In what can only be described as a near debacle for all of the candidates involved this evening and a complete waste of time for the public was tonight’s candidate forum at the Saratoga Springs High School sponsored by the League of Women Voters.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
First of all, the moderator from the LWV’s wasn’t even familiar with ANY of the candidates and admitted as much at the beginning of the evening. But what made it worse was the series of inane and unfocused questions presented by the public. Even Kyle York who can usually be counted on at city hall meetings to provide provocative commentary disappointed this evening by asking a question about city employee’s and their residency requirements. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The candidates on the panel evening were Edward Miller, Anthony Skip Scirocco, Richard Wirth and Kevin Connolly. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One resident named Marion asked the absurd question about what ‘the code’ during racing season was regarding property owners in the vicinity of the Saratoga Racecourse on whether or not the city council members would be collecting the money for parking from property owners. (this was implied)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I think its safe to say that Marion doesn’t live anywhere near the racetrack so she need not concern herself about it. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The most embarrassing blunder from Scirocco this evening was that he said, “It’s not a good time to be in involved.” [in politics] <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Excuse me Mr. Scirocco, when would be a good time to be involved in politics? I will be asking you on Monday when I interview you. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The normally likable Ed Miller seemed agitated and unfocused. At this point in the game he can not afford to be unfocused. As a horse trainer he should know how to focus his energy so he does not appear to be like a wild colt. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When asked about the South Side Rec. Center, Kevin Connolly said he would consider selling the property to the YMCA or a private entity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 Richard Wirth set him straight with the wittiest comment of the evening by saying,” I think you need to think about who that property belongs to.” <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For those who don’t know, the South Side Rec. field belongs to the public.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I was having trouble keeping myself awake during this meeting and I don’t think I am alone here. I welcome thoughts and comments regarding this meeting.<\/div>\n
