Deputy Mayor Sutton Repays Favor?

 Much was made of the fact that at Tuesday's Council meeting Commissioner of Finance Michelle Madigan reappointed Rob Mains to the Civil Service Commission.  Rob is the husband of Amy Durland who is a member of the Planning Board and now the sole Democrat holding a seat on that Board.  With no conflict of interest, the Mayor said Tuesday night the Mayor questioned Madigan about her motivations or if she “had been put up to it”.  The story here is that the Mayor had promised a contract to paint a sign at the City's Recreation Center.  The painter that got the $10,000.00 contract is the husband of Shauna Sutton’s best friend who also happens to work with Shauna, who happens to be the Deputy Mayor.  Oh, by the way, the City employees a head painter who could have done the job.  This is a glaring conflict of interest which the Mayor had not one comment about when the contract came up for a vote.  Maybe the gentleman who was awarded the $10,000.00 painted the houses of Scott Johnson and Shauna Sutton.  The more you dig the more rot you uncover.

Tighe Misses Another Big Story

Hi all, from Captain America:

Well once again our super sleuth detective blogger John Tighe has missed out on another big story in his beloved Saratoga Springs (he lives in Milton).  Telling the world how someone 'donated' seats to Yanni's performance at SPAC and someone 'donated' a one year patron's pass that allows him free food and open bar, he has the nerve to slam some of the patrons that actually bought and paid for their own patron pass.  John was seen stuffing his wife's pocketbook with 'pigs in a blanket' and mustard sauce to go along with them.

Now here is the story that none of his sources gave him any information about but gave every other local blogger.  The City has not received a building permit for the Woodlawn garage project.  It is a law that a permit be in plain site to be seen by all.  When Saratoga's blogger 'Citizen Nancy's, Nancy Muldoon asked the crew chief at the site if the City had to get a permit (again, a law that the City must follow for any remodeling or new building of any City owned property, he "Yes, we work for the city and the city is supposed to have a permit." I then asked him where I could get the permit and he quipped, "Ask the Mayor for one."  So she travels to City Hall and goes into the Building Dept. and asks to see a copy of the permit and is told that she would have to FOIL to look at it (there isn't one), then the office worker said she is not supposed to answer any questions from anyone.



John Tighe, Milton's Super Sleuth Being Programmed By Scott Johnson



It seems like our King, I mean Mayor who is a puppet of Remiga Foy and friends thinks he is beyond the law in performing his job duties.  This has been his method of operation for 5 years.  He is following Remiga's Law 'if it ain't done my way, hit the highway'.
