NEWS BITES

Thought we'd pass on a few well-founded rumors for you to chew, or choke, on before the long weekend.


POLICE DEPARTMENT NEWS

The Troy Polloi has learned that the Tutunjian Administration has requested and received a copy of every police Internal Affairs file. Why? We're not sure. Our guess is that someone wants ammunition to force someone out of the department.

The big question is: Is this even legal? We can see a reason to request a file. Requesting and receiving all IA files doesn't smell right, especially for those who were cleared of any wrongdoing. Someone's gone fishin'.


LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT


The Troy City Council will name Vic DeBonis it's Legislative Assistant. A brilliant move. The Council will no longer have to create a seperate Council Counsel position. They'll also have someone on the payroll that can draft Article 78 petitions when the Administration fails to do what it's supposed to do. Neat.

DeBonis ran unsuccesfully against Mark Wojcik for 1st District Council seat. Now he'll have more power and influence than the man who won that race.


HOLIDAY ACTIVITY
