Maloney and Wadnola crack me up. They both presided over two of the largest tax increases in county and town history.

When Wadnola was supervisor he gave himself a raise and raised our taxes. Published: Saturday, October 5, 2002

TOWN OF ULSTER - Supervisor Fred Wadnola has proposed a 2003 budget that takes more money from taxpayers and gives pay hikes to elected officials.


Maloney was a Legislator for a 39% tax increase. Resolution #323 of 2005. Yes vote. http://www.co.ulster.ny.us/resolution-archives/2005/323-05.pdf

They pledge no tax increase when they are not in office or in the minority, how brave of them. Panderers one and all.

Hypocrite.

To 7:44am and 8:22am,

What Jim Maloney and Fred Wadnola did in the past means nothing about what they pledged for the present and the future. The past is the past and the present is the present. With a pledge, we taxpayers can remind elected officials if they go back on a pledge. Remember the fury that President George H.W. Bush got from the taxpayers, when he went against what he said, "Read My Lips, No New Taxes".
