For the rest of June, it's a race to gather signatures. Ulster Politics knows that for all of you "political insiders" this is "old news". But there are a lot of enrolled voters out there who have no idea what is going on right now. Our political process says that the candidates that want to be on the ballot this November have to gather signatures from 5% of enrolled voters in that party.

Interesting enough, it was reported to me that Elliott Auerbach, County Comptroller had to made a mad dash to the executive men's room after lunch time. It may also be a coincidence that lunches missing in Elenville Village Hall have dropped off completely since November. This is Secret Sam reporting. Stay tuned for further developments.
