Inherited???? Hmmmm...last I knew he was on the council for years and VOTED FOR all of the contracts. NOW HE HAS INHERITED HIS PROBLEMS???
Go to the source of the problem. A failed Mayor. No business expertise-no military experience. Has the right last name. Mayor's solution? Bring in a "commis". More brass! How is that working? Clifton Park does not have a new "County Force". They rely on State Police and Sheriff's. They also don't have an urban crime and gang explosion.
If they engaged in illegal activities-fire them as the Union attorney advises. Son of Sam wants suburbanites to pay for his mess. First Metrograft to "rehab" Downtown, now another transfer of wealth from your wallet to City coffers. Wake up-too many are going along for another ride.

Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
Who do you think wrote that op-ed piece in Izvestia, signed by Brian Stratton? That is the day's mystery.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Mike-that posting is merely a civil service requirement. Nothing will change unless the Mayor is changed. They have no intention of replacing the failed "Comiss". John Paulino said that the "Commiss" is doing an outstanding job! What would constitute a terrible job? ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Perhaps you are correct. But then why did they post the 'help want ad' that MC posted? Hey...maybe the commish made it know that he intends to beat feet and gave them some notice. Yes?

No, Boss Gardner (lowly civil servant that he is) will write up something as a comeback, in between bouts of hateful, heart-attack inducing rage against anyone who doesn't follow his orders to the letter.

SCHENECTADY COUNTY Voter group calls for study on county police department BY MICHAEL LAMENDOLA Gazette Reporter
The League of Women Voters of Schenectady County is calling on the county Legislature to appoint a nonpartisan committee to study creation of a countywide police department. The league, which made its request in letters to legislators last week, said a nonpartisan committee “should look at a range of solutions that make sense in regard to assuring public safety along with fiscally sound policies. The league would be very willing to serve on such a committee.” County leaders will meet with the league officials Friday to discuss their position. “If you understand the legal issues, you can come to your own conclusions,” County Attorney Chris Gardner said. “There is nothing wrong with studying things. But what led to this was [Mayor Brian U. Stratton’s] concern about discipline. If that is the concern, how do you deal with that? You can also have the unintended consequences of weakening the discipline system out there,” he said. League member Helga A. Schroeter said the league’s position is not to criticize the county but to ask that it look into the issue. “All of us are suffering from higher and higher taxes and it becomes more of a necessity to consider consolidation,” she said. The league’s letter said a study “may offer a creative look at some of the possibilities, keeping in mind that it is ultimately in the best interest of all the county residents to have an effective, trustworthy police force for us all.” League President Joanne Tobiessen said the state League of Women Voters supports consolidation as a way to help save money and provide comprehensive services. “Our letter is in line with league interests in the past. We always encourage studying issues and looking at all sides of the issue,” she said. Stratton, a Democrat, in March proposed consolidation as a way to save money and as a way to solve recurring discipline problems within the city police department. He said state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is interested in helping the city and would try to get a grant for a feasibility study. After Stratton made his announcement, county Legislature Chairwoman Susan Savage, DNiskayuna, and Gardner took the unusual step of issuing a public rebuttal to Stratton’s position, citing legal obstacles. But since taking control of the county Legislature in 2004, Democrats have made consolidation a priority, even going so far as to establish a committee on intergovernmental cooperation. In recent years, the county has taken over maintenance of the city’s vehicles on a fee-for-service basis and has sought similar agreements with other municipalities. It conducted a feasibility study on consolidating dispatch centers and is currently seeking state money to move the process forward. It also is working with the city to consolidate court facilities. At one point, it pursued a proposal to establish centralized police booking. Stratton said he intends to pursue a feasibility study regardless of county opposition. “I am getting our process under way. I am trying to secure a state ..............http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....amp;EntityId=Ar00903

"Working together works" ... that not working anymore?
There is no such thing as a "nonpartisan" committee. Not around here anyhow.

Since when does the LOWV have so much clout? I hardly think they are a non-partisan group. Just follow the dots.....stratton gets support from cuomo and the LOWV follows cuomo's support of consolidation. hmmmmmm....
