Drew Marzullo
Voters rejected a homophobic candidate and elected a gay one. I can’t say either matters, although one is a personal belief that gives me the creeps, the latter is just who the person is, but I’m glad for our town that the choice went the way it did. Besides, Drew is a great guy and if I can just wean him from Frankie Fudrucker’s influence and lead him to see the error of his political views, he’ll be a terrific public official. Just so long as he doesn’t over-compensate and become a Republican.

CF, I met Drew on the campaign trail this year….he too asked for my vote but I didn’t giveth. Is he a town employee as a paramedic?
He seems like a nice enough guy. I don’t have any sense of what his agenda is if he even has one. The soft pitch he gave is that he will be kinder, softer, gentler than the current administration which doesn’t really thrill me..nor does it anger me either…its just not much of a position. We’ll see….he’s no doubt ten times better than lying Lin.
About lying Lin. Oddly I received her infamous Boat-gate mailer last Friday. Wow, what a load of sh_t in that mailer. The entire mailer was full of deeply negative campaigning. The kind of stuff you see in federal elections, not small town municipal elections. Nowhere in the mailer did lying Lin offer up her plan, her way, her ideas with respect to each of her grievences with Tesei. That kind of campaigning often works at the federal level, but I don’t think it works here in town because none of the issues we are dealing with are the kind of issues that can’t be addressed in about 3 sentences. We are not tinkering with health care, foreign policy or macro economics. Yes, the boat issue is certainly the dagger that killed the campaign, but the rest of the story out of her shop was entirely too negative. She seemed to be grasping for issues.
Hey any relation to this 49 – 50 yr old kid from west side of town?
I don’t know much about boats and harbor masters. But based on last week’s other local news events, I made a point of casting a vote for Sluggin’ Bill Grad.
So did I, Red and for the same reason!
When we went to vote in Glenville last Tuesday, I had a brief chat with Mrs. Grad on the way into the voting area. I told her I was going to cross my chosen party line for only one candidate–her husband, Bill.
Rationale? His relevant experience that other candidates for the position lacked plus his forcefully effective smackdown at the RR station. She thanked me quite graciously and stated that being on the platform for that dust up was not fun!
While I don’t know Drew Marzullo, I was quite pleased to see the next AM that he won his selectman position, thus sending Lyin’ Lin back to the Junior League where her intellect will be meaningfully challenged.
