11/24/07 - The Rye Brook Boys Might Have Won The Election, But The Port Chester Boys Will Be In Control Of All The Rye Town Cash - Terenzi Can't Wait!


Port Chester Trustee Bob "Some Folks Say I Drink A Little Too Much" Sorensen And Disgraced ex-Rye Town Accountant Sam "I Am So Sleazy" Terenzi Went To A Local Port Chester Financial Institution On Behalf Of Supervisor Elect Joe Carvin.

The two Port Chester new financial wiz kids were making all kinds of representations about how Rye Town Supervisor Elect Joe Carvin is looking to move large sums of money around.

Port Chester Trustee Bob Sorensen and failed Conservative candidate Sam Terenzi have been telling local bankers they will be in charge of moving money around for the Town Of Rye.

Didn't Joe Carvin tell the Journal News interviewers that Sam Terenzi was in no way involved in his campaign or future administration?

I guess "ole" Joe Carvin got caught lying again.

It looks like that Joe Carvin will soon officially appoint Sam "I Am So Sleazy" Terenzi as the financial czar of the Town Of Rye.

What else was Terenzi promised by Joe Carvin?

Is this Joe Carvin's version of "Jobs For The Boys"

Maybe it's "Joe's Jobs For Cowboys"

Does Terenzi have to give Joe Carvin the conservative line in 4 years?

Oh wait I forgot, Sam Terenzi does not control the conservative line.

Rye Town Conservative Chairman Gene Branca controls the Rye Town Conservative Line.

Joe Carvin's Cowboys apparently scared the hell out of local bankers who contacted Rye Town Supervisor Bobby Moribito.

At the last Rye Town Board Meeting, Supervisor Bobby Morabito exposed the fact that Port Chester Trustee Bob Sorensen and Sam Terenzi were representing the Town Of Rye, and was not authorized by the current administration, to do so.

It looks like there is going to be fire works in the new Carvin Administration.
Joe Carvin's right hand man, Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen Who Files False Police Reports" Abel is bashing Port Chester Trustee Bob Sorensen and the rest of the Port Chester Board for considering using a certain Port Chester Bank.

Meanwhile, Carvin's Cowboys are trying to make big financial deals with the very same local institution.

It looks like the psychotic inmates are running Carvin's New Rye Town Institution,
But Don't Worry Doctor Janus "I Need Money" Richards Will Be The New Secretary That Will Record Every Twist And Turn Of The Slow Train Wreck Know As The Joe Carvin Administration.

11/24/07 - The burglars are striking during the day, often attempting bold break-ins when homes are unoccupied for only a short period of time.




Journal News


RYE BROOK - Police believe two burglaries that occurred in Rye Brook on Wednesday are connected to the dozen break-ins in Rye and Harrison this month.


Homes on Bonwit Road and Jennifer Lane were hit in the morning or early afternoon, with burglars snatching jewelry and laptops while homeowners were at work, said Sgt. Terence Wilson.


The methods the burglars used to enter and exit the homes have led police to believe they are linked to the others, he said.

11/16/07 - Rye Brook Nut John Boggi Is Pissed Off That Alec Baldwin Is Speaking Out On Indian Point. Thank God Boogi Didn't Call Mr. Balwin "Goebbels"


"Goebbels had nothing on the Rye Brook's Resident Luntic John Boggi"


Journal News

If you've ever watched "30 Rock," you know Alec Baldwin.

It's certainly not the only thing he's done, but it's the most "now" something that's crucial in the world of celebrity.

...No doubt this is as plant operators prefer; they really can jump "this" high when a regulation tells them exactly how high - the same way a diligent builder would attack a punchlist if her getting paid depended upon it. Perhaps that is why nuclear power plant license renewals, with nary an exception across the industry or the nation, are always forthcoming - in spite of the occasional objections from environmentalists, elected officials and others....

...Everyone should be heard on Indian Point - the plants' owner, the industry groups, the regulators, the environmentalists, the politicians, the celebrities. The more the merrier. But no one should forget whose role is paramount or has the potential to be. Voters, if they really wanted to, can decide whose interests are asserted in a forthright fashion....
