PLATTSBURGH – If anyone was wondering why Matt Doheny loves loopholes in the tax code, we have an answer: it’s because he got rich while his company used loopholes to avoid taxes in the Cayman Islands, an off shore tax haven. Read more »

By Donald McBrayer

At 9:30 this morning, while many of us were going about our business on this rainy autumn day, a gathering of our area top Republicans met at the Plattsburgh Common Council Chambers to witness the endorsement of former New York Governor George Pataki for Republican Candidate for Congress Matt Doheny.

Mr. Pataki expressed his support for Mr. Doheny saying the candidate was our best choice to reverse the Obama Health Plan, and spur growth for small business. Pataki also requested everyone visit the website www.RevereAmerica.org <http://www.RevereAmerica.org>  and sign the Petition to Repeal the Healthcare Reform Bill (found at: http://petition.revereamerica.org).

When asked about the possibility of running for President in 2012, Mr. Pataki indicated he hasn’t given it a lot of thought, but added, “Never say never!”

Also present was former 23rd District Congressional Candidate Doug Hoffman, Plattsburgh’s Mayor Don Kasprzak, and Chair of the County Legislature Jim Langley.

When asked about his own future political ambitions, Doug Hoffman stated this gathering was not about his future, but to get every Conservative and Republican behind Matt Doheny, and show united support for the Republican Candidate. He then concluded by stating that what is best for New York, and the nation as a whole is more important than his own political goals, and that is why he supports Matt Doheny for Congress.

Election Day is on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. As usual, Peru voters will be voting at the St. Augustine’s Parish Center, 3030 Main St. There are 4,232 registered voters in Peru. 359 votes were cast in the September 14^th primary elections. That’s only 8.5% of the registered voters, but in line with other Clinton County communities.

The final vote count in Peru for the Douglas Hoffman vs. Matt Doheny Congressional primary contest was 186 votes for Hoffman and 84 for Doheny. Peru voters followed the Clinton County trend favoring the more Conservative Hoffman and rejecting the candidate favored by party leaders. Some Hoffman supporters have stated that will vote for Owens. They despise Doheny and they want to teach party leaders a lesson.

Voters will be using the new electronic voting machines. While local election officials reported no major problems with the machines in the primaries the general election ballot may be confusing for some people. There are eleven candidates for governor meaning some candidates will appear on a second ballot line. Parties such as the Green Party, the Anti-Prohibition and the Rent Is Too Damned High Party have places on the ballot.
