It appears the Republicans do have a candidate to run in the heavily Democratic District 4. Joe Navarra will run against incumbent Bob Doherty (of the Wiltshire camp) and Barbara Jones Higbee (of the Wade camp.) So the number of candidates is back up to 30.
The astounding number of candidates, 30, running for a limited number of open seats in Troy, 10, has shrunk by one.

Pamela Troue, who was running in
District 2 with what is commonly known as the “Wade Democrats,” or the slate
headed up by mayoral candidate Patrick Madden and supported by Rensselaer
County Chairman Tom Wade, has opted to drop out.
That leaves incumbent Councilwoman
Anastasia Robertson, who is solidly with the “Wiltshire Democrats,” or the
slate headed up by mayoral candidate and council President Rodney Wiltshire, to
square off against Mark McGrath, who is running with the Republicans for the
seat he was term limited out of about 18 months ago.
Troue is caring for her ailing
mother and said a run for council is too much of a commitment at this point in
time.
With petitions due no later than
July 9, here is a list of candidates and their respective teams. That list
could change dramatically depending on whether or not the candidates get enough
signatures to get on the ballot.

I see the Republicans don't have a candidate in District 4. Paul Moses lives in district 4. Why not him ?
ReplyDeleteRusso is having problems with petitions and Scott Ryan is making a big push on the petitions. Looks like he will have more names than Russo. Now Russo and Merola are going to get dirty
ReplyDeleteProblems? --we ain't havin no stinkin problems.
DeletePut down the kool aid and step away from the cup...
DeleteHolding out for mccashion to enter
ReplyDeleteHightop sheeran to summer above laportos and run in d4 this fall
ReplyDeleteI believe the Republicans will win. Dems screwed themselves.
ReplyDeleteI just might take an offer if I was a write in . Why not, I have no public office experience but I'm sure I co2do worse than those who have been in office lately. At least I promise to show up at every meeting.
ReplyDeleteWill Rogers make a deal and give the feds Mahar, Russo and Jimino. Lets see remember the connection between Rogers father and Kathy this could get interesting.
ReplyDeleteWade's candidates are seeing the freedom train coming. This Troue women knew Team Troy and one of the team leaders Anastasia were impossible to beat.We'll take out McGrath next.
ReplyDeleteTeam Troy has changed its name to Lineup of Losers. Watch them go down to defeat.
DeleteBetter pack a lunch slick! And tell your candidates to take a freakin bath before they slap the peanut butter on the bread, or I'll call the health dept.. Ms KKK is going bye bye!!!!!!!!!!
DeletePat,
ReplyDeleteWill you retain Bill Dunne as Planning Commissioner? If so, who will be responsible on the installments for my civil award?
Really? A civil suit against Dunne and no press coverage? Try again. Sound like a McCashen wet dream!
DeleteBill. Your propensity to write in a rhetorical style gives you away. Of course there was no press coverage -- that is why my Daddy took the case civil. Given the photos of little willy that you texted to me, we had a criminal case. But, who needs all the attention when we could get you to cough up some cash.
DeletePrediction Jim Gordon Will be or try to be the new Three Job Bob he was weaned on Three Job Bob's Corruption
ReplyDeleteWhen Jim Looses this time his political Career will be over and he will then run for the County Legislature and fail and will be thrown onto the trash heap of Troys Broken and Battered History of Political Losers and Political Hacks
Any one for tennis
Pat Madden
ReplyDeleteHave you reviewed the Bill Dunne Dormitory Authority settlement agreement? It is in the office of the Corporation Counsel as well as within the offices of several other persons in the Executive Suite. What is your policy with regard to serial predators?
