From Newsday – 2 newcomers challenge 2 trustees in Babylon election
In Babylon, incumbent trustees Kevin Muldowney and Alice Vanderveldt will be challenged at the polls on Wednesday by newcomers Darrell Conway and Elizabeth Rye.
Muldowney, 64, a trustee for 20 years, is also deputy mayor. He said during his tenure he and the other officials have helped keep the village “neat and clean and pretty” while trying to be “fiscally responsible to all of our residents” and keep taxes down, something he hopes to continue.

Alice Vanderveldt, 48, was appointed to the board in 1996 and elected the next year. She has been a special-education teacher at Ronkonkoma Middle School since September and previously managed broadcasting for the New York Islanders.
…
Challenger Elizabeth Rye has lived in the village for eight years and said she wants to maintain its “at home” feeling and quaint downtown. A retired New York Police Department detective, Rye, 44, has been a Babylon bay constable since 2005. She also works as an independent investigator for companies
….
Fellow challenger Darrell Conway is an attorney who has lived in the village for 22 years and served on the Babylon School Board for six years.
I admit that I have no idea who is running or what the issues are. Any opinions?
Gary;
It’s obvious that the voter is question is barely in control of their mental faculties. I can only assume that you were helping such people get to the polls. While I applaud your efforts to aid them in the exercise their (small ‘d’) democratic franchise, you probably shouldn’t take cell phone pictures of what they did behind the curtain.

dammit! Blogger took out my “TIC”
I guess it’s too much to ask for contrition from the people who supported the worst President the United States has seen since James Buchanan, but at the very least maybe a little judicious silence might be in order.
I invite anyone with a contrary view to compare and contrast the state of the nation on Jan 19th 1993, Jan 19th 2001 and Jan 19th 2009.

Republican principles? That reminds me of Winston Churchill who said, “Don’t speak to me of naval tradition. It’s nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash”
Rum, sodomy and the lash. If only Republican principles were so good.
“Rum, sodomy and the lash”–not all Republicans have the same principles as David Vitter. Sadly, many of them have worse.
