Sources: City interviews retired captain for commissioner position

RIEGERT
Sources confirmed that Mayor Lou Rosamilia and Deputy Mayor Pete Ryan interviewed former police Capt. John Riegert for the position of police commissioner, or maybe public safety commissioner.

The current police commissioner, Tony Magnetto, is expected to step aside early next year and while the city is under no obligation to hire another, it appears they are leaning towards that end. Another name considered, according to sources, is former Asst. Chief Ralph Iler.

Magnetto’s appointment, and subsequent control of day-to-day operations, caused a ruckus because it was driven, in part, by Chief John Tedesco’s attempts shake up the department and make it run more efficiently which upset the Police Benevolent Association.

MAGNETTO
The chief didn’t appreciate being sidelined, however, and is now threatening a lawsuit against the city challenging the legality of appointing a police commissioner without first having a public safety commissioner in place as the city charter requires. He retained attorney Brian Premo who, as is his MO, wrote a series of letters peeling back the onion, so to speak, of all that is wrong with the appointment, the PBA, the Council and the administration. In turn – or was it first – the PBA requested and was granted an Internal Affairs investigation into Tedesco’s decision to release a letter to Cohoes resident Frank Fogarty affirming his claim that Officer Kyle Jones used excessive force during an arrest last year. As a kicker, the FBI interviewed some of the department brass and took a number of files. Where that investigation goes is anyone’s guess.

Either way, Magnetto’s appointment riled up the troops on both sides and while there are some simple, clear cut ways to defuse the situation, appointing another police commissioner is not one of them.

Nothing against Riegert, mind you. In my dealings with him he seemed like a decent sort and a straight shooter. After he retired, he went to head up security at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute – which is ironic because that is where Magnetto is expected to land – and then in 2010 took a job with Albany County as head of its crime analysis center.

It’s unclear if he would even accept the position if it were offered, but what is clear is that if Tedesco (pictured left)doesn’t get his old job back – and that means the job’s responsibilities instead of just the title – he will proceed with his lawsuit.

I don’t get why the administration is even considering another commissioner. As I wrote, the mayor has the authority to tell the chief how he wants the department run. True he’s a college professor by trade and not a cop, but winning the election gives him that right.

Furthermore, the three driving forces behind getting Magnetto appointed won’t be around much longer. Councilwoman Nina Nichols and Councilman Kevin McGrath opted not to run again and published reports indicate PBA President Bob Fitzgerald (pictured right) is going to retire sometime next year. All three pressured the administration into hiring what is, given the above graph, a $30,000 a year buffer.

And, given the new dynamic on the Council that may not see eye-to-eye with the administration, there is no guarantee it would even approve the commissioner’s salary so I don’t understand the logic behind wasting political clout on something that will only cause more angst in the long run.

  11. Jim, I know you want chatter on your blog but this is way too outrageous. Both Riegert and Iiler are way too classy to get involved with this administration. Case in point, would either take orders from Fitzy or Millington? I know one of them thinks they shouldn't even be on the job. Then dealing with Clueless Lou, Loushbag Pete and a council lead by a "I'm sometimes a black man"? Gary Gordon or Kevin McGrath have a better chance at commissioner.

  17. Another day another screw up by this joke of an administration. After a fight yesterday at city floor city engineer and class guy Russ Reeves will leave the city's employ. Political hatchet man Bully Dunne will tell clueless Lou and lousbag Pete that he can handle the job. Pete Ryan will agree cause Russ has the goods on him over the King Street demolition. One little problem under law the city needs a P.E. professional engineer, they don't have one. But, it's only the law and as they say laws don't apply to these clowns.

  27. Got give BIG hand to Vito. Several years ago Clem went so far as to try and run him over to get him out of Troy and end his employment at city hall. Clem is gone and Vito still there. Then along come the self proclaimed narcissistic massia Kevin McGrath who would proclaim "first order of business get rid of Vito". We all know now that several trials a cooperation agreement and many ruined marriages and the shamed Kevin McGrath is gone and Vito not only servived but thrived threw his two term. Many would say that the fear of Viro running against him is what was the catalyst for the shamed McGrath to put his tail between his legs and run to his bunker on Red Rock and not to run again. Even Tom Wade was heard to say "Vito will crush him". The Cox family are another group that is well aware of the wrath of Vito. Vito drove them out of the Burgh like a certain other Saint did in Ireland. This ass kicking the Cox family took from Vito made him the hands down citizen of the year choice. We can all look forward to this new year and all the wonderful events that Vito will be handling for us the citizens of Troy. George Rodgers must be the luckiest man in Troy to have a work partner like Vito. So Vito we pray for you and we are blessed to have you Vito.

  36. I really wish people knew the whole story. Most of us TPD officers just want to put in a fair 8 hours of work and go home in one piece at the end of the shift. We want to be represented fairly by our PBA and we want a fair wage from the city. However, due to a political s***storm of unprecedented magnitude, we are getting hit from all sides and it is absolutely DESTROYING departmental morale. The press (and you too, Franco) is making Tedesco look like a hard-working hero, being attacked by the evil democrats. This is not accurate. Tedesco thinks the answer to all crime-related problems is more cops walking the beat. Don't get me wrong - beat cops have their purpose and we should have more, but they are not the end-all, be-all to every problem. It seems everyone has a short memory, because I remember several calls a few years ago where patrol officers were handed helmets and shields, and told to march into extremely dangerous situations after Tedesco had disbanded our SWAT team. There was a boost in morale when Magnetto came back. He improved many aspects of the day-to-day, and he made his cops want to come to work and want to fight crime. Now with all this political crossfire, the message being sent to the cops is "lay low, under the radar. If you are proactive, you will get in trouble."
    It's absolutely infuriating. The press doesn't have half the story, and there is so much going on I wish I could tell. However, I will not stoop to Tedesco's level and air my dirty laundry in public.

    3. So I gather this Steve Seney is the officer involved in the Fitzgerald lawsuit? "Learn from your mistakes"? So now Fitzgerald, Millington and Peter Ryan are going after him? And the FBI is sniffing around? The arrogance will surely take all three down. Keep up the threats, it's already in writing and on file. We need Guido Gabriel back!

  65. Our 2 former mayors, and current mayor had and have their strong-points, along with each having soft spots. The position of mayor is a tough one I would imagine. Having the fate of the city in your hands. I didn't always agree with Pattison, but I respected the fact that he was solidly elected by the people who take the time and get out and vote. Same for Tutunjian, who also did an excellent job in my opinion. Different mayors, different styles. The roads still get plowed, the garbage picked up, fires get put out, and criminals get arrested, regardless of who's in charge. Mayor Rosamilia has done some good things since being elected, and has made some questionable decisions also. So run him down, as a few of you do to his predecessors, but respect the man, and the job he has to do. You should all spend less time ragging on people, and maybe lift a finger or two, to make thing better. The past couple of city councils though, were a complete disgrace. Between that Campana, Kevin McGrath, Nina Nichols, Guluski (complete clown), and a few others, they've done nothing to better the city. It seems their only goal is to run the other party down, and re-write the Charter. It's a wonderful city. It's just too damn bad that these political jokers seem to do anything they can to set us backward again. I do have some hope for a couple of the new people --but I'm not holding my breath either. Merry Christmas Trojans

  66. Rumor has it that Kevin is not happy with the "love" that Vito is receiving. Kevin you need to come to grips with a few things. Vito would have crushed you first and foremost. Tom Wade and crew worked against you on both sides and Wade is thrilled that your gone and he's fine with Gordon. You beat feet and placed your tail (reminiscent of the same way your big and getting bigger brother Ed skunked his way out of "raised in the Burgh" for his vote on term limits) between your legs and got out. The most important thing is that Vito will be on the payroll next week with Jim Gordon and you will not. So that means you left on empty promises just like you started. Remember "Vito is the first to go". Good bye disgraced council man you belong with Ed and the way you both pussed out in the end.

    I've heard that you're right from some of the several Officers who were basically treated like dogs by JT in effect forcing them to either take early retirement or just outright quit. Can we say "mission accomplished" with the dismantleing of SCU and an investigation squashed? Then when Tony is brought back JT, throws a temper tantrum, becomes that boy everyone knew as a child who said we either play by my rules or I take my ball and bat and go home.

  69. McGrath was always second fiddle to Vito. From the beginning of the Better Burgh Club to the entertainment to Vito's community involvement. It always made Kevin look bad. So bad Kevin even aligned himself with Cox and created the mess on 5th. and 114 th street, just to get back at Vito. Bringing back the Burgh indeed.

    1. You're wrong, Kevin brought dignity and class to the burgh. Hes a real statesman

    2. So it's just a jealousy thing? Foolish for a grown man to act like that. Kevin should have worked with him.

      Delete
    3. Vito threw Kevin's brother Ed out of the better Burgh club that's when the club changed for the better. Enrollment and moral changed instantly once Vito took it over. Just another notch in Vito's belt of accomplishment he has over Kevin and Ed McGrath

    4. You got it backwards. Vito is jealous of the McGraths.

    5. yes --that must be it

    6. Is that why Vito is still there and the McGraths have slithered away? Keep telling yourselves that. Merry Christmas Vito

    8. Dream on, Vito. If you're so sure the burgh loves you, why don't you run? Because you know you'd get your ass kicked, that's why. Better to keep your little Disney princess burgh savior fairy tale alive. Right?
