Obama-Biden HQ, part II
-

Yes, there’s already an Obama ‘08 Rockland County Headquarters in the Indian Rock shopping plaza in Montebello.
Today, there will be another HQ, this one dubbed the Obama-Biden Election Headquarters. The new site will open at 5:30 p.m. today at 311 N. Main St. in Spring Valley.
The Democrats who won seats on the Ramapo Town Democratic Committee in the Sept. 9 primary, but who have not yet officially taken their seats, will open the site.
The Obama ‘08 Rockland County Headquarters opened in space previously used by Ramapo town Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence as an election office.
The Democrats opening the new site and St. Lawrence and his supporters are at odds, to say the least, and their fight about who can call a reorganization meeting and when, as well as who can fill vacancies on the town committee, has stalled the effort to actually have an official meeting.
The two sides are wrestling for control of the committee and this, in turn, has stalled the Rockland County Democratic Committee from being able to hold its reorganization meeting, because by-laws require all five of Rockland’s town committees to hold their meetings first.
One impact is that Republicans are already moving ahead to reappoint Joan Silvestri as co-commissioner of the county Board of Elections. Her Democratic counterpart, Ann Marie Kelly, is in limbo until her party’s faithful iron out their issues and decide whether or not to reappoint her.
Haitian-American Voters and Entrepreneurs National and the Council of Haitian-American Public Officials are joining in opening the new HQ today.
