Matera Pulls Upset Wins GOP Nod for Surrogate Court

Peter Matera is the GOP nominee for Surrogate Court beating Esopus town Chair Kyle Barnett at the Ulster County Republican convention Barnett was considered the odds on favorite. Sara McGinty must be very nervous. McGinty who also is favored to win in a landslide the Ulster County Democratic Convention in recent weeks has been losing ground to newcomer Sarah Graff who recently became a Democratic but widely respected in the legal community and considered the most qualified among the two. Could be the year of the upsets. Barnett must be eating crow, him and Matera had a heated convention at Ol' Savana last month were Barnett encouraged Matera not to primary and to support the GOP nominee. Will Barnett now drop out?

Is Noble Losing Control Of Sales Tax Fight?

That and more we will cover tomorrow... We are sorry for no updates we are busy with Trump's Veep search. We will update the legislature's recent approval of the sales tax pact and the Kingston Common Council's recent rejection of it, what now?!

Why can't Mayor Noble get his Uncle and liberal pals on the council in order? Mayor Noble or Julie needs to close the deal on this, it makes them both look weak, it's their plan. Interestingly enough, it's the Noble's own soldiers fucking the first family over, will the Kingston Capo put his foot down and win this battle or do what he does best and bend over for them?

Also we will update you on the gun debate and showcase an interesting KHS Club that existed in the 1940's that practiced in the basement of Mayor Noble's old office at the Andy Murphy Center.

All that and more interesting political news and gossip that you will only find here including an update on the KPD lawsuit regarding promotions. Anonimity is always protected but here is a teaser on the text of an email we got yesterday:

"Here's a copy of the lawsuit to show the corrupt actions of the new mayor, police chief, and commissioners. I request that this gets its own topic on the board also if there is any personal information of the poor guys involved in this please black out, out of fairness to their privacy. It seams like a big deal in the messed up world of kingston. Enjoy!"

We will have the info and a scribe of the suit on here in short order when we can black out certian info on names to protect the officers as requested. These officers should never of ha these promotions taken away, they were told close to the holiday last year, they told their families and friends, had promotional parties thought they were getting increases in pay and than suffered an incredible injustice, one that needs correcting. We don't think the Chief of police is corrupt but what he did was wrong, he should of stood up to Mayor Noble for his men. Mayor Gallo per the City Charter had authority to make those appointments without question. More to follow, thanks for reading!

Bob Bishop Involved In Campaign Fraud, Faso Silent on Issue

Bob Bishop candidate for US Congress has some shady petitions to say the least. The candidates petitions are riddled with fraud and his campaign is due in court on the charges in Dutchess soon.

We know his campaign forged the signatures of several people including Jean Jacobs.

John Faso has remained silent on the issue unlike Andrew Heaney who has called out Bishop on this. Faso cares more about his own race and winning a split primary then the integrity of the process. Faso is looking to run to represent us in the house and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this?

Look at the detailed info below. Kudos to Andrew Heaney for standing up on his principles and showing that he is a man of integrity. Mr. Bishop should bow out of the race now and apologize to Andrew Heaney.

If you see that your name was forged, say something
