Jacono appears likely GOP chair in Yonkers
There’s a new favorite for Yonkers Republican Party chairman. Though early odds were on Steve Levy and Justin Tubiolo, the outgoing chairman says the favorite at tonight’s party meeting is now John Jacono, the GOP’s previous chairman.
Zehy Jereis, who succeeded Jacono as chairman in 2003, says Levy and Tubiolo have told him they are no longer interested in the job. Levy’s and Tubiolo’s lack of interest, Jereis said, follows their conversations with Yonkers Mayor Phil Amicone.
But a word of warning is in place here. Jereis has his differences with Amicone – particularly after the mayor called for Jereis to resign after the party chairman was named in a federal investigation that appears related to an earlier subpoena for information from the City Council.
Reached for comment on Jereis’ claim, Amicone spokesman David Simpson said the mayor is “leaving it in the hands of the Republican leaders.”
Jereis is no fan of Jacono, either. He says Jacono failed to find Republicans in 2003 to challenge Democratic candidates for City Council in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd districts. Though those districts normally go Democratic, Jereis said a party chairman should not allow the opposition to get a free ride.

following up on jeries critique of mr jacono
the party shouldn’t give the opposition a free ride
how does he square that with abandoning both his
mayoral and 5th council district candidate john
murtaugh to support jodi mosiello…it doesn;t
pass the smell test..john jacono is a gentleman
that is all that is required
That word of warning in this item is called for.
Frankly, I wouldn’t believe Jereis if he told
me the 10 o’clock news came on at 10 o’clock.
If Jacono turns out to be the choice, OK.
AABJ….Almost Anybody but Jereis.
It should be Levy!!!!!
“a gentlemen is all that is required”
are you kidding me???? what happened to having a leader who groom good gop candidates for elected office?????
If you recall, I began waving the red flag
about Ali Zherka, etc. on this very blog
a few weeks ago. It was ignored.
Zherka himself is now running TV ads for Robertson.
HE is “Citizens Against Injustice,” which is not
a recognized PAC.
He admitted he was “Citizens Against Injustice”
on News 12 two nights ago.
If he has anyone in it with him, who are they?
This is the final death knell for Robertson.
zherka is now acknowledging he himself is
personally paying for the ads..ie
paid for by sam zherka…and the ads
benefit dennis.robertson..the democrats
picked a loser with ties to unsavory
characters..not going to play very well
with ethnic democrats in yonkers
That is both Guardian AND TV ads.
He had a commerical on News 12 tonight.
It blasted Amicone. So….it’s for Robertson.
Do you know what Zherka’s real first name is?
It goes well with his brother’s first name, Ali.
babba?
Like “Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves?”
It’s a Muslim name….just like Ali is.
Sam’s real first name is SELIM.
That is another substantiation of that
poster’s remarks. The commenter called
Zherka and his brother “Muslim Albanians.”
So, Muslims involved in criminal activity,
at least Ali is, and there are logical
suspicions about Sam. Lots of money floating
around. Who knows where some of it could
end up?
And there I thought the GOP was going to get rid of the old garbage…
The Yonkers Republicans did get rid of old
garbage—- Zehy Jereis.
The local Democrats soon will get rid of
some garbage too, when they reject Dennis
Robertson and his basically campaign manager
and chief contributor, offically or not,
Sam Zherka. Robertson is now owned by Zherka.
Of that there is no doubt.
keep saying it ethan… it might actually be true if you say it enough, right?
Yonkers Voter,
It’s easy to say it because it IS true.
The circumstantial and other evidence and
information is crystal clear.
It also is true that hounds are after both Zherka and
Robertson, and a number of others, besides.
You can perhaps figure out who those hounds are.
The Yonkers Republicans did get rid of old
garbageâ€â€- Zehy Jereis.
Oh, and the “new” guys never supported him.
