Mr. Halaby seems to have conveniently forgotten that the dirtiest campaign trick of all was put into play by his side during the 2014 Village Council race –
An unnamed person telephoned Mike Sedon’s employer (the Staten Island Advance), spoke directly to Mr. Sedon’s supervisor, and suggested that the Advance force Mr. Sedon to drop his candidacy for Ridgewood Village Council, or be terminated from his position at the Advance. When told of the telephone call by his supervisor, Mr. Sedon chose to resign from his position rather than to continue working for a company willing to violate a NY State law that prohibits employers from retaliating against an employee’s desire to serve as a public official. The name of the person who called Mr. Sedon’s employer was never publicly revealed, but many of Mr. Halaby’s cohorts know who did it.
P.A.
WOW this store reads like CNN. “but many of Mr. Halaby’s cohorts know who did it.” Next will hear “sources close to the investigation”.
Seems like an intervention taken right out of the White Horse Strategies playbook.

Hmm.
There was no “investigation.” The Village Council “majority” at the time felt the issue unworthy of investigating.
Mike is our next mayor….
I will vote for anyone that will pave our streets…North Pleasant Avenue is an embarrassment.
Waiting for Adam Schiff’s memo on this!
What Aronsohn did to Sedon was despicable. Mike Sedon is a good man, a great man, an honest man. For a sitting elected official to try and derail his campaign was disgusting. So happy Mike was elected by a HUGE margin, and we look forward to four more years of his service. Thank you Deputy Mayor Sedon.

Seems like getting your municipal political opponent fired from his journalism job would easily qualify as a White Horse “Strategy”.
“White Horse” Strategies? For the sake of truth in advertising, mightn’t Aronsohn’s firm better have been named “Black Hat Strategies?”
8:16 you are not exactly correct on that. Tom Riche contacted the prosecutor’s office, But Aronsohn himself…nope, he did not a thing! Even mild-mannered Leonard Eisen got up and said it was likely “someone in this room” while staring at Aronsohn.
8:46 – You want your streets paved, and so do I. But if the Aronsohn-backed candidates get in then the agenda items will be partisan national issues like gun control, immigrants, ICE, and so on. Local politics should just be local issues, like streets, parks, and such.
This Sedon backstabbing seals it for me. Sedon has my and my family’s vote. The other side it way too vile to be trusted. Mean and evil people.
Good for you Mike, I knew you were a good guy. Yes you could be the next mayor, you got my vote.
I have never stopped wishing that the perpetrator would be publicly identified. People are being fired for harassment episodes decades ago. Let’s get on that bandwagon. It was illegal, too.
Please stop. It was Aronsohn. Everyone knows it was Aronsohn calling Sedon’s employer. Didn’t Knudsen acknowledge it was Aronsohn?
There was no “investigation” because aronsohn wasn’t going to investigate himself. Hauck Puviarelli and sonenfeld were not going to “investigate” aronsohn.. The “investigation” was a sham and a slap in the face to Ridgewood residents.
Not the only election process they interfered with. They have an established pattern of behavior. Petition interference and sonenfeld and aronsohn guilty of ethics violations.
Candidate Harwin is forever linked to Aronsohn and his ilk.
