Start spreading the news Otis is leaving today! I want to be a part of Change in good Ol’ Rye NY.! Congrats to French and his team, I am happy the people of Rye saw that change was needed and it was time to bring Rye back!
Jay Sears should be just as Happy as Doug French and the entire French Team!
MyRye should return to order now that all the trash is gone!
Where did all the cowards go that were talking smack yesterday???
Last night was very rewarding for all of the Rye residents, a VICTORY for all!!!
Let this be a lesson to all politicians and future politicians! Mayor Otis chose to travel down the path of Nixon and HIS COHORTS – the results speak for themselves!
Speaking of Cohorts, how you feeling today boyz????
Mayor French,
It’s time to take out the rest of the Garbage!!!
You know who you are and if I were you I would start looking!!!
DING DONG OTIS IS GONE!!!!
Farewell Partaay Tonite 8pm City Hall, Cash Bar!!!
If I was Suzy “Weekend at Bernies” Oppenheimer I would be looking over my shoulder.
Definition of garbage:
Any matter that is no longer wanted or needed; trash.
Anything that is contemptibly worthless, inferior, or vile.
Worthless talk; lies; foolishness.
My translation:
Culross, Connors and Plunkett.
Obviously, the 3 previous bloggers candidates won. Instead of looking for the good of Rye you are still slamming it. I hope the newly elected realize there are more than the four of you in Rye. Just because you have the biggest mouths doesn’t mean you are the only ones out there. Andy Ball was 100% right. Just because these people say they can lower our taxes doesn’t mean they can. For the record, I too am a life long Rye resident.
Does anybody know if Connors has a contract or is his employment at the pleasure of the Mayor?
Connors does not have a contract. He serves at the pleasure, or displeasure, of the City Manager.
White Plains has an opening. According to Otis and Culross, Connors is so over qualified he should have no problem getting the White Plains job or any job for that matter.
On another front Rye needs to get rid of Plunkett ASAP before he becomes eligible for lifetime health insurance and a lifetime pension paid for by the Rye taxpayers.
Honest Citizen,
Okay, so you are a Lifer, did you vote for Otis?
I’m confused; first you say “the 3 previous bloggers” then you say “the four of you”….who exactly are the 3 or 4 you are referring to? names please?
Has anyone seen Mrs.Charmian Neary?
It seems she has fallen off the face of the earth!!!
We should have in the very least seen a political speech from the guru herself.
John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets,’ and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This was no easy task, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch And fill out an efficiency report just by listening to the bells.
John’s favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover. To John’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and sneak on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch that he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair. Old Butch became an overnight sensation among the judges.
In the end, the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize, but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.
This is great..Even Obama would enjoy the wit..very funny
> spare us the whine . The budget of Rye under Otis and Co went from $15mm to $34mm … thats MILES beyond inflation in USA . Thats people spending money like mad because its not their money
