Blind Blogger Blogs Again

One of our own local 'bloggers' sad to say has been ripping into politicians’ and City leaders for years.  He recently wrote a post about Commissioner of Finance being a liar and cheat for reappointing a person to the Civil Service Board which she did have the right to do.  This wife of this gentleman who was reappointed sits on the planning board and she will most likely NOT be reappointed when her term is up this year, there is no conflict of interest as the 2 Boards do not make decisions on the same issues.  Every time a Democrat's seat is up Mayor Johnson appoints a Republican (as is his right).  His boards are now 99% Republican, unheard of before Mayor Johnson took over the padded seat.  Every Mayor prior to the Johnson administration has had at least a small mix of the minority represented on the City Boards.

 John Tighe has called Ms. Madigan among other things, a snake, a liar as well as saying that Saratogian reporter Lucian McCarty knows she is a liar.  Folks, you can't make up these stories.  John has to be on medical marijuana. 

What John forgot to report (lol) is at that same Council meeting, the Mayor awarded a bid to a sign painter for the sum of $10,000.00.  This would be bad enough because the City employees a head painter, but the Deputy Mayor Shauna Sutton's best friend who also works in City Hall is the wife of the contractor who was awarded the contract for painting a sign.

So, on one hand you have a husband and wife on two non conflicting boards appointed by Commissioner Madigan and a $10,000.00 contract awarded by Mayor Johnson to the husband of the Deputy Mayor's best friend who also happens to work with her in City Hall.  As I said before, you cannot make these stories up, either at City hall or on JT's blog.
