A former mayor of Medina, who moved to Batavia about a year ago, has been tabbed by the City GOP to take over a vacant seat on the Batavia City Council.
If confirmed by the council, Adam Tabelski will fill the council-at-large seat vacated by John Deleo, who was elected last month to the County Legislature.
Tabelski's LinkedIn profile says he is currently employed at WENDEL Companies in Williamsville as an account manager.
He was communications director for Sen. George Maziarz from 2002 to 2014. He also served in the Army National Guard for six years.
Tabelski was mayor in Medina from April 2008 to Sept. 2011. He has a master's degree from SUNY Albany in History and a bachelor's degree from SUNY Geneseo.
When a seat is vacated on the council, the political party of the departing council member selects the nominee to replace that member. The council must confirm the nominee, but usually goes along with the party's selection.
The vote will be held at the council's organizational meeting Jan. 4.
Sources told WBTA, The Batavian's news partner, that four people sought support to fill the vacant position.
RED FLAG!!! This guy worked
RED FLAG!!! This guy worked for former NYS Senator George Maziarz who is still under Federal investigation for campaign finance fraud. WTH is wrong with the GOP in Genesee County for even considering someone with this sort of past affiliation???

Everything Graz, everything. And is there no DEMOCRAT or ANARCHIST in Batavia who is worthwhile? Will someone who hates Ronald Reagan as much as I do (much less now that he is dead) step up to the plate. please? Oh yeah, Merry Christmas if you believe in that crap.
If I ever return to Batavia
If I ever return to Batavia you will see my name on the ballot of every paid elected position in Genesee County until I score a sweet gig. I hate Republicans but easy money is the nuts and I can lie with a poker face. "We won't have to make Batavia great again, it's already great. Get the hell out of here." Vote for me for a good paying gig.
