We would like to clarify something about yesterday's post. Us thinks we mostly right with clearness and with concision. Perhaps not.
For some unknown reason, some think we took a swipe at Ms. Kurzejeski yesterday, and Madden by implication, by noting that she does not seem overly partisan. Au contraire and to the contrary.
The fact that Kurzejeski and Glasheen do not come out of the often bitter, brawling, gutter world of Troy politics is a positive and we are excited to see the results. It is a fresh approach and we hope it works.
We do worry that we will misspell her name, but we can live with that stress. The point, however, still needs to be made: while citizens everywhere insist they dislike partisanship and desire clean politics, dirty politics still works.
We did hear some funny news yesterday that could change the entire landscape of Troy politics.
Apparently, the City Council (note, City Council) has an office. However, the new Council President has made it her office and will not allow other Council members to utilize the space. Ms. Mantello has the key and keeps it locked. Funny, yet petty. Former Council President Wiltshire did not do the same as it is the Council office, not the Council President's office. A minor but telling act.
On the plus side, Council President Mantello is making a concerted effort to have the Council Chamber painted. Until that is achieved, we don't see a way forward for the City. We're thinking an off-white (no offense) or a soothing mauve.
Now get out of here and hey, lets be careful out there.
If there weren't term limits Harry would still be mayor and we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.
ReplyDeleteHarry ran citywide for a leg seat twice after his term ended. He got trounced both times. It's safe to say the voters in Troy have had enough of him.
DeleteTerm limits were instituted by the Republicans to get rid of Pattison because they couldn't beat him.
DeleteNo-not true. Term limits were voted into place when Mark was first elected. He, along with council president Walsh attempted to overturn them by council resolution. And that's a fact.
DeleteLet Queen Tut try to run again, he will be ripped apart like he was when he tried to keep the legislature job he was handed! The book is out on the cheeseburger whisperer, he will never win again
Delete8:23 you really are delusional! People are licking their chops waiting for Tut to run again, he will be ripped apart!

DeleteShe is super annoying. One term carm and we are only 2 months in.
ReplyDeleteDoes she have a job other then council?
Since when do council presidents go to ribbon cutting ceremonies? She needs to get a life
DeleteDamn auto correct. Harry, not Have.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing in the charter preventing Harry from running for Mayor again. If Mark can be termed out and run again, so can Harry.
ReplyDeleteIf Harry ran for mayor he'd win. People love him. That's a fact jack !~~!
ReplyDeleteLook for the 3rd city official to come from the Charter review committee. Monica set that all up. Perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWhy would other council members allow her to take over their office? I wouldn't. Someone needs to check k this woman's power trip fast
ReplyDeleteNo truth to this insane rumor. Although with her, you never know.
Delete3rd and 4th. The comptroller and the OGS commissioner will both come from the charter review committee.
