Showdown In Ulster?

One thing you have to give Nick Woerner credit for, in the tough economic times that we are
all going though, he has a public hearing, and goes over the budget line by line and defends the
budget that he crafted. Yet, In the next election cycle, with the big race being the County
Clerk [Yawn] a real exciting supervisors contest may be brewing. The Town of Ulster GOP
looks like they would like the flex there once mighty muscle. Word around town is that two
member's of the Town Republican Party may be thinking about entering the race. The two
names I hear being circulated are businessman John Morrow and Frm. State Assemblyman
John Guerin. Both men are well known within the town. In checking my ageing memory banks,
I do not believe Mr. Morrow ever ran for public office, but Guerin, who first broke on the scene
in 1994 has been though three tough races. To be honest I though John was just a GOP'er in 94
who rode the Pataki wave in that year. Yet, when he ran for reelection he ran against Jeanette
Provenzano, one of the toughest campaigners I have ever seen with my two eyes was
able to pull out a win. Woerner, the grandson of the legendary Former City of Kingston Chairman
Larry Woerner, is tough on the trail. No one can say Nick has not earned his battle scars. If any
one of the three lock horns next November this may be the one to watch. For one thing,
I know this one is going to be expensive.
