More Rath Building b-s

I notice that the Buffalo News (Joseph Giambra's official organ) is actively trying to help Giambra by assassinating DiBenedetti's character. Yes, the guy's supposed to pay his taxes and fees on time but the timing seems...suspicious, n'est-ce pas? Also - notice these self-evident truths: 1. Giambra does not think that giving jobs to minimally-if-at-all qualified buddies of his is a bad thing or something to be ashamed of. 2. Giambra makes no apologies whatsoever for his patronage-laden County Government. 3. Giambra's biggest critic on patronage is his old friend DiBenedetti. 4. When challenged by the increasingly-less-sycophantic-local-press about patronage, Giambra almost immediately launches an irrelevant attack on DiBenedetti, accusing him of having been in charge of patronage under Gorski. You know what, Joel? Gorski left County Hall with a surplus. Gorski happened a million years ago, in political terms. If DiBenedetti has changed his mind, and he now opposes patronage jobs, he's already way ahead of you. Way ahead. And let this be a wakeup call to the Donn Esmondes of the world and everyone else who thinks Giambra's going to be this region's savior. Or that he really has vision. He doesn't. He isn't. He has a vision, alright - he envisions keeping his buddies on the payroll while firing 3,000 competent, experienced workers. He'll be a savior, alright - to the extended Giambra and Getz families. Everyone else, as far as Joel is concerned, can go to hell.
