Omerta Report Mini Edition

We hear H- Rod, New Paltz legislator Hector Rodriguez may be up to something trying to shake up the leadership in the legislature. Some friends of ours are buzzing about a meeting amongst Democratic capos next week at our uptown social club to determine the leadership in the legislature next year.  In the life, Hector is known as a mush, he brings bad luck to us and has lost three leadership posts in a row. John Parete could be so lucky for Hector to challenge him. In regards to Hector's potential challenge we say to Chairman Parete :Figurati!

Hector could try and challenge Woodstock Dem fam Capo Don Gregorious, for Majority leader and to that we'd just have to flip a coin. Only kidding Majority Leader Gregorious is no dummy, we don't always agree but the current leadership is fine the way it is. Parete should remain as our Chairman and Gregorious Majority Leader. It's a good balance.

We have heard rumors over last few weeks from solid sources in our family that Kingston Mayor Shayne Gallo, Capo of the premier Kingston crew, our family's biggest crew both in membership and as earners, may not run for a second term. On one hand we say God bless, on the other we would like Gallo to run on his record like a man and not take easy way out. It's not like Mayor Gallo had any sorta big career going before he became Mayor he had two part time jobs both with government, what is he gunna do? If he does go, we feel our boss has the responsibility to find a good job for him in county government, Gallo has carried his water since day one, sometimes at the expense of what was in best interest for him and his city.



 Anyway, we heard the other day that city purchaser Brian Woltman is telling anyone that will listen that he will run if Gallo does not. Che Palle!!!! Are you shitting me? The guy has his current job out of pity of the current Mayor's late brother. Former Dem family boss T.R. Gallo gave Woltman the job because as he put it to me: " what else is the poor hump gunna do, he has a lisp I feel bad for him, he can get my sandwiches at Carmines or something, cuz, don't worry about it. That was what he told me and I never brought it up again, Woltman is a low level button, we don't run in the same circles, out of sight out of mind.

Woltman is not as dumb as he looks but he is not mayoral material, he is very disrespectful to high ranking friends of ours and a suspected rat on current city employees and officials. What kinda man rats on his friends and co workers?. Mayor not a chance! .Mi fa cagare! Some may remember last year Woltman got drunk and recorded a Christmas video of him dancing to some fanook style music and posted it on facebook. It's embarrassing that he even has his button let alone any sort of leadership position. He has no idea he is laughed at behind the backs of our family circles and we find the whole conversation a moot point because he will never get out the gate. Even Under Boss Gallo will tell you that.

On the GOP side, we hear that Andi Turco Levin will run for Mayor, and has cozied up to mustache Tony Sinagra who was recently reinstalled as Chairman. The Kingston family is almost non existant and has little chance to win the top seat in Kingston but Turco Levin is smart and sexy and could give us a run for our money we do not under estimate her if she makes it to the general election.

Conservative Chair Rich Cahill is not a fan of Andi's after she beat him for the GOP nomination amongst fellow gop buttons in 2011, after the primary however, where any Republican can vote even associates, she lost to Ron Polacco.. who's father is well respected in that family. Cahill harbors a lot of jealousy against Andi but we hear that he will not have the final say, the county Conservative's executive committee will ultimately decide who gets that endorsement which could spell bad news for Gallo as it's the only line he probably will get without having to primary.
