| MORRIS |
The first person of Mayor Lou
Rosamilia’s administration is jumping ship.
The final day for spokesman
Michael Morris will be April 17, according to a source in City Hall. Last week, Rosamilia announced he would not seek a second term.
Morris came to the administration after
Rosamilia had already had a tough two years. He was the spokesman during a time
when the city’s financial dilemma came to light, during the first Council
investigation into a sitting administration in 36 years and during the Lansingburgh
frozen pipe fiasco.
In other words, he was in a tough
spot. In many ways it was just too late to have a shot at salvaging anything and he was thrown into the rough and tumble world of Troy politics where grudges can last decades and alliances just minutes.
Morris was working for the state Assembly until taking over for spokeswoman Jessica Sibley in May, 2014. Sibley became the mayor’s spokeswoman in April, 2013. She took over for Michael Frasier, who went to work for Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb after working a year for Rosamilia.
It’s unclear where he will work
next. It's also unclear whether or not Rosamilia will fill the spot for his final nine months in office.
Morris said he does have a new gig but preferred not to disclose what or where it is. He did give this statement:
"I appreciate the opportunity given to me last March by Mayor Rosamilia and I really enjoyed working with he and Deputy Mayor Pete Ryan."
"I appreciate the opportunity given to me last March by Mayor Rosamilia and I really enjoyed working with he and Deputy Mayor Pete Ryan."
Good news .....heard Frank Laposta has begun taking a look at running for Mayor. We need someone like Frank, honesty and integrity.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but what's the deal with past losers wanting to run?
DeleteSo that's why Amy O'Connor smelled like onions and egg salad at the Boys Club dinner. Her Frank and Dan Doran will save out city.
Delete15 years ago President of the council Frank Laposta led a council investigation of Deputy Mayor Jim Conroy and the $27,000 he steered to his family. Anyone remember that! Frank again showed his independence and integrity.
Delete5:35 Get a life and get over your hard on
DeleteGross. 6:56 the thought of that even happening made me throw up a little in my mouth.
DeleteTake the catchers mit with you Morris. She don't live in troy
ReplyDeleteflip flopper
ReplyDeleteRat
Delete338 and 630 you should both be investigated for theft of services and fraud
DeleteWill we ever stop recyling the retreads?
ReplyDeleteRetreads? Was that your spellchecker messing up and meant RETARDS
DeleteMorris channeled the Ghost of Buell for inspiration during his time @cityfloor. Both he and the Buellabaker will donate their beard hair to the Make A Kid Happy With The Gift Of A Hair Pillow Foundation - who by the way will be renting offices at the Jim Conroy Methadone Clinic.
ReplyDeleteAs funny as that sounds he would be better than Rodney, Gordon, Manny or Carmella. Not a deep pool.
ReplyDeleteLike this was a surprise?
ReplyDeleteOut of the 3 spokesperson who had the most ladies
ReplyDeleteThat's it!!
ReplyDeleteCandidates with extensive experience at doing nothing, and refusing to leave.
Nice to see folks interested in the future of Troy at the charter revision commission.
ReplyDeleteChief Tedesco - lives in Watervliet
Bill Chamberlian - lives in North Greenbush
Mazzierillo - lives in Brunswick
city assessor - lives in Schodack
Really...you cant make this stuff up!
44% tax base....and 98% of a county budget that goes to public assistance makes it tough for any hardcore troy lover to stay, and even those are starting to get pissed off. Get ready for a City of non-working people and a joseph house at every other building.
DeleteThat's the dem mantra, enslave people with government handouts and warn them if they vote republican they be not getting they checks. Regardless of how despicable it is New York State is proof positive it works.
DeleteTedesco lives in Colonie. He is only concerned in abolishing the Police Commissioner in the Charter. He has no business on the commission.
DeleteHe's not on the commission, DUHH......,
DeleteWho's next??
ReplyDeleteThe City of Troy really doesn't need a "spokesperson" for the Mayor. Let each Mayor speak for themselves.
ReplyDeleteHe's bumbling idiot he can't. Although I remember the past when commissioner dunne felt the last admin didn't need one.
DeleteHe's going to the gov's office to hide for awhile. Shocker.
ReplyDeleteHe goes wherever the wire is needed
DeleteSteve Napier of course
ReplyDeleteOK Gary Gordon!
DeleteGreat spokesperson. Bob cox. Affluent makes sense driven and hard working.
ReplyDeleteHey there Alamo
ReplyDeleteplease..cut the crap..morris is jumpin ship...cuz he know's this administration is a joke...this mayor and his boneheads's did nothing for this city..only in troy would people be able to get 50k or less in overtime..or slumlords that dump their entire content's in the alley's or curbline and don't get fined..how about bomber's gettin their parking lot...or casale getting his sidewalk work..or..valente getting bruno machinery for next to nothing..ohh...let's not forget the beautiful summit apt's that were supposed to be senior housing..kinda funny how casale and valente were in on that..last but not least..is casale paying rent for the land he is using by E-Lot to dump his crap...take a look there and also behind the old marshall ray...this mayor and his administration is more corupt than any of the past....but..he's a nice guy my azz..he should be in jail
ReplyDeleteJust say no to drugs.
DeleteYeah nice article on them in the Times Union, why would the administration hook their wagon to that horse? Good thing that deal on the river didn't go thru. Again, Wade putting Dunn in City Hall, I Really think Lou got screwed!
DeleteDid I hear correctly that Mccasion said that Deputy Mayor Ryan asked (who) an official if he was going to jail? I know he makes stuff up but if this is one of his jokes he's gone too far. Karma
ReplyDeleteSeen Peter Ryan with Bill Macinerny today. The heat is on Peter and he's reaching out to an expert on this one. He knows he can't go all Kevin McGrath and rat people out because he's to involved just like McInerney was in voter fraud. Now the only thing is did McInerney give real advice or is he helping his old friend Bill Dunne. Peter doesn't know who to trust or what to do will be reaching out to John Brown next.
DeleteKarma only happens to people who have dine things wrong fir their own gain. Kevin is just busting ads with the truth. If you can't stand the heat..get the fuck out.
DeleteThe announcement this week will be Brunswick's own Amy O'Connor will be boss Wade's endorsed candidate for mayor. she will be using a Lansingburgh address. You heard it here.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what address she'll use
DeleteNo.Way.In.Hell
DeleteLou and Pete really made themselves and their families look like fools from day 1. Nothing against the both of them but wow WTF were these two thinking when they took office. Mike Tyson would of done a better job.
ReplyDeleteKevin. It's okay for Harry to have his fake troy poli twitter but you are all over mr dunne when someone has Kevin mom twitter. Not even his. He is to busy moving the city forward from where the last administration left it Double standard. #helpkevin
ReplyDeleteCum on dunne. It's Easter
DeleteOmertà says chamberlain number 2
DeleteWhat's with the help kevin hashtag commissioner dunne?
DeleteThe only thing Harry has these days is a dog that walks downtown. No better than king street mccashion #fallfromgrace #helpkevin #troyisbetteroffwithoutharry
ReplyDeleteOpinions are plenty but one fact remains #dunnecantgetajob is something guaranteed.
DeleteWith all the investigation about King street I think someone IS going to jail. The only question is WHO.
ReplyDeleteBig Rock Fragomeni is now in the race. Break out the cigars!
ReplyDeleteIs he running as a Dem? He will have to get Germano's permission.
DeleteGermano wants him to win so he will get weekend visits
DeleteBill Dunne writing in the third person
ReplyDeleteTroy I definitely on the map after this weekend Not only was jake the snake at troys own bgc. Chef prudehome made a surprise quest appearance as well
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a violation of the ethics law where County Executive Jimino is hosting a $75 per person fundraiser for her employee JIm Gordon, who does political work at county job and would need need County Executive's permission to run for mayor while holding county job? Seems like a clear conflict of interest.

ReplyDeleteNo it's not fatty.
Deletethe politicians in this county have no ethics
DeleteYou live in the United States of America, the land of loopholes my friend.
DeleteTo 3:26, that should be just about everyone in City Hall who answered any questions from the Feds or the City Council, because they all lied about something. The two that should be thanked for bringing this all about and believed are Russ Reeves and Barb Tozzi. And no, I don't and never have worked for the City of Troy.
ReplyDeleteTime for Troy to use new contractors on everything, they keep using the same ones expecting better results and haven't gotten anywhere.
DeleteCooper and cox upset over zba chair still pulling strings even tho no longer the chair
ReplyDeleteChef prudhomme for mayor.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the Feds don't turn a blind eye toward all the corruption and graft. They need to use a big broom to clean house. The city deserves more honesty and integrity like Reeves and Tozzi displayed.
ReplyDeleteI'll miss him a lot.
