Congratulations Chief Taggard

First let me apologize for failing to update the blog, a little too much on my plate recently.

Now to the news at hand:

About a week late as I was expecting a few of those in attendance to e mail some photos of the Swearing in Ceremony, sorry to disappoint but as of yet no pictures to display.

Congratulations are in order for the Town of Ulster's new Police Chief, Officer Matt Taggard.
The ceremony was well attended by family and friends and quite a few residents.
Chief Taggard in his normal humble manner took the oath to protect and serve and defend the Constitution before Judge Sue Kesick after the proceedings were initiated by the Pledge of Alliegence lead by the Boy Scouts of America Troop 8 based at the SawKill Fire House.
It must have been a difficult decision to choose between two such fine officers as Matt Taggard & Joe Sinagra and the Town can boast of having two of the State's best officers as Chief & Deputy Chief.
In attendance the entire complement of T of U PD, lined up in support of their newly sworn in Chief.
Chief's Taggard's speach was short and complimentary of the Residents of the Town and his Officers and Academy Cadets. He discussed past performance and layed out his agenda for the future of Law Enforcement for the Town. Representatives of the Olive PD were in attendance to offer support for a dear colleague and friend.
Ulster Hose FD was also in attendance and were recognized for their assistance and support of the Town of Ulster PD and their fine work.
We would like to wish Chief Taggard God Speed in his new position and we congratulate him again for his fine performance as an Officer for these many years.
We also congratulate Deputy Chief Sinagra and wish him the best of luck.
Chief Watzka will be surley missed as his service to Town of Ulster residents was unwavering and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

  1. Some serious anger issues there eh, 2:58?

    Just like Rooney tried to play politics at the Hooley on the Hudson and Warrior Weekend, 2:58's post on the appointment of the new chief is misplaced.

    Congratulations to new Chief Matt Taggart and thanks to Chief Watska for a job well done. There is much work to be done to keep Ulster safe.

  2. Seriously?? What does a new police chief in the Town of Ulster have to do with Rooney and Cahill.

    Congratulations to Chief Taggard. He is a well known professional and will do a great job.

    PS: His name ends in a "D"

  3. Congrats Matt! You are deserving of this promotion. I know you will bring the moral back and the UPD will be the finest in the County.

    The first poster obviously harbors some resentment toward Assemblyman Cahill, I happen to like the guy and will vote for him.....again.

  4. Way to go Chief Taggard. Ulster is in good hands. I look forward to increased patrols in the distant regions of the town, especially out Hurley,Lucas and in Hillside acres.
    To the first poster, get a life. This is not the place for you illiterate diatribe. If you are the kind of person supporting Rooney, he is doomed.

  5. Sinagra should have gotten it but that is water under the bridge. He now has to deal with not being the boss. Good Luck with that Chief Taggard. As for Rooney, anyone that puts the kind of garbage over the airwaves and in my mailbox is not worthy of my vote. Putting criminals in daycare centers? He insults my intelligence.

  6. Congrat's Chief Taggard, God Speed!

  7. I was thinking of voting against all incumbents until I read this blograil. WTF is this Rooney guy all about that he can't give anyone else their space? I am going to pick and choose on election day.

  8. Wow, after hearing that voicemail, Matt's new boss has some mouth on him! I think there is an anger management class in his future.

  9. Maybe Chief Taggarts first arrest should be Quigley. Sounds like a threat to me . Quigleys arrogants is showing.
    If you haven t heard the tape, go to blabers blog, you ll get an earfull !!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Wow, just heard the tape. Maybe Quigley should play the tape for the Nuns over there at St Colemans High School.Or for Father Burke the next time Quigley the hypocripe is in church. We thought woerner was bad, we really should be proud of this guy !!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Jeremy Blaber who's that? Is he that kid that beats his mother up? He looks like Chumley, from that show Pawn Stars! Shame on you Jeremy!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yeah the one running for New Paltz Mayor. It's a good thing we have saved his good blog posts over the years. Should be an interesting campaign. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

    I guess if you are a Democrat you can drop the F-bomb in public and go around choking out reporters. But if you are a Republican, you can't even bitch out someone on voice mail.

    ReplyDelete
  13. If you have heard that recording from Quigley, I think it is pretty simple this guy has had enough, rightfully so. This fat kid Blaber that Quigley tried to help would run the river dry if he could. Little boy blue has cried one too many times and who really cares. This guy is tied in with one of the most corrupt past administrations the TOU has probably ever seen. Woerner and Secreto had so many of the towns people bamboozled it isn't even funny. Everywhere you turn its time to deal with one of them back door deals. This administration has just started to scratch the surface and already look what they have found. Corrupting everything they have ever dealt with, what a bunch of SCUMBAGS...Don't pass judgment on Quigley, if you had to deal with all of this nonsense you would eventually flip out as well, I know I would...

    ReplyDelete
  14. You can be a Republican without being an arrogant a--hole, but thats just what Quigley is !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. This is what Blaber's end game is. He tries to draw people in and then he has got them. Eventually he burns everyone that deals with him. Why? I have no idea. It is not like his blog is a paying business. It is not like all of his hack work has gotten him a patronage job. If anyone in this county owes him it is Auerbach, and that guy keeps his distance from him at all costs unless he needs him to do something.

    I don't know what is worse, Blaber's Hack pieces or the fact that he thinks that his posts are getting him somewhere in this world. It is just pitiful.

    He is trying to clean up Woerner's mess over the little league thing. We all know Woerner didn't really think that the little league was going to pay. My guess is he was just trying to beat the sales tax and the bill got lost. Kind of like the misunderstanding over Nicky's free campaign headquarters that the landlord thought was going to get him free curb cuts. Just one big "Misunderstanding". Yet this is who Blaber is trying to defend.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Blaber is unbalanced and unfair just the opposite of what his very own blog is suppose to represent.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I like it here better. Blaber has refused to publish a single one of my comments all day long

    ReplyDelete
  18. I can vaguely recall this Blaber character pushing his very mother down a flight of stairs. Who in their right mind could possibly ever respect this chump...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Isn't this Blaber like some type of self proclaimed media reporter...he thinks he is like the Dan Rather of the Hudson Valley, well then report both sides of the story on your blog as well. Don't be a hypocrite.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Isn't this the same Blaber that publicly accused Nina Postupack of giving licenses to illegal aliens so that they could drive drunk and murder kids?

    There's the guy I want speaking on my behalf.

    I bet you Karma comes around to kick him in the teeth on that one.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Thats the true republican way, keep blaming someone else, blame woerner, blame blaber .....listen to the tape !! this man is out of control. He is supposed to be a professional. he is the Town Supervisor. He can not act like this. I ll bet Hine is liking all this.This will be nice listening when Quigley trys to run for county exect. Hes a nut !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I agree 553, it is always a big mistake...The facts are the biggest mistake was giving this moron Woerner two terms. Twice the damage, and now as things become known to the new admin., they still find a way to back pedal their way out. Kudos to Kitchen for bringing it to the table. He was the only guy from the past admin to ever question Woerner and his voting record proves that. This guy cares about the people he represents. Unfortunately the taxpayers will still have to feel the effects of Woerner and crew throughout this tax season...JUST DON'T FORGET NEXT TIME YOUR AT THE POLL

    ReplyDelete
  23. But is was ok when Cahill did it? Publicly no less.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Kudos to Kitchen ...are you kidding ???? He is a joke..If hes not sleeping at the town board meetings , hes either drunk or high. Don t get to close to him, he usually reeks of marijuana.

    ReplyDelete
  25. It's Bush's fault. He let Cheney say the F-Bomb first and it was all down hill from there. Remember children, every time you say the F-Bomb a terrorist escapes from Tora Bora.

  26. If you are referring to what was said to maloney, it is apples and oranges. He said it in a normal voice which most of the people in the room DID NOT hear. He said it directly to his face. It was not in the middle of a 30 second cursing tirade where threats were made to another person. He said one curse to the guy who many people think deserved it. ya think?

    There was a call for resignation from that hypocrite rich cahill.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 7 Fucks, 1 shit and 1 ass. 9 curses in 25 seconds.

    Not bad for a Catholic, church going elected official.

    Just another hypocrite.

    ReplyDelete
  28. 629, You seem to make many references to drinking and smoking dope maybe you are so high yourself you have a difficult time interpreting others.

    ReplyDelete
  29. From fellow catholic little dick cahill's blog.....

    On a more personal note, Jim Quigley has shown himself to be a true Catholic gentleman. He has made donations to various causes over the years including, but not limited to, Coleman High School, his old High School alma mater. Anyone who knows Jim will tell you what a man of character he is.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Come on Fat Nicky everyone knows this is you creating the nonsense on all of these blogs right now. Get over it, you lost and you are nobody yet again in life. Let the people that properly operate the town, run it. By the way I guess by all of the weight your carrying around the Police Academy is out of the question.

    ReplyDelete
  31. that was 7 fucks, 1 shit, 1 ass, 9 curses in 25 seconds !!! and your blaming nicky woerner ....we know its not nickys fault, remember, he never returned phone calls....Fucking Jimmy , you should have followed nicky on this one and not returned the call

    ReplyDelete
  32. Maloney very well may have deserved it. But Blaber doesn't???? Are you kidding? What Quigley said was not even said in a public place. It was made public by a loud mouth who is probably kissing up to Nicky for a PR job at Tech City seeing as how he has ruined his own life. I hear Tech City hires has beens. And what does Rich Cahill have to do with it, he is the Republican Jeremy Blaber.

    A very prominent and popular local democratic politician once told me to go F myself over email. You didn't see me taking out space in the newspaper. It was between me and him. I guess that is the difference between being mature and being a loudmouth, grandstanding, jackass, who is to stupid to realize he is being used by his own party and those he thinks are his friends.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hey Fat Nicky looks that that Gastric Bypass surgery or lap band must have failed...any questions just refer to the mirror...

  34. loadmouth, grandstanding, jackass, stupid ....you add arrogant and you have fuck mouth jim quigley !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. BOTTOM LINE QUIGLEY GOT MAD LASHED OUT...OH WELL NO PHYSICAL THREATS, WHO REALLY EVEN CARES, BLABER EARNED THIS ONE. IF QUIGLEY TALKED A BIT FASTER HE COULD HAVE BELTED A FEW MORE CUSSES TOWARDS THESE DOUCHE BAGS...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Jeremy Blaber has some nerve calling Kitchen a pothead! Blaber is addicted to prescription drugs, thats why he got pissed at his mother and threw her wheelchair and was arrested for it last year! True story people, and he is still struggling with his addiction.

    ReplyDelete
  37. wow, I guess since Nicky doesn't have red lights to play with he decided to start playing on this blog. Take a break, have a beer there will still be plenty of room for your bullshit propaganda when you get back.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Bottom line: Quigley is the Town Supervisor, representing the residence of the Town. He is supposed to be professional, whether it was in public or on the telephone.He was not very professional here. You can not defend a telephone conversation such as that by a Town Supervisor.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yo, wasn't there an issue with a computer or a lap tap in Woerner's H.Q. that came up missing and allegedly had child porn on it? I remember it being talked about quite frequenly during the election year his ass was waxed by Quigley.

    ReplyDelete
  40. When dealing with a POMPOUS person such as Blaber, a person can only take so much...Quigley just let everyone know he is a regular guy, and he has a temper...so now they should realize not to mess with this man.

    ReplyDelete
  41. A lot smarter than most of you....October 28, 2010 at 9:33 PM

    When Quigley tells someone to stifle their speech, he has gone too far. On what authority? On top of that, he threatened Blaber and was pretty forceful in his admonition towards Blaber.

    Does Quigley think he can control people because he won one election in a half assed town against a washed up scumbag hack like Woerner?

    There are all kinds of warning signs in that 30 seconds of vitriol.

    ReplyDelete
  42. 9:04 ARE YOU SERIOUS ..."so now they should realize not to mess with this man",,,you have to be kidding ,,,,Quigley hollered the f word a few times at a 22 yr old, over the phone, and he scares people... Quigley is an asshole ...an arrogant asshole...oooh yea ,, he buys friends with his money, can anyone say Ulster Hose ...

    ReplyDelete
  43. It came up missing and had child porn on it? That's funny how could something be missing then be found and not returned to it's owner and they it was discovered it had child porn on it. Give me a break so that whomever has it is in possesion of stolen property. Does Vince Guido and Joe Toscano want to raise their hands and admit to having stolen property?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Quigley should open a new prostitution business, he can call it Ulster Hoes, cause that's what all those guys are they voted for him cause of his money. Jim they liked your brother not you!

    ReplyDelete
  45. 10:03 hope your house never catches on fire...

    ReplyDelete
  46. 10:03 Don't insult the volunteer firefighters of not being smart enough to know W(as)oerner was a jerk in plain English. Not like they were the 1,000 votes he lost by...

    ReplyDelete
  47. So wait a minute, is someone saying Nickie Woerner had kiddie porn? Seriously? That is a lot worse than spewing a few cuss words to a jerk!

    ReplyDelete
  48. First, I'm surprised that he didn't take the Lord's name in vain, Catholics takes the Lord's name in vain and curse more than anyone.
    http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2265352829
    Have you ever listened to Blaber talk? Give me a break, every other word out of his mouth is F F F F F.

    Second, Jim Quigley has been very generous to Jeremy Blaber when no one else would help him. Jeremy is the one that has an anger management problem, and he probably deserved absolutely everything that Jim said to him. Jim's has had an endless amount of patience with Blaber, and it looks like Blaber finally wore out his welcome.

    So Jim cursed at Blaber, who the fuck cares?
    He said what a lot of people feel.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Woerner had kiddie porn? How come no one turned him in?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Clearly the voicemail was left because of a personal disagreement between these two, it had no business being posted to the web, and literally hand delivered to the freeman. I am well aware that Quigley took JB under his wing, when he was in the throes of depression no too long ago...

    To violate personal trust in such fashion is anything but journalistic for the "newsman blogger."

    Jermey, enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, you're done.

    ReplyDelete
  51. 803 am I agree, this angry kid took this out of context and now wants to use this message for his own personal gain.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Today's article in the Freeman says it all. Blaber leaked it to the Freeman. This is all part of some plan probably not thought up by him I would assume. Is Tech City looking for a blog master.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Jim Quigley just stepped in a huge bunch of shit . Now go to his office and you ll probably find Eric, John and Cris cleaning it off. or maybe the guys from ulster hose can hose it off !!

    ReplyDelete
  54. This blog is sooo over, who really cares Quigley cursed Blaber out, big deal. This wanna be journalist should have thicker skin than that, that pimple puss bastard should be able accept someone screaming at him, from word on the street it happens all of the time. This guy never had any father figure in his life, he should have respected the only male figure he had in his life and kept his word about the blog and Quigley wouldn't have had to reprimand this young punk.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Congratulations Matt!

    ReplyDelete
  56. The fact that Quigley stated "I DON'T KNOW YOU" is just an example of himself separating from this DOUCHE-BAG Blaber, Quigley has gone and helped this toolbox on numerous occasions and this ingrate Blaber just continued to bleed him dry. Good for Quigley finally separating himself from this type of person. My understanding is this Blaber never had a father or even father figure until Quigley came along, lets face the facts this guy beats up his very own mother. Whether it be pushing her down a flight of stairs or out of her wheelchair this guy doesn't show respect to anyone that gives a shit about him. I also understand he steals from others that helped him in the past, so be cautious if you ever to allow this character into your life. I also believe he has been involved with placing death threats to other political figures, whom he now chooses to endorse. This guy is a blatant BIPOLAR PATIENT lacking medical treatment. OH YEAH that's right he abuses prescription drugs as well. Maybe the prescription dosage needs to be increased.

  57. 7D 97 whatever happened to the ULSTER

    ReplyDelete
  58. wow 4:32 you really know alot about blaber. but you know what , this isn t about blaber. this is about a town supervisor, a man that is supposed to be a professional. Quigley is a complete asshole. He treats people like shit because he thinks he has money and he can . it will catch up to him real fast, and its starting right now. Quigleys political career is over.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think someone just shoved ULSTER up Quigleys ass !!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. On the contrary 452, Quigley is just starting his political career, however by the end of his first term you can guarantee all of the morons voted out last time won't be back. Every time you turn around these hacks corrupted something. Everything Nick had his hands in should be investigated to the fullest.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Wondering if Ginsberg is rethinking his choice yet. Nothing like hiring someone to be a Government relations person and promptly having an allegation of corruption pop up, involving a little league no less. What decent person would want to deal with him?

    ReplyDelete
  62. You never know. Maybe he followed through on his promise to Ginsberg.

    ReplyDelete
  63. It's on Woerner's other car.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Knowing Jeremy and Jim I don;t think there is much mystery as to why the angry voicemail, jeremy is so 2 faced he can aggrivate a Rabbi like an Iranian with a nuke.
    I seem to remember Jeremy tryig his hand at the school board, I guess he would have all the students in Kingston Consolidated throwing their mothers down the stairs as a Science Project.
    To think this guy believes he has a future in Politics, it must be the prescription drugs.
    Time and time again he betrayed quigley's Friendship, from letting jeremy live in his NYC apartment (rent free) to the thousands of $'s that Quigley threw his way to bail him out of one problem after the next, ( by the way Jim all that money went on drugs, sorry).
    I guess what you get for your friendship is the kick in the butt that this no class no future moron has handed Jim.
    New Paltz had better watch out, if this guy gets elected he'll make Nick's plunder of the TofU look like a kid stealing a nickel form his mothers pocketbook, (By the way Jeremy it's at the bottom of the stairs with your brused and banged up mother).
    I heard the FBI was given Nicky's computer with the porn on it, in fact I'm sure they still have it, I don't think it would have done any good for Don Wise that year anyway, but maybe there is more to this Little league stuff than we know?
    The word on the street is that Nick wants to be Mayor of Kingston, Jeremy wants to be Mayor of New Paltz and Secreto wants to run for T of U supervisor. I think they must be sharing Jeremy;s drugs, someone should check the T of U police evidence locker to see if anything was checked out while Nick was still in office.
    Some of the comments can't understand how Jim could get that angry, they must not know Jeremy all that well. He really is the Master Ass-Hole of his generation. He banked on 15 minutes of Fame, I think he'll wind up with 15 years of Shame!

    ReplyDelete
  65. A few comments bring Nicky boy back in the picture, Look its easy to understand, Ginsberg owed Nicky big time, did you forget about the tax revaluations that reduced Ginsberg's expenses to half of his tax bill, just divide it by a couple of years, (the time between now and when Nicky runs for office again) and you can figure out Nicks salary!
    Kiddie porn? well I don't remember seeing him in the company of women unless it was political anyway.
    Now as far as Quigley is concerned the only mistake he made was not knowing what that sleezbag Blaber would stoop to. BLABERGATE is alot like jeremy himself, FULL OF HOT AIR!
    I only wonder why it took Jim so long to figure out that this guy is as much a user as he is an abuser, drugs, friends, politicians, or for that matter anyone with a dime, blaber will find a way to help you part with it, all for a good cause, his addictions!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Well, Quigleys puppets are back. When you wrote these last two comments were you jerking Quigley off. You guys are obsessed with worner and his people. Why don t you get a life and tell us what Quigley has done ... You cant , he has done absolutely nothing except act like a complete asshole and screw the town up, especially the police dept. It looks like hes bringing back the boys club of the 90"s, Won t be long before the law suits start coming in.

    ReplyDelete
  67. and... lets talk about your scholars you have in there now. Pot head Eric bettter be careful because he was seen making a buy behind his mothers business. and John better find a different place to bring his whores, they re watching you at the trolly on wasington ave. And cris, she just stupid. Now lets not hear about nicky until you clean up your act please

    ReplyDelete
  68. Judging by 8:31 and 8:27 I see that they hooked up the Internet in Nicky's new office and he must be working late.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Snooki or Jeremy Blaber for UC Comptroller. Your choice on the write-in. I think Jeremy deserves it since he does all of Auerbach's dirty work anyway.

  70. sorry 9:40 I dont even know nicky....but i do know the other jokers....

  71. 4:14
    Obviously you have no idea of the financial disaster Nick's Administration was, he went thru a 1.2 million $ reserve fund balance in the 4 years he was in office, he left more unfinished projects around town, ie: the East Kingston Water District, the Water tower and a few others because funds are nowhere to be found, the UPD overtime was way out of control, he manipulated election year property taxes to assist make him look good for re-election, cut deals with his cousin Steve AARON, via the town Attorney Zweben, who by the way billed the town more in legal svc than anyone thought possible, Cut deals for tax revals with tech CIty which has obviously paid off, (ginsberg hired him), he ran the town like it ws his own personal piggy bank. Compared to him, Quigley is a refreshing change, even he were unsuccessful in his two years, he would be a vast improvement for the town and most residents feel the same way, by the way did you know he was voted out better than 2:1, it says something about how he treated his constituents!

    ReplyDelete
  72. my last comment promise...i m not saying nicky woener was any good for the town... but i am saying,,, and this is from personal observation... Quigley is an arrogant ass hole who thinks his shit doesn t stink...and he has know idea on what hes doing and has know idea how to deal with people ...anyone may be better than nicky ,, but certainly not Quigley..just because he has money ,,he thinks he s better then anyone.....he will self destruct,,believe me ......
