Readers say motivation in writing this story is questionable.
Lets see who wrote the story. Harris the Mayors press officer. Well Mike this will be used against you at some later date at a council meet when you disagree with Mayor. Just wait for it.
Memo from Mayor to Mike. Next time you say something to the press run it by White Horse Strategist first.
The reporter’s reputation for considering himself a buddy of the mayor makes his motivation in writing this story questionable.
Scary that Sedon would respond to that woman…..
So what, he sent an off the cuff response. Lesson learned for Mike. He may not be as polished as our mayor and his two buddies, but he is the real deal, and we are lucky to have him.
Agree % 1000 #2. This store gets the front page of the record. I guess Harris was promised a cushy job in the Mayor transition team when he runs for higher office.
Remember what our Mayors job was in the Mc Greevy administration. His connections run deep with the press. Remember he consorted with that guy who use to write favorable stories about the Mayor on the patch. I just wonder if he had any connection in Staten Island.
The story was at North Media and comments were made there and opened to all its readers and commenters.
How many posters here responded at North Media where real names and backgrounds are posted.
Mr. Sedon benefited by all the news press. Don’t be too surprised if he moves up the chain of command.
Yes, #4, can we get an answer to the Staten Island Advance debacle?
Funny how the union thugs butter up Mike as we enter the CBAs because they know they can whisper in his ear for his conversations with the Village Manager. They can’t do that with others, which is why there is so much vitriol against them. It’s pure union politics, try to stack the Council with people who will agree to CBAs negotiated by the Village that disadvantage taxpayers, It’s what we got in 2009 and again in 2010. I hope Mike has the guts to stand up and make sure annual wage increases in the new CBAs are held below both the 2% property tax cap as well as the 2% inflation rate. Otherwise he’s just a pawn in the union game.
Union Thugs? What union thugs #8? Do you have names?
XXX are you out of your mind. “Move up the chain of command”
If someone will benefited by all the news press your buddy the Mayor would be the president of the World.
#8 is just not happy because they didn’t get their Xmas bonus so no new BMW this year and membership in the Ridgewood Country Club is questionable.
Some times you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.
Both the email and the reply were inappropriate. Bear hunting is a complex issue that should not be addressed with shock images any more than anti-choice folks should use bloody fetuses to advance their cause. But Mike is a media member himself and should know better that he should not reply in such a glib way.
Well said #13
