TABLE SCRAPS

CRAWLEY MOVING ON?

Rumor has it that Deputy Mayor Dan Crawley will be moving over to the Troy Housing Authority. As for his replacement? Rumor has it that the new Deputy Mayor might be Jeff Buell, the current press secretary.

That, anyway, was the rumor last Friday, at City Hall, when some mentioned a press conference was imminent. It was all nonsense and some say it was just an experiment to see how fast a rumor would reach the 4th Estate. The rumor did reach the press rather quickly.

Franco has more details on the hijinx in today's Talespin (not available on-line).

SECOND GRADERS USED AS SLAVE LABOR AT CITY HALL

As part of the new Non-Rep Employee policy, a group of School 16 Second- Graders were forced to decorate and then serve pastries to City Hall employees. Later, they were shown how to fill-out absentee ballots.


COUNTY BUDGET

And on the County side of things, the legislature will be meeting on Monday to discuss our annual tax increase. It looks like Troy's GOP aren't the only ones that know how to take care of themselves. Of course, the GOP blames Spitzer. Although, we seem to recall GOP tax hikes and pay raises before Spitzer took office.

CANDIDATE BLOGGING

Otherwise known as Clogging. Former Democratic mayoral candidate James Conroy will continue to blog about Troy. In the interests of fairness, here's a link to Harry's blog.



FINAL NUMBERS

For those interested in the final election results, here are the numbers that will be certified in a few weeks.

Tomorrow, per request, we'll begin our multi-series posts on Judge Robert Jacon, YouTube and the Jones case.
