Quill is the only mayoral candidate who's qualified

Thursday, September 13, 2007 9:58 AM EDT

A change in leadership is needed at Auburn's city hall.
The people of Auburn have had to put up with the nonsense of two candidates running for mayor, City Councilor David Dempsey, and the incumbent Mayor Tim Lattimore. Dempsey and Lattimore have proven themselves to be the problem with city government, and here are just some of the reasons why:

€ The “brawl at City Hall” made Auburn the laughing stock of upstate New York.

€ They agreed to a severance package ($3,000 worth of “hush money”) for the mayor's former secretary, and neither one of them ever explained their reasons to the taxpayers.

€ They both participated in the inappropriate use of Auburn Industrial Development Authority funds in the fall of 2006.

€ They both participated in illegal meetings with county government officials over development projects in the town of Aurelius, and this has cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost sales tax revenue.

A change in leadership in the mayor's office is the solution to the Dempsey-Lattimore problem. Mike Quill is a life-long resident of Auburn. He is a family oriented man that has made a career in public service. Mike has been a property owner and taxpayer in Auburn for over three decades. He and his wife, Joan, have raised their family here. There is no other candidate for mayor that can demonstrate such a level of dedication and service to the Auburn community. Mike Quill will bring integrity back to the mayor's office.

The Democratic enrolled voters in the city of Auburn can make change at city hall possible by voting for Mike Quill on Primary Day, Sept. 18.

" It's weird to see Jerry Morgan getting on Mason with his track record. His mention of his height, is something you quit doing early in grammar school. He just doesn't learn why people dislike him. "

" Dempsey NEVER stepped aside so Mason could run! Dempsey QUIT at the last minute after he had agreed to run & Mason stepped up so that the Democrats had a mayoral candidate! When asked if he would support his "fellow Democrat" if he lost the primary, DD said at the debate that he would carry the Independent Party Banner. "

" Oh, Chuck Chuck bo buck bananfana....you get the point, your comments are the height of stupidity.(height, ha ha) Quill is a quitter, and a loser. The secretery was let go because the mayor chose to let her go. She received nothing more than any other worker would have received when leaving a job under the same set of circumstances. The illegal meetings are in your mind. You need to go on meds, and quit listening to the sour grapes loser commitee (when have they actually won a race?). Go see mom and dad and have a cola on me. Other than that you're a nice guy. Keep on keeping on. Keep on writing, and I'll keep on making fun of you. "

" I would really like to know what Lattimore has done for Auburn in almost four years in office? Nobody in city hall gets along,crime is up,less police on the street, more fireman and a higher budget for the fire department, streets that look like war zone and if you fall in to some of the pot holes, you'll be lucky if they find you, more people moving out than in, and of course the job market, lets see 1500 hundred jobs in four years, well I think the Mayor is at a minus,how many major employers have left Auburn in the last four years? I think anybody is going to be an improvement to what we have right now. Oh, and Lattimore is just as bad as Dempsey in the brawl at city hall, a women can do strange things to a man. "

" I have to agree with you OMG Chuck Mason is a joke in the political circles, this is how he repays a fellow democrat who stepped aside so he could run for Mayor, he endorses the man who threw this city into financial ruin by initiating the 15 man minimum. He attacks the Mayor and Councilor Dempsey with innuendos and unfounded allegations. If Chuck Mason ever grew up beyond 4 ft and if his intelligence ever expanded beyond his big head, he would recognize the fact that Mike Quill is not the man to lead this city. But we shall see how the primary goes "

" All this said from one of the biggest losers in Auburn."The brawl" at city hall would not have taken place if Dempsey hadn't inapropriately carried on with the mayor's secretary & then needed hush money to keep her quiet.The mayor did not approve of paying her to go away.AIDA funds were used inappropriately in YOUR opinion - not in most other people's opinion.The mayor did not participate in "secret meetings" either.Quill had a lengthy career in public service-which he was very well paid for.When he felt some heat, he quit & your trying to convince the public that Mike Quill has honorable intentions is just sour grapes on your part & sour grapes is the only reason Quill is running for office.
