Stay in Albany
-

- 20
State Assemblyman Greg Ball, R-Patterson, wants his colleagues to stay in Albany until the state Legislature and the governor enact a cap on property taxes. That was the gist of a press conference Ball held this morning, where he laid out several suggestions for Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi, chairman of the state Commission on Property Tax Relief.
The legislative session is slated to end Monday. No word if Ball’s fellow lawmakers will hang around Albany at his request. Ball said he was making his recommendations now, which can be found after the break, because it took time for his School Tax Reform Task Force to develop them and he was waiting to hear the Suozzi commission’s recommendations, which were released this month. Pointing to recent talk in Albany about a tax cap, Ball said if action isn’t taken now, it will be another two years before the issue is seriously considered.
Ball faces a re-election challenge from Republican John Degnan. Degnan said he’s been studying the Suozzi report and he supports a property tax cap. He added he was disappointed the session appeared to be ending with nothing enacted.
At this morning’s press conference, Ball took some heat from Mahopac resident Robert Buckley. The two have clashed in the past. Buckley faulted Ball for twice voting against the STAR program, where a portion of a home’s value is exempted from school property taxes. Buckley pointed to Assembly bills 9803 and 4307.
Both of those were part of “fiscally irresponsible” state budgets in 2007 and this year, Ball replied.
“I vote against bloated budgets,” said Ball, adding he supports the STAR program and its expansion.
Anyway, after the break, as I promised, find his press release, which lays out his suggestions for the Suozzi commission.
FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATELY

BALL & LOCAL OFFICIALS CALL ON STATE:
“STAY IN ALBANY TO ENACT PROPERTY TAX CAP”
Assemblyman Greg Ball (R – Patterson) was joined by Putnam County Legislator
Anthony Fusco (R-Mahopac), Southeast Town Supervisor Michael Rights, Members
of the United Taxpayers of Yorktown, and various members of Assemblyman Ball
’s School Tax Reform Task Force at a series of press conferences today in
Yorktown, Carmel and Pawling calling on the State Legislature and Governor
to stay in Albany and immediately enact a cap on property taxes.
“Property taxes are making the dream of homeownership a
nightmare for thousands of working families, seniors and taxpayers. School
tax reform is the single most important issue facing this state and even
before coming into office and every-day since, I have been calling on the
state leaders to enact a meaningful, long-term, and comprehensive solution.
For the first time in a long time real property tax reform is gaining
traction and the legislature must stay in session until we pass a bill,”
said Ball.
The idea of a property tax cap originated in the Assembly
Republicans’ Property Taxpayer Protection Act, of which Ball is a sponsor.
Specifically, the bill would put in place a cap on property tax annual
growth at 4 percent, or the rate of inflation (whichever is less). The bill
also allows local communities to exceed the cap with a 2/3 majority public
vote. The omnibus legislation also includes mandate relief for local
governments and school districts, including requiring the state to pay for
certain exams, currently paid for by school districts. The estimated
taxpayer savings of this plan is expected to be $16 billion over a 5-year
period.
Recently, the idea to create a cap on property taxes has gained
steam with some leaders in Albany, including Governor Paterson and some
members of the State Senate. A 4 percent cap was recommended by the
independent Commission on Property Tax Relief and is supported by over 70
local governments statewide. Additionally, according to a June 16, 2008
poll by the Siena Research Institute, at least 74 percent of New Yorkers
support this plan. However, despite this support, the legislation was
shelved by Assembly Democrats.
In order to help bring both sides of the aisle together on this issue and
deliver meaningful property tax relief, Assemblyman Ball, working with
members of his local Task Force on School Property Tax Reform, have put
together a series of important amendments and suggestions regarding a
property tax cap. It is the Assemblyman’s hope that these amendments and
suggestions will help sway the Assembly Democrats into considering the bill
before this year’s regular legislative session ends on Monday.
Assemblyman Ball’s Property Tax Relief Plan addresses a property tax cap,
mandate relief, and other measures, including:
a.. Ensuring school districts receive an increase in state Foundation Aid,
not to be less than the rate of inflation, while limiting the amount a
school district can increase their tax levies to 2.5 percent annually, with
an exception for energy and capital costs incurred by the school district.
The cap may be increased in proportion to the net percentage increase in
enrollment, annually, and voters would have the ability to override the cap
with a 55 percent majority vote, or a 60 percent majority vote, if the
school district’s state aid increase is greater than 5 percent.
a.. Providing 100 percent reimbursement for any state mandate that is
imposed on a school district by the state, including the 4th and 8th grade
Math and English tests. Creates the Office of State Inspector General for
Education to investigate financial abuse and misconduct in schools, while
helping consolidate school district paperwork requirements and allowing
municipalities and school districts the option to pool insurance costs, all
of which would save taxpayer dollars.
a.. Providing for all newly hired teachers to be employees of the state,
therefore, reducing a school district’s cost for salaries, health insurance
and retirement benefits, repealing Wicks law requirements imposed on
construction projects, requiring that school districts prepare a zero based
budget each year, therefore, eliminating unnecessary spending.
a.. Provide Enhanced STAR recipients with a property tax freeze.
a.. Provides parents of special needs students with a voucher worth 90
percent of what the estimated cost to educate their child at a public school
would be, to be used at their choice of education setting for their child.
“The bottom line is that property taxes are driving residents and jobs from
our state at an alarming rate. A tax cap will stop the hemorrhaging and correct the system over time and neighboring states like Massachusetts have done the same thing and their schools have not suffered. I am calling on the Governor and the State Legislature to not leave Albany until our taxpayers have the relief that they desperately need,” stated Ball.

After a little research it did reveal that Assemblyman Greg Ball did in fact vote against the STAR program which gives tax relief to the middle class and senior citizens. I am concerned with why Greg Ball would vote against a bill that would give residents in his district tax relief.
ALL senate and assemblymenbers should be made to stay in Albany and earn their pay checks. After searching, base salary is 79,500 per year….so earn it. Not being a Ball fan, this is probably the only thing that he has requested that is good sense. Stay in Albany, ALL OF THEM. For elected officials to depart and leave the taxpayers struggling is a crime and they should not be paid if they do not do the job.
I don’t think so.
Ball knows that he has zero influence on what the Assembly will do, this is just a typical meaningless Ball sound bite.
However, if the public is adamant and vociferous, this could be the chance for an Assembly coup to replace Silver as Il Duce. It would be a miraculous event, but one that stands a chance if the public backs them. The Democrat they choose HAS to be better, if only for the reason that that chosen person would (hopefully) not be in the unions’ and trial-lawyers’ pockets.
All Ball does is call meaningless rallies and press conferences. WHO CARES? He’s had two years to get something done. ANYTHING. He hasn’t done a thing, and he knows it. That’s why he does nothing but call Degnan name after name after name. Nothing about his own record, his own worthless record.
It’s a shame. Ball really is a psycho. According to people in Pawling, Ball has been planning for a political run since the age of 13. The only reason he went to the Air Force Academy was to get himself a solid resume. Even Ball knows this to be true. When he graduated from the Air Force Academy, he commanded NOBODY. He was placed in charge of NOTHING. They had no idea what to do with him, so they gave him a meaningless and do-nothing protocol officer job at an administrative base in Washington DC. He never even served in a foward area. In fact, he never even served at a real Air Force base. Ball should have been insulted, but quite the contrary. He loved it. That’s how he had so much time on his hands. Enough time to run CUEG and the Courage Cup (ever wonder how a recent Air Force Academy graduate had enough time on his hands, in the middle of a two-front war, to engage in these activities?) Speaking of “wondering”, ever wonder why a guy who graduated from the Air Force Academy two years prior was never sent to Iraq or Afghanistan? Ask him during the debate, then when he provides another false answer, I have a feeling some paperwork is going to handed to him. Paperwork that will explain how a perfectly healthy, 24 year old Academy graduate, in the prime of his life, mysteriously never made it to the war (while 60 year old Air National Guardsman were being activated against their wishes).
You go, Robert Buckley. You got guts. Keep exposing the truth. You’re doing a public service, ridding our government of fraud.
Is there going to be a debate during the summer or fall? Any info would be appreciated on this so people can attend.
If there is information to clear up Mr. Balls early departure and lack of deployment during time of war, many of us wuold like answers so this issue can be put to rest for the voters.
It keeps coming up and it could very well make a difference on how we vote.
Look forward to watching/listening to debate when it is done, to clarify military issue.
Ball will never answer your military questions. Not truthfully, anyway. How can a guy graduate from the Air Force Academy and be off active duty in 3 years? Everyone who’s ever served knows how long everything takes in the military. Nothing happens overnight. Which means that Air Force Second Lieutenant Greg Ball was looking for a way out the moment he graduated from the Air Force Academy. These are very disturbing questions:
*how did a brand new 2nd Lieutenant right out of the Air Force Academy get stationed in such a cushy and meaningless job as Protocol Officer?
*why was Ball, an Academy graduate, never put in Command of troops?
*why was Ball, an Academy graduate, never even stationed at a real Air Force base?
*why was Ball, an Academy graduate, never put in charge of a unit?
*why was Ball, an Academy graduate, even considered for an early out program?
*why was Ball, an Academy graduate, not required to serve his full committment of 5 years MINIMUM?
*why was Ball, a perfectly healthy, twenty-something Academy graduate,not sent to Iraq or Afghanistan? There are 60 year old Air National Guardsman in the inactive reserve who have been activated against their will. Why wasn’t he deployed?
*with our continued fighting on two fronts, why does Ball continue to evade being activated for service overseas? Why won’t they activate him?
Ask yourself these questions. Then ask yourself why Ball won’t answer any military questions.
Ball is going to be exposed for the fraud that he is. Ball will not evade the questions that the residents in his district need to hear the answers to, Ball can duck and hide now, but prior to the elections, Ball will have to answer many questions that he is uncomfortable with.
The show is on the other foot now Mr. Ball. It is now your turn to face the music.
I have a feeling that Greg Ball is done. The strange thing is, I think Greg Ball knows this, too. He knows he’s in serious trouble. Let’s face it. A guy who does nothing but expect people to believe everything that comes out of his mouth eventually will fall. HARD. Telling people that he’s accumulated more power in one year than Senator Leibell has accumulated in 20 years was a major, major mistake. Leibell has his strength from 30 years of doing good, not from simply being a State Senator. It takes time to build that type of power. Sorry, Greg, for the first time in your life you can’t take the easy way out. For the first time in your life you’re going to be held accountable. You can’t scam your way out of this one, no matter how hard you try. You scammed the Air Force into giving you a scholarship, you scammed the Air Force into hooking you up with that protocol officer job, and you scammed the residents of the 99th with all your hyperbole and fear mongering two years ago. But it’s over now, and you know it. You’re having major problems getting people excited, you’re having major problems getting people to listen to you this time around, and you’re having major problems raising money.
It’s over.
Everyone should thank Robert Buckley for fighting FRAUD in government.
Who in hell is Robert Buckley? Furthermore, who cares who Robert Buckley is? And who cares with all this pro and con Ball nonsense? Sounds like a Mets/Yankees blog.
Ed,
I see it hurts when the truth is finally being exposed. “All this Ball pro and con”? Are you serious? This man has turned out to be a FRAUD, and you now want to write it off? Greg Ball is using the same campaign as 2 years ago, fabricating scenes of day laborers destroying things, writing in “MS-13” on a wall, then taking 150 pictures in front of it, pointing to it, with tough-guy faces on and sleeves rolled up. Meanwhile, one of their own people wrote MS-13 on the wall. There isn’t one person who believes that MS-13 scribble is authentic, yet there they are, sending out mailers about that hilarious claim about MS-13. They continue to believe it’s 2006, not 2008.
Who is Robert Buckley? Type in “Assemblyman Greg Ball” on Youtube, and you’l see a tape that Buckley made of Ball threatening him when Ball thought nobody was looking. The tape has 7,000 views, with many in the 99th having viewed it. When Ball has his press conferences, Buckley is there as well, telling the facts.
Why didn’t Greg Ball deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan? If he BEGGED his chain of command to not send him to the war zone in Iraq, would that change your opinion of Greg Ball? Or would you continue to believe that his not depoying during a two-front war was all a big coincidence? That his being a protocol officer right out of the Academy was nothing but a mere coincidence? That having never served on a real Air Force base was just a mere coincidence?
Just say, for a moment, that Greg Ball BEGGED not to be sent to Iraq in 2003. That this “BEGGING” is all in writing. What would you think about that?
Robert Buckley is a person who is working to help defeat Greg Ball this year. Greg Ball is a fraud and he needs to be exposed for who he is. Greg Ball comes across like he really cares for the average citizen, but the truth of the matter is Greg Ball only cares about Greg Ball, Greg is mean and spiteful and he try’s to intimidate those who he believes are weak or thin skinned.. If any of you wish to help Robert Buckley defeat Greg Ball this year, please e-mail him at Defeatball2008@aol.com and he will add you to his mailing list. He will be keeping the residents up to date on issues that he thinks are important in the race for the 99th Assembly District.
Never fails that atleast once a week, there is something about the 99th Rep. on this Politics on the Hudson !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably Mr. Ball likes the attention.
Poster has suggested that perhaps there is something about Mr. Ball not wanting to go defend his country, or I mean not going to Iraq in 2003???? After receiving an education from the air force, Mr. Ball should have wanted to go and defend the USA.
We will have to check this site more often, so full of tidbits.
DEFINITION OF GREG BALL : A WOMANIZER, A LIAR , AND A REAL CON MAN….TOO BAD….. THE PUBLIC ISNT FOOLED THIS TIME !
is greg’s pop hitting the sauce again??? he seems to be running around the district making threats against those who do not support greggie. not a very good idea.
mahopacman and brewster juice..guess I had better keep checking this site ! What bits of gossip you have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why would Mr. Balls ‘pop’ be threating people? That is kinda scarey.
Well supposedly Greg threatened the Conservative party chair last month. There are videos of Greg on YouTube threatening somebody (just Google “real greg ball”). It doesn’t surprise me to hear rumors of other threats.
What’s the difference if he asks them to stay in Albany? In over a year, nothing he’s worked on has made it anywhere. Check out the comments below this story on the LoHud news page. Albany OKs bill to let Putnam hire attorney from outside county
Greg clearly has tried to intimidate those who go against him or the candidates he supports. Greg has his henchman “Matty” running around with video cameras and photo cameras following elected officials and others who disagree with him. Greg has tied himself with some shady characters in the last year. I think Greg has a multi-personality, in his capacity as an Assemblyman he can play the role of a nice person, but those who know him best say he is crazy and he will lie about anything or anyone. The video on youtube with the guy campaigning against Greg (youtube the real Greg Ball) is interesting, Greg is seen threatening the guy and then asking him if he was molested as a child. This has to show you something about Greg and his true self.
Ball is a horrible Assemblyman, he is the most ineffective Assemblyman in the history of NYS. He votes against the STAR program which would help the seniors and the middle class.
Here are some of the proposed legislation that Ball has been the key sponsor of, the problem for Ball and those in his district is anything Ball touches dies. Ball cannot get any legislation signed into law, Ball is the worst legislator of our times. Ball and his friend Spitzer are one and the same, they are both frauds.

Ball has two major problems today,
1) He is running out of money and supporters
2) He is having a hard time getting the signatures he needs to get on the ballot
You only need 500 signatures to get on the ballot, they already have enough for the Republican/Independence/Conservative lines.
The Neuringer guy does seem to be his biggest liability. Ball should dump him and be done with it.
However, that Buckly character looks worse then Ball on that video, harassing and goading him with a hidden camera. Ball’s response was certainly inappropriate, but if it was me I would have punched him in the face. He certainly would have deserved it.
Buckley’s older emails available on Carmel Resident.org show his unflinching loyalty to Willis Stephens, telling people that we should not get involved in the political process and that we should “Run for town board or something” and “leave politics to the big boys”.
Robert Buckley, John Degnan and Willis Stephens never served this country. I have far more of a right to public office then they do.
Hey Army Veteran,
Robert Buckley, John Degnan and Willis Stephens never scammed a $1 million, all expenses paid scholarship from the US Air Force Academy either, like Greg Ball did.
Robert Buckley is fighting FRAUD by exposing Ball for what he really is. I saw that video several times…..Bll was at fault. He thought nobody was looking. Imagine without the camera? He would have lied about the whole thing, as usual.
To set the record straight, Buckley did not have a hidden camera, Buckley had a camera around his neck for all to see. Buckley was driving by the area where he had previously placed several Stephens’s signs in the ground and observed that Neuringer and Ball were placing Ball signs around Stephens’s signs so people could not see the Stephens signs. Buckley got out of his vehicle and asked Ball and Neuringer why they were being so immature and both responded in a negative manner. Buckley was taking pictures of what Ball and Neuringer had done with the signs and Neuringer starting moving the Ball signs and relocating them away from the Stephens signs, they were caught dead handed playing dirty politics. At some point Buckley determined that Ball may get aggressive and he flipped his camera into a video mode and hence the video. As far as who was aggressive in the video, take a close look at who was walking toward who, Greg Ball was approaching Buckley waiving his finger at him telling Buckley to look into his eyes and then Ball proceeded top threaten Buckley. I would say Buckley was quite calm through this whole ordeal, if Ball had made those comments to someone else he may have found himself flat on his backside. It appeared that Ball was trying to bait Buckley into hitting him or acting overly aggressive, Ball knew this situation was taking place on busy Route 6, Ball also knew that the people watching could not hear his threat or his “child molestation remark” to Buckley. Buckley exposed one part of Ball that people have been talking about for the last year, Ball’s mean, spirited hidden side is now on youtube for all to see. Those who support Ball will condone his actions, those who do not like Ball will think he is a jerk, those who are in the middle or unsure of Ball will surely reconsider their position after viewing the video. Ball is a complete fraud.
This is an important Public Notice. Any person or person’s opposing Greg Ball’s reelection is being put on notice that you can be the subject of,
•You should be prepared to be harassed by G.B. and his team
•You will be followed and video taped
•You can expect to be threatened by individuals who are part of G.B.’s team
•You can expect G.B. and his team to lie about you
•You can expect distorted photo’s of you to be circulated by G.B. and his team
•You should always be aware of your surroundings and always assume that G.B., M.N. or someone else from their team is lurking
•G.B.’s likes to use fear as one of his main components to discourage his opposition, he will do anything if he believes he will not be caught
•Remember all those things that were done to the person who ran against their candidate in Southeast
•G.B. and his team believe in gutter politics, he will do anything or say anything to win an election.
The orginal story above is about Greg Ball not supporting the STAR Program which would have given the middle class and seniors in his district some tax relief. Greg Ball voted no for the STAR Program. Therefore, Greg Ball voted no for tax relief for the 99th Assembly District.
You’d think Greg Ball was running for president of the US with all the pro and con posts about him. Probably not read by more than 50 people. Too much hatred, too. And that’s how I see it. If some don’t like that, tough.
Wahoo,
You’re a true visionary. You hit it on the head. Ball has every intention of one day becoming President of the United States. He believes he’s Presidential material. At this point, though, I think Ball has hit some major pot-holes in his road to the White House. He accomplished nothing while saying too much. Too many people have him figured out already. That’s not part of Greg’s plan. His plan is to not be in one place for too long, this way nobody can expect any accomplishment out of him. But the Congressional thing didn’t work out, so he’s stuck in the Assembly spot. Believe me, Ball does not want to be an Assemblyman. It’s beneath him. Assemblyman is merely a stepping stone to greater things, for a man of his accomplishments (LOL).
He’s going to have to at some point come clean (or dirty) about what happened in the military.
*Why did Ball only serve half his time?
*Why did Ball get a job right out of the Air Force Academy whose purpose is to do absolutely nothing?
*Why did Ball never get sent to Iraq?
*Why did Ball never get sent to Afghanistan?
*Why wasn’t Ball angry that the Air Force refused to send him to the war zone? Shouldn’t he have been insulted?
*Why did Ball start looking for a way out of the active duty Air Force the moment he graduated from the Air Force Academy?
*Why did Ball waste the Air Force’s time?
*Why did Ball waste a scholarship slot at the Air Force Academy, and instead give it to someone who had honorable intentions?
These are not angry questions. Every one of these questions is legitimate.
Robert Buckley should be thanked for fighting FRAUD in government.
I guess Matt Neuringer is to busy taking videos and pictures of people to post on Lohud under his assumed name. Usually Matty does Gregory’s dirty work, those of you who are not supporting Gregory and you have openly spoke against Gregory, be careful, Matty will follow you in hopes of getting a good picture of you to discredit you. Matty has already been seen around town lurking behind trees, cars and shopping aisles. This is the Ball way of doing business. Matty has been know to stalk people for his boss, Mr. Gregory Ball.
I agree that Robert Buckley is doing a good job of trying to let people see the real Greg Ball. Keep up the good work Robert.
The original story was about Assemblyman Greg Ball voting “No” for the STAR Program legislation. Greg Ball voted against tax relief for the middle class and senior citizens in his district. Everything else is a distration from the original point in the article.
Have to laugh, anything about Ball becomes a major distraction of information. Ball appears to be a different person depending on who deals with him. A quick change artist???
When there is anything about Ball in the press, it becomes a major article for comments. Does Ball deserve that much press?
He gets more ink, pro and con, on these blogs than a squid. Go figure.
Ball gets more ink because those who know him are trying to expose him for the fraud that he is. If people review the facts and the comments made by bloggers they will see for themselves that Greg Ball is truely “King Fraud”.
To show how mmature Greg Ball really is, OUT OF CHILDISH SPITE, Assemblyman Greg Ball was the only Assemblyman in the entire State of New York to vote aainst the recent proposal by Senator Leibell to permit Putnam County to hire an attorney who is not a County resident. This was done OUT OF SPITE AND RETRIBUTION. To show you how much more powerful and popular and Senator Leibell is than Greg Ball, the ENTIRE ASSEMBLY voted for this measure, except Ball. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. And Leibell is in the Senate, not the Assembly. Ball couldn’t get a single Assemblyman to vote along with him, on a measure affecting Ball’s own district. How ineffective is that?
That should put to rest any questions about who the most popular and most effective and powerful elected official is in Putnam County.
And Yes, Robert Buckley deserves a medal for standing up to Ball for the good of the people. Ball has lost any credibility he gained 2 years ago. From what everyone is saying, sounds like his once-powerful Army is reduced to Matt Neuringer following people in public.
BOB BUCKLEY IS MY HERO!!!
GOOD FOR HIM, KEEP EXPOSING BALL. KEEP QUESTIONING HIM.
GREG IS A PATHETIC EXPLOITATIVE LOSER…
The score right now is
BUCKLEY-4
BALL-0
The battle to defeat Greg Ball must continue, the momentum is building, Greg Ball and his supporters are loosing steam. Greg Ball is no longer rolling as the his saying goes. The steamroller has begun and that is the people who have seen and heard enough of Greg Ball and his tactics and want him removed from office. It is time for new leadership in the 99th Assembly District, keep a close eye on the campaign of John Degnan, he is a fine man who will serve with compassion and I am sure he will be a great representative for all of us in Albany.
word on the street is that ball is having a real tough time raising adequate cash for this election. he knows he’s up against the wall, feeling a bit caged in. he knows that he will outspent and outworked so desperation will inevitably set in. this is scary prospect considering that greg ball is already a pretty desperate campaigner, doing anything and everything (including telling lies) to get elected. time will tell what nonsense ball will roll out with. but he should remember that what goes around comes around.
Anyone can go to campaign web sites for people running for office. Balls shows he loaned mega bucks to his campaign finance and even though it shows money from contributors, the debt he owes himself certainly reduces funds. Maybe people carry these debts for a long time, and never recoup these dollars as campaign litter is expensive as are the robo calls.
Greg Ball is the biggest fraud out there. People are starting to see him for what he is, “A Phony”. It is true regarding the money, Ball is having a hard time raising the needed cash to run an effective campaign. Those who gambled on him last campaign and invested in him now realize that Ball is a bad investment, he is a “Big fat zero”, he is unable to accomplish anything but publicity for himself while never getting any legislation passed. Donations only come in when you produce, if you must lend your campaign money to prove you have money, then you campaign is in trouble. Ball is like watching a sinking ship slowly going down, soon the fish will be bottom feeding with Ball.
Ball has his sidekick following people around in public places. He’s got no cash. His Army is down to nothing. He’s on the street.
Must be tough to be Greg Ball right about now. All the lies he told two years ago, the ones that everyone fell for, are no longer working.
It is wonderful to see a man who made it by lying to people now have to face the music of his own words and his own lies. Greg Ball is a Ball Faced Liar.
I don’t think Greg is realizing that his 2006 tactics are backfiring. People don’t want to hear the nonsense, they don’t care about Sheldon Silver and the Old Guard silliness. They cre about what performance Ball did in Albany for two years, and what his record is. And the fact is that Greg Ball did nothing but campaign for 2 years, campaign for himself and for his cohorts in Southeast andbrewster in an effort to bring in Exceed Development and make millions of dollars for himself. That was his plan.
People learned that Greg Ball is nothing but a spoiled, eccentric, immature, self-centered egomaniac who needs a title next to his name, and who has been planning a political run for 15 years. Mayn people were snowed by him 2 years ago, but no more, he doesn’t have nearly the support he did 2 years ago. People have figured out your game, Greg.
Ball insulted the firefighters by placing a vehicle in their parade without permission, Ball slapped the firefighteres in Yorktown in the face and showed them no respect. Ball has upset the boys in Yorktown. Ball should have learned you do not mess with the fireman, he thought he could di what he wants and never asked for permission.
Go to a site that starts and ends like most and has
thetruthaboutgregball
in the middle
Thanks.
Can you explaine what website you are referring to? Like to look at it.
thetruthabougregball.com there is much more to come from what I hear. It is so cool to watch greg ball get the greg ball treatment.
fusco is the number one puppet of ball’s in carmel, keep you eyes on fusco and know what you are dealing with, he is a ball clone and takes his orders from ball. fusco is proving to be a lap dog for ball, fusco is not his own man.
Wow !!!! Checked out the website on the ‘truth’ info. Never realized that Ball was stationed in PA on his web page with the background on his time in AirForce. How interesting.
I am going to forward this web page to my many local friends who have LOTS OF QUESTIONS about the sincerity of our representative.
thanks for info.
