Well, I was warned about the nasty politics in Jackson, and now I am experiencing it first hand. The flyer just sent out printed in our colors was the tip of the iceberg. It was certainly mean spirited. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." It is amazing that they couldn't even find anything bad to say about me other than I'm linked to Mike and Mike. I'll take it, my friends. I think these two men are wonderful assets to Jackson, and I'm proud to be associated with them.
The supposed "independent poll" conducted over the weekend was nothing more than a "push poll" paid for by the opposing team. I wish I had a dime for every person, including strangers, who called me to tell me they were incensed. A true poll does not ask leading negative questions. The negative question against me had to do with my raising taxes in Merrick while on the school board. What they DIDN'T say was that the raises were over 25 years time. What they DIDN'T say was that there was never a defeated budget in my entire tenure on both boards...Merrick Union Free School District and the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School Board. That's 27 budgets without a defeat. What they DIDN'T say was that I was re-elected eight times by residents of my community. I am very proud of my record, and the opposition can say and do whatever they want. They will not rattle me, nor will they get a majority of clear thinking people to listen to that nonsense.
Yup, it's turned dirty, and it will probably get worse. Hey, I'm writing about it, aren't I? The game isn't over till it's over.

Bobbie, the opposing ticket doesn't have anything good to say about themselves so they're resorting to slamming you, Mike and Mike. They know that people are fed up and they're resorting to all of this nonsense about all of you. NOBODY that I've spoken to is voting for any of them. Not one! People are sick and tired of the circus that is Jackson. I know I am. They lie to make themselves look good - to who, I don't know. But if it makes them feel good, whatever! They have to live with themselves. They are a nasty, nasty group and I vow to never vote for a Jackson Republican again. (Except Mike Reina)
