THOUGHTS & THINGS

It is my understanding that all City vehicles have to be marked with either City emblem with Saratoga Springs somewhere on the side of the vehicle, or like the Police & Fire cars & trucks the City name spelled out with the exception of Police undercover vehicles.  You may ask yourself, why does the Commissioner of Public Works and his Deputy ride around with the City of Saratoga Springs vehicles with no designation that they are Saratoga city vehicles?  Many people I know see the Deputy at the Mall, Targets, Walmart and they say at clubs during working hours.  If a vehicle is owned by the City then they should be marked as such, unless Skip & Tim are using their own vehicles.

It is now known that both Andrew Jarosh and Ken Ivins will be vying for the County Treasurer’s job which pays around $99,000.00 per year in salary alone.  Saratoga County's cities and towns will be endorsing one of these 2 sometime in the near future.  I predict that Jarosh will get the City of Saratoga’s nod and Ivins will pick up the bulk of the other committees endorsements with John Herrick’s backing. Herrick is not fond of Saratoga Springs candidates as we found out during last year’s election when the County Republican Committee gave hardly any money to boost the chances of Republican candidates.

Ivins has the experience of being the City’s Finance Commissioner and did a good job while in office and should be the front runner.
Jarosh, although young has the benefit of his wife being the Deputy Commissioner of Ivins and now a high level employee of Sonny Bonacio, so money will not be a problem for him.

It will be interesting to see if a primary will be held in September between these 2 or if Ivins is the endorsed candidate will Jarosh accept the position of Chairman of Saratoga Springs Republican Committee?

Is there any truth in the story I heard regarding a pass to not pay for water hookups that a local developer received from the DPW Commissioner to the tune of close to $1 million dollars?  If this is true that means the taxpayers of Saratoga Springs will have to pick up the tab.


We will be checking this out to see if it is indeed true and if it is we will try to FTM.

  1. What does FTM mean? Googleing it results in
    What Is Female to Male (F.T.M.) | The Gender Centre Inc.

    www.gendercentre.org.au/resources/fact.../what-is-female-to-male.htm‎

    F.T.M. is an abbreviation for female-to-male transsexual.

    Is there something you are telling us?

  3. FTM? I would like to think we as taxpayers of Saratoga that Michelle Madigan would be able to follow the money that Skippy didn't require Sonny to pay. Therefore, FTM Michelle, you who as sold herself as the protector of our taxpayer dollars. Tell us, did Skippy or didn't Skippy give Sonny a huge break on our dollar? What say you, Ms. Michelle? Or did Donna convince your otherwise?

  8. Also Captain America you havn't mentioned anything about the housing authority since November 4, If you have some facts about the new person hired being a good friend of the current Director, let us know. There are a lot of questions, who is the new person the mayor appointed to the board? What happended to JK and paying the cost of his FOIL request?

  11. There is an investigation going on now. If inside sources are correct it's not only Sonny but a new development on a free water hook up for a local attorney.
