LETTER: What Mythical Village Is That, Anyhow?

To the Editor:
The Democrats’ campaign for village election is a joke.  Last week, they placed an ad with a photo of police on bicycles from someplace unknown.  The week before there was a photo of pipes at some unknown drill site.  Who is creating the ads, somebody from Seattle or Scranton?
If they want to use photos in ads for village election, they should have used pictures taken in COOPERSTOWN.  How about a few shots of closed store fronts or a few hundred shots of potholes.  Oh, and let’s not forget the sidewalks on Main Street.
Maybe the local Democratic leaders and their candidates don’t want you to think about the real problems here at home.  Maybe they want to distract you from the damage they do.  They gang up against the mayor for researching ways to save our village money so he can fix our streets and lower taxes.  They sympathize with a village employee who constantly makes trouble.  They don’t listen to our residential wants and business needs.
The local Democratic leaders and their candidates have no plan for Cooperstown.  They have nothing to offer but fear.  They scare us about a crime wave in Cooperstown if public safety is more efficient.  They scare us with poisoned water if we don’t vote for democrats.  How phony can they get?
Maybe the local Democratic leaders and their candidates are simply desperate.  The Republicans clearly showed their platform in mailings and ads with real content and real solutions.  The local Democratic leaders and their candidates have shown us nothing but scare tactics.
I’m sure that at any moment now we will get the pleasure of them littering our village with their names on signs.  What a JOKE!
