According to Peg Roberts, leader of the local Main Street Patriots group, “Recent events have raised concern over corruption, collusion, and control in Utica city government.”

“Entrenched politicians, a talk-show host, and news media seem to have banded together to stand in direct opposition to what we perceived as the will of “We The People,” she added.

“Our patriotic desire for truth, justice, and freedom prompted us to contact the RoboCent national polling agency to request an independent survey to determine if we are really mistaken, or if the People are being duped, lied to, misled, dishonored, and silenced,” Roberts said.
