| DOHERTY |
Troy Councilman Bob Doherty, chair
of the Public Safety Committee, appeared at the State Liquor Authority and
spoke on behalf of the owners of Kokopellis, according to sources.
The SLA is investigating the
Fourth Street bar in light of the recent melee that ended with five people
arrested that night and eight officers injured, six to the point of needing
hospital treatment. Since, two others have been arrested, one for throwing a
trash can through the back window of a police cruiser.
Doherty hosted a well-attended
Public Safety Committee meeting on Tuesday to hear from the public regarding
the incident and allegations of police brutality. There is another scheduled for Next Wednesday to hear the police side of things.
The TPD is conducting a number of
internal investigations and there are calls for an external agency to come in
and take a look at whether or not officers used excessive force, as surveillance
and cell phone video seem to indicate.
So, the question becomes, why is
Doherty, an elected public official, advocating on behalf of the bar in front
of a state agency when there are so many unanswered questions. And, he is at the
same time holding hearings which are supposed to help answer the very same questions.
More on this story as it develops.
Oh what a tangled web we weave. Did you see Mayor Ellen McNulty's letter in the pulse of the people defending the Troy cops. Funny how she forgot to mention many of those same cops work for her in Green Island. How could she forget that! She should write another letter detailing what cops work in green Island that were involved in this incident.
ReplyDeleteAND STOP TRYING TO FOOL THE PUBLIC.
It is apparent that Doherty does not know what he is doing or what damage he did to the credibility of the council. H e must resign.
ReplyDeleteIf this is true then he needs to step down........He's an elected official he should know better than to discuss an open investigation.
ReplyDeleteHe does what b dunne tells him too.
ReplyDeleteAttorney General where are u?
ReplyDeleteRodney was late to the meeting. He was at the salt she getting sand and salt mix
ReplyDeleteHe's a sneaky old bird, mark my words he is in the pockets of Glick and a couple other high-end investors for downtown.
ReplyDeleteGlick is a high end investor? That's a good one.
DeleteCheck out the IDA Pilot Grant list if you don't believe me, there's your first clue, follow the trail.
DeleteDoherty needs to step down. And this should be demanded by the council. The next time TPD has to go into Kokopellis and an officer gets hurt, Doherty will have blood on his hands. The department wants it shut down, other business' in the area would like to see them go and you are supporting them BEFORE all of the facts are in or investigations are complete, as a Councilperson? I'd make sure not to have a cocktail with dinner anywhere in Troy either buddy. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Saturdays paper and the results of tonight's state of the city. Will beam do a piece on rodney and the rock salt please. It's not fair and he did it again.
ReplyDeleteNext time take pics!
DeleteThere is pictures being passed around
DeleteWas he shirtless when he stole it?
DeleteSend the pic to Franco I'd love to see it, would be a hoot.
DeleteIts obvious Dunne is working with Mirch to screw the Cox family yet again. UNREAL!
DeleteThe City misses a statesman like Billy Pascarell who represented that District with honor and dignity!!!!
ReplyDeleteAn angry Pete Ryan storming around city hall today after he found out bill dunne knew they would be barging garbage to troy. Took it off the agenda
ReplyDeleteDohery can do whatever he want. A terroritst would get elected if he held the Dem line downtown.
ReplyDeleteA raving lunatic could get elected..Oh, one did.
DeleteYou should know jay.
DeleteA stray cat would be elected if he was the Dem candidate in that district.
ReplyDeleteA woman resembling a feral cat could get elected... Oh wait, one did
DeleteAt least we no longer have a stray bat ruining our city.
DeleteThis is how the folks in charge roll...Rodney has been to the Zoning meetings 2 times to speak against solar panel someone wanted....talk about a conflict interest.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a night!!!! Council 1 Cox 0.
ReplyDeleteThat's right harry
DeleteDo you blog at work councilman dunne?
DeleteJust because your only job was to blog for harry doesn't mean everyone else just blogs, plays cards and sucks on the public teat.
DeleteHandsome Bill Dunne swayed the council against the Cox family. He lied right to their faces. Rodney was devastated to see the Cox vote fail. Newcomer Robertson took 17 minutes to cast her vote. Its bizzarro world.
ReplyDeleteWe have a councilmember who can't hear, and now we have one who can't speak.
DeleteDunne is working with Mirch!
DeletePlease. Dunne couldn't hang with Mirch.
DeleteWOW!!!!! You talk about strange!!! Lou talked about the "incredible operatunity in developing the city of Troy river front" on the same night that the administration pulled the Valentie deal from the city council agenda. Looks like Mr Dunne didn't tell the boys all the bad things coming with this proposals. Can't wait to see where this goes.
ReplyDeleteValente needs the riverfront property but Dunne needs a new kitchen and Wade needs a vacation home.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Country Club Pete has a lot of bills. Do the brown envelopes stop now?
DeletePete won't take a brown envelope. He has nothing to do with brown. He got ride of the brown things in city hall ask Miss Little. No mower no rake no clubs on your back then no job for you. Not at my golf course.
DeleteBill Dunn is operating independantly of the new Mayors office. Harry would not stand for insubordinace like this! New Mayor and deputy are always shocked and surprised at planning dictator and all the new schemes.
ReplyDeleteFane, not Valente is the villan. Wants the whole waterfront to himself. Keep the trucks running through South Troy neighborhoods. Thanks, Don. Stop hiding behind Jack Perry and Dr. Death.
ReplyDeleteEasy Billy Boy your trying to piss with the big boys! This isn't going to be like that shit show at the Dormitory Authority. This project smells like the garbage they where going to bring back.
DeleteHere is a quote from Buffoon Bob in the Record "“I certainly do not think any business should be shut down until we have a clear idea of what took place,” said Doherty. “This is an issue for us as a community since there are so many different views.”" He accompanies a guy who likened the TPD as the KKK and has already found the police guilty. He along with Pastor Willie have created a racial divide never seen in this city before. I would have paid cash to be there when the SLA told him he couldn't speak, I'm sure he said "don't you know who I am" ! Come spring there will be more 'for sale' signs than in all Troy history. Thanks Bob
ReplyDeleteYour for sale sign will be the most prominent of them all. What bus you riding out of town? The one that takes you over to south pearl st?
DeleteWade has a new vacation home in Highpointe. Purchased it last year.
ReplyDeleteFlash!
ReplyDeleteCarmella has finally spoken on this issue. Check out twitter........Carmella says: ummmm ethics! Yea Carmella we're with you keep up the good work.
Nobody gives a shit what she has to say Jim.
DeleteAt least she speaks the newest puppet took so long to vote I almost fell asleep.
DeleteI agree, but Carmella doesn't have a clue, and she's a phony. Anastasia can't help that she's in over her head. And the big thing, is that Anastasia was actually liked by the people enough to get elected into office. So I say, lets give her a chance to grow. Bye bye Carmella, people in your own party worked against you last time. Hey Brother your ass
DeleteFunny, the only people Anastasia interacts with are people of color. She hasn't been at any of the functions I have, except during election time. Give her a chance to grow, ha! She got elected because of the political operatives working for the Dems. They got her and Teta-Sullivan elected through Erin's brothers connections, she didn't get elected on merit. She got elected because those behind the scenes paid for her seat. She's in over her head because she doesn't realize her seat was bought and paid for by the Dem's. If she does want to grow she needs to unload Tim, he's as close to a nutcase as Cox.
DeleteYou made one valid point. They got elected. Run candidates who can win, and you won't have to worry about them.
DeleteThought Doherty was an alcoholism counselor. What does he make money on both sides of the fence.
ReplyDeleteDing, ding, ding we have a winner. Dougherty has two faces on at all times. He'll sell out your grandmother too! Oh wait, he's already sold out some seniors and they don't even know it yet!
DeleteGreat speech by the Mayor. Uplifting words, delivered with enthusiazm. THe best public speaker ever to hold a microphone. He was born to be a great leader.
ReplyDeleteHave another Coors Lite
DeleteYou drank the juice didn't you?
DeleteCountry Club Pete will have to slow down on the Coors lights when he's the democratic candidate for mayor. And he better be ready to explain the Scolite deal, or non deal. Follow the money.
DeleteCountry Club Pete will never be mayor.
DeleteIt must be a nice feeling for the Troy cops patrolling the streets day in and day out that the head of the public safety committee takes sides with someone who called TPD the KKK...
ReplyDeleteGet a life Harry
Deletejack leg no good rats no sell my nepew properti. Even dartlady, smellin good of many cigs say it a good move. but no jack leg lug nut rat gordon and harry use their inflewense to get councel to vote no. nepew had big plans to make all of block look as good as his house.
ReplyDeleteAs was said last night at the council meeting Jack Jr is not his father. So lets just judge Jack Jr on his own project , the old Wards Auto Body. It's a disgrace, he's never worked with the city or his neighbors. This family is a total negative for the city of Troy and that kooky uncle Bob is off the hook.
ReplyDeletePretty sad state of affairs when Flash Gordon looks like the brightest bulb in the ceiling. You Go Flash!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kevin, we'll miss your rapier wit, superior intellect and statesmanlike presence at the council meetings.
DeleteWow, Dougherty just does whatever he wants to and pushes the unethical limits all the time. Look what he did by unethically using City Council letterhead during the campaign and now he goes in front of the SLA on behalf of a bar that's part of a civil rights controversy he is presiding over.
ReplyDeleteFeel bad for the Troy cops, Doherty sure isn't n your side.
Can anyone verify that President Two Tone Tongue Wiltshire and his wife would often ballroom dance at Kokopellis.
ReplyDeleteHighly doubtful but you've been seen there with your boyfriend.
DeleteThe single person ruining this city is vandenburgh and chamberlain. Now this jack leg dunne tries to stop my family from buying property in our neighborhood. I been in troy because of horror stories my brother told me on phone was born here and worked as chef for sonny doin and jack leg caprod and rat citizen Vito and ice cream Murphy and Gordon karma king wins. The one with most toys wins. Jack leg and sarris mirch and crawley hurt my family. I drive around in my 1988 $700 pickup with red rims
ReplyDeleteWhere were these Assholes when the Basement Bayou owner asked the city for help with the degenerates?
ReplyDeleteHerman Munster Dougherty needs to step down. It now a conflict if interest 2 times. First kokapellis. Now we find out he I neighbors to bobby cox
ReplyDeleteHow can an elected official take sides when the investigation is not complete? Does he support a bar that serves 19 year old patrons? You know, the 19 year olds who were at the bar and arrested.
ReplyDeleteGet it right stupid. They were outside the bar. Go stir your crap elsewhere.
DeleteAnasazio fell asleep before the vote on Jack in the Cox.
