A very political day for me....I submitted nominating petitions for reelection as Mayor.
746 signatures were on the sheets and I enjoyed meeting many people over the last month.
I did my last HOTLINE program till after the November 8th election. I will try to work some more at the tavern to make up for the income loss.
Governor Cuomo was at the airport for a well-attended bill signing. I got there as it ended, but his aides set up a little face time. I complimented him on the recent session and pitched the need for pension reform.
In the late afternoon I went to Caprice Island in the St. Lawrence near Kring Point State Park in the Town of Alexandria. That's the summer home of Matt Doheny and this place was very well done. So was the hospitality as 350 people were ferried to the Island for a Patty Ritchie rally and fundraiser.
Lots of politicos there including several State Senators including Deputy Majority Leader, Sen. Tom Libous of Binghamton.
Some real pretty judge candidates were there and other local glitterati like the former Miss NY clinked glasses with the well connected and those who think they are. Mr. Doheny was a great host, but hovering over the kind words for Patty was his own candidacy next year against Rep. Bill Owens...
My friend Tammy of Wicked Wench fame was there. Roxanne Burns....and Carolyn Fitzpatrick...You can tell I have been kicking around awhile...People from Syracuse recognized me...The power of YNN !
Senator Ritchie led a group of us on a tour of the upper floors....All the showers spray you from about six directions.....It was a lot fancier than you see on Pearl Street.
Which is where I am now that I have returned from a very fun and beautiful evening on the River.

Why is Matt raising money for the girl that wants a special law for first responders and barters sales tax autonomy for millions in housing developer subsides and even voted to allow borrowing to pay for pensions?
Dah! Cause she's another Republican talking out of both sides of her mouth and what's so hard for you to get about Matt supporting that may I ask?
That's our Senator alright. Out of touch and doesn't have a clue about all the real people she is hurting. Fiddling while Rome burns. More interested in showing how Matt's shower works than equal rights. She's really all wet so I guess that would make her an expert.
Wonder how she is qualified to give tours of Matt's house anyway. Hmmmm.....
Yes, I hate that Patty girl too. (The party told me to say this and I have no brain of my own)
Hate to say this, but Caprice Island has very shallow water all around it. There be rocks and mud just under the surface. Approach carefully, if at all. If you're a Canadian patrol boat, come on by, full steam ahead.
