County Clerk challenger Tom Hasman had a strong performance at his WHAM13 debate with incumbant Cheryl Dinolfo. Here he is, answering the charge that he was “just playing politics” after the news broke that Social Security Numbers were found exposed on the Clerk’s website: More clips later.

A News8 article interviewing Dinolfo in 2006 indicated that she knew the Social Security Numbers were on the county website. Tom Hasman asks the Clerk why she knew about the SSNs on the website for at least a year before starting to do anything about it. As a bonus question, he asks why she re-invented the [...]

When we first interviewed Tom Hasman, shortly after he announced his run for the Clerk’s office, we thought he was a solid candidate. A little rough around the edges, maybe, but smart, informed, capable, and right on all the issues. He’s still the same solid candidate, but I look at this video he did for WXXI, [...]

Did anyone see the debate between Tom Hasman and incumbent clerk Dinolfo on WHAM 13? It’s an interesting example of what happens when you speak truth to power. Reader Monroe Dem has an interesting psychological take on it: I watched the debate video on his website. She’s really a poor actor. You can see that she [...]

Some of Tom Hasman’s fans put together this video. It’s kind of a low-key bio piece, with no voice, just images and music. Kind of cool:

From a (very talented) fan of Tom Hasman. This is a fun “flash” game where you’re Tom “Hammer” Hasman, helping get rid of Social Security Numbers on the Clerk’s website, while the current clerk (I think it’s her, anyway) tries to get into the picture for another photo op: Help Cheryl Find the Social Security Numbers [...]

City News is taking a pass on endorsing anyone in the County Clerks race. I’m, frankly, surprised that City Newspaper has not seen it’s way clear to endorse Tom Hasman for county clerk. I don’t understand this in view of the serious nature of private information (social security numbers) remaining on the county’s website. This is [...]
