It will be interesting if they live up to those pledges tomorrow when you try to attend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916367746067142134.post-21560002071202054302009-12-11T12:40:39.315-05:002009-12-11T12:40:39.315-05:00Also, while I am certainly interested in covering ...Also, while I am certainly interested in covering Republican politics in the city and county, they are much more secretive about when and where they meet.The Saratogian City Deskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483093324074629001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916367746067142134.post-13079927827877045212009-12-11T12:39:55.066-05:002009-12-11T12:39:55.066-05:00Do you really think it's fair to blame everyth...Do you really think it's fair to blame everything that's wrong in the local economy on the Republicans?The Saratogian City Deskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483093324074629001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916367746067142134.post-71652046673334831292009-12-11T07:02:41.662-05:002009-12-11T07:02:41.662-05:00Andrew J Bernstein:

The Republicans have dominated local politics for a century or more. The local Republicans supported George Pataki, whose gubernatorial administration the NY Post called the "most corrupt in the history of New York State," George W. Bush, who presided over unspeakable war crimes and ruined our economy, and Joe Bruno, who plumbed new depths of greed and corruption.<br /><br />Instead of spending so much time covering the Democrats, why don't you try shedding some light on the political party that controls everything that goes on in Saratoga? <br /><br />Why don't you report on Republican Mayor Scott Johnson's refusal to say one word about the sordid crimes of his political mentor, Joe Bruno? Wouldn't it be interesting to know why the Mayor keeps on hanging around with criminals but doesn't want to talk about it? <br /><br />To put it bluntly, if you want to know who's responsible for everything that's wrong in the local economy and local government, it's the Republicans, stupid!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
