The writers here at the HV News Lies received the following article which explains the candidates on this past November's ballot in Hyde Park as well as Hyde Park's GOP party bosses.

Kieran Michael Lalor  recently declared his independence from the GOP in his run for the 105th district, citing:

Said Lalor, “The overwhelming majority of rank and  file GOP Committee members are good hardworking Republicans.  But the  county GOP leadership, namely Vice Chairman Ken Stenger and Chairman  Mike McCormack are not committed to Republican principles or improving  the lives of New Yorkers or Dutchess County residents.”

Continued Lalor, “The party bosses pick weak candidates for the wrong  reasons and their track record proves it. Since the current regime came  into power, the GOP has picked a string of losing candidates and  Republican turnout has been down.  This reveals a wide disconnect  between the party elites and actual Republican voters.”

The following was received from Trevor:

Not all is well in the world of the Dutchess County GOP. The Hyde Park GOP had their ears pinned back last November under the incompetent leadership of Hyde Park GOP chairman Jean McArthur and on March 20th, in a special election to fill two assembly seats, again the Republican were trounced. If we didn't know better, one would think that Jean McArthur was behind those ill fated assembly campaigns as well. However, these two defeats can be placed at the feet of the Mssrs. McCormick and Stenger, the chairman and vice-chairman of the Dutchess County GOP respectively. With this kind of leadership, the future success of candidates that are put up for election by these individuals just may be doomed along with the success of the Dutchess GOP as a whole.

Word throughout county political circles claim that GOP Election Commissioner Haight has proven to be impotent. Haight was also the choice of McCormick and Stenger, and of course, Jean McArthur. Need we say more?

We believe that with leadership such as what has been provided by McCormick, Stenger and McArthur the Democrats may just have an easy time of it come November.

God bless Kieran Lalor. He has exposed the party bosses for what they really are. Give 'em hell Kieran.
