The local rag the Saratogain in today’s addition carried a banner headline followed by an article penned by Kim lackey Andrew Bernstein which proudly announced “City Council announces promotions.”
BULLSHIT: Once again Bernstein conspired with his political mentor about how to paint demigod Kim in the most favorable light, the council promoted no one. Ron Kim in the last hours of his reign of terror in city government is passing out promotions and medals like Hitler did in his bunker in April 45. Mind you I am not criticizing his choices but one could make the case that the Public Safety departments are two brass heavy, I am condemning the method he employed. Using absolute authority and consulting no one unless he asked buddy Bernstein to weigh in, he unilaterally in the remaining hours of his job handed out promotions like candy on Halloween. These decisions made by a bitter and unstable man will have ramifications for Public Safety for decades. Ron Kim also said he will hold a swearing-in ceremony for the newly-promoted supervisors at noon Thursday literally in the last twelve hours I’ll be in office. Many will argue he did this to save jobs. Again I say BULLSHIT. Come June when Kim is but a bad memory and there is no million and a half in parking revenue these same people will be laid off AGAIN
RON KIM KNOWS THAT.
If Ron Kim wasn’t so dangerous his antics would be amusing, but remember this is the chief law enforcement officer in the city who threatens opponents in vulgar and crass displays of anger in front of innocent women and children whose only crime is to be in the library when Kim forgot his antipsychotic medication. Well just to give you an idea of his hypocrisy please see this exchange of e-mails in which he encourages Commissioner of Public Works Skip Scirocco to press charges against City Attorney Joe Scala for assault and battery for being hit by an envelope. This would be funny if it wasn’t so sad
Part2
But Kim is running out of time and unless he plans to barricade himself in his office for a last stand, Thursday will be his last Hurrah. Bernstein his pet reporter has also been relegated to covering local badminton tournaments. So see you in the peanut gallery Ron, I’ll save you a spot right next to me. But remember I got a new toy for Christmas a voice recording pen so watch what you say.

Way to go Joe. Tell that pussy Skip to shove his envelopes up his ass.
Claiming to save jobs by spending the difference in monetary gains by retirements is not a saving. Technically, today we're paying for the benefits of four Chiefs. It comes as no surprise that this last minute re-hiring WILL come back to haunt this last ditch effort, designed to support the rank & file -- not the city taxpayer. 2010 can’t come soon enough.

When you get the actual list of names of the employees who got laid off, we would be interested in seeing those names. Or at least the actual numbers -- compared to before the layoffs were announced.
It appears you have some insiders in City Hall who can provide you with this info. (based on the emails that we just viewed)
Keep the faith, love the blog. Did you cash the check yet?
Cops to be laid off
Kurt Nolan
Arianna Richards
Adam French
Jason Cadoret

Gregg Cherry
Larry Baldwin
Connie Brewer
Donald Degan
Shelley Dumas
James Heeney
Dave Saunders
All the part-timers also will be let go.
The intel on these promotions is that Ron Kim promoted Biss to the #2 job as a favor to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. She wanted Biss because he was a loyal Democratic foot soldier in her reelection campaign. He even cut a TV commercial for her (www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4dmGfVPxak).
Wonder what Ron got from Gillibrand in return? Her support on some future bid for office
Lew Benton, administrator of parks, open land and historic preservation laid off.
More casualties
Ed Lewis, president of the Saratoga Springs Police Protective and Benevolent Association voted out of office to be replaced by Sgt. John Catone effective Friday.
Andrew Bernstein placed in charge of Badminton tournament coverage at the Saratogian.
Demroc officially lost his mind.
Love the way you told Scirocco to pick his shit up in the hall.
assault and battery
The combination of two violent crimes: assault (the threat of violence) and battery (physical violence). This legal distinction exists only in jurisdictions that distinguish assault as threatened violence rather than actual violence.
Tighe your the one who should call a lawyer.Kim threatened{assault} you in a public building, call your lawyer and sue the scum. Scala never threatened Scirocco and hitting him was an accident,what Kim did to you was premeditated.
All in good time, my pretty, all in good time
Skippy: Dude, my doctor said I have an enlarged semi-colon from the envelope you stuck up my ass.
Joe: Do you know what that means?
Skippy: No, what?
Joe: It means I role-played PowerMan and IronFist in your ass.
Skip: Oh shit.
Joe: Yeah. You're going to need a semi-colonoscopy.
Skip: I hate asking all these questions, but WHAT is THAT?
Joe: Your doctor is going to get a rabbi to bless your asshole and then stick clamp in your ass to grab the envelope. They will then take a lot of pictures. Then if you
threaten to sue, they will threaten you by saying we’ll give these photos to Tighe so if you do sue, you will have to walk around knowing everyone knows what a dick you are for the rest of your life .
Skip: Oh shit.
Ron Kim lacks the mental stability, character and temperament to ever be an elected official. Hopefully he will go back to being a third rate bankruptcy lawyer. But another part of me hopes he seeks higher office just because he is so much fun to watch.
My brother is a wimp. Just come out and say it, the man is a power hungry Psychopath. My guess his they will need a state police SWAT team to drag him out of the Police Station at midnight.
Well there was some good news Lew Benton finally got canned.Careful drivers I'll be looking for fast cash.
The State Troopers Police Benevolent Association, which represents uniformed officers, said Wednesday its dues-paying membership has declined by almost 300 troopers in the past three years to 2,700, and road patrols are increasingly covering wider areas.
I keep hearing Val Keehn and her merry band of misfits plan to run Val against Tedisco.Please tell me this is true.it will be so funny to have her and her crazy husband to punch around again.
I bet Lew Benton wishes he had that dead fish back on his door step now. I am sure he will be hungry soon!
John, it would be a real hoot if you hired Joe Scala as your attorney to take down Kim. He may even do it Pro Bono.
Demroc was on the layoff list!
Isn't one of those promoted cops part of the attempted arrest of a Pastor?
It is a pretty sorry state of affairs when I have to turn to a piece of shit blog for real news because my local paper and its reporters are nothing but shills for the nut wing of the Democratic Party.
I will take that as a complement I think?
With Lew B gone, we are in real trouble.
Who will count the trees? Who will put out the visitor center sign each morning?
I guess the truth is out, for all to see. His appointment to the no-show job was just a big hug and a thank you for his letter writing and campaign support.
The guy hasn't worked a day in his life, so don't expect him to look for a job in the real world.
I have it from a very good source that Demroc is Donna Buckley. She is little more than a chief letter writer and Blogger for Scirocco
I bet she is that persistent City Hall IP address that keeps popping up on my log. Nothing better to do in City Hall Donna.
Donna Buckley Executive Assistant-Commissioner of Public Works. Fancy name for a political hit women and gofer. I wonder if she helps Skippy with his Christmas balls.

1.not managing his department

HOW ABOUT skippy raising the price of landfill bags from $3 a pop to $4 a pop,doesn't that need council approval,screwroccos'biggest campaign contributor was none other than county wide refuse,sounds like the rate increase will benefit county wide because if there's no savings for the taxpayer to buy the landfill bags,the homeowner might go to a private contractor like county wide,sounds like a plan to me....and you thing skippy is dumb.....he's not dumb he's just taking care of his contributors at the taxpayers expense;just look what he's done for the unions..get the picture.
Demroc is a MAN,BABY! Donna Buckley is more likely to be Mamie. So searching for a rainbow mentioned Demroc on the layoff list above. Failed to mention male or female. What we need to do is check his complaining levels. He seems to be tied to Keehn group and Scirrocco. Buckley was not tied to Keehn at all.
Johnny,
Did you kiss the Blarney Stone when you went to Ireland? Did you read the difference between blarney and baloney? Did you drive the road from Dingle to Killarney?
You critique the way of life in Saratoga but think Ireland was Charming. What Gives.
Johnny is off today and Anus Magillicutty is in charge. I have the passwords and the key so go fuck yourself.
I used to pound Scotch with Johnny Boy! Angus Magillicutty couldn't hold a candle to Gus O'Conner so go fuck yourself!
everybody knows Lou Benton is dem roc,you can tell by the twich.
Could it be true?
No Kim
No Keehn
No Finneran
No Benton
Oh happy day when we were free Oh happy day really free OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!
When you flush your toilet today just imagine all Kim’s psychotic dreams of power going down the drain.
Scirocco's next
It is noon. Tears of joy run down my cheeks as I sit here knowing that across town, Ron Kim is being REMOVED from the council officially.
WOW!
What a great start to the new year.
(I would have gone to see it in person, but I feared for my life)
So, no new posting since the new appointment to PS??? No big surprise, but it will be the first time we have two "Skips" in City Hall.
And that also means:
NO Finngernan
NO Lewie Benton
JT
Go have a bloody mary and give us a new post.
Mark is going nuts on his blog, he's been outed but denies it.
