Gallo Sinks his Anchor for Midtown Kingston

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Gallo's once bold plan to make this building his anchor for the rehabilitation of midtown Kingston and the centerpiece of his administration, is now more like a sinking ship, and the same can be said about his administration, the people are realizing the Mayor Gallo they thought they were electing and had so much hope tied into has been gone for many years."

Gallo called the Bank of America building his anchor for Midtown Kingston three years ago when he announced that the Bank had released the property to the city for $1 and claimed at the time he had the funding in place to transform the bank into KPD headquarters an idea we supported, makes sense, next year Kingston voters will elect a second full time Judge and Judge Kirschner will need the extra room. ;~) Also to revitalize Midtown, why not have a police presence right in Midtown?! However that plan failed like most of the Kingston Capo's promises ( getting a building at Kings Inn, building a police station, creating quality of life task force), like most bipolar skitzos, Gallo shoots from the hip, gets excited about something and a week later he gets bored with it and is licking a window, paranoid another imaginary enemy is out there plotting against him.

We kid about Shayne but it's no laughing matter, the man is fucking sick, he needs help, he's brilliant and suffers with undiagnosed bipolar, has severe daddy issues and needs therapy. Here we are advocating therapy, in the old day therapy was given to us in the back of the head. Now we got this one in fucking rehab, that one in therapy..who says gangsters are just impulsive creatures that cant evolve? Problem with Gallo is he hasn't evolved, he's stubborn, a typical old school gangster that sees getting help as a sign of weakness and that will lead to his down fall come September. The guy could be Attorney General if he got his act together, he's that fucking smart. His mental heath issues are so severe though that it gets in the way of his judgement and costs the city money and he's too dangerous, too much of a liability to keep him. Rumor is Gallo was forced to sell the bank of America building to cover Chris Rea's back pay and lawyer fees. ;~)

On paper the bank sale looks like a good deal, they acquired the property from the bank for $1 and sold for $365k, well at least we know when he loses this November, he can join Hayes and Andy in the Real Estate business because that's where all the failed mayoral candidates seem to land and that's a hell of a profit Gallo got with Bank of America, he's off to a great start!!

The problem is he was able to get the building from Bank of America because he promised it would be used as a tool to help Midtown Kingston. However it was sold to a developer that has a less than stellar record with completing these sort of projects in Kingston. The developer was the same guy that got tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars from the City to build the Noah Hotel. After many years of one failed promise after another, the Noah Hotel never developed, the guy finally admitted he didn't have the money to do it.  And we doubt this guy ever paid the money back he owes to the city but we don't know that for sure but it's safe to assume he probably did not.

So Gallo gets the bank of America to give their property away for $1 under the premise it would be used by the city as a police station to better Kingston. Then Gallo declares that this is the anchor of his plan for midtown and he gives that anchor which represents a big chunk of his legacy as Mayor, to a guy who's from NYC and his only claim to fame was that he jerked off Kingston taxpayers for years while getting money from the city on a project he never completed. . What the Fuck are we dealing with heree???? No one is talking about this yet but if Noble takes a piss wrong its on front page of every paper w Gallo bitching and complaining. This is a huge blunder by Mayor G. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Gallo's once bold plan to make this building his anchor for rehabilitation for midtown Kingston and the centerpiece of his administration, is now more like a sinking ship, and the same can be said about his administration, the people are realizing the Mayor Gallo they thought they were electing and had so much hope tied into, has been gone for many years.

While the City is not required to go out to bid with this, they should of, especially being Gallo got it under the premise it would be used better the community. There should have been a process. Instead Gallo gives his Anchor toward saving midtown to literally the first guy that came along and made an offer,  a guy that has proven he's incompetent with his previous dealings with the City to boot. Plus this guy has yet to offer what his plan is for the property in detail, other than vaguely saying he'll do mixed commercial retail. So we are supposed to believe that a guy that did shit before is going to spend close to a million to restore this building  AND also rent out the space to retailers in Midtown Kingston of all places? Yeah, OK Gallo, you believe that than I got an Ark to sell you, it's nice, Jesus had it built. Our Family needs to stop the madness we can not reelect this stunade as Mayor and defacto leader of the family.

Im not crazy, Im just like you, see?!!
