LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS...MARK TWAIN ONCE SAID THAT THE MAJORITY IS ALWAYS WRONG. WELL, I WOULD AMEND TWAIN'S STATEMENT TO SIMPLY SAY THAT THE MAJORITY IS SOMETIMES WRONG.
A CASE IN POINT--THE RECENT MAYORAL ELECTION IN CORNING BETWEEN DEMOCRAT FRANK COCCHO AND REPUBLICAN RICH NEGRI. I PREDICTED BEFORE LAST WEEK'S ELECTION THAT NEGRI WOULD LIKELY WIN THE ELECTION...BUT THAT FRANK COCCHO WAS THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB. WELL...IN MY VIEW...THE MAJORITY THAT ELECTED NEGRI TO OFFICE GOT IT WRONG.
MAYOR-ELECT NEGRI IS A NICE ENOUGH GUY BUT HE LACKS THE POLITICAL EXPERIENCE AND KNOW-HOW OF FRANK COCCHO--A MAN WHO SERVED AS A COUNCILMAN FOR NINETEEN YEARS AND AS MAYOR FOR TWO. THE BOTTOM LINE: MAYOR-ELECT NEGRI WILL BE DOING A LOT OF ON THE JOB TRAINING AFTER HE TAKES THE OATH OF OFFICE IN JANUARY.
WITH COMMENTARY...I'M YOUR PH.D. OF POLITICS AND HOST OF “COLEMAN AND COMPANY...DR. STEPHEN HURRICANE COLEMAN THE THIRD...THAT'S MY OPINION...WHAT'S YOURS?
