I will not out you, but you do have your own agenda. You are a major player in the County GOP, and don't want Hunter elected. I think you should have made that clear. <br /><br />2) Because of your agenda, nothing Deb does would be good enough. She could secure $1 MM for every person in Chapman, and you'd complain it should have been $2 MM. <br /><br />3) To clarify a misimpression you unintentionally created, Deb Hunter was never a member of the COG. She was on the Gaming Board, and did not miss those meetings. The County had one or two persons at every COG meeting. I am glad to know you think attendance is important bc I will have a question about that soon. <br /><br />4) How much has the current occupant from your area obtained for you? I don't see Tenges bringing you shit, but you don't criticize him bc he is an R. <br /><br />Let's knock off the crap already. The Rs have some good candidates and some bad ones. I know it and you know it. The Dems have some good candidates and some bad ones. I know it and you know it. Let Deb Hunter be. I know you can't ever vote for her. But know she is a competent person. She's not on your wavelength, but you and I both know she will do wel if elected. <br /><br />Unleash your wrath on O'Donnell. He is the worst in both parties. <br /><br />Incidentally, i called Deb H and asked her NOT to comment here. It is not fair for her to do so and be attacked by people who don't identify themselves. So you won't hear her again here. <br />Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-71364146138530591112013-09-28T15:14:49.693-04:002013-09-28T15:14:49.693-04:00Nice answer but it really didn't answer the qu...Nice answer but it really didn't answer the question directly.

We awarded $50,000 for the Keller Road bridge redo. As the poster should know, these "uncommitted funds" are available once a year and most of these grants still go to the contiguous municipalities to the casino. The "restricted funds" are by far the biggest pot of money and go solely to contiguous municipalities. Its a matter of record what was given out etc. Members of your COG did very well compared to all the other municipalities. I was in monthly contact with Brian who was president at the time and explained the application process to him and your COG at the meeting. Brian sent me the agenda and minutes of your meetings over my brief tenure and, as you also should know, Alicia Karner was at your meetings and is the NorCo administrator for the gaming authority. The once a year presentation of grants from municipalities in your COG were done at the gaming authority meetings of which I had almost 100% attendance. I'm sorry if you feel you were not represented well even though you got a bigger percentage of the grants that year than most outlying COGs but its simply not true. Regarding my 10 year tenure on Naz school board from 1991 to 2001. I was there during the pivotal period of the district where we went from a provincial district with the long time residents calling the shots to a time of huge transition with the influx of people from New Jersey and the expectations they brought. We built the district into the academically highly respected institution that it is. Ask anyone who sends their kids there about the high quality of the teachers and facilities. I am very proud of what we did there and I stand by it.Deb Hunternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-89534199352007394592013-09-28T08:22:03.460-04:002013-09-28T08:22:03.460-04:00The reader is referring to COG attendance, not the...The reader is referring to COG attendance, not the Gaming Board.
