Running for political office in Saratoga Springs is
anything but predictable. If you get
elected to office as one of the Commissioners you could have the position for
life. This is the only City in America
that has a very hard time having challengers to run for entrenched
politicians. Saratoga Springs has 3
Commissioners that have won at least 5 two year terms and I think only 1 time
each candidate had an opponent.
Again,
this form of government shows why it needs changing if not only to have different
people with various backgrounds run for office but also have transparency in
government.
The two most non transparent offices holders are Madigan
& Scirocco. The citizens should just
ask Madigan just how much this new (free) fiber optic network will cost
citizens and if she says nothing then burn her to the stake. Scirocco doesn’t tell us about any harmful
water problems and just brushes them away with more chlorine to the point that
our once great drinking water could only beat a fish infested swimming pool
water, great going Scirocco.
The Democratic Party will be showing how pitiful they are
if people come forward to primary the 3 dems running in 2019. They are a step above the Republican Party
however who has a disbarred attorney running the show and can’t get a
Republican elected (Scirocco is a RINO and sides with whatever the 4 Democrats
want).
We’ll see how this is played out but don’t expect too
much.
