Suffolk County Republican MISLEADER John J. LaValle comes to Smithtown -
On April 8, 2015 Councilman Ed Wehrheim held a fundraiser at the Watermill Caterers* in Smithtown. Mr. Wehrheim’s friends, family and allies attended showing their support for Councilman Wehrheim as he readies himself for his 2015 campaign for Town Councilman. Kudos to Mr. Wehrheim. The kumbaya moment included support for Councilman Creighton and Deanna Varricchio (Receiver of Taxes).
Enter into the picture John J. LaValle, Chairman of the Suffolk County Republican Committee, AKA the Republican MISLEADER. LaValle came to the fundraiser in his official capacity as the benevolent leader of Suffolk County Republicans showing support for his buds Wehrheim & Creighton.
Mr. LaValle earned his MISLEADER title due to the blatently erroneous emails he sent to County Republicans in the 2013 Primary. In the emails LaValle misrepresented who Smithtown’s Republicans designated as candidates in the Smithtown Republican Convention. In his email the MISLEADER replaced designated party candidate Patrick R. Vecchio with Councilman Robert Creighton and left off party designee Thomas McCarthy, mentioning only Kevin Malloy despite both being party designees.
Smithtown Republicans didn’t buy into the LaValle email. They voted for Vecchio, McCarthy and Nowick who ousted party designee Malloy. Republicans voted against their party’s designee for legislator.
The result in 2013 was Team Vecchio won and Team LaValle lost.
Message to Councilman Wehrheim, people have short memories when it comes to accomplishments but long memories when it comes to deceiving them.
