It appears the pressure is really getting to Mark Evers and his turncoat Democratic Chair Jeff Spain. Yesterday during their morning training class in Remedial English, they decided to leave early and take to writing press releases for their newly formed North Greenbush Space Cadet Corp. Each issued a remarkable expose attacking County Legislator Kevin Harrington, not for demanding answers on behalf of constituents after Evers and Kern's claims of massive contamination on Main Avenue, but rather, the all important question of Harrington's residency. That's right, they are worried about his residency and not the contamination claims made by the Supervisor on Main Avenue.
You don't believe it right? Here is Evers press release in which he assigns new meaning to a Harrington statement from his press release Monday asking Evers and Kern to answer serious health and safety issues they raised alleging contamination on Main Avenue that could shutdown businesses and force the evacuation of homes. Here also is today's story about Ever's discovery in the Record which apparently felt Spain's shot was not worth the ink.
Instead, Evers issued this remarkable press release in which he took part of a sentence from the Harrington release and turned it into a bizarre account of being dishonest about where he lives. "As a long time town resident" was turned into proof Harrington was lying about his residence.

The full sentence read, "As a long time town resident, who is a cancer survivor, I am aware of no unreported contamination in this corridor, the clean up of which would require such a serious response by agencies as that suggested by these town officials." Last time we checked the lexicon, the words, "As a long time town resident..." do not imply a current state, but easily are assigned the meaning he intended which was that he has lived here a long time. Yes Mark and Jeff, he has lived here a very long time and we hope of course you will not hold against him the 4 years he left town to serve his country in the United States Navy. But we remember how Evers treats veterans having fired Navy Veteran and Annapolis graduate Ranson Caola as Town Engineer so he wouldn't get in the way of all those over payments Evers made to the Conservative contractor in Water 14. With Memorial Day coming it should be quite a site to see Evers showing respect for those who served their country.
Harrington recently moved to Poestenkill which is part of the legislative district which includes his home town of North Greenbush. Evers displaying his usual paranoia, describes Harrington's relocation as "having quietly moved to Poestenkill several months ago". Gee, perhaps Harrington should have hired a Marching Band to parade down Main Avenue through all the contamination Evers claims is present. We wonder if Harrington informed his mother and father whom he left behind to deal with the effects of all that "contamination" Evers claims is on Main Avenue?
Harrington goes on to note in that release, "As a cancer survivor, I want answers. If contamination exists in this area of the magnitude they suggest, requiring a shutdown of Main Avenue businesses and evacuation of homes, these officials must back up their claims. Surely, if their claims were true, the matter should have been rectified many years ago in the interests of protecting public health and safety as well as obvious environmental concerns which we all share." Instead of answering the questions about health and safety, Evers instead questions Harrington's residency. My my, the things they teach you in Space Cadet Class!

It gets better. Evers mentor, Democratic Chair Jeff Spain joins in with his own rocket science inspired release joining Evers demand for a Harrington explanation of residency and never once demands answers from the Republican endorsed candidate Spain sold out to as the Democratic Chairman by endorsing him. Evers of course criticized Harrington for not attending the meeting in which Evers made the specious claims of contamination, but that didn't stop Spain, who had an excused absence from the same meeting to attend coloring class, from criticising Harrington as well. If their purpose was to keep the contamination claims in the papers another day, they sure succeded. That's a page right out of the Jerimiah Wright school of politics! "Open wide"!

this pair (evers/spain)are beyond stupid....they are dangerous
If only we could do a vote of NO CONFIDENCE- clean out the rubbish and put someone in office who does not have a preconceived agenda, complete with puppet strings. Residency- that is a man grasping for straws. If that is the case- then why do we give a rat's a-- about what Bob Ashe thinks? Contamination is not a political football- answer the questions or leave office, Mr. Evers.
What a fiasco!
You are right, Jeff Spain wasn't at the meeting. Those of us who were, were shocked by Evers and Kern. At least Spain and Desso kept their comments to themselves.
With Jeff Spain coming out with his comments, I can only assume he is speaking for his brother. He would only come out with such silly statements with the blessing of Al.
The bottom line is why do these people want to turn down a grant which will benefit our Town?
