Horse's Head Dumped In Upstate (N.Y>) Councilwoman's Pool
wnbc.com ^ | July 25, 2006

Posted on 07/25/2006 8:09:10 PM PDT by lunarbicep

An upstate councilwoman found a severed horse's head in her swimming pool on Tuesday, state police said.

Wawayanda Councilwoman Gail Soro and her husband had used the pool Monday night and the head was not in the water at that time.

"There have been some prior instances of harassment directed toward her, more than likely as a result of her position on the Town Board," said Lt. Pierce Gallagher. "We're looking at a threat as a possible angle. Certainly, we can't rule that out."

The horse appeared to be dead for "three to four days, probably no more than a week," Gallagher said.

One of the most famous scenes in "The Godfather" showed a movie mogul waking up with a horse head in his bed after he refused to bow to the will of the title character, played by Marlon Brando.

Wawayanda is 106 miles southwest of Albany.

Gail Soro is a Democrat - for what it's worth.

Better than having a horse's ass in your Senate.

Some more information that may shed some light here......

Gails Gotta Go! - BLOG

The purpose of this Blog is to follow the rants and antics of Councilwoman Gail Soro until the 2007 election period. We hope that there is enough computer memory and new Limo-gate rides to last until then.

As we last left Ms Soro, She had seen the defeat of the entire Democrat slate, "F" Dan Myers, Carole Hurst and Wayne Skinner, by The Wawayanda Republicans - led by John Razzano!

The faces and sneers are one thing but the comments the residents of the town " you just come to the meetings because the Republicans liquor and drug you up afterwards " are quite another!

Face it Gail, your slate of candidates lost and now you have to face the fact that your lies and intimidation do not work!

Oh, I get it ... the instructions said in the bed, they thought they heard Ted, and immediately thought water.

Journalist: "When was the last time you used the pool?"
Soro: "Monday night."
Journalist: "And was the horse head in the water then?"
Soro: (Looking at reporter in disbelief) "Uhm...no, it was not."

More antics by Waywayanda pols. They're pretty dang funny.

Critics target supervisor April 28, 2005

Voters resist new tax hikes November 04, 2005

Accusations, bickering, all in a day's work in Wawayanda January 15, 2004

Wawayanda bickers while it works December 09, 2004

Yes, it is political. The new Wawayanda supervisor is pitted against a board member from the last administration in the wake of a messy, mudslinging campaign.

It's also partisan. The supervisor is a Democrat. The former administration was Republican.

And it's personal, since the board member in question, David Cole, was deputy supervisor in the last government and is married to Skinner's ex-wife.

Maybe they just didn't notice it.
