Government Positions in Village of Cobleskill to Bring New Residents to Area

Whoever said Schoharie County did not have the economic base to attract residents from outside the region, obviously hasn’t met Bob LaPietra. LaPietra is a part-time resident of Morris, NY and Punta Gorda, Florida. Yet due to a recent job offering he received from the voters of the Village of Cobleskill, LaPietra may soon become a full-time County and Village resident.

All too often, you hear about people packing up and leaving small towns like Cobleskill. It is a rare occasion indeed when you hear about people actually moving in to take jobs. But that is just what Bob LaPietra is doing. Although his dubious residency may have brought him a few legal headaches since allegedly filing false petitions to place his name on the ballot, he remains optimistic about all the possibilities that this new job will offer him.

While some in the Village have sought to prevent Mr. LaPietra from assuming office, due to the questions surrounding his legal residency, Village officials and Schoharie County officials should be looking at this as a potential growth opportunity. Many more jobs in the public sector could be created as a way to bring new people into the area and rejuvenate the local economic base.

In the spirit of the times, I have decided to put my name in the running for Cobleskill Mayor in 2009. That I am legally a resident of the Town of Richmondville shouldn’t really matter. Perhaps I’ll simply squat in the Newberry Square building or rent out a dog kennel at K-9 Cosmetician (Bob LaPietra owns the building) while obtaining the necessary signatures. If anyone has a problem, I’ll just tell ‘em to come on over and sniff my bed linens.

Hey !!!! I live in Richmondville too and I love Cobleskill's new policy for elections: DON"T LIVE HERE, LIE UNDER OATH, AND BE
GAL(ASS)O'S STOOGE and you too will be elected.
Now here's my plan you run for Mayor, I run for Trustee and we get two more Richmondville boys to run for trustees (we have to keep Marky baby) and we have the Village dissolve (the paperwork is started) and we take over Cobleskill. Marky baby will get his water (do I hear the sounds of of a big brick building for sale??) Did someone say Florida ?????

When you Richmondville boys take over Cobleskill will you let Mark winter in Florida with LaPietra?

Sean, you seem to have a crystal ball so I ask, why did Lancaster have an auction selling off a large amount of equipment, will the property be next, and where is the new town hall Mark promised Richmondville behind closed doors?

I remember when the Galasso's were well respected and cared about the people in this valley. It appears to me the this younger generation does not have that quality.

why did Lancaster have an auction selling off a large amount of equipment,

It was a business decision. Lancaster just won a 62 million dollar DOT project. Galasso's have over 100 million dollars worth of work in New York. I doubt he is going any where.You hillbilly mutts are just jealous. Thank God we have someone who will provide jobs for some of us.

You sell the shit wagon when it will cost you 25000 each vehicle that has a diesel engine. Inorder to adhere to part 248 DEC regs and BART specs every diesel engine(prior 2005) requires a retro fit. It makes perfect sense to lease the shit spreader when the old one costs more to own than a new leased vehicle. Stick to shit spreading it suits you.

Each and everyone of us not only have the right to vote but the right to run for office. No special degree's or schooling is necessary. Instead of squating there bangin posts out of you bung hole, why not run for office on the integrity soap box and institute some real change. Or are you just one disgruntled mug howling at the moon?

I work for c.s.p. and I can tell you that just because a Gallaso owns Lancaster doesnt mean any other Galaso is going to benefit from any work either one of them is going to get.They dont like each other and have been competing against the other for years.
You asshole blogs should know what you are talking about before you shoot your mouth off
