An Auburn attorney hoping to run an independent campaign for NY24 has been tossed by a judge claiming he was 23 signatures shy of 3500 needed. Must be a Democratic judge .

Abdul El-Sayad has been declared the winner by AP and other networks in the Dem primary in Michigan. He will run against Republican Michael Rogers in a race that could determine which party controls the Senate.
Looks like that odd looking Congressman named Shri lost too....
661 Factory is owned by an LLC in Brantingham Lake....It's assessed for $208K and zoned urban/mixed use......Inn/lodge is the zoning code.
$2317 in city taxes this year...$1588 in county taxes. Last listed improvement in 2000....Built in 1950 and they say 31 units....Common bathrooms and an electrician one told me of basement apartments with no windows.
Normal condition of average quality the City says. Overall desirability is three, whatever that means.
Imagine living on Loomus Drive and paying twice that tax and imposing no burden on city services..
A great opportunity for those who know how to work the system is up for auction....The 43 unit block at 232 W. Main was a popular blotter entry for years...Opening bid is $150K. While likely a shithole inside, 232 is a solid building with parking.
Great cash flow even you get the Social Service vouchered tenants.
Experts we are told rate the NY 21 race competitive...as a result of 20 months of GOP turmoil....That turmoil happened, but in the end do people vote party or person.
Blake Gendebien seems a nice guy and I suspect he is...But if elected his first vote is for Hakeem as Speaker and he will have to vote for all those Trump impeachment resolutions.
Yet the tattered cloth coat Republicans who run county committees are ambivalent about their brash young candidate and the winds this year don't favor the GOP..
Anybody can write a political analysis and since we have so few "experts", no way of knowing who is right.

Had to play a little man on the scene yesterday as Glenn ask me on Live at Five about the murder up the street, and while I am not a licensed member of the main stream media, I did my best with caveats about things still not being entirely clear. However it was clear by 5PM and arrest was made and a person was dead.
So the alleged murderer raped a young teen in 2013 before heading south in a stolen car for some crime…and he was on a sex offender registry living at 661 according to a Times article today. It’s a welfare hotel generating strong cash flow in vouchered rent. Nice of them to place this dude in such fertile turf.
Be anxious to hear more at today’s presser about how much was known about this guy and what interactions have police had with him.
It’s amazing with the welfare state as it is, there is no means of intervention for young people whose lives are pretty much shot.
Today I noticed a teen girl dancing on the sidewalk out front…..Kept,an eye on her and it was obvious she was whacked on meth or whatever….i tried to speak to her as did a,female customer….She claimed not to know her name , age or where she lived. I called 911 and an officer came over and she is a frequent flyer at age 17 or less with parents who show no interest. Nothing that can be done. No Social Services or mental health services…Given her mental state and dress bad could,come easily…
The officer was familiar and helpful, but there is no apparent solution to such dilemmas.
So it is with street life in Watertown.
