Royal watchers need to look no further across the pond to keep up on the latest on the royal clan. If Joe has his wish of being Supervisor, we can go to Town Hall to hob knob with some  of our own local royals.

Perhaps Joe Kakish wants to be a supervisor candidate because of his family ties and the possibility of establishing a government of tribal council and rewarding those that endorsed him. We certainly know from his performance with the Poughkeepsie Journal interview that he's not qualified to take on the responsilbilities of being the chief executive/financial officer of Hyde Park.

How would his family ties affect his performance in Hyde Park? Among his relatives, there are numerous businesses which include builders, contractors, lawyers in the area. Who's to say Hyde Park wouldn't be a repeat of the Paroli scandal that took place in the 1990's? Could the posibility of him appointing cousins  (who do not share the last name to avoid scrutiny) to town committees and awarding bids to their businesses be forthcoming?

Also noted that a look at the legal documents in which both the Nesheiwats and Kakish/Qaqish's are listed as defendents that are on file with the DC Clerk total more than 600.

Attached is just a glimpse at this family tree which also goes by the name Nesheiwat and Zeiden. Joseph Kakish mother's (Margaret) father was the tribal leader and at the time he died in 1983, Joseph was one of 37 grandchildren.
