Ramapo Democrat attacks GOP Slate
-

- 30
Nathan Oberman, a Ramapo Democratic Committee official and the town’s Receiver of Taxes, is contesting Republican Robert Romanowski’s petition to run against Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence in a GOP primary.
In an election law dispute filed in state Supreme Court in New City, Oberman also names the county’s two commissioners of elections. The Board of Elections had upheld the propriety of Romanowski’s petitions.
St. Lawrence, a Democrat, got the GOP endorsement over the objection of some Republicans who thought their party ought to come up with its own candidate. Feelings like that led Romanowski, a Monsey resident, to get more than 400 signatures supporting his candidacy.

I am an Independent voter; however, what I find abhorrent is this cross endorsing of candidates in the smoky room atmosphere of the “party convention”. This process does a couple of despicable things. It limits the choices the voters have on election day, and gives long term political hangers on the two top lines on the ballot. It also prevents the Party faithful from nominating their own candidate. TERM LIMITS!! That is what is needed to make this silly Wilson -Pakula law obsolete.
