Desso and Desso Lite

Great taste! Less filling! North Greenbush Republicans may get to choose between two long time allies who are splitting apart in an effort to preserve their party's power in the town. Sources say Joe Bott, an ally of Lou Desso who has never once offered a word of criticism of his friend Lou Desso as Town Supervisor, will challenge him for the GOP nomination.

Reportedly Desso has ignored his old pal since he informed him of his decision to run for the GOP nomination for town supervisor. Town Democrats could not be more gratified with the dog fight as Bott is Desso's hand picked Deputy Supervisor who for the past four years enabled all of the shenanigans and unethical conduct which have put the town in countless headlines and a State Attorney General's Grand Jury investigation.

What a choice the GOP rank and file have this year between Desso and Desso Lite! And where will Kelly Hoffman fit into this equation? Will she choose taste great or less filling? Either way it will be a blood bath and a potential 3 way race with minor parties up for grabs. The math is instructive. Desso needed the votes from every minor line to win last time he ran. He will be hard pressed to win any of them as a write in candidate.
