you because of the way I choose to post, maybe you could stick to the subject matter that you chose and make a coherent point.

So What,

I am well aware that the PBA chose their endorsement because of the way the previous administration/management treated the front line police officers of this community, and politicized the department.  I don&#039;t fault them for that in any way.  My only point was that if the Dems were somehow cowtowing to all of the other unions in the Town, you would have seen some endorsements for them too.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s funny that you think I&#039;m the political hack when I&#039;m the one who is open and honest about my opinions and I&#039;m the one person in politics that has a blog putting myself on the line everyday. I don&#039;t expect everyone to agree but who else out their is taking a stand and putting up with your kind of abuse? Like it or not I&#039;m the guy giving you a voice on lots of issues with this site and all you do is criticise me for it. Nice to be anonymous isn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>So What,

That has become increasingly clear.  I did however figure that I would give Hamburg First an opportunity to explain his hypocrytical stance.  Given that fact that the opportunity was presented, and he cannot provide, at the minimum, a viable argument for his obvious political stance, your point is well taken.

This post was never about the substance of the contracts that he has chosen to chastize, and has always been about his political ambitions.

I guess the upside is that he will never be able to string together a decent argument to defend and/or explain his positions.  So, we do not have to fear this hack ever rising above the level of that of a fringe political hack!!  Rest easy Hamburg Residents.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t recall ever suing the Town of Hamburg. I did have a lawyer file a notice of intent to sue but then the issue was resolved. Get your facts straight.</description>
