I'm
thinking 2015 will be the year that I prepare to run for public office.
Whether I get elected or not is another story, no less get on the
ballot. I have the immense will. I just need a way to go about it. On his blog/news site, Sullivan County resident Bill Liblick said it best last year:
Because 2015 is so challenging for me with career and a life in the city, running for office in Sullivan is simply not possible. I hope that in two years it will be, or at worst, four. I have so much that I want to accomplish: turn the downtowns in Monticello and Liberty into bustling commercial centers and tourist hubs, additional reopened resorts to allow the County to be a convention and conference hub and even manufacturing. Sullivan is a diamond in the rough: if you polish and cut that diamond, you'll find that it shines pretty bright.
Those who are fortunate enough to be chosen members of the
“Old Boys Club” have been successful in their mission in convincing and leading several legislators some old and new down a continual destructive path in order to protect their self serving beneficial interests.
The residents of Sullivan County have had enough. We cannot simply rely on casinos to be our savior. We need a plan of action. We need leadership.
Samuelson needs to act like a leader. He needs to stop being the yes man for the “Old Boys Club.” These people are so good and slick at what they do in protecting their personal interests that they did an Academy Award winning performance in conning Samuelson. Samuelson, who is an actor by trade, could never deliver such a feat even if he wanted to.
It is time Samuelson wakes up and realizes why he was elected. All these charades must stop! If Samuelson feels he cannot do the job – Then he should step aside and let someone else take the helm.
A summit between county, town and village governments discussing our financial problems can go a long way towards finding some meaningful solutions. We all have to be on the same page.

I'm emphasizing that point. The fact is this: I would be more than willing to be the one to take that helm. My platform would be not just straightforward, but simple: allow Sullivan County to compete with other counties in the region. My information on all this is both second hand and not first eye. I know that a recent scandal, for lack of a better word has brought the confidence in the County government to a low point. I've argued this in the past and will spend much of this year doing so in public: Sullivan needs a county executive.

[Sullivan County Legislative Chairman Scott] Samuelson needs to act like a leader.
