FBI Arrests Oswego Mayor on sex charge Gosek jailed. Hearing scheduled in Syracuse federal court this afternoon.
Oswego Mayor John Gosek was arrested Friday evening by the FBI and state police and accused of the federal offense of using a telephone to "persuade, induce, entice and coerce an individual under the age of 18 years to engage in sexual activity," according to a news release from the U.S. attorney of the Northern District of New York.

Oh yes the media is glad to tell us he's a Republican.
Wanna bet that if he was a demon-rat that you'd still be guessing!
Geographically, I mean...
....ANd what party does the mayor belong to?
Remember Harry Chapin's "The Mayor of Candor Lied?" That song always pops into my head when these cases come to light. ;)
About 150 miles apart. Both are college towns, but Oswego isn't like Ithaca.
Who gives a damn which party he belongs to? If he's found guilty it means he's a damn perverted weirdo. Period.
RINO's can be as bad as Democrats but at least we don't try to pass over the guilt when one of ours is wrong. If he did what he's accused of, put him in jail.
What's the problem? It's only about sex.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
I can almost guarantee we'd be guessing...
And then there's the campus...

My brother was stationed in Oswego (USCG). The few times I visited, I was struck with how depressing a place that town is. Parts of "downtown" looked as if nothing had painted or maintained since the '30's.
The story says he's a Republican, if you read the whole thing.
Which makes this article a rare exception to political crime reporting, which can in almost all cases be expected to prominently feature the party affiliation of Republicans caught in misconduct, and to obscure or omit entirely the party affiliation of Democrats similarly situated.

And here is a web page owned by the Mayor's principle detractor, Edward Harrington, who is running for Alderman:

Oswego's main industry is electricity. It has two nuclear and one fossil-fuled power plant nearby.
Ithaca's main industry is the promulgation of left-wing ideology and the utilization of large quantities of imported hand cream.
Interesting comments on that website. Since this is politics, I feel that it's better to let the court decide Gosek's guilt or innocence. People sure don't like him, though...
Ah yess... 'swigy Normal; got my degree there in '64. Any other Freepers remember Buckland's?
