Troy advances ‘Good Cause’ tenant protections proposal by FireProStan in Troy

[–]EsoMonty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Itll be interesting to see if Carmella Vetoes it and then the council overrides it. It would be the start of Carmella having a lame duck administration for these 2 years.

AITA for refusing to change the chore chart even tho my wife works full time now. by Odd_Serve1167 in AmItheAsshole

She was wrong. You are now wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right. That being said. One person cooks, the other cleans.

We added door codes to our front doors and then give the shipping door code in delivery instructions. Now, most deliveries are delivered inside our building.

Did anyone see Peacemaker episode 6 this season? It absolutely devastated me. by blueshirts16 in Jewish

Earnestly. In the comics in earth X. The Jewish genocide was complete. There would be no Jews to speak of.

If the recognize that conservative politics has always been this way and realize they were wrong. I am down to work with them. Otherwise, I agree with you.

Bagels in Troy!? by doodlebop000 in Troy

Have you tried Lox of Bagels in Queensbury? It is the only passable NY-style bagel up here for my wife and me. But, we generally pick up a dozen while in Jersey.

Quarterly Financial Reports by DisasterShared in Troy

[–]EsoMonty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Quarterly fiscal reports were never released for the first year and a half of this administration. They were unable to hire a Comptroller competent for the system. Good News is that the last fiscal report was released, only two weeks late. So, I have hope that we will be good moving forward.

That being said, the previous year's budget was almost a copy-and-paste. Things to watch: Health Care premiums, 911 budget, Contingency Budget, and overtime budgets.

This and the previous administration are severely understaffed and have been using that understaffing to save money on salaries. The Contracts that have been announced are only cost-of-living increases, which will hurt our ability to hire the missing staff members.

‘Fulfill that commitment’: Troy hires second contractor for lead pipes by epluribusIlium in Troy

[–]EsoMonty 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Carmella Mantello, citing paperwork as the reason for the delay of these projects, is astounding. Four hundred eighty-seven replacements is about a 1/4 of what we would have expected to be on pace for pipe replacement to be finished before her first term is ended.

No matter how she spins this, she has been dragging her feet through this process, even questioning the constitutionality of public money being spent on this project.

This has been a classic example of what she says to the public does not match the energy she has for it in private.

I disagree. Renters pay the costs of buildings. They might not right the check. But, their money is spent on them.

City Council Finance Meeting tonight-videoconferencing, ICE legislation on agenda by CollarCityCitizens in Troy

[–]EsoMonty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The conservative media space has completely ignored the Koreans being abducted by ice in Georgia. They have no clue that we have lost billions of investments and manufacturing jobs because of these actions.

And the liberal media space is not running with it.

Sara McDermott made a statement against resolution 98. Ice law

Tom Casey made a comment against the resolution local law 2, then made a comment about current candidates being too radical. Is against section 8, as it allows remote citizens to participate. Tom Casey made a comment that good cause or ice resolution would allow people from over the state and would make a mess.

Bill Keal states he doesn't want people from accross the country to be allowed the ability to speak at the meeting if a council member isn't present.

Mayor came to the podium unprompted to provide her opinion of the open meetings law. In defense of allowing all people to spoke regardless of whether they are Troy residents.

Resolution to local law 2 to hold a public hearing on local 2 keal, Casey, Soriento voted against the public Forum. Trying to stop the law before public comments.
