Campana pleads not guilty, Brown gets six months, DiFiglio and Renna plead guilty with no jail time
I'm not going to say too much about this since I'll be writting my column on it for Thursday but it's pretty big news so here is a link to what we have up online so far and I'll update it when I can.
Here's what I wrote about voter fraud. After more than two years, the scandal suddenly became very real for a number of people and I think Trey Smith sent a pretty solid message - work with him and take your licks and you'll be OK. Fight him or the investigation, and if you did something wrong odds are you're going to see some jail time.

Troy PBA backs Brown
October 7, 2009 at 11:03 am by Kenneth C. Crowe II
The Troy Police Beneolvent Association has endorsed Democratic Councilman John Brown for re-election. Brown is seeking a second two-year term on the Troy City Council as an at-large councilman.
Troy Police Officers Union Endorses John Brown for City Council At-large
Troy, New York (October 7, 2009)- Members of the Troy Police Officers Union (PBA) recently voted to endorse City Councilman At-large John Brown for re-election. At their September meeting PBA members comprised of patrol officers and sergeants overwhelmingly voted in support of Brown.
PBA President Bob Fitzgerald added, “The men and women of the Troy PBA work hard for the people of Troy and are looking for legislators who will work as hard as they do. John Brown has fought for Troy residents and public safety for the last two years. Our members said, “Let’s keep him there to continue the job.”
HaHaHaHa. Nice to see Rabbit and Ricky next to Mike LoPorto in the courtroom. What a pathetic bunch these Dems are. What about all the poor suckers who believed in them, voted for them, endorsed them. Suckers! Where is Kenny Z? Bill Dunne? How about the newly electeds? What do they think of this behavior? Everyone siad innocent until proven guilty, today they were in court begging for leniency and admitting guilt. The righteous will prevail.
Chappy, who is the bully you speak of? Who punched you? Who are you going to swing back at? Will Adina answer for you?
I think Jack Mahar should start worrying now

Clem you looked rather silly today with ur little teary eyes! Hopefully you get what u deserve you bully.
tom wade has been awful silent on the voter issue while it played out. i wonder if he has some guilt feelings after taking laposta out as city chairman. seems like without lapostas leadership things certainly went bad. reputations crushed, families ruined,jail time for some. the buck stops at the top.........right tom?
Whats all this shit about Jack
I wish you people would get a life!!! Sorry pathetic if this is all you have Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Someone told me about this blog so here I sit reading this garbage. This is why I don't read the Troy RAg. They should be going after drug dealers murderers ect. But voter fraud whoo!!! What a dog and pony show. Troy deserves it name Troilets!!!!
Why was Ickey Mason there? Free food? Warm room? Listening for Kevin? Or did Rabbit need a ride?
A bottle of Jack..
I didn't get proofed.

The store clerk goofed.
Now Jack got the call...
from the chief in a rush
My clerk dropped the ball...
Lets keep this hush hush.
Now Shane and Billy...
are in a terrible spot.
The order was silly
"arrest you do not".
Get out of that store..
like this never occured.
Just walk out the door...
Never whisper a word.
The chief is my friend...
I'm telling you now.
The law you must bend
I'll figure out how.
But now it's been weeks...
I thought it was done
It's foils he seeks
Wait...I thought I won!
Now I'll lose my job...
and go to jail...
This Chief is a lob
But I'll need him for bail.
Clem I bet you wish you had barb rezy's rent money now ???

Man this is some heavy shit & I thought us Coxes had Problems?
Holy Shit I am going to sleep like a baby tonight!
I don't think there are enough Rats in this Town lets just (STOP) all Rodent Protection Let them Breed!!!!!!
Troy NY should become a gated community.Put up the barbed wire fence and let the egomaniac politicians destroy each other rather than everything else.
To the individual who writes the poems, they stink. Start putting more effort into them or please think of other ways to express your opinion.
IF Rats were the Target in this town there would not be many buildings left standing?
Troy Population 60% hard working Citizens 40% Rats that's good for the Bottom Feeders.

dems still denying - wake up you should all be ashamed Eddie g they threw you under the bus maybe now you'll get redemption. just so sad that the voters were robbed and that city hall will now be tainted you can't tell me that Lou, pete etal had no idea. can't wait to see the trial
John Brown is a RAT and dont kid yourself. he was looking at spending 5 years in jail and will now do 60 days you dont get that deal because your daddy knows the former congressman you get it because you cooperated against members of your own party.
Brown, a Democratic councilman, also appeared before Pulver and decided to forgo indictment and plead guilty to a felony count of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument lodged against him by Special Prosecutor Trey Smith.
"I knowingly submitted a forged ballot before the election was final," Brown told Pulver when ask to explain what he did.
Who's a RAT?????
Brown, with his attorney Jennifer C. Zegarelli, pled to felony possession of a forged instrument —the absentee ballot for David Daniel — and may serve six months in the county jail, as per a recommendation by Smith. He was released on his own recognizance with a sentencing date yet to be determined. He could have spent up to five years in prison, Pulver said.
Smith said it was not until recently that Brown had “cooperated” with the investigation, which led to his recommended sentence

A Judas goat is a trained goat used at a slaughterhouse and in general animal herding. The Judas goat is trained to associate with sheep or cattle, leading them to a specific destination. In stockyards, a Judas goat will lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared. Judas goats are also used to lead other animals to specific pens and onto trucks. They have fallen out of use in recent times, and in fact are now illegal in the European Union(http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/welfare/slaughter/regulation_1099_2009_en.pdf) but can still be found in various smaller slaughterhouses in the rest of the world.
The term is a reference to the biblical character Judas Iscariot.[1]
Mirch Judas of Troy
This is so far past Mirch. There are no scape goats for these people. Time to man up
Campana said "he had to suffer through a two year investagation". As council President thay two year adds up to $40,000.00 of yours and my city tax dollars so he can hand it over to Steward Jones. There dropping like flys but he did nothing. Give us all a break and go away.

And despite all this disgraceful behavior on the part of the Dems, Carmella and crew still lost, even after they out spent the Dems 4 to 1. What does that say about the Republicans?
Not a lawyer, but I think this bodes poorly for Michael LoPorto.
Didnt Galuski pal around with Renna and Macinerney? the South Troy Against the world council man is in this up to his eyeballs. will Gary stay muzzeled while his buddies go down? and can someone tell me why does he work at the Elections Office?
Lifelong Dem, says more about the Democrats in Troy than anything else...
Troy dems would vote for Kim Jong un as long as he is a democrat they don't read the papers they don't watch the news they want their mandates. so what if there's corruption. so what if the very people they elect have no respect for them. Ryan dunne and cronies will be the further demise of this once great city. not enough evidence cause people are still covering up. see what happens when things go to trial. nothing cause these guys have no morals no sense of humility. what's the old adage - i'll lie and you swear to it. (that makes it true ya know)
"it was not until recently that Brown had “cooperated” with the investigation".....so he didn't cooperate before, suddenly said "oh shit I am looking at serious jail time" and then decided what.....to say what, and was it the truth or what Smith wanted to hear in order for him to only get 6 months after having faced 5 years?!
Was'nt Clem funny on the news, wow what a baby! Who was the little clone of Clem, I didn't know he had a son.
Who am I?
Three jobs...
Took voting sign-off book home to "read"...
Witnessed by all at North Central polling station
Getting away with it... priceless
Setting others up... real example of a crook...
Now live in FL, get bored, go home to Troy to start trouble
Who am I?
That was minny Clem. He only half a good guy.
Poor Clem, the special prosecutor obviously has not been listening when Clem said he did nothing wrong. Can't wait to see Neil's letter, I expect it next week some time.
Kevin McGrath was the greatest thing to come to the democrats in years. How do you like him now?
What's amazing even after the gang that couldn't shoot straight all took GUILTY pleas everyone thinking "nice guy " Clem is the one that did nothing. They all ratted him out.....
tony protecting lumpy?
Poor little John thought he was smarter than everyone thought he was better than everyone thought he was above the law now he is going to jail hahahahahahaha
You people are joking about this, but it really is not funny. This was one of the most corrupt conspiracy's I've ever seen locally in my 6 decades on this earth. Thank God I'm not involved with politics in Troy. It seems that these guys had what I call, Big Shot Syndrome. Only problem is they are all just a bunch of wanna be's, almost like Jr. Soprano's. Some of these hot shots can think about this in jail or home confinement. I laugh whenever I hear one of these big shots call the current mayor corrupt. How do they live with themselves? I guess when you keep telling the same lie over and over,you begin to believe it yourself. I have faith in the integrity of some of the new council members though. But with the specter of voter fraud still lingering, both Guluski, & Kevin McGrath should resign -- in light of the recent guilty plea's, from suspects who claimed they were innocent for the last two years. How can we trust either one of them to make an objective decision when passing an ordinance, resolution, or impacting local law. Guluski's involvement is still not totally clear, but the other guy is in this knuckle deep. I hope the new mayor gets an ethics board together to get rid of McGrath, and restore some trust in our public officials.
Where are all of Kevin McGrath friends?
Wait until E.S. Jones gets in front of the court with the crap that Smith indicted Campana on. Then we will see how smart Smith is. Smith is a friggin' moran and that will come out.
It's all the steroids...
Mirch has AIDS
Did you see Rabbit and Icky mason protecting Clem. Prescious!
When they wanted Clem under house arrest would taht have been at home or at Conway court with his dad ??
I wish you people would leave my name out of this crap.... anyone wants to see me I wish you would see me in person any time Barb Rezey

whoever posted the comment that for the sake of troy both mcgrath and galuski should resign is right on. they both knew what was going on and did nothing. we tax payers should not pay these two a dime. give lou a clean start or his whole administration will tainted.
But Mcgrath's brother is a supreme court judge.
Thank god for Brian Premo. Trey would have swept this thing under the rug if Premo had not called him out on it.
All of you on this blog should be ashamed of yourselves, didn't your parents teach you anything. If you don't have anything nice to say about people shut the fuck up You really have to get a life the world is bigger than Troy NY
How Bob Mirch would have survived in the old west.
Well back in the Wild & Wild West you had to be able to shoot straight Sober or drunk.
When the Cowboys got back from the round up they would come into town for a good knight out on the town and kick up a little dust.
Old Bad eyed Bob as he would have been know at the time would have peen passed out Drunk under a bar stool when the shooting started and would have lived to be at least 50 till his liver quit on him.
His tombstone would have read here lies Bad eyed Bob Tombstone Arizona Born-1830 Died-1881 A crusty old buzzard
8:50 there's a Kevin McgRAT supporter. Thing is they can't defend him any more so now it about people on the blog not that dealing mutt and all the people he screwed.

I really wish people would look in the mirror and see who they really are for someone to be happy about all of this they are really sick people.... blue or red... tis the season and you guys are worst than the Grinch.. we are all guilty of something at some point in our lives get a clue and a life people start telling nursery ryhmes to your children or grandchildren not making up stupid poems....Have a very Merry Christmas!
roses are red, violets are blue blog @721 is nothing but poo poo
lets clears something up for all you half wits...no one was ever arrested for rape..and no one stole money from any union..looks like the books came back fine..so please only post what you know about..
"Malicious prosecution" has been a term going through my head for months in relation to McD (Smith had a contentious past with McD's father and should never have been allowed to be S.P.) and Campana, now add LoPorto!! Charges were just dropped for something that never should have been charged from the beginning because there was no evidence! Feit trying to get Grand Jury minutes to see how this could possibly happened, and if it happened once, it can happen over and over again! And here is something for you, I heard from a reliable source that during the arraignments of the 3 and Campana, Trey Smith and the investigators were laughing and joking, as if this was fun for them (how incredibly unprofessional and insensitive they are!!), and joking about how E. Stuart Jones was going to send one of his attorneys (not come himself)- apparently they were surprised when E. Stuart Jones himself walked in. I relish the thought of Jones putting Smith in his place.
Keep up with Jones-es as in R Stuart Jones !!!
Lifelong Dem- What does that say about the Republicans in Troy? The better question is "what does it say about the electorate in Troy?
Also- Gary Galuski works at the Board of Elections, his "assistant" if you will Tony Renna is indicted.. but not Gary?
So Tony got signatures for the big dope and then submitted them to the big dope.. who in turn is entrusted with overseeing the election process.. Yet he knew nothing? Hillarious.. He must have done a lot of singing.. Gary the singing Bird Galuski.. have fun sleeping at night
And to those who post about Bob Mirch.. who cares? seriously? the guy is gone.. He's not making decisions for the betterment of the city like Galuski and McGrath..
I agree with earlier posts.. They need to do the right thing.. and just go!
You want us to forget MIRCH? We should build a monument to him, he uncovered what these criminals were doing. He is a civic minded guy that shined the light on this nefarious activity.
LONG LIVE MIRCH!
Oh please, Mirch is the biggest criminal out there. Sorry folks, but it's not alway guilt by association. There are a lot of lies and misinformation out there.
Hey Brown look on the bright side - three hots and a cot wont sound so bad after you lose your state job.
After the bully punch's you - sniffle sniffle, You've taken his best shot -- sniff sniff, and then you punch back -- sniffle sniffle, I will be vindicated!
Brought to you by Vandelay Industries
I agree with 6:58. Clem should have manned up 2 yrs ago, and all this would have been over with no crocodile tears having to be shed. Looks like the Teflon is getting damp
I see civil suits on the horizon.....the unprofessional attitudes are completely disgusting not to mention indicting someone with no evidence!! Woops, guess I better drop THOSE charges before they figure out I pulled a fast one! Do steroids cause egomania?
