EDITORIAL: A NEW ERA BEGINS IN AMHERST HISTORY
Since the news that Amherst Supervisor Mohan has decided to become a democrat and leave the Republican Party and is’t special interest philosophy there has been volumes of discussion.
Dr.Mohan has made it clear why he left the Republican Party was he strongly believed the Republicans have become a party who favors elite special interest groups and not the people of Amherst.
His decision to leave his group of friends, who showed him off as a shinny light of the Republican Party was a brave choice. He left a cocoon where he was honored and respected to enter the unsure waters of the Democratic Party. A Party he believes does care for the people of Amherst. He has told me many times how much he cares for the people and how they are being abused by his Republican Party.
Dr. Mohan will be part of a group on his Town Board, who he strongly feels are the Council Members who care for the people of Amherst. He will be working closely with the three strong willed Democrats beginning with Debbie Bucki, .Mark Manna and Dan Ward.
Only a fool would believe there will not be changes in the voting pattern on our Town Board. Dr. Mohan’s suggestions will be weighed differently by the Republican Town Board members .
