JUST A FEW NEWS TIDBITS I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON.

With the track opened, real information is pretty slow and well, Scott Johnson and Shauna Sutton must be in Miami getting a tan or something.

It looks like if and when the new ‘coming to your neighborhood Bonacio Theater’ happens, we will have to pay twice to see a movie.  Once for the admission and again to cover the tax break (someone has to pay for it).  Saratoga Springs just seems to get a bit crazier by the day but that’s the trade off for living in the greatest City in the world or so some people say.

Marylou Whitney and her husband John have given exclusive rights to sell the Marylou Whitney Rose, Yankee Candle to Saratoga Hospital.  Oh yes, there is joy in Mudville.  There is also a rumor that a statue of Marylou will be erected in Congress Park and that people can go there to light a candle, kneel and watch a video of her entrances from her various past galas with commentary from Michelle Riggi.  City officials are hoping that the heat and scent from the candles will heat the public restrooms and make them smell like a Marylou Whitney rose.  Her husband John will appear at the Spring Grand Opening of the public toilets (Skip Scirocco and Mayor Johnson cut the ribbon this year, no pun intended).

Saratoga also has a new fish market and brewery opening, so Broadway will now start smelling more like NYC for the benefit of those moving here that want to change Saratoga into a mini New York City.  You know the cast of characters, they are the usual suspects.

I see that a local out of town blogger, ‘he who shall not be named’ because he still thinks he lives here and is well a brazil nut, is using my (yes, your Captain’s) story lines on his blog.  Must be when they kicked him out of SPAC he doesn’t know what to write about.  We all know him; he is in bed with Mayor Scott Johnson, Esq., attorney for midgets.

I would like an answer to a question.  I ask this because I know my readers will give me a clean and honest answer and I would like you to respond.

Do you think Saratoga Springs should put a moratorium on building for a period of time on new building, including anything that is on the books for immediate expansion?  Again, I would appreciate your comments.

SARATOGA SPRINGS GREAT NON PROFITS AND IT'S 1 IDIOT

When you look at the good work non-profits do in Saratoga Springs you have to appreciate all the hard work that is done by the volunteers and the paid Director’s and support staff.

We have the unfortunate miserable luck to have in our area a blogger that is so hateful and acidic that we all should be ashamed to even say hello to this idiot.  I don’t mention his name not because I shouldn’t but because hardly anyone reads his blog and I wouldn’t want you to even bother to go and take a look at it.  He writes hate filled articles, then comments anonymously about his own article.  If you happen to be involved as an unpaid volunteer, drink a cup of coffee with your left hand, in need of a hair cut or any other of about 1,000 things, he will find a way to start to attack you (I have never been on his hit list, so this is not pay back).

This ‘blogger’ is now degrading every non profit director who makes a salary for doing their job.  He has gone after the YMCA, Saratoga Bridges, and SPAC and will be starting on the Hospital and Prevention Council next, according to his hit list.

It is hard to understand why this guy is filled with so much hate.  Everyone can complain (even I, your Captain does), but this guy takes the cake.  He has been out of work because of a ‘disability’ from the City for years, collecting a fat check every month that comes from OUR money and he demands that Director’s of non profits are “overpaid leeches”.  If he only sat in the chair of a Director for 1 week he still would not be able to comprehend all the work and extra time that goes into the job.

So non profits, we want to take the time to say thank you for all of your dedication and hard work, our City is in the hands of some terrific people.
