Town of Ulster Planner Alan Sorensen, who serves as the Minority Leader of the Sullivan County Legislature, received a $500 contribution in June of 2011 from MJJ,LLC. Is that Mandelbaum? To be honest, we are not sure and are not making any accusations but being we do know that Mr. Mandelbaum has several different companies and uses similar names as the corporate contribution below "MJJ", we feel it's appropriate that we ask the question: Has the town planner ever taken a political contribution from Mr. Mandelbaum? If he has than there is a very clear conflict of interest. Lets not forget that the planning board (which we have already talked about that fiasco) is the lead agency on Ulster Gardens, not the town itself.

Again, we do not know that Mr. Madelbaum made the above contribution, or if the two are connected. We are just asking the questions
Of course MJJ, LLC is Mandelbaum. It's absolutely shameless how blatantly this project is being rammed through by the powers that be in the town and county. Quigley not only stacked the board with supporters, he was even overheard assuring Mandelbaum that he's "got the county" on board for the project.
ReplyDeleteHaven't we had enough of the elite enriching themselves on the backs of taxpayers and unwitting residents who will be left holding the bag?
This project needs a full environmental review before even being considered -- if Mandelbaum were at all concerned with preserving the dignity of the town, he would find a more suitable location for his latest "vision." There are major issues with this project site, including water, runoff, ingress & egress and traffic, not to mention that some 21,000 Native American artifacts were discovered on the property when the last developer attempted a similar project.
Also, it's important to note that this is not just senior housing -- plans also include affordable family units. Mandelbaum said he would accept Sect. 8., which will ultimately increase the town of Ulster's Safety Net costs.
Alan Sorensen is a scumbag. He's got his fingers in everything. Did you know he's also the town planner in Mamakating? Just how many towns is he on the payroll of?
ReplyDeleteAnd Mandelbaum is another asshole. He recently tried to strong-arm Wawarsing into paying the water bill at his senior housing complex in Ellenville. Fortunately, the town board told him to take a hike.
Is there no end to this corrupt bullshit?
Poverty Pimps one and all. All they do is use government money to build these places, then collect government checks to pay the bills. They profit on the poor and people who live on government money. If they had to use their own money they would never be built.
