That money could have helped save the Republican majority. It’s Vinny Leibell who doesn’t give a rats about the party. I don’t consider him a Republican elected official anymore.

This is about right versus wrong. Good versus evil. Degnan, Leibell, and co., are evil people.

You made your bed, now lay in it, and count yourself lucky you’re not expelled from the party from the 75% of the electorate that supported Greg Ball and an end to your cronyism.

Just imagine heading over to the Elephant Hotel (our Uncle’s favorite) for real elephant! Try the Pachyderm Pot Pie. How about Turtles on the Halfshell ? Or Steamed
Primate (Gorillas in the Mist?) Methinks that Greggy needs to find a real cause, and soon.

Hudson Valley Republican proves its easy being Green

New York’s only legislative environmental scorecard, which grades lawmakers on how their votes affect the state’s natural resources, awarded a score of 88 to Assemblyman Greg Ball (R, C, I – Patterson) yesterday.

“I promised to work to ‘clean up’ in Albany,” Ball said. “But is it equally important that we continue to work to clean up our environment here in the most beautiful state in the nation, to present the gift of a better environment to the next generation of New Yorkers.”

The scorecard was issued by EPL/Environmental Advocates, one of America’s oldest environmental advocacy organizations. The rating he received demonstrates that Ball is among one of the most environmentally friendly Assembly Republicans serving in the chamber.

“During my first term in the Assembly, I have supported eco-friendly measures to protect and expand our wetlands and open spaces, improve our air quality, and encourage alternative fuels,” Ball said. “I am also grateful to EPL for their strong support of Net Metering reform. This important measure which passed the Assembly and was signed into law is now reducing both pollution and the stress on our utility transmission lines, while saving consumers money—which is so crucial during these difficult economic times.”

Locally, Assemblyman Ball had the highest ranking of any Assembly Minority Conference member. State Senator Vincent Leibell III received a score of 76. Scores were calculated by awarding between one to three points for votes supporting bills prioritized by Environmental Advocates of New York.

“When I return to Albany for my second term, I will continue to support and spearhead environmental laws that promote renewable and green energies, expanded conservation principles, farmland preservation and micro climate sustainability, and keeping the RGGI (Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative) on track. I look forward to continuing to work with local preservation and sporting organizations to keep the public involved in environmental conservation,” Ball concluded.

Greg Ball scored 15 points higher then Leibell.

Visit the EANY website, not “VoteSmart”. Or read the Journal News from October 2, 2008, by Jay Gallagher, “State Lawmakers get graded on environmental performance”

Ball received a 79 and Leibell received 83.

Visit Vote Smart for the chart.

Ball should be ashamed that he takes the taxpayer’s hard earned money in his salary and accomplishes nothing in return.

I am still in shock that this dishonorable loser got reelected.

Does he remember endorsing the hunting of exotic game in the last legislative session? He does. I do. Unfortunately too many people do not.

This guy has no clue. He’s never had a real job and he thinks that bullshit will get him through life.

It has gotten him this far but that was on dumb luck.

We’ll see what the future has in store for Mr. Ball

P.S. EANY gave Ball an F, not a B+ —nice lie.

Now I have a better challenge for you since you enjoy posting so much:

Name one concrete legislative accomplishment in your 2 years in office. Just one.

Concrete meaning if someone were to pick up the phone and actively investigate and seek the truth, your story would pass muster.

Think about that before your answer.

Senator Vincent Leibell III received a 71.

Translation: “Even though I have one of the worst environmental voting records of any member of the legislature and I have never publicly or privately supported conservation initiatives, I will call myself a conservationist and the press and sheeple will lap it up without question.”

Granted, this is not a nice practice but maybe this should be handled on the Federal level for the entire US.

Ball needs to work on our outragous school taxes with other legislators ASAP as this is a priority issue for New Yorkers.

Deflate the ego = deflate the Ball.

Spread the word.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
