A violated billboard -UPDATED
-
- August
- 18
State Assemblyman Greg Ball, R-Patterson, wasn’t happy to find his face blacked out on a campaign billboard overlooking Rt. 22/6/202 in Brewster. He supplied this photo showing the vandalism, a move that seemed to require a ladder or at least a can of spray paint on a stick. The billboard sits on the right side of the road, if you’re headed toward Brewster village, just north of Brewster Honda. 
No word on if it was Harold and his Purple Crayon. Ball is blaming his opponent, Republican John Degnan. Messages have been left with Degnan. I’ll update once I have a response.
UPDATE: Here’s that response from Degnan: “I have nothing to do with it nor have I heard anyone commenting on it.”

Knowing Greg Ball and his style, it would not surprise me if he or one of his henchmen did this act for more publicity. Remember Greg Ball’s staged vandalism at his headquarters during his last campaign. I would not put anything by Greg Ball.
Does Ball really think his opponent would do this? this is something that Ball would do. Ball is known to stage attempts at himself to gain attention and sympathy from voters. It does sound like a typical Ball stunt.
Lastly, Ball has had campaign signs up all over the place well in advance of the legal date to put them out.
JUST MORE BALL LITTER
this guy is a douchebag and he is gonna lose, not because his opponents are anything great, but because he is just so ridiculous.
Takes a loser to spot a loser. One can only suppose that you have spotted a loser.
I believe it is another self inflicted act by the Ball team.
Or, four day labors stood on eachothers shoulders and did it!!
Ball playes the victim, again. I hope the Journal News does not waste paper on this. What a feeble attempt to draw attention. Hopefully, the 99th A.D. will lose this pathetic excuse for an assemblyman this election cycle. Skelos and RACC should be ashamed of the way they have supported Ball’s campaign. I will take an honest Democrat over a dishonest Republican any day of the week. At some point the electorate will wake up and throw Ball out of office.
Its so tiresome to read the same garbage over and over again from the Ball campaign- between his first run and this one. It is sad to me that this once promising individual (Greg Ball) has turned into such a disappointment. He does not understand the concept of ‘public servant’ and for that alone, he should lose. I believe that there is better in store for the 99th district and hope that the voters turn out to get rid of this negative influence on their communities.
The Journal News fell right into his trap. There’s his billboard for everybody to see now. We should get CSI in to see if it’s the same can of paint from his 2006 campaign and the infamous MS13 gang symbols in the village.
Wow. Must suck to be Greg Ball. Remember in 2006 when he accused Will Stephens of sending an anonymous letter trashing his military record? Fast forward to 2008 and John Degnan has done the same exact thing! Remember in 2006 when someone defaced Greg Ball’s campaign office? Fast forward to 2008 and now someone had defaced his billboard! Is someone out to get him? I think not. It’s too convenient and coincidental that these “terrible” things keep happening to him. Hey Greg, stop attacking yourself! It’s pathetic and people can see right through you.
Isn’t there a term for people that have a mentality to bring attention to themselves? Psycology 101 term? Maybe he was like this as a child as well and needs to become an adult soon.
Lets vote him out of office as his games are tiring and the papers need to focus on the positive candidates and not this negative $%#@.
Yes, there are terms: Politicians. Sad Sack Megalomaniacs. Bogarts Without Baggage. Self-aggrandizing prevaricators. Liars. All of them. Your candidate included.
the jerk from the 99th AD did it himself. check his fingernails
Wow. 100% anti-ball. The truth shall set us free.
At least it was not a MS-13 tag.
Reminds me of the swatika that he “found” in his office 2 years ago!!
Deflate the Ball!
ATLEAST THEY DID NOT DEFACE THE DOG ! THE DOG IS THE BEST PART OF THE SIGN…FORGET BALL. HE LOOKS BETTER COVERED UP.
