Marty Golden is one; and now, you can add to that infinitesimal group of Republicans --- the one and only John Quaglione. Under JQ's Twitter handle [John Quaglione @JQuaglione] appeared this: "Mayoral hopeful Sal Albanese calls de Blasio 'limousine liberal'...." I won't get into whether this homage to "Sal" is appropriate or not. However, what possible motivation or benefit to Q's campaign in the GOP Primary can come from quoting the one Democrat, above all others, who made the GOP the "also ran party" of Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. <br /><br /><br />The second was a very problematic re-post of one of Liam McCabe's Facebook entries. The reason I say problematic, is that, at first blush, I could see little if any justification for JQ to let this item by one of his current opponents appear anywhere on his pages, or even near them. You see this item was Liam's strongest attack on John Quaglione to date --- and it pretty much said if JQ couldn't stand up to his boss, Marty Golden, when Golden is clearly wrong; how can anybody expect Quaglione to stand up for what is right in the City Council.<br /><br />As I thought about it further, it's possible that JQ is crafty and cynical enough that he could easily characterize Liam's posted remarks as a joint attack on Republican State Senator Martin Golden as well as on the City Council Candiate in the 43rd endorsed by Golden, John Q, himself. And "Q" obviously wanted everybody that follows his social media to know that one of his GOP Primary adversaries, Liam McCabe, had lashed out at Marty Golden, in addition to Golden's reticent staffer, who happens to be running for NYC Council. <br /><br />>>> THERE WILL BE A FULL POST ABOUT LIAM'S STATEMENT ABOUT MARTY GOLDEN AND JOHN QUAGLIONE SOMETIME TOMORROW <<<Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-91004988755401795572017-06-13T00:22:28.309-04:002017-06-13T00:22:28.309-04:00Liam McCabe can't crush John Quaglione like a ...Liam McCabe can't crush John Quaglione like a grape, it will lead to too much wining [rim-shot]!<br /><br />"I got a million uh dem..." -- Jimmy DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-63955521774002135082017-06-13T00:17:01.730-04:002017-06-13T00:17:01.730-04:00I don't think so.

The new owner-developer has gotten in to a major dispute with at least one of the adjoining neighbors over an adverse possession or easement issue..... That has led to court intervention and several acts of direct "self-help" to either stop or continue construction. The cops have been called to the scene repeated times, and once when construction was on-going somebody blocked some construction equipment and the police had to shut down the whole block for a while to straighten things out.....<br /><br />Sometimes folks like Seddio and Clark know when it's best to steer clear [ golly, that's twice I've used that phrase in this thread, which reminds me.....].<br /><br />To "Anonymous said... at 11:19 AM": you clever devil.....

AT 10:59 PM"<br /><br />I HAVE LONG KNOWN ABOUT THE PERENNIAL PROBLEMS AT 237 79TH STREET --- INDEED, I DO HAVE MANY FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES ON THAT BLOCK --- INDEED, I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT MARTY GOLDEN AND HIS STAFF CONCERNING THAT AND OTHER PROBLEMS THERE<br /><br /><br />Since the issue at hand is John Quaglione's media savvy and communications skills as Marty Golden's "Communications..." guy, I did a little research about the coverage of the abandoned, condemned, vermin and raccoon infested house that USED TO BE at 237 79th Street [FYI, it was torn down in 2013, with some credit given to Councilman Vinny Gentile for the demolition during the year JQ first ran against him]. If nothing else JQ or somebody else was able to keep Marty Golden's name out of this mess [I know personally that some people were completely dissatisfied with his office's "attempts" to solve this particular problem for many years].<br /><br />To give this story a little perspective and background: according to one published report, the NYC Department of Buildings said that the house at 237 79th Street had a "Full Vacate Order," with 22 complaints dating back to 1991, eight open violations that went as far back as 1997 and 12 Environmental Control Board violations dating back to 1996; and another report indicated that the owner of the house, abandoned the home in 1987 after he and his wife divorced. At least one neighbor living near the problem sight says that the home owner probably let 237 79th Street deteriorate rather than selling the property and the problem and giving his ex-wife a share following their divorce. There are also reports that in the year before the demolition, Councilman Gentile's staff had tracked down the owner and gotten his agreement to turn the property over to a charitable purpose.<br /><br />I am led to believe that the handling of the particular problem at 237 79th Street WILL BE A CAMPAIGN ISSUE if it turns out that the candidates in the fall are the man that some call "Q" and Justin B, one of the people that refers to John Quaglione as "Q" [btw, so does Liam McCabe and now obviously me].Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-8224042030821747422017-06-11T11:39:26.208-04:002017-06-11T11:39:26.208-04:00Justin had a bad night at the Salty Dog young dems...Justin had a bad night at the Salty Dog young dems forum.

Dig into this, it will be a gold mine for anybody that's anti-Q.<br /><br />Quaglione did his usual social media thing today and it leaves him wide open to getting whacked again on the way he has done his job at Marty Golden's office.<br /><br />His post on Twitter was about the "Saturday Night Fever" house on 79th Street, but he must have forgotten that just a few doors up the block form that house was another blighted property that people called him about for years without significant result. At least one neighbor on that block described John Quaglione as an absolute bungler when it came to those complaints. In 2013 when Q ran for City Council the first time, this particular 79th Street neighbor, who didn't like Vinny Gentile either, told everybody she knew not to vote for Q because of how bad he was with this one single problem over the years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-76144260593904632972017-06-11T00:48:14.563-04:002017-06-11T00:48:14.563-04:00RESPONSE: THE "DON'T GET LOST IN THE WEED...RESPONSE: THE "DON'T GET LOST IN THE WEEDS" EDITION<br /><br />TO EVERYBODY WHO CAN"T SEEM TO FOCUS ON THE ISSUE --- IS IT FAIR AND ACCURATE FOR JOHN QUAGLIONE TO CLAIM THAT HE IS MARTY GOLDEN'S "COMMUNICATIONS..."
