When did Facebook start reading like an OIB thread? When it comes to city politics, anyway. A number of OIB readers and posters got into a battle with former State Rep. Bob Keeley, a candidate for City Council in Tuesday’s Democratic primary. Keeley and Anne Pappas Phillips are challenging party-endorsed Jeanette Herron and Mike DeFilippo in the North End 133rd District. A state judge ordered a new primary after Keeley challenged Herron’s 1-vote lead by a single absentee ballot. So on Tuesday, they’ll do it all over again. But a thread deep into the night began when North End town committee member Steve Auerbach asserted. “Bob Keeley, I am shocked you would write on my time line to suggest I would support you over Jeanette Herron or Mike DeFilippo.”
Here’s a sampling of the thread below. If you want the entire thing see here
Bob Keeley, I am shocked you would write on my time line to suggest I would support you over Jeanette Herron or Chantal DeFilippo Mike Defillipo. I didn’t believe you were a snake like this but you are like they said. A scab that won’t go away. Jeanette Herron Tom McCarthy and the 133rd have my full support. Totlly shocked tht you would go on my time line and make anyone believe I’d be supportng- just for the record. Now I’ll have to stand in front of Blackham with you to prove you are not my candidate – No offense. Jeanette Herron, Tom McCarthy- Kick his ass .
Steven Auerbach Bob I can only imagine you were doing that on my timeline as an act of desperation
Joel Gonzalez Steve go and campaign on the streets Bob asked you to. Campaign for his opponents.
Steven Auerbach Joel have a bad cold- but yes. I should take the time on Tuesday.
Mary Evette Brantley The nerve…Good for you, Steve. Stand for something or fall for anything!
Stephen Krauchick All I know is that whenever I go out at a crime scene or fire in her district there is Jeanette Herron giving assistance and aid to her constitutes. That to me speaks volumes at what kind of a person she is!
Steven Auerbach Stephen Krauchick I agree.
Bob Keeley Whenever…really? I thought Tisdale School employees were supposed to be in their special education classrooms Monday through Friday? Television cameras do not lie…who is with the kids at Tisdale when this para-professional is out with you at crime …
Stephen Krauchick Were you there? No. She doesn’t pose she is there helping.
Marshall Marcus School employees are due a certain amount of personal time per contract. You have no idea whether Jeanette Herron is using such time when out of the classroom on a school day. I have had the pleasure of being in the classroom with Jeanette Herron in the past and the SOARS students at Tisdale are very lucky to have her there.
Bob Keeley Steven, what did the spider say to the fly?
Steven Auerbach not sure what the spider said to the fly- I will say you lied and made a comment on my facebook page. It is an act of desperation and you crossed the line
Joseph Basile Steve is this the way Bridgeport politics is played?
Steven Auerbach Bob Keeley- I do not know what Jeanette Herron agreement is with her school- she has a position- she is expected to be there and I will say whenever she is helping her constituents she is peobably on her own time.
Stephen Krauchick I have never taken a stand with a politician on my website DoingItLocal.com which has 52,000 Likes on Facebook alone. But your bad attitude has changed that. This was your doing. Shows your sense of judgement.
Dollie N Ralphie Fonseca I would vote for Jeanette Herron
The Spider said to the Fly, ” Stick Around!”
What a World Wide Web He Wove!

Little Stevie Auerbach is a clown.
Jimfox, the cycle is broken.
I have no horse in this race, as I live and vote in Trumbull. Two years ago, when the SOARS teacher at Tisdale was serving on a murder jury, I spent three weeks in that classroom with Jeanette Herron. She was meticulous in checking her phone for messages and returning calls during her scheduled breaks and lunch period.

BTW, I think taking screenshots from Facebook and publishing them on OIB without the FB posters’ advance permission is in poor taste.
MM: I humbly disagree. It’s an open platform. If you post you’re toast.
This is Bridgeport, Marshall. Go figure…
My opinion of poor taste has nothing to do with Bridgeport. I don’t hide behind a nom de plume……………
Some people who post on social media think they are only posting for those authorized to read the post. If I had blocked John Doe on FB, I might not be happy if a post was reprinted where he could read it.
In my case, it doesn’t matter…………………….
I don’t hide behind a “nom de plum” either, Marshall. My Name is Derek W. Brown. Everyone else knows this. You must have been standing behind the door when the announcement was made.
Steven Auerbach is a pain in the ass, nothing more nor less. Just a pain in the ass.
When asked what they disliked about The Bridgeport Kid, 100 schoolgirls screamed, he’s a pain in the heinie!
What did they scream about you, “Is it in yet”?
Who in their right mind would vote for a council person who is Mario’s bartender and beholden to him for trying to open up another package store in the city?
I have to wonder what qualifications a bartender employed by the chairman if the Democratic Town Committee will bring to the City Council.
And then the city planning dept. says “My bad. We don’t need rules and regulations about how close they should be to one another or schools or churches or whatever. We’ll change the rules to make Mario’s bartender happy.”
Just what Bridgeport needs, another goddamned liquor store.
@Bridgeport Kid….
My remark was not intended for you, but those who post on FB using assumed names.
The reply only followed your remark to show that it did not apply solely to Bridgeport
My bad, M & M.
@Bridgeport Kid……………..
No apology needed.
BTW> I was in Madison School today and saw the two voting tabulating machines sitting in the stairwell. There was a locked cage of other equipment, but the machines into which ballots are inserted to be scanned and counted were available to be handled by every child who walked by.
It is my opinion that all voting equipment should be under lock and key until set up by the Registrars/moderators on voting day at the polling location.
Intended for moi?
I’m not hiding behind my handle, I’m boasting in front of it!

@Local
I’m referring to FB users who have handles or multiple user accounts under different names. OIB posters have generally been identified
Well, um, uh, er…www.twitter.com/door24

For being a rugged individual and protecting his name, opinions and digital rep, I nominate Steven Auerbach as OIB’s blogger of the day.
Steven Auerbach’s FB page posting here on OIB proves absolutely nothing except that Steve has dildo DTC/Testacrat friends. I think that I’m going go and help to start canvassing the 133rd to get rid of more Testacrats. I am a proud Democrat. The fact the The Bridgeport Democratic Party does not have a functioning website and the only point of contact is the phone number and e-mail of a pizza maker is am embarrassment of everything that defines of what it means to be a “Democrat.”
The Testacrats are not Democrats. They are”what’s it in for me-RATS” and need to be exterminated.
Steven Auerbach should see a psychiatrist, get a prescription for a psychotropic medication to kill the bug that crawked up his ass.
I recommended Steve to the same doctor who removed the “bug” from my ass. Guess where Steven had the doctor transplant the bug.;)
In your nose?

A Bartender / bucket boy will make a superb replacement for Tommy Mac.
He’ll do as he is told and whatever he makes is worth more than his contribution to the cause.
Smith or Spain for CC President.
There can only be One (1) City Council President you fool.
I said Smith OR Spain, you fucking moron. Get to the back of the short bus
“Get to the back of the short bus.”
You better hope Ron Mackey and Donald Day don’t read that.
Take a pill nd get over yourself.
I don’t know how I was tagged in a facebook post that included me in this back and forth, but I wish they’d stop sending me unsolicited comments. I don’t want these political comments and opinions showing up on my page. Facebook to me is a vehicle that keeps me in touch with family, friends, and happy exchanges. If I want to do battle, or give opinions, this is where I want to be. OIB.
Tag, you’re IT.
More interest here than from the voters. I walked by the tabulating machine in Madison School @ 8:30, 15 votes had been cast.
The action’s with the ab ballots Mario’s having delivered to the Town Clerk’s office today. Another investigation!!!!
What dies it take to bring the SEEC down here?
That is beyond the pale! Not suspicious at all. Or, perhaps he is just that good of a citizen.
Wait. This area is not the North End. TheCity Planning Department, after a year-Long study, named it: “Brooklawn/St Vincent”!
Lisa Parziale, I had recently revised the AB Application sign-out list at the Town Clerks Office and I didn’t see Mario Testa’s name at all as having signed out any AB Applications.
