This is less about Gracedale than the marching orders Stoffa got from the "Party".<br /><br />Why do you think he first got his major campaign money from a former Republcan Chairman.

Why do you think he was given no Republcian opposition in his re-election bid.<br /><br />He and the goons on County Council will destroy Gracedale and damage the health and safety of the residents just to bust the union.<br /><br />Shame on them and Karma will be waiting in 2013.<br /><br />Sadness In Truth!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-31342930140082030342011-02-24T10:00:28.947-05:002011-02-24T10:00:28.947-05:00Bernie do you really expect Ronny to tell you the ...Bernie do you really expect Ronny to tell you the truth?Another councilman was quoted in the Express times as stating 60 million.Whats the truth can you please post it and please ask someone other than Ronny Boy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-66606180726113447732011-02-24T02:55:12.173-05:002011-02-24T02:55:12.173-05:00"According to Angle", should be one of t..."According to Angle", should be one of the funniest or scariest lines ever written.
