The Omerta Report

Gallo facing early trouble as reelection campaign begins.

 As we predicted Ron Polacco has secured the Republican nomination by a vote of 18-0. Mr. DiMicco who saw the writing on the wall didn't even bother to show up at the GOP's City convention last week. DiMicco who was nominated for Alderman at Large will definitely help Polacco's ticket, DiMicco is well liked and he's the first strong candidate that the GOP has put up for Alderman at Large in at least a dozen years. Ron Polacco's chances of becoming Mayor are getting better by the day. Cahill gave him a wilson Pakula for the Conservative line and Polacco probably will have one for the Independence as well. While Gallo will have ballot access for both the Conservative and Independence as well, he has a big primary to battle against Steve Noble, or as he calls him "Stevie Wonder",  Polacco on the other hand has all summer to talk to every Independence and Conservative voter at least three times. As we stated before it's our counsel to Polacco that he just let Gallo have the Conservative line. Polacco's best and only chance of overcoming the 3:1 Democratic enrollment in this city is a three way race for Mayor.

We hear the Working Families Party is staying out of the Kingston Mayor's race, that's a big blow to Gallo. Gallo got elected with the help of WFP in the primary four years ago and has been telling everyone that will listen for the past three months that he had the WFP line all locked up. Our advice to the Kingston Capo is that maybe he just shut his mouth sometimes, it's better to be thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt. While we love John Gotti, Don Carlo, the former head of the Gambino family that bares his name to this day would play the quite old grandfather card to the tee, never letting arrogance get in his way or the need to be flashy or the need to have people think that he was right all the time, it was good enough for him to know he had the power and was in control. Carlo Gambino was boss for over thirty years, never serving a day in jail, dying of a heart attack home in his bed in his seventies. Don Gotti, who reminds us of Gallo, was the opposite, he wore $3k Baroni suits, had an awful temper, needed everyone to know just what he did for a living and craved attention, he was boss just eight years, dying alone in jail...Sad because pound for pound he was a better man than Gambino, stronger more ambitious, had balls but like Gallo obviously had "daddy issues", and needed that constant recognition.  It was Gotti's ego that brought this borgotta down and Gallo will meet the same fate.

A good example is his stuberness to settle the Chris Rea case, which a Judge did for him, Gallo's ego and stuberness will cost taxpaers well over $240k.  Another example of how temperament is an issue in this campaign. Gallo's poor choices and anger issues are effecting his ability to serve this city and taxpayers are paying for his anger management or lack there of when they get their tax bill this year.

 Word on the street is Gallo is not off to the best start with petitions either, we hear Noble already has hundreds of more Democratic signatures than Gallo and that Gallo's supporters are having a tough time getting his "lunch bucket" crowd to sign on to their Capo's reelection campaign.



We hear rumors that Jim Quigley will run again for Ulster Town Supervisor, we will report more info as it becomes available. Of course he's gunna run, talk about a guy that needs attention.
