In a RECORDONLINE.com (http://bit.ly/1wAax5x) article chronicling the legal and political fallout that was born out of last year’s elections—including sworn affidavits detailing voter intimidation by poll watchers from both sides, continued charges of KJ voter fraud by United Monroe, and up to and including a discrimination law suit that was filed by members of United Monroe after their applications to serve as out-of-town voting inspectors inside KJ were ultimately rescinded—little has changed in the way of either side gaining trust for the other.
At stake in this year’s Nov. 4 elections are multiple state and federal offices, but all eyes will be on the vacant 98th Assembly District seat race between Democrat Elisa Tutini, Republican Karl Brabenec, and United Monroe candidate Dan Castricone, who has sworn to oppose Kiryas Joel’s proposed annexation.
I thought the Satmar Rebbe a’h was against Yidden annexing Goyish land …isn’t this ‘Hisgarus BaUmos’??

Rav Yoish, Z’tl, must be turning over in his grave watching the political games his chassidim are playing and their efforts to impose themselves on the goiyem. He created KJ with the support and cooperation from the locals and now his followers create this chilul hashem. Hopefully, their efforts will fail.
I wish these crooks would move out of NY into an area where their deceit wouldn’t be so egregious.
the gentiles in Monroe welcome KJ – all those fighting are self-hating Jews so hisgarus b’umos is not an issue
