Horatio:
I guess the first issue is that we have no documentation that the development at Regatta is the source of the homeowner's water problems. I do not dismiss this allegation but we have no idea to what extent the lack of science has contributed to the reticense of the homeowners to sue. It would be helpful to know what the basis of the claim is.
As you note, the homeowner indicated that he was not going to pursue litigation. There is no reason based upon the available information that we should not take him at his word.
In fact, if there was a potential liability, then there is no reason that Scirocco could not have used this as his argument when he approached the council. Since he was not responsible for the original decision he would have nothing to lose. More important, the council could consult with attornies to determine to what extent the city had a real liability.
As regards the timing, the construction work on this project started only about a week and a half ago which explains the timing.
This kind of indifference to public malfeance is disheartening. Allowing Scirocco to provide favors at great expense to the city and to ineptly attempt to cover this up is a very bad precedent. It sets a very low bar for people who are elected in terms of lying, abuse of office, and favortism.

If it wasn't enough to politicize issues in order to get elected in the first place and then "shift" with the winds depending on who he was talking with, how can those whose were so critical of the previous DPW Commissioner now support someone who has dirty hands? Look into the mirror people. Ed Miller offers the PWD management skills missing from that department.
One only needs to drive out 9P and look over the dig path and location of the last hydrant to see the truth. The person in the DPW that authorized this installation did not follow established protocol that defined how the cost of this project was to be paid.
Also I don't recall a study, looking for artifacts in this dig path.
Scirocco because of his electd position as Commissioner of Public Works is responsible. He should be made to reimburse the total cost of this project to Saratoga Springs.
There are so many more intelligent people in Saratoga that could be commissioner, why in the world did they pick Sirocco? We have lost so much since him and Ivins have teamed up along with Johnson. Also with a woman really runnig the city behind the scenes, we have had nothing. When are the people of the city going to wake up and do something about it. We need help from some intelligent people before we go under completely
With so many more intelligent people in Saratoga, why in the world did we wind up with Scirrocco as Commissioner. He knows nothing unless the woman ib his office tells him it is true. We have lost so much since Ivins and him have teamed up. Why doesn't the peop;e fo the city of Saratoga Springs, do something about it?
