Below is Lou Desso's ad attacking CB Smith and accusing him of sending letters out anonymously.
Smith responded to Desso on Desso's Facebook page but the courageous politician deleted the posts. Don't worry we will post them here along with his accusations on Facebook.
First from Desso's Facebook:
Hi everyone,
I hope this e-mail finds you and your
families doing well.
Many of you know that I have worked hard to
make North Greenbush a better place to live. Some of you know
from personal experience that whenever anyone calls me to help
someone with addiction problems I move quickly to do what I
can to help the person in need. I never ask for anything and
appreciate your friendship and votes if you are inclined to
vote for me.
I am in need of some help as C.B. Smith has
sent anonymous letters all over Town with lies and distortions
that attack my character and the work I have done for all of
us here in No. Greenbush. These letters are signed
Friends of Defreestville, Friends of North Greenbush, or
the Real Friends of Mark Premo and the Highway
Department. (Of course he wouldn’t sign his name).
Throughout this campaign I have risen above
this kind of behavior even when C.B dragged my son and his
family into his demented way of thinking & campaigning.
Many of you know the challenges my son and his family have
been through recently with my grandson Nicky – it just is
not right.
I am trying to start an e-mail and Facebook
campaign to let the people of No. Greenbush know that the
letters are from C.B. Smith and to please consider the
irrational source from which they come.
Please help me send C.B. Smith the message
that this kind of behavior is not acceptable in our great Town
by forwarding this e-mail to your family & friends asking
them to support me on November 3rd and by inviting
them to my face book page “Elect Lou Desso”.
Now what Desso was afraid to have people read from Smith:
First Mr. Desso you are obviously paranoid
in the belief that I am behind all things, including this
letter, stating a few things about your record that you wish
no one knew about. You have done your best to make sure voters
remain unaware of your activities as evidenced by your
insistence that town board meetings not be televised on public
television as they were before you took control. I did not
write the letter(s) you refer to and didn't spend a dime
mailing them. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to share them here
so we can evaluate the untruths. What I have had the courage
to put my name on were a few letters to the Advertiser which I
fully stand behind. Perhaps you would like to tell your
audience what is inaccurate about you getting an $81,000
county job by having critical college degree requirements
conveniently removed by your political friends in the county
office building in Troy? There was a time when people who
sacrificed for college degrees, including a Masters Degree,
were rightfully recognized for their efforts and
qualifications in the hiring process. Perhaps you could tell
us why development interests with business before the town
have given you some $27,000 in contributions, an astounding
amount of money for someone holding a council seat and how
this does not sell town government to those interests? Maybe
you can tell us how you can run the town from a full time job
in the county office building provided to you under highly
questionable circumstances. Mr. Desso, you can attack me on
Facebook but you see I can answer you back. Feel free to
delete the posts if you lack the intestinal fortitude to keep
them up. But before you run around blaming me for every person
in town that opposes you and sends letters out that irritate
you, take some time to get the facts straight. Clearly truth
is not on your radar screen, confusion and blame are the only
tools you know how to use.
Smart politicians let operatives respond to critical letters from non opponents. This politician, well, spent a good chunk of those contributions from developers to help alleviate his panic attack. Sorry Lou, there's no DELETE option here. The First Amendment stands on this site and you'll just have to put up with seeing it on your screen.
