So last night I wandered on down to the Southwest Neighborhood Association of Saratoga Springs, meet the candidate’s night in the beautiful bar and meeting room of the American eagle beer distribution joint. Evening stated out nicely enough until the grim faced puppet master Pat Kane arrived and told me “John only members of the Southwest Neighborhood Association of Saratoga Springs can sit down in a chair”
I responded “Pat as a disabled individual who suffers from peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, a Charcot left foot and did I mention I have cancer, I’m protected by the Americans with a disabilities act which clearly states that reasonable accommodations must be made for people with disabilities and make no mistake about it Pat I will sue your ass and besides Pat there are a lot of chairs.” 
Oh it gets worse when the meeting started Devin DalPos - grand poobah and exalted leader of the Southwest Neighborhood Association announced that “No recording devices or cameras will be allowed anyone found in violation of these my rules will be asked to leave” 
THEIR WAS A POLICE OFFICER PRESENT TO BACK UP HIS CLAIMS. Then he said only ‘CARD CARRYING MEMBERS OF SOUTHWEST NEIGHBOORHOOD ASSOCIATION COULD SPEAK”
Then he looked at us lesser mortals with a sneer to reinforce his mandate.
Reminded me of the old song “Signs” by The 5 Man Electrical Band
Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!
Pat Kane the man behind the Brent’s skirt came up behind me to reinforce "if I was even to touch my camera I would be removed"
Then Brent gave a nice speech about how open and transparent he would be. Fucking hilarious. Mark my words if this clown was ever elected cameras and voice recorders would be forever banned from the city council meeting and metal detectors would be installed,
I find Pat Kane quite funny. I understand he is a trainer for salesman at GE and I see a lot of his techniques in play. The body language the touching at the elbow the gentle forms of non-verbal communication meant to get the upper hand in conversations and to bond with your target and yes NXIVM uses the same techniques
Next Chris Mathiesen got up and continued his campaign of fear calling for more cops to patrol the mean streets of Saratoga and calling for a new Fire Station because you know “never been a better time to bond money”
But the funniest person of the night was Michele Madigan who proclaimed that people “should be able to pay their property taxes ten years in advance and with a discount”
No mention of how the city could possibly calculate what your property taxes would be ten years down the road or why the City would want to blow ten years of revenue in 365 days, but I don’t believe the gum smacking Madigan has ever had a deep thought in her life.
Till next time breath free just don’t take any pictures of Brent or Pat Kane might have you removed from the State.

John,I'd like to comment but Pat Kane has a gag order on what was said at this gathering.
Regarding the Police Officer/Peace Officer - was their an ON DUTY SARATOGA SPRINGS POLICE OFFICER in attendence throughout this event? Did the Southwest Neighborhood Association compensate us for the officer being their? Isn't that the new policy for police required at events?
While I understand it's important for the police to have open contact lines between themselves and neighborhood associations, it seems that with all we are hearing about how understaffed the department is, keeping an officer at a meet the candidates event, then the group meeting after is a poor use of city resources. Wouldn't the officer submitting a short, written report via email, to be read by someone else at the meeting be more efficent?
Kyle,your lunacy never fails to amaze me,those people all worked for wilkes which is leaving me to believe you also are getting paid by this shister for the constant misdirect.I was hoping last night that "Wall Street Wilkes" would mention his new book "How I can manage to screw you out of millions and have you pay me millions to do it",it's on the Wall Street best sellers list.
You'll have to leave all your "lunacy" droppings on John's doorstep... because seeking out the Board members was his idea. From the second part of his interview with Brent--
******************************************
Me (John). "So just one more time for the record. The loss of -$28.5 million had absolutely nothing to do with your resignation from PERMA?"
BRENT. "Look the Board of Directors begged me to stay. You can call them if you wish and they will tell you themselves."
Me. "Can I have their phone numbers?"
Brent. "NO"
*****************************************
The Board members do not now nor have they ever "worked for wilkes," instead they work for PERMA. Then again you may be right as rain...
...but I would still disagree that it makes John again kind of lunatic.
State Park official spending morning pulling Wilkes signs from the dog park. Way to show he can use resources efficiently.
I wonder if Mathiesen knows how many officers it takes to patrol the 16 square miles (removing all the non-patrolable parks, wetlands, school properties, state lands, etc.)of Saratoga's mean streets?
Can I pay my taxes ahead for the next 20 years? Jeez, what an idea?
Kyle I wouldn't call them board members but maybe we should call them co-conspirators
You all look alike kyle,that amazes me too,my money is on jt.
Happy days had the fonz and the loonies have the ponzi for mayor.
I need someone honest, good, strong, and affectionate. No such person exists, Could it be Kyle. If you met me, you would love me. I have an amazing personality & people are naturally drawn to me. But I am secretly such a mess & sickness runs thru my veins. Kyle do you want the showers in the rec center for us? I am fairly sure I've cured my depression through masturbation but the valium helps. My mother & step father were on adult friend finder ...naked. Apparently they swing. Do you swing Kyle? Oh I have to go to therapy now, we’ll talk more Kyle
You Know, Madigan's comment was not funny at all, but since you know nothing about finance you can't understand that people will pay property taxes in advance for a discount. there would need to be a formula in place to make up for any differences over the years with possible tax increases and decreases, but for those people that did pay in advance, and I believe there would be many, that money could be invested - legally in whatever ways municipalities invest. as she said last night - it's all very actuarial. But you just dismiss her, because you don't have the adequate brain power to follow her thoughts. Whatever, you're the one who should be dismissed.
She still looked funny to me and I hope she didn't stick her gum under her seat.
Dave -
I know your Mamie's Tool. But you have a way with words. Keep 'em coming! (<-no shower pun intended)
The Village Idiot (also knows as Kyle Dork) is once again full of shit and spreading BS in the hopes of getting his guru into power.
The Dorkman says this, above:
"I know you want to confirm whether Brent was canned or beloved during his term as President."
Then later, her references John's original question:
"Me (John). "So just one more time for the record. The loss of -$28.5 million had absolutely nothing to do with your resignation from PERMA?"
Canned vs Resignation. Two different things, Dork. Don't put words in JT's mouth.
There is the concept of 'resigning under pressure'-- you ever hear of it? Technically, it's not the same as being fired. It goes down as a 'resignation.'
But it's kind of more like being fired, wouldn't you say?

It sounds like someone else (10:09AM) also struggles with finance.
If the city were to accept, in return for a discount, 10 years worth of property taxes, years #2 thru 10 (that's nine years, for the math challenged) would initially have to be held in the equivalent of an escrow (or unearned income) account and would show as a liability in the city's balance sheet. It couldn't spend it.
This shows a SERIOUS deficiency on Mrs Madigan's understanding of municipal finance, in my opinion.
yeah, gum smacking is a bad habit - i'll give you that! I'll bet she wrapped it up nicely and tossed it in the garbage. Sometimes bad breath gets the best of you and you just need to smack that gum ;-)
Kyle I dream of
You lounged in the doorway, shirtless
Against the blistered yellow paint of City Hall.
Light curved around your torso as you speak in the public comment period,
The fall light bathing through the windows
Highlighting your biceps muscling your pecs with your bald head shinning, blinding me with a warm glow
Benting down I see the dimpled ridges of your abs and
And then you disappeared.
But I saw whats leftof your hair the color of sunlight,and dishwater
Your eyes the color of rain and soot.
Kyle I await you
Just got a mailing today endorsing the Democratic candidates from a group that calls itself the "Saratoga Springs Committee of Concerned Citizens". Who the hell are they? Return address is 88 Court St.
Of course people would be WILLING to pay property taxes in advance for a discount. However, is that what's best for the city? Especially in this economic climate? Those type of projections are irresponsible and reckless not actuarial. Please name one municipality in NYS that is doing that and where there is any evidence that it is successful? Do your research first. Do we want to flush Saratoga Springs down the toilet or what?

You know, there are many ways to generate funds for a city and this is but one idea and not a done deal, definitely more research needs to take place - in particular legal muni research, but we need out of the box thinking to generate real funds for this city so we can stop over taxing our citizens. What ideas do you have? Or do you all want to complain and make exasperated comments? We are no longer just an August desitination resort, maybe we can do more throughout the year for tourist, which brings in more revenue. Perhaps street fairs during the nice weather months on broadway. Grants - there are many out there for municipalities! Many municipalities are doing more creative thinking as many municipalities have been regularly declaring bankruptcy.

I also received a mailing today endorsing "WALL STREET WILKES" better known as the $6,000,000 man by a group calling themselves "The Concerned Floor Flushers Of the Great Northeast" whose motto is..."No Flush is to Big to Fail"...
New Wilkes sign up at dog park. The only thing that shows less ability to get more out of public servants is making the Park Employee take it down TWICE!
Be carefull John. Wilkes is getting desperate!
How long how you lived in Saratoga? Saratoga Springs is more than a summer tourist spot and has been for years. The city center hosts conferences almost all year long which bring people from all over the country. Those folks stay in our hotels and eat in our restaurants thereby generating an immense amount of sales tax revenue. In fact, it is our sales tax revenue that has boosted us the past couple of years. If you look at the monthly sales revenue, we do well in spring and fall. Perhaps you should look at how much revenue we get back from the county? Perhaps we should consider pursuing a city sales tax on certain items? Then we are generating revenue based on consumer choice instead of a property tax which is mandatory.
Perhaps we should look at our city assessments? And take a real close look at who is getting tax breaks and why? Or maybe we should consider reassessing the entire city? (hasn't been done in 6 years). Maybe now is the time? I don't know....
All that said - outside the box thinking - absolutely we agree.
Come one come all Wilkes press conference 4 pm spirit of life Congress Par today.
