You asked for it, you've got it!

A special forum dedicated to local politics. Use this area to discuss current events in the Town of Malta and surrounding areas.

Enjoy!

thanks, admin. The only thing worse than BS from Paul's Pawns was the BS from the other Maltards complaining about us on their halcyon board.

Cheers, m8

Above is an interesting editorial that was in the Schenectady Daily Gazette last Friday (11/23) regarding full time hours for full time pay by the Town Clerk.

allright another plant!

sounds like its from the 3 time loser Cynthia Young camp.

she lost by an impressively small margin- especially for a long shot. I'll bet a contribution to the opposition to development is because the new people are likely to be social liberals and fiscal conservatives. These types won't be impressed by any of the ex-favored incumbents. Cross your fingers they don't have stay at home partners with nothing to do but go to town board meetings.

Cynthia, if you're reading this, keep on keepin' on.

I voted for Young ...time to get the old guard out and in with the new ....break up the good ole cronie network

Yeah, me too, Unholy.

Maltamaniac - what a nasty thing to say about Cynthia Young! Far from being a "loser" she has performed a community service by her willingness to run against the establishment here in Malta. Her campaign served to keep the current officials accountable. If nobody ran they would continue to do as they please without having to worry about democratic challenges. I believe Cynthia ran a positive campaign and, for the Demoratic underdog, won a large percentage of the votes.

I, for one, am hoping she runs again next time - "If at first you don't succeed ...".

I was heartened to see the Gazette editorial - it kind of shocked me that there was such complacency here in Malta about the fact that the Town Clerk was working and getting paid for 2 jobs simultaneously. I always thought that falsifying time records was a serious offense. I was happy to see that at least the editors of the Gazette saw the problem immediately. I wish they had published it before the election.

But what about "if after three times you dont succeed?"

...Keep running because you never know when Flo will actually get caught and held accountable for hours...

I say...try, try, try, TRY again! We need you!

If we're all intelligent people, why are you disagreeing with us?

You said that us intelligent types have an interest in what's best for Malta. And you disagree with us because of that.

Thank you very much... South Carolina.

We all want what is best for Malta. We also want what is best for ourselves. Take a look at the voting records of Nolen and Sausville. On topics that really matter to Malta, they tend to agree. Their disagreements come in their personal and political encounters. I'll bet even Whitey and Ann agree on most things that really matter to the town.
