Stratton a good Clinton successor

First published in print: Monday, January 12, 2009

I do hope that Governor Paterson is considering Schenectady Mayor Brian U. Stratton to fill the Senate seat of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
     
To some this may be quite a leap, but consider:

Stratton has a well-respected name in politics and his own history of legislative and executive public service.

He and his highly capable, well-selected assistants turned Schenectady around from a bankrupt city to a more thriving community.

He is from upstate. His selection would break the perception that the governor favors downstaters.

His selection would remove the specter of political gadflies.

Thanks I needed a laugh. Re: "more thriving community"-YES! For criminals, Bethesda House, moving companies and bankruptcy attorneys. Mr. T is bucking for a no show City Hall post. He would be perfect since he does not live in the City.

     Give me our gadfly any day over this "leader" whose only concern is raising taxes on an oppressed populace and hiking his own inflated salary and benes.

Mayor BS for U.S. Senate.  I have to have some bumper stickers printed.

The letter from Mr. Trachtenberg must have been written as an attempt at humor.

Fred Dicker was discussing this letter this morning on his radio show on WGDJ 1300.  He reported that a listener
relayed to him that the message forums were lively with discussion on this topic and criticism at the suggestion.

Was that a "fat joke?" Or am I missing something.

Hey...if it gets him out of Schenectady.

I wonder if this guy sent this into the gazette too. Perhaps the gazette knew that the people of the city would have thought it was a mistake and should have been placed in the comic section!!!
