I think it is amazing that Yepsen could do so much for Saratoga Springs by being out numbered by such a large Republican block. This hard work shows in her election wins and even carrying Saratoga Springs, a heavily Republican stronghold, in the race for State Senate against the popular (at that time)Roy McDonald. Remember, it was Mayor Scott Johnson who led a contingent to Albany to get the casino here in Saratoga Springs. Yepsen has shown a drive to help not only Saratoga Springs as one of our Supervisors, but try to get as much support for her efforts from a Republican controlled Board, on issues that get County programs to add to the economy of Saratoga Springs, it is really unfair to compare one Mayor running for office to one who served in the past. Remember, if it wasn't for a disgruntled primary loser, Keehn would have beaten Johnson in his first run for Mayor.

After nearly 6 years of a secretive administration, one that requires a FOIL request for even basic information, a deficit in the City Attorney budget each and every year, Rec. Center operating deficits every year since its opening, failure to improve Waterfront Park even with the availability of several $100s of thousands, inability or unwillingness to deal with the SHA scandal in a straight forward manner, shoddy treatment of many City employees, an attempt uncovered by Comm. Madigan to provide additional water to benefit a politically connected property owner in Wilton without Council action and public disclosure, we finally are on the threshold of returning this government to the community.<br /><br />No more attempts to manipulate the Civil Service Commission. No more threats.<br /><br />Joanne, just promise to open this government and tell us the truth, re-established balanced boards, appoint truly good people, support the police and fire services and restoration of our parks and you will win going away.<br /><br />Best of luck.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916367746067142134.post-1065659577592530192013-04-06T10:17:54.967-04:002013-04-06T10:17:54.967-04:00You have our votes!You have our votes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916367746067142134.post-9335445858363317162013-04-06T07:01:16.998-04:002013-04-06T07:01:16.998-04:00Go for it Jo Ann, and best of luck.
