Battle Lines Being Drawn

It seems County Exec Hein can't wait for January 6th to get here. He, in his usual 'bull in a China shop' manner, has gone out and fired the first volley at not yet inducted Legislative Chairman, Fred Wadnola.
As reported in both the Times Herald Record and Kingston Times, 'Headfirst Hein' intimated that Mr. Wadnola was involved with the 'Lower Esopus River Watch' (LERW), in a less than ethical manner. While LERS was investigated by the NYS Attorney Generals Office, their report found Fred's affiliation to be above board, the investigation also showed Mr. Wadnola's involvement came long after the period in question.
There are few people in the public arena (sometimes even his Democrat friends fall in his cross hairs), that Mr. Hein has refrained from criticizing, many have been outright attacked but is the opinion of this blog that picking a fight with Fred could damage Hein's credibility even further, after all, Fred Wadnola's reputation for public service is well documented.
I think the next 2 years will be if nothing else, entertaining, it should provide topics for discussion for the balance of Hein's term as County Exec and make his re-election bid, (if he really thinks he has a chance), a little more difficult.

This is one fight Hein really doesn't want, especially when the long list of his questionable affiliations are fair game!

  1. It's only going to get better after the 6th of jan. I hear the AG is having a party with Hein's personnel. It gets more interesting by the day,
    GOOD LUCK with the blog, I hope it stays active, unlike so many others.
