This is an update to our previous blog post regarding our Bizarre, Un-American, Non-Democratic, Insider-Driven and Controlled, One-Party System for Village elections here in Briarcliff.

 

For a complete understanding of this bizarre process, and what YOU can do about it, please see our previous blog post at this URL:

As an update, today, January 4th, The Peoples Caucus announced the two candidates that WILL win the upcoming election for two open Village Trustee positions.  

These two pre-ordained individuals WILL win unless they are challenged by an individual (or individuals) who are NOT sponsored (pre-ordained) by the secretive, insider-driven Peoples Caucus.

 

There will be a “nominating meeting “ held on January 8th in order to complete the process of fully blessing these candidates. 

  • Did YOU have any say in who these individuals would be? 

  • Is it not convenient that two Trustee slots are opening and two candidates have been pre-ordained by The Peoples Caucus?

  • Are YOU concerned that, if they run un-opposed

    • There will be NO election? 

  • There will be NO constructive dialogue about what is best for Briarcliff?  

  • The Peoples Caucus will continue to choose individuals to run our Village in a secretive fashion and run them in unopposed elections.

  • Our Village officials will continue to be answerable and beholden to a very small group of insiders who are active in the Peoples Caucus – and they will NOT be answerable to YOU, since YOU didn’t pre-ordain them or elect them?

    •  

    This is an all-call to residents of the Village to consider running as an opposition candidate to the Peoples Caucus sponsored candidates.  The United States is a multi-party, democracy.  Our Village should not be run by a single party that selects its candidates secretively and runs them unopposed year after year.

     

    The next step in this process is a candidate debate on January 22nd.  Please consider running.
