Very nice man -- great public servant -- he will make an excellent chief deputy to the sheriff.
Explain your statement. Is the following FACTS indicative of a great public servant? Huh? A guy who STEALS from the taxpayers. A guy who refuses to comment?

POLICE REVIEW TO BE PUBLIC Schenectady disciplinary proceedings will be mostly open, commissioner decides Date: Monday, March 28, 2011
SCHENECTADY -- At the behest of its top cop, the city has done an about-face on the much-anticipated police disciplinary hearings and will open them to the public.
Public Safety Commissioner Wayne Bennett acknowledged Wednesday that the decision by city attorneys to hold the proceedings behind closed doors created an uproar among the public and press.
"I have not been comfortable with the fact that some of the legal advice felt it was too risky" to close the hearing, said Public Safety Commissioner Wayne Bennett. Despite objections from the powerful police union, …..
Lt. Robert Hamilton, president of the Schenectady Police Benevolent Association, did not return a call Wednesday seeking comment on the matter. ….

SCHENECTADY CAN'T AFFORD THIS Date: Wednesday, February 3, 2010
THE ISSUE: The president of the city's police union made more than $100,000 while showing up for duty just three days last year.
THE STAKES: And others might have to make sacrifices?
So here's Schenectady Mayor Brian Stratton, looking at the unenviable choice of raising city property taxes for the first time in five years, reducing services or running up a $12.8 million budget deficit…..The taxpayers who face the possibilities of higher payments or else reduction in services that a substantial deficit might bring should be incensed at the Times Union's disclosure that Lt. Robert Hamilton, the police union president, made $103,566 last year.
That's a six-figure paycheck, understand, for doing actual police work for all of three days. Mr. Hamilton was able to boost his base pay of $70,410 with benefits and perks that included, most blatantly, showing up to work on three days that gave him holiday pay of two and a half times the normal rate. The days were New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day and Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Police union business stops, it seems, on the day that honors the man who saved a bigger Union. ….
"A police officer's first responsibility is to be a police officer," the mayor says, stating the obvious. "It's a continual burr in our side and something we need to bring reform to."
Yes, reform. The rest of the city, the people who work all year, and without holiday pay for Lincoln's birthday, might fairly ask when it's coming....
The most powerful person in city government is supposed to be Brian Stratton, not Robert Hamilton.
Uh, DV, explain how your BS'ing buddy Stratton assert himself? You DO see that BS ALLOWED Hamilton to run roughshod all over him AND ALL OVER THE FINANCIALLY STRUGGLING TAXPYAERS!!!!!!!!!!!

TO PROTECT AND SELF-SERVE Date: Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Mayor Brian Stratton may just have been handed a way to save city taxpayers $100,000 or more. All it would take is to stand up to the police union in negotiations.
That, unfortunately, does not seem to be one of the city's strengths. ...

Robert Hamilton, president of the Schenectady Police Benevolent Association, could pull down nearly $130,000 while showing up for his regularly scheduled shifts on only 12 days in 2008 and for others he chose to work?

Good public servant, DV?????? Refusing to comment? Stealing from the homeonwers by claiming overtime when he was NOT doing police work (well, he was doing work in order to scam the homeonwers, scam the taxpyaers, scam the residents out of their hard heard money and cause taxes to go even higher. Is THAT being a good public servant? Is it DV?????
Please explain how the above is indicative of being a good "public servant," i.e, servant of the TAXPYAER. Well? Can chicken DV explain his comment?
He'll do the yawn and not explain, because he canot illustrate how and what Hamilton has done FOR THE RESIDENTS of the city.
Shall we get some more examples?

Answer the question Mr cheerleader, DV, of how you can justify a police officer getting paid that amount of money plus overtime for working 3 days a year and never mind your smoke screen defense. How can he be hard working when he isn't working???

DV, please explain HOW he is a hard working public servant. HOW, DV, explain it. Or are you too much of a chicken to explain it.
A police officer is a public servant A union president is a servant of the union
Explain DV, how working only three days in a year is being a hard working PUBLIC servant? Explain that DV. Come on, don't be such a chicken. You stated he is a hard working public servant. Explain to us HOW hs serves the PUBLIC when he is sitting home looking to slap grievances. Explain how trying to keep lunatic, gun toting, drug user, drug dealer, wife beating cops on the force indicative of a "good, hard working public servant." Well, DV, explain that!
How is getting paid overtime for work that is not even provable indicative of being a good public servant?
Do you define a good public servant as one who rips off the taxpayers?
And DV, explain how he serves the taxpayers OF THE CITY when he avoids paying city taxes. Explain that DV!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on, DV, I DEFY you to explain HOW a servant of the taxpayers scams the taxapayers by stealing overtime (with no proof of his work) while he refuses to live in the city that he serves? Huh DV????
Just explain HOW he served the public DV. Stop just making a statement. Cite examples of HOW he served the public---the homeonwers, taxpayers and residents of the CITY. Of course, you won't answer this requrest because you have no proof, as usual, DV NEVER provides one shred of proof of the statements he makes.
