So what's better than a replacement Republican candidate for Lou Desso? One with at least as much baggage to carry from Troy as the incumbent has amassed here.
County Republicans are planning to arrange former Troy mayor candidate Jim Gordon to run for Supervisor in North Greenbush. Gordon would be the hand picked candidate of Steve McLaughlin who disposed of Lou Desso's undeserved county job while kind of transferring the salary to his political ally Richard Crist in a new job title. Such is politics. Of course, Gordon has to move into town first and is in the process of moving into town. Maybe Lou could lend a helping hand in that endeavor.
The problem for Desso is the enormous challenge of several primaries as a write in candidate when the GOP hands the endorsements of the Independence and Conservative Parties off to Gordon, forcing Desso to try a write in to retain the lines, all of which were essential to his narrow 250 vote win last November. Desso would have to win these write in primaries, along with the Working Families line and a Republican Primary in order to win a general election. Each of these lines was critical to Desso's narrow win, meaning he can't afford to lose even one.
It's too bad the GOP can't find a more palatable candidate than Gordon whose infamous domestic incident memorialized on a 911 call contributed to his loss for Troy Mayor. Not to mention other work place issues that caused a furor in the county building until he was transferred away from the distraction in the office of then County Executive Jimino.
Oh well, at least he pays his bills which is more than we can say for Mr. Desso who is still refusing to pay his $6000 restaurant tab at Moscatiello's.
Desso's critics will be armed with pay your bill signs at Thursday's town board meeting. Should be fun!
