The "Mr. Floatie Mobile", a 1939 Chevy Delux with decals of Mr. Floatie used by Ray Tartaglione to bring attention to alleged misdeeds and pollution on Rye's Hen Island, has been vandalized and looks like cr*p. The car was vandalized while parked across from the Rye Nature Center entrance and in front of the Resurrection Church. Seeing the car around town has perturbed various residents.
"It's not like this was the first time my home or property has been vandalized. This type of intimidation has been going on since I first started exposing the Hen Island community for Health safety and pollution issues," Tartaglione told MyRye.com. "The Hen Islanders are trying to flex their (mussels) with intimidation tactics. Only problem is they don't realize they have a tiger by the tail that isn't intimidated. The more pressure they try to exert the worse it becomes for them and the more attention it brings to the cause."
The police report describes the reportedly over $4,000 in damages:
"On the above date and time, Ray Tartaglione, the complainant, walked into Police HQ to report that his 1938 Chevy Delux was vandalized sometime overnight while parked on the northbound side of the Boston Post Rd, in the vicinity of the Rye Nature Center entrance. Complainant reports two broken windows, damaged signs and decals, and key/scratch marks on both sides of the vehicle and in the rear area."

Scooter,
First off, the Declaration of Independence was about life liberty and the PUSUIT OF HAPPINESS. Gates dug a drywell ON HIS PROPERTY because it made him happy. I rest my case.
Gotta love Doug French in charge of the new field in Rye. That's fiscal responsibility for ya. Why don't we just build a dome. Money is no object for these communists disguising themselves as Republicans.

Captain America, you've been sniffing your shorts again.
Mayor Otis protects rights? Sure, unless you happen to be Henry King, Bob Schubert, Mary Jurs, Gwen Hughes, all of Indian Village, Paul Shew, Julia Novak and countless others he's royally screwed over the years.
The 4th of July is about INDEPENDENCE and FREEDOM, and here's hoping next year we can celebrate a Rye FREE and INDEPENDENT of Otis and his kind.

Happy 4th of July. God Bless America and God bless Mayor Otis and the Town Coucil. They are true patriots! Of course that doesn't include Joe "Special investigation to water down your personal property rights" Sack.

Is Mayor Otis Rye's Captain America? Remember when you celebrating the 4th what this country was built on. RIGHTS. Rights that Joe Sack and the new Republican candidates want to water down in favor of environmental terrorism. Remember that on Sat. when your watching the fireworks and remember that when you go to the polls in Nov. PERSONAL RIGHTS. The RIGHT to PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY/ASSETS. so that is the choice. Unalienable personal rights or Joe Sack and the republican's version of the USSR.

Please keep the Pres of Heal the Harbor away from my friends. The Sound is very clean except when that 2-cycle engine that belongs to the Pres. of Heal the Harbor cruises by.

Now that the Pres. of Heal the Harbor has admitted that composting toilets are a viable option on Hen Island, why hasn't he installed one? How about getting rid of the 2-cycle on the back of your boat? Are you still polluting the Sound? How can you say you're healing the harbor when you're doing your best to destroy it?
