Friday, Aug. 29 - I 've had a busy couple of days. Tonight I launch this campaign blog.
Every few days I'll give you an update from the campaign trail. When I'm elected I plan to
offer the same type of dialogue and analysis of county issues.
Thursday I attended the special meeting of Legislature for the vote on reducing it from 19
legislators to 15.....more

Sunday, August 30 - Spent some time at Johnson City Field Days. The weather
was outstanding today and the event well-attended. I began distributing my newly
printed palm card. Response was good. It seemed the event was even more local
than I imagined. Almost everyone I spoke with was from JC. I thought going in
there would be a broader crowd....more

Labor Day - Everyone in Binghamton took another hit today and Broome County
has one more thing to be concerned about. Effective today the water rates rose
again. This is part of the 81% increase in water rates under Matthew T. Ryan. Don’t
let them tell you it is because historically rates have not risen, either. Over the last 7
years Binghamton rates have gone upon 127% compared to New York City's 77% .

No campaigning today. Instead we had 28 volunteers from the Broome County
United Way's Day of Caring to look after. Many thanks to those people from
Levene, Gouldin & Thompson LLC, United Health Services and Johnson Controls for
all their help today.

Wednesday, Sept. 17 I spent my fourth day going door-to-door up and down the
hills of Johnson City. Today, among others, I had an interesting discussion with a
well-informed, activist couple, both Democrats. It is refreshing to find people who
can think beyond party lines

Monday, Sept. 22 - Yesterday I was out in Prospect Terrace, Town of Dickinson,
the issue on people's minds was their recently arrived increased water bill. One
senior woman on a fixed income was wondering how she would pay the bill and
what could be done about them. I suggested speaking out to all her elected
officials and the news media with the hope of delaying the increase to $2.99/100
cu.ft. units in Aug. '09
Today I attended the presentation of the 2009 budget for Joint Sewage
Treatment Plant. Things will get worse, much worse. ....more

Thursday, Sept. 25 - Very busy these days. Another budget meeting, short one
though. Two more days of going door-to-door. I'm nearing 1300 homes now.
I have not even had time to review a couple of interesting reports but I have
posted them here. The first is a review of the Sheriff's Department. The second is
a report for Broome County done last year to study the feasibilty of buying out
the Binghamton Johnson City Joint Sewage Treatment Plant.

Thursday, Oct. 2 - People are worried out there.

that the Binghamton-JC sewage treatment plant sent raw sewage into the river

Tuesday, Oct. 7 - BCC Debate. What a busy day!!! It started at 3:30AM with a
prior commitment to drive round trip to Syracuse airport. I returned home, tried

best way to get into a debating frame of minds was to go door-to-door for a little
while and engage with voters. Then it was on to BCC...more
