Sunday, October 5th, 2008Board of Elections Declares Orsini No Longer Chairman
Sunday, October 5th, 2008B Of E Declares Orsini Can’t Break Tie In Lackawanna Council Primary Because He Is No Longer Erie County Independence Party Chairman
In a decision that has implications that go far beyond Lackawanna’s 3rd Ward Independence Party primary, the Erie County Board of Elections has ruled that former Erie County Independence Party Chairman Tony Orsini has no standing to break a tie in the recent IP primary between incumbent Frances (”Binky”) Kulczyk and challenger Lawrence Murphy because Orsini is not longer the chairman, pending an upcoming party reorganization meeting.
The ruling was supported by both Democratic Elections Commissioner Dennis Ward and GOP Elections Commissioner Ralph Mohr. It completely contradicts Orsini’s claims that, according party rules, he remains chairman, until he, Tony Orsini, calls another re-org meeting. Once it was clear that Kulczyk and Murphy had tied 33-33 in the Sept. IP primary, Orsini called a meeting of about 10 Lackawanna Independence Party committee members who voted to give their party’s nod to Murphy. Since that choice will, apparently not stand, neither candidate will carry the IP line into the general election. Kulczyk, the overwhelming favorite, is the Democratic nominee for re-election. Murphy has no other line and will not be on the general election ballot.

Debbie Bucki Talking To The People In Her Effort To Be Our Town Clerk
Sunday, October 5th, 2008
Debbie Bucki would be an excellent Town Clerk. She has worked in several supervisory positions, when she was in charge of units and larger groups on her way to obtaining her Doctorate of Nursing degree.
Debbie is probably one of the most recognizable people in Amherst. She knows the value of pounding the streets to meet people face to face, answering any questions they want to ask. If Debbie doesn’t know the answer she will find it and get back to the questioner.
This past Saturday Debbie and Ton Weisbeck walked and knocked on the doors of their neighbors on Swanson and Countryside. On Sunday early afternoon they will be walking the area of Cottonwood and finishing Countryside
Debbie said she has heard more about what’s happening in these neighborhoods in a five minute conversation with these people than in the four years she has served on the Town Board. She has gathered information about a main water pipe which repeatedly breaks and floods their lawns, driveways and sometimes even their basements.
Debbie isn’t just another ‘yes’ person who says something to a citizen and then forgets it. When she is elected as the Town Clerk and hears about situations like the broken storm pipe she will make it her responsibility to see that this problem is corrected. Debbie is a rare person who truly cares about the people she serves
Several citizens have volunteered to walk with Debbie knocking on doors and finding out what things are bothering our citizens and why these problems have been ignored by the Town Clerk and Town government.
