Brent Wilkes the $100,000 man.

Well I thought I’ve heard it all then I received this in the mail.

Consider Becoming a "Friend of Brent Wilkes"

"An effective campaign for mayor will cost approximately $100,000. Your contribution of $1000, $500, $100, or whatever you can give, can make the difference between success and failure.You can make a donation to my campaign by clicking on the DONATE link via paypal on my web site."

You have got to be shitting me 100 fucking K, for a job that pays 14K.

So Brent got around to filing his Campaign Financial Disclosure 6 days late so let’s see how Mr.Bowtie is doing.

Scott was a small kid growing up in Public housing in the sixties. Not exactly a silver spoon childhood. I do understand how some of our new wealthy transplants who have lived here for 20 minutes would resent a
“Local Poor boy makes good story”
And Wilkes has such a cute Kennedy like Boston accent.
Fact
Scott won a Hawley home merit based scholarship”
Fact
Scott donates his entire salary to the Hawley home Scholarship so another child can benefit like he did
Fact
Scott was an Attorney hired by the State Of New York to take on big tobacco, he didn’t work for tobacco. He recovered BILLIONS for the State.

Scott was a small kid growing up in Public housing in the sixties. By 2010, he was a big spender in his Public effort to get elected to Public Office.

John-- Any idea how much Johnson raised and spent in prior elections... without the benefit of a bowtie? How 'bout a peek at where his pot'o silver stands today?

Might be good journalism to keep the readership posted on the financial fruits and feints of "The Prancing Man."

And of course,
keep the hot white light on Vanguard!!!

There is a rumor circulating that Brent Wilkes had to dump his business and leave Mass because of an impropriety with a Workers Compensation Policy. Something like he represented the insurance carrier and the municipality at the same time.

If this is a false rumor, Candidate Wilkes should clear it up.

Anyway, does anyone know why both Brent Wilkes and Pat Kane suddenly ended up in Saratoga Springs?

Kinda makes ya wonder.

The city is forced by law to provide all the cities Unions with Lawyers also

How? The unions Lawyers are paid by union dues that come out of employee pay checks made up of city funds

And Wilkes is so beholden to Larry Bulman the disgraced and corrupt Democratic and Union leader{his union was Wilkes largest contributor} that Wilkes will not ask the City unions for givebacks

Part of my book
Fear and loathing in Saratoga
About how corrupt the Local Democratic Committee is

Why? Because that's what Saratoga is now! An ACTIVITY CENTER for the retired and nearly-retired Bored Housewives Club.

Jeeze...all you need to sink this Wilke's ship is that clip of him saying he's going to levy a tithe on bars. Shut the fuck up and sit down. You just lost the election.
