The caller id first said unknown than suddenly changed to Helen Liebell with a telephone number on it. Ball claimed that Liebell has sponsored Degnans campaign against Ball telling lies. Ball said the most recent attack from Liebell about the order of protection is an outright lie against Ball. Ball said TWO TIMES for people to call Liebell and repeated Liebells telephone number two times. How does one rig up a robo call to have caller id have someone's home phone and name? This IS TAMPERING WITH PHONE ID AND SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW. Is Ball liable for crossing an unlawful line here?????????? Ball is so used to attacking others with lies and now he is getting scarey.

Greg Ball is starting to lose it, I hope law enforcement keeps a close on him. I am concerned for our Senator, Ball sent out a strange robo call today asking people to call the Senator and gave out his private home number and Ball had it set up like the phone call was coming from the Senators home phone. I hope the press and law enforcement keep a close eye on Ball, he is losing it. Word on the street is Ball and his people are harrassing and stalking the Senator in his district.

Most persons would not get a restraining order unless they felt they were in genuine harm or harassment. Greg Ball was dumped by a girlfriend and he turned around and chose to stalk her. He followed her to her office, he followed her to her home, he showed up at her friends homes and even flew around the world, totally uninvited, to stalk her. How creepy. He told her had an STD, but wouldn't elaborate. He was out to ruin this girls' career and her life. Too bad for Greg, she's too strong for him. She slapped him with a restraining order and he disappeared. What a low life loser. I can't believe this man is allowed to hold elected office. Trustee Banks is correct.

Ball financed his first campaign using donations obtained by misleading people to think they were donating to help children. 2. I respect the right of people to debate the immigration issue, but it is quite another thing to stir up hatred against immigrants. 3. As a former prosecutor, I can tell you that the reason we have stalking statutes is precisely because of people like Ball who feel their behavior is "no big deal". It sure as hell is a big deal, and if Ball had done to my daughter what he did to this woman, he wouldn't be around to run for re-election. Every decent Republican in the 99th needs to take down the signs in their lawn, get on board with Degnan, and vote Ball off the ticket in September, and out of office in November.

We had the thought that he was a sincere, kind and gentle person. Wow, were many of my other neighbors shocked to hear about him stalking a woman. There is NOTHING worse than a man who thinks he is superior and tries to bully a woman. Even if Ball gains some votes on primary day, the important day is in November when the true voters come out to the polls. Ball will not win. Many of us are so disgusted with Ball.

Even rabid anti-immigrant types like "TakeBackAmerica" on the PoJo news blogs have no use for him. This knucklehead even has his campaign signs in Dutchess County towns outside his 99th District; they have even been seen in Connecticut! What kind of NYS Assemblyman doesn't even know that Connecticut is not in New York? I think that, we as taxpayers, ought to demand that he pay the U.S. Air Force Academy our money back. Come to think of it, he ought to reimburse the Pawling Central School District for the years he wasted on our dime!

He applied for an order of protection within TWO HOURS of being served. He was so outraged and petulent that he probably blew a gasket when that D.C. Cop appeared at this door in the wee hours of the morning to serve him with the Court Order. He ran to Court and got his own court order. I've read that this is typical behavior during DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Ball claims falsely, "Well, there's no allegations of violence". Really? The HECK there aren't!! Ball threatens to destroy her career, Ball follows her all over our nation's capital, he calls her at all hours of the day and night, all while she repeatedly asks him to stop, she goes on a work assignment to the middle east, and he follows her there as well, just to show her that he can get to her whereever she goes, that no place is safe, he tells her he has an STD. Basically, he scares the daylights out of her. And that's not violence? Mr. Banks,

I don't know much about this sort of thing, but this seems very serious indeed. One point: I have never before heard of the male named in the restraining order replying four days later with a court order restraining the woman who just filed the order to keep him away. Just never heard of it. Was the Air Force officer afraid of her? How big is this woman? Was she trained in hand-to-hand combat? It's really kind of hard to imagine why any woman would want to approach the male she is keeping at bay with a court order. Or am I missing something? Wouldn't be the first time.
