I suggested that it was unfair to offer comments while anonymous that I did not consider fair. Clearly Observer does not like a challenge. I'm all for harmonious debate... but I like to know the opposition. Letting people post anonymously will create situations like this and maybe you should consider NOT allowing anyone that option...for the sake of openness. leonardo siderihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238144897574760385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-76366716141747683252014-08-01T11:35:58.145-04:002014-08-01T11:35:58.145-04:00Please, Leonardo Sideri and Observer, this exchang...Please, Leonardo Sideri and Observer, this exchange of comments (and insults) needs to stop now.

I don't know you. <br />The answers to your two questions: yes and yes. <br />Now, let 's see: was I ever sued by a 501(c) 3 church for the misappropriation of an opportunity? No. Have I threatened the general public by placing electric shock warnings on my property? No. Do I keep a Columbia County elected public official on my payroll? No. Do I plan to put an SRO on Warren Street? No. Do I warehouse and REFUSE to maintain and renovate any properties I might own in Hudson? No. Do I turn up my nose at my fellow Hudsonians in an imperious manner? No. <br />And as for your post, Mr. Sideri, it is obvious to me that you find yourself in a lonely and sycophantic corner.

There were only two signs on Warren Street in support of Hallenbeck when he ran against Nick Haddad--at American Glory and on Galloway's lot at 5th and Warren. The Mayor, the 5th Ward and American Glory are united in pushing back on the progress brought in by what some on the Voy forum call the "citiots". <br />To say that the current Mayor and Scalera are distinct from Galvan reeks of duplicity.

Wolfe House Movers, however, was hired by someone else altogether to move a different house located not in Hudson but in another part of the county.
