The writers at the HV News Lies have an idea of how Jim Langan can make a quick buck or two to boost his monthly income of $866 a month: appear on TLC's reality show 'My Strange Addiction'.
Jim Langan appears to have an obsession with the ex supervisor Thomas Martino. We have received correspondence that Jim featured Tom Martino in his most recent weekly addition...again. Tom Martino has either been featured or at least mentioned in ALMOST EVERY single edition of his paper since he took office January 2010: Archive Issues 
The kicker of this blog is, Tom Martino isn't supervisor anymore. In fact, we have received word that he hasn't even attended a town board meeting since he left office, nor has he been in attendence to any political event, etc. So what is Jim Langan's deal anyways? The writers here are speculating...doesn't Caroline do it for him?
Whatever the reason, the writers at the HV News Lies think it's just plain weird.
In regards to the latest editorial that was published Jim really needs to state and disclose truthful and correct information if he's going to throw around statistics.

1) Town poperty tax increased 20%. In October 2009, the voters approved to borrow the monies to build a new and much needed police and court facility. Approximately 10% of increase of the town tax was a result of the bonds of the police/court facility that are due to be paid.
2) Jim takes a jab at the Chamber of Commerce in his editorial, which the writers find so ironic considering he at one time was an active member of the Chamber. He has since resigned and the writers were told he did so in a letter that was filled with colorful language.
Jim was apparently rather...angry and bitter that he was told NOT to show up to last October's Supervisor Debate at Coppola's.

The individual in the photo on the left is engaged in honest work. Jim Langan is not engaged in any such activity. Most of Dutchess County knows that Jim Langan is a thief and a deadbeat. He is almost $1,000,000.00 in debt and his monthly income is only $866.00 in social security. Langan is a joke.

We have been provided a copy of James Kenndy Langan’s latest rant (April 18, 2012 issue of The Hudson Valley News) concerning the state of Hyde Park. Keeping true to form, James Kennedy Langan, a known thief, liar and coward, is lashing out at anyone who is or was in a position of authority. We find it of interest that James Langan and his spouse, Caroline Carey, have file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they cannot manage their finances to the tune of almost $1,000,000.00. The Langans were not entirely truthful at their last bankruptcy hearing in providing financial information to the bankruptcy trustee. As a result of their prevarication, they will be getting a visit at their residence by the bankruptcy trustee and an appraiser.

The answer as to why James Kennedy Langan is in a constant state of hostility is open to speculation. We are of the opinion that James Kennedy Langan is a troubled individual who “gets off” on trashing others. Mr. Langan is now standing on the abyss of old age and he has nothing to show for his sixty-five years except for a ruined reputation and an insurmountable mountain of debt. Remember, he is a thief and a deadbeat. James Kennedy Langan lashed out when he thinks about whould might have been if he did not commit larceny when he was employed by Drexel, Burnam, Lambert. James Kennedy Langan’s life has been a mess ever since. $866.00 per month on social security tells us he has not worked very much since his NY Stock Exchange days. Very soon, his residence will be going on the auction block, along with its contents. It is also rumored that the Langan’s rag paper may also suffer the same fate. Sixty-five years old is not a good time in one’s life to be stripped financially and having to start over. However, we cannot think of a better candidate for this to happen to. With his rag “newspaper” gone, James Kennedy Langan will lose his identity. He will be known as just another petty thief.

We hope that the bankruptcy trustee will “pull the plug” on the Langan’s Hudson Valley News since it has served no positive purpose other than to provide James Kennedy Langan with an outlet for his moronic ranting.

The Hudson Valley News is in its death throes. The death rattle can be heard throughout the area. Sales of this abominable rag are non-existent. Remember, this rag is drowning in a sea of red ink. Yet, the delusional James Kennedy Langan has stated that it’s doing “reasonably well”.

Where is the coup de gras?

Could it be that Langan's world is falling apart and he just can't take it? Has he suddenly found himself a social outcast.? Thank you for exposing this maggot.

Langan has done great harm to the Hyde Park community with the lies that he has published in his trash newspaper. It give me and others in the community that his paper will soon be just a bad memory. It also give great satisfaction that Langan and Caroline Carey will soon be leaving our community and hopefully Dutchess County once their home is auctioned off because of the abortion that they have made of their finances. It has been said that Langan resigned from the Chamber of Commerce in disgrace when it was revealed that he is in fact and deed, a crook. Pray that they will leave soon for the sake of our community.

Langan is a John Bickford clone. Both are angry old men who have an insatiable need for attention before they leave this life. Both will only leave of wake of self-humiliating events throught their political and personal diatribes which will fortunately for mankind will be quickly forgotten. Langan's paper is as good as gone. Bickford is in a state of rage since Martino did not re-appoint him to the planning board. Thank God! Bickford's Wednesday night marathon pontifications were grueling and quite insufferable. Bickford should find a good therapist and take Langan along with him, they both display similar symptoms.

Maybe Langan has a sexual obsession with men who are in positions of power.

Is Langan a closet Rump Ranger? It appears that way.

I recently had the opportunity to view the school board meeting concerning the closing of HPE. I took particular interest in John Bickford. This man if a pumped up fool. What he had to say was pure, unadulterated drivel. Since when did Bickford become a child psychologist? My neighbor, who was present during Bickford's remarks said that many of those who were in attendence were disgusted with this man who has been described as a pompous oaf. Is it true that he is on the school district budget committee? Heaven help us.

Hi Hyde Park friends-
There is a lot of interesting stuff here and I like a lot of the material. A lot of the focus is on attacking Jim Langan and others on the town board. Would much rather see you focus on Hyde Park issues and make suggestions on how to improve things for all of us. The personal attacks make the writers and community look trivial and bitter. Not sure why that would be productive? Are the writers just losers in the community that want to hide their identity???? I hope not.....but it is a reasonable assumption given the pathetic comments. You are better and we are better than that!!! Mike

How many Langans does it take to change a lightbulb...?
Ok, who took the lightbulb?
