“We're not kidding. Tom Gormlely is so dumb that he couldn't write his
own letter to the editor. Now, when you're dumb enough not to be able to
write your own letter you must have to be REALLY dumb to ask Steve
Savarese to write said letter.
So what do you want Tom, John Dayton , or maybe Steve Savarese who is
porking the town for over 7 big ones a month---you morons want to raise
our taxes by 7 percent!
Let's face it, Steve Savarese would put an insomniac to sleep.
Are their two bigger liars in town than Steve and Tom?
STILL THE KNUCKLEHEADS IN THE GORMLEY ADMINISTRATION WANT TO RAISE YOUR TAXES BY 7 PERCENT.
Don't let the bastards wear you down.”
Classy stuff. The shrill is getting louder, and the spokesman for the former First Selectman has resorted to name-calling rather than logic. Spelling Tom Gormley’s name wrong in the same sentence where Mr. DeAngelis proclaims that the First Selectman is dumb, is priceless.
Not one concrete suggestion. Lets look at the facts. We all know that Tom Gormley and Bob Desmarais (not Elaine Strobel) are responsible for the housing collapse, high prices at the pump, outrageous heating costs, and skyrocketing food prices. The stock market has been in free-fall because of this incompetent duo, but lets look at elements of the Middlebury Budget that Mr. Gormley has no control over.
That is the Region 15 Budget - Big increases this year. Huge! What did Middlebury do? Voters attempted to vote the School Budget down. What happened? Southbury outvoted us. Budget passed - Game Over! There was nothing Middlebury nor Tom Gormley could do to change this. The high tax increase was etched in stone and came exclusively from Region 15. Why aren’t angry taxpayers storming the Region 15 building demanding accountability?
So what is left? The Town Budget, a separate entity from the School Budget. Most Town Budgets go up every year. Not this year in Middlebury. Those morons Tom Gormley and John Dayton CUT THE BUDGET! They cut the Budget by 3.16%.
No ideas, just name calling. No logical thinking, just politically motivated rhetoric that offers nothing productive. Are the critics of the present administration content to watch the School Budget soar each year without one single word of criticism, at the same time haranguing Tom Gormley for trying to reduce taxes on the Town side?
To say that the Gormley administration raised your taxes 7% is a big lie. To say that Region 15 raised your taxes is the truth. To say that the Gormley administration attempted to offset your tax increase, by cutting the budget by 3.16% is also the truth.

I think Pat has realized that no one likes him. Maybe thats why he had to resort to playing around with students when he worked for the state. He is a real classy guy
What is really scary is that Pat seems to have dozens, if not hundreds, of followers who seem to believe his rantings.
The old saying "if you say a lie enough times" apparently is true.
There is nobody out there saying the truth over and over again, so Pat's lies have an unchallenged audience and there are a lot of lemmings listening.
God save us...
Well you guys seem to claim that Ed St. John is responsible for the housing collapse, high prices at the pump, outrageous heating costs, and skyrocketing food prices. Looks like the pot calling the kettle black. At least you are finally admitting the factors that are squeezing taxpayers aren't necessarily the responsibility of the local town officials whether it's Ed, Tom or Bob. If only we could find officials who can adjust to the extraneous factors that bind us as Ed did so well for 24 years.
Someone save us from these clowns!
Oh My God!!!! Ed St. John did nothing but continually raise the Town side of the budget year over year every year he was there!!!! The only thing he did different than Tom is to be sure there was little or no criticism of his budgets at all, until his last few years. The funny thing is that the very people who were beating Ed in those last couple of years are now seen with Ed, as they pound away on the new administration. Hey, all Ed did was let the Region budget grow to what it is today, and when asked, said "there's nothing I can do about it, but I'll get a committe to study it". The bottom line, people, is that Public Works became a bloated operation equipment-wise under Ed, and really ended up doing little of the work all that expensive equipment was bought for. What makes it all worse is that the heavy equipment market has had the bottom drop out, and a lot of those machines McCormack wants to sell are going to get more at the scrapyard than the used machinery yards. And, the Region continued to grow almost uncontrollably. So, Ed did nothing for us in terms of prudent budgeting. He started this mess, and Tom is stuck with it.
