Wright for life?

Sloatsburg Mayor Carl Wright will have a bit of competition for his office this year, at least in the Sept. 9 Republican primary. The Democrat Wright got the okay of the Republicans to enter a primary against political newcomer Marino Fontana, a registered Republican.
The idea is for Wright to get hold of the Republican ballot line — he had it in 2004 and ran with GOP support in 2000 as well — so villagers can have the uncontested general election that they’d grown accustomed to.
As mayor, Wright has had seven terms since 1975.
Sooooo, are you citizens out there happy to do away with the two-party system?
Do you subscribe to Wright’s thinking that uncontested tickets show folks of all political stripes working together for the good of all?

Vinnie Reda, the Rockland County Republican Chairman, has a most flexible standard. In the last election he doublecrossed Preserve Ramapo because, as he explained, the Republican Party will not support anyone who is not a Republican, now he has reversed himself.
Vinnie has the ethics of a snake. He is much more interested in destroying Preserve Ramapo than he is in creating a meaningful coalition to challenge Ramapo Supervisor St. Lawrence.
As a result our efforts to defeat St. Lawrence cannot include our many friends in the Republican Party.
I would love to know what the Ramapo Democrats gave Vinnie to doublecross the other members of his “coalition.”
