<< The Republican Party has historically dominated this town of 41,000 - and
Dutchess County for that matter. Even though Franklin D. Roosevelt lived in
Dutchess County, he never carried the county in four successful runs for
president.
By 1997, Paroli was the GOP chairman for both the county and his town. So
when he was arrested last May 26, it hit like a thunderclap.
Paroli recalled being in his yard, wearing an old flannel shirt and work
pants and sitting on his garden tractor. Looking up, he saw a half-dozen
men walking toward him. They were FBI agents.
Still wearing his work clothes, Paroli was brought before a federal judge
in White Plains. He was accused of controlling the shakedown scheme, as
well as having town workers do electrical and landscaping work on his
property. Prosecutors portray him as an iron-fisted political boss who
ruled by fear to "dominate his party and consequently town government."
Paroli professed his innocence, saying others invoked his name in their
schemes without his knowledge. Believing the federal government was trying
to get him to cut a deal, he said: "I'm not going to allow them to break
me."
Paroli quit as a GOP boss, but held on to his $58,000-a-year job as county
elections commissioner - despite requests from Gov. George Pataki and
others that he step aside. Ever the political mover and shaker, he was
fighting the Feds on one front while waging an unsuccessful battle to undo
an election result that unseated his son as county clerk. >>
Impossible. I've been told on every television channel and my home town
paper that only Democrats (especially Clinton) were the only ones who had
ever committed an immoral act. There must be an error here. Prudy
