Kathy Hochul and Mary Hosler have more in common than their last names starting with “H”. Both made pledges to run a more open government. Both are falling short.
Hochul did change “Three men in a room” to “Two men and a lady in a room”. However, that did not improve transparency during the budget process.
In Evans, Mary Hosler’s denial of documents requested under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) raises questions about how the taxpayer’s money is being spent. Denied documents include those showing how much COVID money the Town of Evans received and how that money was spent. Also denied were W2’s for elected officials and those town employees earning $50,000 a year or more.

The Town of Evans was audited by the NYS OSC in 2002 and 2012. Maybe it is time for state to take a look at how Evans is spending the taxpayer’s money? [ Click Here To Download the past state audits ]
Leadership
Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.
DANGEROUS DECISIONS
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
THE GOAL OF MARXISM
Marxism is not about free speech and debate, it is about domination, repression, indoctrination, conformity, and compliance.
GOVERNMENT’S VOICE
Government hears only its own voice … It knows it hears only its own voice and yet it deceives itself that it hears the people’s voice.
POLITICAL POWER
Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another.
GOOD INTENTIONS
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
HONESTY vs HYPOCRISY
Honesty in politics is the result of strength; hypocrisy is the result of weakness.
THE TRUTH
Truth is the most precious thing. That's why we should ration it.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Why should freedom of speech and freedom of the press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?
