Hello Bat fans. The run for the money has started in earnest. Looks like Sutton will have her (2) $500.00 per plate dinner fundraisers compliments of Scott Johnson and reportedly by residents of Palacio de Riggi. The Mayor didn’t need the fundraisers as past Republicans did but Sutton’s lack of funds needed to win (about $75,000.00) will be made up by the fundraisers and by Johnson and his out of town attorney groups.
The NYS Funeral Association convention is being held this week in Saratoga and the guest speaker will be none other than our very own Mayor Scott Johnson, it seems that a group of happy funeral home directors were walking downtown one night and passed by Mayor Johnson as he came out of Sperry’s and thought he looked like someone from the Walking Dead, so they just had to have him on the agenda to see if he indeed talks.
The Police of Saratoga Springs, handicapped by former Commissioner Wirth’s layoffs are doing an incredible job in keeping the City in fine shape, is Saratoga Springs without crime?, No. Take a look at national averages though and our crime rates are on the low side of cities throughout the country.
According to the Saratogian:
“Saratoga Springs
The Federal Bureau of Investigation collects crime data from thousands of police agencies across the country, includingSaratoga Springs

I would call that pretty good; as for those of you who want instant up to the minute information on what the Police are up to, one word of advice would be to join the force, why is it that in today’s world we have to know everything that is going on as it happens?
The capital budget has been set and it seems that the Mayor and his aide Shauna Sutton have told residents on the Eastern Plateau that EMS and Fire protection should not be a priority for them. Something has to be done and if it takes a change of leadership in the Mayor’s chair to do it then the Eastern Plateau residents should tuck this info in their mind for Election Day.
City Deputy Public Works Commissioner Tim Cogan said there are intake valves at the water plant that date back to 1871 and need to be replaced. Please, if you could wait just 8 more years, we could have another year of Saratoga 150 festivities for those intake valves.
Remember that the primary’s are coming up soon and it should be a gauge on what the election will bring, so stay tuned and please attend one of those $500.00 a plate fundraisers, I know I will.
Unfortunately Skippy is still the commissioner of dpw, Tim is his deputy & puppet. Hopefully that will change in November. I wish someone would finally make Skippy accountable for his unacceptable commissioner skills. Ask him why his dept. has had so many problems getting the feed back from the park cameras since new cameras were suppose to be purchased. They haven't any idea how to retrieve the film. Ask Skippy where the money is that was given to him to purchase new cameras. Demand an answer, instead of allowing him to play (?) dumb or lie which he does so easily. Make him accountable!
ReplyDeleteAsk Skippy if his other son is still on the public payroll. When he said public in public works he meant it!!!!
ReplyDeleteHis entire family is on the public payroll
Wife- a crossing guard
Both sons work on public payroll One at Saratoga County and the other on the city payroll.
Time to go
