Glad you saw it Carl , it hit close to home on so many levels. Its a shame that someone is trolling…Read More such an uplifting article and removing positive comments. I too grew closer to my father only after I married and had children. But to be honest even though I didn't connect with him as a child, I'm glad I did as an adult. I understand him better now.

The Independence Party is one of the 'worst of the worst' of the minority parties. Phil Reisman who…Read More is an opinion writer in the Journal News described it as the "Votes-R-Us Party. In other words, it’s all about payback - patronage jobs. It isn’t so much a political party as it is a racket, albeit a legal racket". --- The Journal News identified County Legislator, Frank Sparaco, as a major player in this party. He has a $75,000 patronage job under Wayne Ballard working part time. The job was approved by three members of the Clarkstown Town Board running for re-election this year, Gromack, Hausner and Hoehmann. ---- The Journal News stated: "Besides his GOP leadership role, Sparaco has been a key player in the county’s Independence Party. Highway Superintendent Ballard, like Sparaco, is a Republican. But in Clarkstown, that’s of little matter. The Democratic supervisor, Alex Gromack, has various party leaders in his employ, and election after election, he and Ballard have been cross-endorsed and rarely challenged. The Independence Party is also supporting Schoenberger for County Executive over Day which makes one wonder if a patronage deal has been worked out for that cross-endorsement from this "legal racket".

It gets worse and worse as far as the greed in Clarkstown politics. They are greedy to stay in…Read More office so they can figure out "legal" ways to pay themselves. our tax money. They all have their hand in the 100+ million dollar tax burden they put on the people of Clarkstown. It's like Gromack and company says "Hey it's all up for the highest bidder. Either we make $ here or you guarantee me another voting line on election day." The truly sad part for us is they have rigged the system to where it is very difficult to vote them out. Even sadder is they are using our tax money to secure themselves re-election.
