| Let's not read to much into things, John Hanlon lost last night, he, his family, and his supporters are still entitled to vote in November right ? If they want to support Carlo that is because they choose Carlo,and think Carlo is the better choice. Not because Carlo's thinking is the same as Hanlon's, Carlo is running because he disagrees with so much that is happening in this city and wants to make changes. If Carlo and John agreed Carlo would never be running now right ? |

| Joe knows that Mayor Hanlon endorsed Carlo last night so I doubt that would be the reason he would want to speak to the Mayor. |

There was no hurt against Ragucci. Everything is documented as fact. There were many untruths told and only from ONE camp. McGonagle. There was not 75 positions that he added on. That is a totally fallacy cooked up. He hired fire, police. Some retired some replaced some did get added positions. He hired ONE attorney for the sludge plant. McGonagle even trashed Carlo DeMaria without any facts to back up his claim. As for the budget I will agree to disagree. There was no choice for the budget. Could things have been handled differently…… I think so but it’s difficult when you are there listening to the snide comments that are not on TV and the disrespect from the common council. Anyone would have been angry at that point. It’s over now and good luck Carlo DeMaria. You have many people backing you 100%. THANK YOU Carlo for not stooping to the levels of the lowest. YOU are a man of integrity!

| Okay Taylor, hanlon is out of the picture so you can stop singing his praises. It's done, let's move forward and leave him and his cronies behind us. |

I have every right to respond to a post. It’s okay for your clan to spread fallacies but no one is allowed to respond? The disgrace of the former administration is going to haunt this city for many years to come. Carlo is not going to walk into a disaster like Mr. Hanlon did because Mr. Hanlon is not that type of person. All the cronies backing McGonagle are. They are all Ragucci. Especially that BIG MOUTH Carol Ragucci that was flying around all the polls yesterday yelling “ WERE DOING AWESOME” The primary is over but not the election. Good luck Carlo. Thank goodness for a new beginning.

Yes, Taylor, you do have every right to respond, but your bitterness toward everything Ragucci and now everything McGonagle is tiresome. Go support Carlo, if that is your wish, and leave others to their right to support McGonagle.
Clan? Was that meant to be an ethnic slur of some kind?

Okay, Relax people. I think that the only reason Hanlon has requested that his supporters support Carlo is because McGonagle in Hanlon's eyes is Ragucci is disguise.

| Remember, I did not vote for Ragucci, I am a former Hanlon supporter. With that being said again, I think after the last two years I would rather be associated with the Ragucci administration than the Hanlon administration. Lynda, Joe like Carlo is his own person. I would really like to see the campaign get down to issues. I don't want to hear Ragucci's or Hanlon's name mentioned again. They are both in the past. Let's move on and maybe there can be a light at the end of the tunnel for our city. |

| massdee I don't believe McGonagle and Ragucci to be one in the same I said Halon did. I was a Ragucci voter and supporter. |

| Just to make it clear, Mr. Hanlon endorsed Carlo because he ran a clean and fair campaign. Carlo came in second fairly, not bashing anyone. There was not one negative ad from Carlo or John. Joe McGonagle used the Advocate Fish Rap for his own personal agenda along with Stat Smith behind the scenes. There were plenty of lies and innuendoes that Mitchell happily printed. He should be shut down. Then in the Independent, McGonagle smeared Carlo without any facts. He did that for his own advantage and Carlo was man enough not to stoop to those filthy levels. It had NOTHING to do with Ragucci. |

| I must have been in la-la land the past few weeks. I, personally, did not see any negative campaigning from Joe. I thought his ads were honest and forthright. He cannot control what the Advocate prints in their editorials. When Joe threw his hat in the ring, Ragucci supporters had no place else to go but to back Joe. Anyone who felt the pinch of the budget for the past two years would vote for someone other than the incumbent. It stands to reason that the Hanlon people would now give their support to Carlo. He is a fine young man and now Hanlon's supporters have no place else to go except to Carlo. So, what is the difference? I agree with Massdee. It is time to move on. |

| Everything Mitchell writes comes from Joe or Stat. He lives in Joe's house that Joe does not even live in! Why dont you get a copy of last weeks Independent too. The split article from Joe. His version of lower Broadway and then Carlo’s at the bottom with the dump truck? McGonagle printing that crap without any facts. That’s what he did the whole campaign. Dirty, dirty politics. That’s OK. Go vote him in. The city will be in crisis and our Mayor will a bar somewhere. He's a fly by night. Give me a break! |

Does anyone recognize this quote?
"DeMaria is not smart enough and will do favors for friends and family without question not to mention William Thibeault."
What a difference a couple of days make! No....give us a break! |

Lets get down to basics.. we need a mayor who can speak in public, have his or her facts straight before speaking, have an ability to attract businesses and new home owners to the city.. and last but not least.. be able to articulate a vision for the future.
Maybe I am crazy.. but Carlo may be a good guy and all, but he surely is not articulate, aware of his facts when he speaks and is not mayoral quality. I dont believe it says any where in any mayoral job description you have to be a nice guy.. you have to have the abilty to get the job done. If you are a nice guy thats great... hopefully you are.. but that is not a reason to vote for a mayor. Take the emotion out of it folks and get factual. We may end up in another dead end administration if the Nice Guy mentality decides who wins.
Lets see who articulates and represents the needs of the city best. That person should be the mayor. The city is in trouble. We can not play games this time around.
