According to the "Tools Across the Hall", Sherry is running for re-election. Now I had thought she wouldn't...especially given the incredible amount of wierdness she has been subject to, such as...
...being stalked via DD toadies repeatedly driving by her house after she moved (to see if she lived in Scranton) ...having had her garbage gone through once it was on the curb ...countless incredibly vile sexual references
Could it be that all the ribbing, all the inuendo has actually spurred her on to want to serve again? Wouldn't it be a trip if, after all the work Pilchesky & Company have done to demean her, she ends up winning?
In terms of service & ability, I'm not sure I would vote for Sherry again. It's not that I think she's dumb, but she's clearly not a great communicator & she quite frankly engages the konsil loons more than she should. However, if my only other choices are Evans & "Pilchesky Approved" running mates, then she's got my vote in a heartbeat.
What does everyone else think?

Basing your vote on the DD posters shows the same amount of bad judgment you accuse them of having. I cannot imagine any rational individual voting for Sherry Fanucci for a second term. She shows no understanding of city finances and is incapable of doing anything except that which she is ordered to do. She has raised taxes 25%, increased the city debt to unacceptably-high levels, and possesses absolutely no vision for a 21st-century city.
I respect Judy Gatelli both personally and professionally. I cannot say the same for Sherry Fanucci. She would best serve the taxpayers by retiring undefeated. Even people I speak with who support the mayor do not approve of her.
"Basing your vote on the DD posters shows the same amount of bad judgment you accuse them of having. I cannot imagine any rational individual voting for Sherry Fanucci for a second term."
Bad Judgement?
Let's look at the competition Glenn.
Would a candidate who has courted favor with someone who has...
...sued the city over two dozen times & lost the vast majority of those cases ...cost the city over $45,000 in directly billed legal costs (and most likely much more in indirect costs) ...most likely has not paid property/garbage taxes in years (pending proof, of course...but the source is exceedingly credible & not what you heard during a konsil meeting) ...accused the Mayor of causing a suicide ...encouraged the stalking of public officials ...actively solicted "Give me all the dirt on" unsubstantiated gossip that is then posted, without filter, on a public message board ...is involved in a case of estate bilking
...be considered exercising "good judgement" to you Glenn?
I don't personally know Sherry & as I noted above, I don't think is he is the most effective member of council serving today. However, if the choice is someone who thinks that Joe Pilchesky is some sort of "community activist" who should be courted as a supporter, then that over-rules my trepidation over Ms Nealon-Fannucci.
Bottom Line: I'll vote for someone who could be viewed as incompetent but good-intentioned any day over someone who's competence has not been tested AND who has shown exceedingly bad judgement (via the Pilchesky endorsement).
Now if the other candidates running for council (Rogan, et all) want to contact this board and tell us that they have (and want) no connection to Joe Pilchesky & his merry band of goons, then I'm all eyes. Hell, they might even get my vote.

No Glen itactually demonstrates good judgment because unlike you I do not believe the ends justify the means. I will not justify Pilchesky's disgusting tactics by trying to make myself feel a little better by claiming "well at least his website does some good" as you have done. I would never be associated with that loon or his merry band of goons ever, for any reason, not even if on a very rare occasion they may actually hit on a topic I agree with .....it wouldn'tmatter if it would benefit me it would still be WRONG so I could never be on board with them ever!.
If a candidate displays such poor judgement, or worse such self serving motives by associating themselves with the loons next door then they are clearly not a person I would have ever have any time .......or votes......... for period!
You cannot have a conversation about anyone or anything here without some posters dragging Pilchesky into the subject. Intense frustration is hitting again. Sorry, I know my place.

Now how did I know Ihave would be the first to post another riveting message? It's true. Glen was talking about Sherry Fanucci and her chances in the race and the Pilchesky angle is drawn into it. As much as a few of you complain about posters over there, some of you seem to be so enthralled with Pilchesky that you can't help bring him up on every subject. Pot? Kettle? Sorry Lus for using your phrase, but it fits here to at times. And what's with Shooters? Me? Sorry Ihave. I wouldn't be caught dead with a bunch of Doherty cronys. How about you? Were you there? Did they serve Kool-aid?
Tell me something Shari, how are you ANY different than what you accuse us of? You're simple the other side of the coin...just about every post you've written here has basically been that "Chris Doherty is evil and is the only cause of all wrong in the City of Scranton". You're about as predictable as a Home Improvement episode (Tim Screws up and upsets Jill...Tim feels bad...Tim talks to Wilson...Tim apologizes to Jill...the end).
Most of us, I think, probably post on other boards about other topics. In fact you can post here about other topics. But come on..."Pilchesky angle"? What we do here is to look critically at Pilchesky(s) & DD, as Pilchesky certainly will not allow it on his board. Your "Pilchesky angle" comment makes about as much sense as complaining about why Hazelton isn't covered more in the Scranton City Data forum.

Oh contrare Ag. I normally don't drag Chris Doherty into a subject, unless it's a city or Chris Doherty subject. And I normally will not engage in some threads which I have no interest in. Glenn was simply discussing the subject of Fanucci running again and you brought up dd.com's posters and Plchesky into the subject. But I do understand this is Pilchesky Deceit and I did say I'm sorry. p.s. I never said Chris Doherty is evil. He's just a jerk who spends too much, has his priorities mixed up and and has buried this city in debt that will take many years to correct.
Glenn was simply discussing the subject of Fanucci running again and you brought up dd.com's posters and Plchesky into the subject.
Actually Agam posed the question "what do we think" about Sherri running in contrast to the other candidates. I responded to Agam's question.after that Glen commented on my answer. Basically Glen and I had a discusion and frankly the only one unhappy about it was you. Glen and I have often discussed various subjects... sometimes we agree......sometimes we don't ....big deal. What is your problem? If you don't like the subject manner don't jump in .....problem solved.

You're as intellectually stimulating as watching grass grow. Sorry about that, but that's how I feel. If you don't like my posts, don't jump in. Problem solved. You didn't answer one question. Was there Kool-Aid served at the mayor's party?
You're as intellectually stimulating as watching grass grow. LOL and yet you can't resist responding to me. LOL Sorry about that, but that's how I feel. If you don't like my posts, don't jump in. Problem solved. Uh....Einstein?? I think if you recheck you might notice that is was you who jumped in darling!! The post was started by Agam,responded to by me, afterwardsGlenresponded to me. As I have stated beforeI will stateagain, since the onlyposter who's panties were in a wad were you, if you don't likea post don't jump in. Problem solved. You didn't answer one question. Was there Kool-Aid served at the mayor's party? I wouldn't know what was served at the party as I wasn't there and have no intentionof attending any of them. I think they are a big waste of timebut that is just my intellectually stimulating as grass growing opinion. You, onthe other hand,I would bet have never missed one.

Lus the above post is squished and this is the corrected version (sorry to all who had to read this twice) I hope this helps
Ihave, that was overboard to say about you. You are obviously not a dumb person and I mean that sincerely. I apologise. I meant to say your posts are largely snippy and annoying to me. I didn't mean to insult your intelligence.
apology accepted :) You are correct I am snippy and annoying but I am doing it totease youlol I would only suggest trying not to take everything so serious. Life is much too short and hands you much too much grief without looking for it. Trust me there are much worse things going on in the world than what is happening in the city. :)
"Oh contrare Ag. I normally don't drag Chris Doherty into a subject, unless it's a city or Chris Doherty subject. And I normally will not engage in some threads which I have no interest in."
So because you basically only pick threads to post in where you can bash Doherty...deserved or not...that somehow makes you superior to folks that call out Pilchesky on his border-line psychotic behavior?? At best you're splitting hair Shari...at worst you're being hypocritical for criticizing others. What have I told about about this message board?
Repeat after me: "The name of this message board is Pilchesky Deceit". "The name of this message board is Pilchesky Deceit". "The name of this message board is Pilchesky Deceit". "The name of this message board is Pilchesky Deceit". I'll listen to your rational arguments and hell, I may even agree with you on rare occasion, but I'm not going to cede an inch of ground on the notion of what we do here. I hope you continue to post, but don't do it because you believe that somehow you are going to "convert the souls"...most of us think for ourselves, and besides the people you ally yourself with...Pilchesky and this merry bad of Thugs...drag your arguments down.

to vote for Fanucci because the loons support Evans is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard....I can't stand the loon....but Fanucci is terrible......she is wasting her time and money...she def gets the award for worst council person...her arrogance is mind blowing. !0 people at best typer across the hall and to vote for Sheryy for that reason I personally think is the reason why we have bad politicians.

We never said we would vote for sherry because the loons support Evans. I personally said I simply would not vote for anyone who panders to the loons next door. I have reposted below my response to Glen on this same issue. My perspective has not changed. I think the reason we have bad politicians is because of the fact that this my only option ......either vote for slimeballs who pander to the loons next door or vote for someone who doesn't ......instead of being able to vote for someone because I think they are good. Help me find that third option and I will gladly consider it carefully.
No Glen it actually demonstrates good judgment because unlike you I do not believe the ends justify the means. I will not justify Pilchesky's disgusting tactics by trying to make myself feel a little better by claiming "well at least his website does some good" as you have done.

You know what you can call her what you want ... but tell me this why is it ok for everyone to call her names and expect her to be nice ... what because she has been elected ... that does not give anyone the right to make fun of her ... they do it thining tht they are being funny ... and you know what ... most of us are not amused.
She was elected ... maybe not by you doomers and more likely than not by the kids across the hall ... but she is representing the voters who liked what she stood for ... and it's too damn bad if you all don't realize that you are not the do all and end all fo the city ... some people like her ... get over it!

So how about this ... Glenn give Sherry a compliment on DD ... and sort of brings up the Tax issue ... hmmmm ... what's he got on Joe ... seems that whatever he says ... he never gets banned!
Sherry Strikes Back So...not only does Ms. Fanucci manage to bring up the property tax payment issue in a surprisingly effective manner, she has also become quite adept at speaking into the camera and directly addressing the taxpayers.
If she actually stumbles upon saying something that has any substance (like, God forbid, a vision for the city that factors in even a glancing blow at financial ramifications), she may even have the potential to become quite a threat in this primary. That said, stating that the way to remedy a massive tax hike is by voting the miscreants out of office is akin to a doctor stating that the way to remedy a gunshot wound to the head is by seeking immediate medical attention.
In the end, you have still been shot in the head.
However, props to Ms. Fanucci for, at the very least, showing a willingness to take this one to the mat. This may get entertaining.
GC
P.S. How does a state employee and direct subordinate of the governor get Hatch clearance to run for council? Her office has no connection to any federal funding whatsoever? Interesting.
Sherry Fanucci will get crsuhed in this election. However, notwithstanding that undeniable fate, she has to be minimally respected for one thing and one thing only, she understands loyalty. She can do loyalty. She has given herself to the mayor heart and soul, whether for the job or for the mayor's politically suicidal missions.
She's dug her heels in since she was elected as a crony, rubberstamping, worthless public official, and she did it without embarrassment. She's proud to be a betrayer of the people. She seldom ducks, which is not a good political advantage.
She's not even ashamed to flash that 9th grade speaking level.
Any woman with legs like tree stumps who can wear a mid-thigh skirt is long over her identity issues. She makes do with what she has. She has credibility to herself as someone who can take what's dished out, the true politcal barometer. Another plus in the world of survival vs. what's-in-it-for-me?
Bottom line: Blast Fanucci and enjoy the rebuttal. She's a gamer to that extent, but be careful not to force her to consult her 12 year-old mentor.
Notice how Joe does not acknowledge the tax issue ... hey Joe ignoring it will not make it go away!!

He'll ignore this just like he ignores the trial in Erie. Remember the golden rule about bullies: they can only dish it out...they don't actually want to take it themselves.
Just imagine for a moment if it were Donna Doherty on trial for estate bilking in Erie. Do you think that would go undisclosed at DD? Not in a New York minute.
One of the real funny part in all of this, in my humble opinioin, lies with "Officer" Nelson. I recall clear as day the time he spoke in front of council complaining about The Times and about how he gets "...all his news from Doherty Deceit.com". Yuppp Nelson, you're apparently a well informed guy.

I am glad that you brought this up Ag ... here we have a guy who is claiming to report the "News" uncensored .... and well I say this is news and he is censoring it ... You are right that if he found this information out about anyone nevermind the Doherty's he would be shouting it from the rooftops ... they would be having a field day with it at DD ... they would be talking about it at Chicks diner over morning coffee and muffins ... but since he and his wife are the offenders ... estate bilking ... tax evasion on all levels as it seems ... well I guess the community is supposed to turn a blind eye to it. Why? Because he is doing so much for our city ... well hell he has done more to harm our city than any politician has ever done. Crying about taxes he has no intention of paying!

Lus for your information I voted for Sherri last time.....she is the laughing stock...I talk to LOTS of people and they all say, she is an embarassment to Doherty...you are there to do a job,,,do it and don't be arrogant about it. She will come in last in May. Sorry if you got insulted...but she plays her arrogance to the camera and it makes it worse.....Hate to sound like JOey...but no way can she win.
