Good morning!
Are you ready for some debating? The first of two candidate forums presented by the League of Women Voters of Saratoga County will start at 7 p.m. tonight at the Maple Avenue Middle School, Route 9 in Saratoga.

Why was this info about tonight's debate NOT in the print edition??
The Saratogian should have a daily cloumn that has election info and updates of appearances and debate info so the readers cabn stay informed!
Why not post a "City Budget" fact each day on the City Desk Blog.
May I suggest this one as a starter: The adopted 2010 City budget had a $175,000 appropriation in the mayor's budget for outside lawyers.
In the proposed 2011 budget prepared by Comm. Ivins we learn that Mayor Johnson will overspent this budget line by $110,000. Of course that is Ivins' projection for the public. The cost overrun may be more.
So Johnson will spend approx. $300,000 this year for outside lawyers. Of course that's on top of what
what the City attorneys make and other related costs.
Tomorrow some questions on why Ivins and Johnson are proposing to fill a vacant position and create an entirely new one, at a cost of over $100,000 plus benefits, when the Public Safety Dispatchers are being eliminated.
Ya just can't make this stuff up.
