Way to go, Gary Rosa!

A reader has recently pointed out to me that Gary Rosa is not active in his judicial campaign for the position of Delaware County/Family court judge (in New York).

I double-checked on the web - and was pleasantly surprised that the contrary is true.

Judicial candidate Gary Rosa is not only active, but is delivering rightly deserved criticism for the judicial candidate Porter Kirkwood for signing contracts for millions of taxpayer dollars where contracts were never subjected to bidding system, which is the ULTIMATE CORRUPTION.

Here is the newspaper report with a fuller account of Gary Rosa's criticism of Porter Kirkwood - which is all true and all fair, I must add.

As I stated in private and in public before, I know Gary Rosa as a Middletown town justice, through my appearance in front of him.

One thing that must be said about Gary Rosa as a judge is that, unlike his opponent Porter Kirkwood, he is a straight shooter, with an even temperament and rulings on the law, not upon wishes of the judge's buddies.

Porter Kirkwood is a political animal who is corrupt to his core, as more and more evidence of his dealings, as the recent audit of the Delaware County demonstrated, and as the recent news that Delaware County police, probation and prosecution are all financed out of conviction fines, with the blessings of both judicial candidates from the Republican party - Porter Kirkwood and Richard Northrup.

As a Republican myself, I wonder - can't the Republican party find somebody honest to run for a judge?

For shame!

And, by the way, Carl Becker in his campaign where he allegedly "eked" out a victory over Gary Rosa (through fraudulent statements to the voters and, possibly, through manipulation of ballots by the Delaware County Board of Elections controlled by Becker for years to the point that it submitted a false certificate of his prior elections in 2011 when no underlying documents to back up such a certification existed) pounded on his superior experience as a judge.

Yet, as Gary Rosa correctly stated to his electorate, he is the only candidate in the current judicial race who has ANY experience as a judge, and his ANY experience is not one, not two years, but 23 years on the bench and, I must add, unblemished years.

Gary Rosa is an absolutely superior candidate over the corrupt Porter Kirkwood.

As to the corrupt Richard Northrup who runs against nobody, "nobody" is a better candidate for a judge than Richard Northrup.
