Proctor's is a taxpayer money pit. They need constant taxpayer infusions to keep on the lights. Despite his hot air the quality of Channel 16 has tanked since he took over. Now they want to unplug Schenectady Today? The Gazetto should be ashamed they actually supported this takeover.
Schenectady Today is probably one of the worst television shows in the world, but \Morris should release his financial records. He has driven the finances into the ground, and he walks around like a god telling how many thousand people come downtown now. The bottom line is Proctors went too far under his misguided leadership and my guess is that it will eventually bring down the City Dems when people stop donating to his money pit and they see that he ruined a good thing. Ask around, the people that support Proctors are nice to him but there are rumblings of a change in the Guild room.
"Improving SACC" by bringing in more Laroche/NPR type shows? Schenectady Today is like watching paint dry but it is locally produced. The thing about the big shows is the huge cost of production-if they break even it's a good thing.
Morris is wasting thousands on mass mailers and self promotion. Proctor's is a financial sinkhole-hopefully the hatred acquisition of Key Bank for a socialist banquet hall will be his last straw. Even City DEMS are furious at another building yanked off the tax rolls.
Proctors isn't the only company lining Morris's pockets. There's more - and more handouts in other "ventures" ... wait for it, the news is coming soon.
As long as proctors is being kept afloat with taxpayer's money, there should be no problem seeing the financial records.

First he tried to build a Power Plant to pay his bills...FAILED, then he tried to do meetings to pay his bills....FAILED, now he is trying to steal State School AID, Public Access Fees, and Wedding Business from local restaurants.....Any predictions?
Another hilarious editorial in the Gazetto demanding that the SACC hand over the $100,000 to Mercury Morris. Now they can't make the promised improvements? lol. How come after 10 years of alleged "renaissance" a huge building on "revitalized" Broadway only goes for peanuts and the only bidder is another non-profit? Take another look at Van Vranken Avenue.
Bravo The Source, MT and BT. Morris' next trick is opening a new public high school for the Arts. So what if it will increase City school taxes dramatically. Charter school-evil/Morris/DEM Arts school Good? After the idiotic purchase of Key Bank {again for $150,000} you would think he would concentrate on running the theater efficiently.
The taxpayers are giving 'cancer stick' morris his dream!!

Once his Empire grows he will bail. He will never stick around to face the music LOL! He has swindled the Gazette Editorial Board and a lot of Schenectady County Residents but he is so far in the hole.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
He got your tax dollar and you got the shaft. He can't run a TV station, a catering hall, or 3 theaters. Now he's proposing oil cleanup solutions (no joke). You'll pay and pay. I expect him to win some leadership award for his abuse of the taxpayers. Then he'll exit stage left to off off Broadway-lol-
And nobody says nuthin. It's unbelievable how the Gazetto editorial board keeps defending him. Must get free tickets to Tony and Tina's Wedding.
What nonsense-what a taxpayer ripoff. SAD-SACC/TV and Proctor's two money pits becoming one money pit! Did you hear the one about the Krat run TV station that no one watches? Say Schenectady County!
From 3/09-The same time that the Gazetto was saying Bravo! to this outrage.
The best thing is you have big government morons on both sides fighting for the $100,000 from Time Warner cable fees. That's how desperate Mercury Morris is for more honey. The Gazetto, Proctor's and SACC-TV should all be ashamed of this performance. Keep fighting and making fools out of yourself. We will get more popcorn-this is a delightful summertime fare.
Morris' OSM can't even broadcast the City Council meeting. Constant fade outs, cuts to the Scotia parade especially when the many critics attacked the arrogant rubber stamps and Metrograft. At least SACC-TV could do this correctly, Does the Gazetto still think this is a "great idea"?-lol
It is like watching TV in 1981 in the USSR. That is a dreamworld for democraps. They want us to be under a dictatorship and they prove it by the way they tamper with the meeting tapes ALL THE TIME!
