RUMOR HAS IT THAT SCOFFLAW GOLDEN --- AKA STATE SENATOR MARTIN GOLDEN --- WAS CAUGHT RIDING THE WRONG WAY IN A BIKE LANE --- THEN, THAT GOLDEN TRIED TO USE HIS "NON-POLICE PLACARD" TO GORILLA THE WRONG GUY
SOON AFTER THE INITIAL BAD-DRIVING INCIDENT, HIS DRIVER --- AND BOY, IT SURE DOES LOOK LIKE IT MIGHT BE MARKO KEPI BEHIND THE WHEEL OF WHAT SURE LOOKS LIKE SSMG'S CADILLAC SUV --- VIOLATED MORE TRAFFIC LAWS TRYING TO ESCAPE THE SCENE AND/OR AVOID HAVING THE STATE SENATOR PHOTOGRAPHED BY THE POTENTIAL MARTY-GOLDEN-VICTIM-TURNED-MARTY-GOLDEN-PURSUER-AND-PHOTOGRAPHIC-HISTORIAN
I'm sure this one will have legs, and it will be the 2017 Christmas gift to Marty Golden that keeps on giving all through 2018.....

The beginning of the end for Marty G. He was on his way out next year anyway, now this makes it more likely-- when he goes KAssar goes.
WHen that happens the Reform party endorsed Gournados is in and Capano replaces kassar as the major third party leader in Brooklyn!!
…then Capano wakes up, in a cold sweat and in a pool of his own drool.
The stars are aligning for Chairman Capano
8:50 AM, do you mean to tell us that this is all a Bob Capano dream?
But, but, but - I read the @bdhowald Tweets and they seemed real enough. Especially the pictures of Marty trying to block the shot and of little Marko behind the wheel. At least Marty is consistent, he picked a driver who is as bad behind the wheel as Marty is himself.
Marty always seemed like a flash a badge kind of guy, when he or his family got into trouble in the past. Now, he waves his parking placard like it's some kind of warrant when his car is being driven illegally by one of his staffers.
I hear in the first 2 weeks of January there will be 2 major Capano announcements that will cement his public visibility in Bay Ridge and Brooklyn for years to come, that will very much upset his detractors here.
I can't wait!!
the 2 capano announcements are
1- after counting the paper ballots he has reached 1.1%
2- in case of a marsh mellow shortage people should stock up
cHAIRMAN- THEY WILL BE EVEN MORE ENVIOUS!
Chairman
I can't count how many times they have counted you out, but you keep coming back!!
1%
Chairman-
You must be doing something right that they keep on coming at ou continuosly!!
No the driver is John Seravalli, one of Golden’s “new hires.” Heard he sucked up to almost everyone on Malliotakis campaign to get the job...... looks as if he ain’t adjusting well! Golden- hire someone who can drive!!!!
Hey 9:24 AM, a) Marty is a bum, and b) Capano is a bum.
These ain't mutually exclusive.
Hey 11;00 a) Marty is a winner b) Capano is a loser
These are mutually exclusive
"Chairman" Bobs goal is to make other people lose. How long can he claim credit for Quagliones loss?
1% is all it takes
Boy..times are a changin. There was a time when Democrats would be silent on anything negative about Golden- now, they are all lighting up twitter & sending out statements... Marty is toast next year
Chairman Bob will be helping to make one state senator lose next year!!
RESPONSE: THE "AND THE WINNER IS..." EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:00 AM" & "... AT 11:21 AM"
AND THE WINNER IS >>> "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:00 AM"
The statements by the commenter at 11:21 AM are neither logical nor a good use of the English language.
On the other hand, the commenter at 11:00 AM demonstrated logic, wit and a passable use of the mother tongue here in the United States of America.
FLASH UPDATE: THE "OMG" EDITION
I JUST GOT AN E-MAIL BLURB FROM OUR NEWEST PARTY CHAIRMAN IN BROOKLYN THAT SAID: "STATE SENATOR MARTY GOLDEN, FLASHING...."
GEE WHIZ, THIS KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE FOR MARTY !!!!!
What more can one say, but I'm speechless.
See 839 am comment..doesnt seem so far fetched after all
Did you guys see the NY Post article yet??????
Very damning.......
Marty will win again, and capano, Eaton, and McCall will stay on the sidelines..
Who will be the first to call on Marty to resign? You can be above the law..
Where is Marty's chief spokesman John Quaglione on this latest scandal? I'm sure his press strategy will get Marty out of this mess in no time
The Post, the News, NY1, Twitter, Facebook ... coverage of this story has really accelerated, as John Quaglione would say.
BACKFILL: THE “NEW YORK POST” EDITION
LA COUVERTURE DE LA POSTE DE L’AFFAIR D’OR ET LE CYCLISTE EST TRES GENANT POUR LE SENATOR D’ETAT D’OR
MY POINT IS THIS: IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW YOU SAY IT, THE POST COVERAGE OF THE GOLDEN-CYCLIST DUST-UP IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR STATE SENATOR GOLDEN --- AND IT’S LIKELY TO GET BIGGER BEFORE IT GETS SMALLER
GET A LOAD OF THE "DEVASTATING" DRIVING HISTORY COMPILED BY THE POST OF THE STATE SENATOR FROM BAY RIDGE
AND WHAT DO WE GET FROM THAT STATE SENATOR FROM BAY RIDGE ??? --- ONCE AGAIN, "SILENCE IS GOLDEN" (CUE THE FOUR SEASONS)
According to the account that appeared in the NY Post, “Brooklyn [S]tate Sen. Marty Golden tried to pull over a bicyclist by impersonating a cop — and then his wheelman ran a red light and drove into oncoming traffic to get away when the cyclist snapped the pol’s picture, according to the cyclist….” (See “Politician impersonated cop to get past me in bike lane: cyclist” by Max Jaeger & Kirstan Conley, 12/12/17, NY Post/ Metro [https://nypost.com/2017/12/12/politician-impersonated-cop-to-get-past-me-in-bike-lane-cyclist/]).
A DRIVING HISTORY THAT EVEN SENATOR GOLDEN DESCRIBED AS “DEVASTATING”
Perhaps even more damning than the most recent news item about the confrontation with the cyclist was the following HISTORY according to the NY Post’s researchers: “…. The vehicle’s license plate number, which the Post is not publishing, is associated with more than 30 traffic violations over the last four years — including for running red lights, not feeding parking meters, standing in bus stops and for speeding in school zones, according to city records…. ..Seven of Golden’s 10 school-zone speeding violations happened near schools in his Senate district, records show…. ‘Anybody who drives like that should not have a driver’s license,’ [the cyclist] said…. Golden has strongly opposed efforts in the state legislature to expand the number of speed cameras used on city streets…. Golden also ran over a 74-year-old woman in September 2005, an incident he called ‘devastating’ and for which he was not charged because investigators determined the woman was crossing against the light. She died five months later….”
AND GET THIS --- NEITHER GOLDEN NOR HIS STAFF RESPONDED TO THE NY POST’S INQUIRIES
The article by Max Jaeger and Kirstan Conley took pains to note that --- “…. Golden did not respond to repeated calls and an email seeking comment….”
GOLDEN and Kassar are finally going down
Here is a chance for Quaglione to show an ounce of independence and backbone and condemn Marty for breaking all these laws...only then will q be seen as his own man and gain some respect
Serious question, will Marty be arrested for impersonating a police officer??
RESPONSE: THE "NOW THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:38 AM"
IF WHAT HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE DAILY NEWS & NY POST IS TRUE; IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT SEVERAL >>> CRIMES <<< WERE COMMITTED, AS WELL AS SEVERAL VIOLATIONS
A FULL INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE STARTED ASAP; AND IF ANY PROBABLE CAUSE IS FOUND, THE CASE NEEDS TO BE GIVEN TO A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR
According to the DN, Steve Gounardes has called for a NYS Ethics probe; even though that does need to get done --- these facts cry out for a full-scale criminal investigation.
It is about time that the old piece of shit gets tagged for his misdeeds. He has walked around for years like he owns NYC and treat everyone like shit. Good for him. Hope he is forced to resign, the old drunken bastard.
Better yet, prison...
Keep dreaming Capano and Eaton..
Marty Golden is still in charge and Craig Eaton is still MIA
MODERATOR'S NOTE: THE "ANTI-HIJACKING" EDITION
TWO OF THE COMMENTS ABOVE [SINCE REMOVED] APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN PART OF AN ATTEMPT BY SOMEBODY TO USE THIS BLOG TO FURTHER AN ANTI-MARTY GOLDEN PETITION. IT IS NO DOUBT FOSTERED BY A "PROGRESSIVE PARTNER ORGANIZATION" USING MOVEON.ORG PETITIONS AS THEIR PRINCIPAL VEHICLE
I HAVE REMOVED BOTH OF THOSE COMMENTS
If you are telling us what was removed than why bother to remove it?
Steve Bannon & Capano are working together.
Get ready !!
It's for real..heard it today..Capano will be Reform Party candidate for Governor...
RESPONSE: THE "DUH !!!" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 2:46 PM"
WELL, MY NOT VERY DISCERNING QUESTIONER, RIDDLE ME THIS: WHAT EXACTLY DID THE PETITION SAY ABOUT MARTY GOLDEN ??? WHO WOULD THE PETITION BE SENT TO ??? WHO WAS ORGANIZING THE PETITION EFFORT ??? WHO HAD ALREADY SIGNED THE PETITION ???
..... AND MAYBE FOUR OR FIVE OTHER KEY BITS OF INFO THAT I HAVE AND YOU DON'T
Liam should put his big boy pants on and call for Marty Golden to resign
Maybe this is obvious, but wasn't Senator Golden's vote against funding more speed activated cameras a conflict of interest based on his own driving record.
By the way even some of Marty Golden's friends will tell you that he drives like a cowboy, and almost as important lots of people know that often he NEEDS to have a driver operate his car or he'd risk even more problems. So what happens if no driver is available?
Marty is going down.
What about the old lady Marty killed?
The article in the NY Post stated Golden ran over a woman who died in 2005. Post said no charged were brought by DA. That was DA Hynes. Things are different now.
John Q finally got his boss into all the newspapers
Good job, John Q !

the new york times published a detailed account. marty picked on the wrong guy.
Bob is really going to have a tough time getting Martys signatures next year.
Marty is an old drunk.....plain and simple.
A few very interesting points:
a) Q actually came out of the hole and said to the NY Times "it is the Senator's personal car"...doesnt the State pay for this vehicle? doesnt he use it for business use and possibly personal use? Someone should look into this fact and make sure it is all up to snuff;
b)He did hit an elderly woman years ago, and she subsequently passed away after many days in a hospital. I heard that there was a lawsuit filed by the ladies family and it resulted in a hefty payment to the estate, but interestingly enough, the case is nowhere to be found. I checked on the Court's website "ecourts" I think it was and there is no record. Maybe he used his influence, wink. wink. nod.nod. and had them delete any and all records of the accident and the settlement since it probably claimed he was negligent and caused her death. Someone should look into this fact and see what they can find....maybe the News, Post, Times, DA, US Attorney???
The visual of Marty being chased by some kid on a bike with a cell phone is rich!!
Charlie Rose and now Tavis Smiley is gone. Who'd have thought so much hankey pankey was going on at PBS.
The statute of limitations is 5 years on manslaughter in New York. So nothing to be done about the 2005 crime. The current stuff and tickets will be an issue for the voters to decide.
9:48 sounds like the cop telling everyone "just move along, no crime here". Really??
Sometimes Marty got 3 speeding tickets a day. He is a menace.
In 2017 John Quaglione & Roy Moore won their primaries and lost close elections in what some people called Republican strongholds. In 2018 will Marty Golden do the same thing?
I hear Liam McCabe is laying the groundwork to replace Marty.
Godspeed NYS Reform Party Chairman Curtis Sliwa on your major surgery. Get well soon, you and Chairman Capano will continue making waves in Brooklyn, NYC and NYS.
Who will be the first local Republican with the courage to call on Marty to resign or for the DA to file charges
Get f----d, Marty Golden isn't resigning because of some whining downtown leftist on a bike.
If he told his driver to run the guy over instead of run away this problem would just be another unsolved crime in Duhblaz New York.
Marty's gotta go
You gotta go, but you probably don't know how
Just squat and push down hard, and don't forget to pull down your pants and draws
And now the New York Times is covering Marty in the passenger seat.
To the Gale Wynn Masey headline writers.
Please note Marty was caught on Camera(s) not a camera. Many cameras all over the city & the man on the bike.
Bike riding to a community board meeting. Living the life !!
I hear Brannan & Capano calling for Marty to resign later
I hear Brannen & Capano calling for a double order of the meatloaf special at the bridgeview
all jokes aside theres a long history of Marty abusing his power
You had the original "lost gun" cover up or the Lauren Sergio baby cover-up.....
with all the signs pointing back to Marty and Joe Hynes
2017 its a new day and people riding their bikes to community board meetings can be your downfall
Tick-tock, tick-tock the clock is ticking on Marty's glass house empire
to 11:08 you are close. it was chicken alfredo and sprite
I hear Quaglione is on his way to the Bridgeview to pick up Marty's lunch

YOU DO MAKE A POINT --- AND I GET THAT POINT --- BUT, MY HEADLINE REFERRED >>> ONLY <<< TO THE CAMERA SHOTS BY THE CYCLIST THE OTHER NIGHT
I think I know who you might be..... So, why not make the other points that you made to me over the phone ?????
Marty Golden is not just a retired cop, he is a cop who's been out on three-quarters "DISABILITY" for maybe more than four-times as long as he ever was a cop (BTW, the VilVoi article misreported that Marty was a "DETECTIVE" --- I've known a few detectives, some of those detectives were good friends of mine --- and Marty Golden sure ain't never been no detective.)
FAKE NEWS by the first 11:15 AM up above. John Quaglione is picking up Marty's lunch at the New Royal not at the Bridgeview.
EXCUSE ME - EXCUSE ME !!
Is this blog Bay Ridge Republicans or Park Slop you know whats on stupid bikes waiting for the recycle truck? Senator Golden had it right about Mrs Kravitz the cell phone picture taker. Get a life he said. Others should consider the same.
Chairman Bob that is directed at you. Dont stop now Bob. The tipping point on Golden has arrived.

From the Ghost of Christmas Future: Let's dedicate this very early 2018 Christmas Song to the very recently defeated and soon to be former State Senator Marty Golden (you know like he is a FORMER police officer, although he still likes to pretend he still is one while he is on the road), the very beautiful Elvis Presley hit, you know the one that goes "It'll be a Blue Christmas Without You... a blue, blue Christmas"

We are Republicans and we are men. We eat red meat and dont give a shit about no stupid bike lanes. I believe Senator Golden, a decorated police officer. What do we know about the person on the bike?
Chairman Capano, when do you make your statement on this matter??
Capano who???
Eaton who????
Word is Marty told Curtis Sliwa he will not take Ind party if Curtis gives Marty reform line. Will chairman fatboy go along with that? Does he have a choice?

God Bless you Bob and Curtis.
You are true leaders.

Chairman
See 529pm comment..they keep coming after you , you must be scaring them..keep it up!!
So Bob has committed the reform party line to a democrat. I guess everyone was right about him.
7;48 has it right. Preacher Bob ran as the only real republican. Not exactly a man for all seasons.
So what is on the bikers video? Did Golden say he's a cop? That's a serious crime.
RESPONSE & QUERY: THE "WHAT'S 7:48 PM RIGHT ABOUT ???" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:48 PM" & "... AT 10:01 PM"
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU SAYING THAT BOB CAPANO IS UP TO --- RIGHT NOW ?????
7:48's comment says that "... Bob has committed the reform party line to a democrat...."
I didn't know that..... Who is that "democrat" [sic] ????? And when exactly was that done ?????
I agree with you that Bob Capano is not a "man for all seasons" (I hope you aren't channeling Robert Bolt [I'm afraid he might have been a cuckold]); but, I do think that Bob Capano might be the man of the hour, and THE "man for all [r]easons".....
BTW, I think the term "a man for all seasons" came form Erasmus..... And I think that Peter Ackroyd suggested that one of the reasons Saint Thomas More was close to King Henry VIII was that More was a bit of a raconteur of dirty jokes.....
RESPONSE: THE "BIGGER PICTURE" EDITION
TO: "THE FIRST 'ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:56 AM' " [AFTER ALL, WHENEVER I RESPOND TO MY OWN COMMENTS, WHICH I RARELY DO, I DO IT AS "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT..."]
YOU'RE WRONG TO ONLY FOCUS ON THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT.....
The stories indicate that Marty's car has racked up a formidable history of speeding-type violations in a variety of circumstances..... That's the biggest take-away from the reports of the cyclist-Golden story.....
I'm pretty sure that Marty Golden drove just as fast many years ago, and I would bet a pretty large bit of cash on the fact that very few police officers, or other traffic enforcement types, ever wrote a ticket, .
Good point Gale at 1256..I have it on good authority that Capano has been a part of meeting with candidates for local and statewide office throughout the NYS and people are calling him.
I never thought Capano would come out of this election with more clout compared to Q and McCabe but it seems like the case..just look at Capano' s detractors on this blog..they are going after him for a reason, guess they are seeing the same activity by him I just mentioned..
Looks like I'm 100
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "MORE OLD BAD NEWS FOR MARTY IN THE DAILY NEWS TODAY" EDITION
THAT LONG AGO PEDESTRIAN KNOCK DOWN WHERE THE OLD LADY DIED --- IT LOOKS LIKE IT COST MARTY THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS ($750,000) TO SETTLE --- THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY TO SETTLE THE >>> WRONGFUL DEATH <<< CLAIM OF AN OLD PERSON WITH NO LOST EARNINGS --- THERE SURELY MUST HAVE BEEN SOME EXACERBATING CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVING THE STATE SENATOR
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS BAD WEEK FOR MARTY GOLDEN IS ALREADY GOING TO SPILL INTO NEXT WEEK --- GOLDEN AND HIS TEAM'S "NO COMMENT" APPROACH AIN'T WORKIN'
Marty need s to come up with a lot of answers to a lot of questions very fast.
Not only does this story have legs >>> it's marching forward in Ten League Boots <<<
Bye bye Golden and Kassar
So let me get this straight. An old lady was hit by Golden and died. She had no lost earnings and Marty did nothing wrong. ok. But then her family is paid $750,000.
Yeah that happens a lot.
Who paid the $750,000 ?
I dont see an insurance company paying out that kind of money to help a politician. Marty was a city councilman at the time. Did NYC pay?
Capano is going to start having some problems now that his crack legal advisor's had the book thrown at him
https://nypost.com/2017/12/15/controversial-lawyer-arrested-for-kidnapping-extortion
If she was an elderly woman and had no lost earnings and did not support anyone, her case would not be worth that kind of settlement money unless they had a serious liability claim against Golden which they must have.
That being said, someone needs to dig deeper.
Someone needs to dig deeper !! Dig for what?
Facts are Marty drives like a maniac getting 50 or 60 speeding tickets a month and runs over an old lady. Ted Kennedy never got speeding tickets.
God Bless u Ted Kennedy
God Bless u
So bobs lawyer is facing life in prison. Well Al there goes the 1%
Here's a very important question about Marty Golden that actually needs somebody to push for answers.
Did he get speeding and other moving violations the whole time he was a City Councilman and then a State Senator, or did it start only after the automatic cameras started clicking away?
If it's the latter, then it's strong circumstantial evidence that Marty Golden was a CORRUPT SERIAL ABUSER of his official positions.
Can we get a straight answer about Bob? If hes not getting reform line for marty than is he getting it for the democrat? No need for BS about who the democrat is because if you are against marty thats irrelevant.
This is a GOP blog? Lots of questions but no answers.
hey 12:46 here is the answer.
GO F*** YOURSELF.

Take a close look at the Luthman charges. All Luthman did was create the companies for his clients. A routine practice. All the other crazy gun stuff had nothing to do with Luthman. This is a witch hunt.
Bob seems to know a lot of people in staten island.
Do Bob and Luthman attend the same pilates class?
Way to go Bob. Luthmann could not make bail. Reform party is looking good !!
1246 pm..as always CHAIRMAN Capano will do what's best for Brooklyn..
You are correct to acknowledge his key role in this state Senate race
I hear the big story on The Senator is dropping soon.
Hello chairman and state senator Capano!!!
We love u chairman
God Bless u senator capano
God Bless u
I hear Krazy Joe Kovac is mentioned in the indictment so that means Grimm is involved somehow and probably Liam and Kassar
I hear Bob is making a move to become statewide executive director of reform party.
We luv you bob.
Go Chairman Bob Go !!
You can do it
Keep fighting for us, chairman. keep strong. You always do the right thing.
We stand with you bob because you have stood with us. Fight for Brooklyn. Fight for America.
Luthmann has been framed.
Plot twist: Richard Luthmann was just John D'Emic in a rubber mask!
Senator Golden technically saved the life of the old lady he hit with his truck because in the Emergency Room doctor's discovered she had bladder cancer.
God Bless Marty Golden and may God bless these United States of America. This is your humble narrator John Quaglione speaking.
Thank you John Quaglione.
