More from Hasman - Dinolfo is lying

Tom Hasman: Dinolfo Is Lying To You
Social Security Numbers Remain available to Potential ID Theft.
Rochester, New York – September 22, 2008. Democratic and Working Families Party Candidate for Monroe County Clerk Tom Hasman is again calling on Clerk Dinolfo to take down her online document database until sensitive information, such as social security numbers, can be completely removed.
“The Clerk has claimed she has completed a review to remove Social Security Numbers from the clerk’s website. This is not the case. My quick search today has found more social security numbers in several document categories. The fact that she would claim that her work is done when I located several numbers in just a few minutes is extremely disturbing to me” Hasman said.
“If Clerk Dinolfo is truly this misguided in her assessment of this problem, I think it begs a larger question to the level of her competency. We have repeatedly brought this to her attention and for more than 45 days she has chosen to leave citizen information exposed. This is a dereliction of one of the core duties of her office and needs to be addressed as such. Monroe County citizens deserve a Clerk who will be proactive in protecting their private data. We deserve a competent, independent leader who can offer solutions to our challenges, not claim a false victory as the Clerk has done,” Hasman said.
With regards to Ms Dinolfo, choose one - lying or incompetent?
The question is, do you want your Social Security number on a government website? Is the government suppose to do things like protect us?
Does Cheryl Dinolfo know how to protect our identity or simply how to protect hers?

She’s both - incompetent and a liar.
Well done Hasman. You’ve got my vote - talk about making a total fool out of herself…
“I took away all the big bad data on my website…ooops, except for that, and that, and that there, and that…damn you Hasman!
I liked one of the comments on the D&C today that said he was using this for political gain. No shit. He IS running against her after all.
I picked up my Tom Hasman lawn sign last night and it will be going up this evening.
Did anyone notice the headline in today’s D and C (Tuesday) No mention of Hasman’s challenge only that Dinolfo had wiped out numbers.
This was really biased on the part of the d and c.
I read recently on a greece blog that d and c managing editor Karen Magnuson is a Greece Resident and a strong support of the Greece Chamber of (big) commerce. Dinolfo is a Greece crony.
Need I say more.
I’d like to have some investigation of Magnuson. Does the D and C have an ombudsman like other papers sometimes do? Many of us on the West Side think criticism of town leaders is routinely suppressed.
Does this sound like “Mission Accomplished” to anyone?? Just by saying that the SS#s have been removed, doesn’t make it so. Just like standing on an aircraft carrier in a flight suit and stating “Mission Accomplished” doesn’t make it so.
Am I beating a metaphor?
Good job, Tom! Onto November!!
As much as I love Peter Pan, it sounds like the part where Tinkerbell is dying and Peter says, ” we can save her if you believe, clap your hands if you believe in faries, Oh, you do believe-now she’s all well!”
If we believe, then the SS#s will just magically be gone.
(albiet, your metaphor is much more political in nature)
I was highly amused that 13WHAM reported this last night, with film of Dinolfo saying the #s had been removed and then the reporter had to add that Dinolfo’s folks say that Hasman should have notified THEM that they had been removed, through the link provided on their web site.
THEY were the ones that took it public, making a big to-do about them being removed. Hasman, I believe, should have publicly refuted that because it goes a lot toward proving that Dinolfo does not give a rat’s patoot about the security of personal information.
Unless, of course, it’s her own.
