That is a question for the state legislature, and you have already posted it in another thread. This thread - while maybe not addressing as important a question in your estimation - is about Rich David’s future. Does he go to work for Adam W? Does he even stay in the area?

thomas Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Quite right sir. However, the context as to why he must pursue other avenues in the future is that he along with Broome County are victimized by gerrymandering. Good day.

A Democrat controlled legislature set the boundaries. So, instead of pandering to Tompkins County leftists that were never going to vote for him, pounding more pavement in the towns of Vestal and Union, two of the district’s largest population centers, might have fetched the Conservative Party candidate those 1500 votes he needed. “The map! The map!” is a weak excuse. If anything, lack of strong ethic did him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does a many times self-touted job creator need someone else, especially a political figure or former political figure, to get him a job? It was Rich David’s job to get himself elected. He failed, because he did not work hard enough. “It’s Bucci’s fault!” is another weak excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Agreed. One has to play the cards they are dealt... For the record here's BC Senate District 51 results, formerly part of District 52. This Republican margin would have won it for David in the former District 52. But you can't live in the past.

Almost half of their classes are online. Enrollment is down so revenues are too. Staff and faculty that leave aren’t being replaced. Hiring another do-nothing administrator at over $100,000 a year is exactly what I would expect out of that place, as long as they don’t need more pavilions.

A creative, innovative, dynamic business leader would scoff at the idea of ever holding a do nothing political machine patronage job.

Withe margin as close as it was, he definitely contributed. But the candidate himself contributed the most by paying insufficient attention to towns like Vestal, Union and Chenango. He had name recognition there and good Republican voter bases out of which he could have gotten those 1500 votes he needed. Too much partying, not enough pavement pounding.
