Ascension to the bench through intimidation? Turf wars in Delaware County continue...

I recently blogged about the turf wars in Delaware County, and also about the perverse financial incentives that the Delaware County put in place for its prosecutors, police and probation officers - with the blessing of the two attorneys, public officials, who are currently running for judicial positions, one in replacement of the outgoing (better say "outrunning") Judge Becker, and another - to fill the new position that the Delaware County begged and received from New York State, even though judicial caseload in Delaware County, upon my information, goes down, not up.

I also blogged about the incidents of intimidation where my friends and their families started to get approached by certain individuals with certain hints and threats to drop lawsuits against a Delaware County policeman, stop blogging "with Tatiana Neroni", whatever that means, OR ELSE.

I have been advised that the intimidation is getting worse, and now, as I understand, whoever is trying to unleash this intimidation campaign is completely losing it and is urging police officers in Delaware County not to do business with my clients, my friends and my friends' and my clients' family members, even though there are not many alternatives to such "doing business" and even though police officers were "doing business" with the businesses in question not for years, but for decades.

I understand that there are more bears than people in Delaware County and that every vote counts.

I understand that people in Delaware County are, on the one hand, usually apathetic to vote, but, on the other hand, during last elections voters showed an interestingly high support for the judicial candidate Gary Rosa, in fact, so high, that at first Gary Rosa was declared a winner of the 2012 judicial elections - before Judge Becker-dominated Election Board recounted the ballots and "eked out a victory".

I understand that Delaware County provides a lot of jobs, and a lot of jobs to relatives and even clans, and that it is easy to pressure a Delaware County employee to "volunteer" for a campaign of a certain judicial candidate or to vote the way the particular judicial candidate with ties to or high-ranking position in Delaware County would want.

But, when a judicial candidate, or individuals acting on his behalf, are so desperate to put that judicial candidate on the bench that they start to getting sloppy, to advertise shady deals as "savings to taxpayers" while in reality they demonstrate that they do not give a rat's ass as to the well-being of the taxpayers or saving their money, it is becoming just a little bit too obvious to the various intimidation incidents as a mere coincidence.

When police officers are encouraged not to purchase certain items and services from Delhi businesses where they were purchasing such items and services for - not years - decades, and when the alternative is to go miles out of Delhi and cost taxpayers additional money, that is not savings, that is putting the paw of the abusers of their governmental position directly in taxpayers' pocket and making taxpayers pay for the fight for the bench and for intimidation campaign against critics of governmental misconduct.

If that is happening before Kirkwood and Northrup saddled those benches, think what will happen after.

The campaign of intimidation unleashed against my friends, clients and family members of friends and clients that happened right after I criticized the two judicial candidates in my blog, with documentary evidence of their misconduct, happened too close in time not to have at least an appearance of a causal relationship.

Moreover, the old rule "who benefits" point to the judicial candidates and Delaware County officials, including the one sued for a vehicular manslaughter and his uncle who works for the DA's office that prosecutes the victim of that assault instead of the perpetrator.

You will not get justice if County Attorney Kirkwood and District Attorney Northrup become judges.

You will simply get more corruption than you have now, and now you have too much already.

Vote against Kirkwood and Northrup.

Address the "eligibility committees" to revoke their eligibility status as judges.

Their ascension to the bench will be a continuing disaster for Delaware County.
