basilhayden - No plan, No clue, No vision, These four led by FDG will ruin this town before they are through. I find it incredible that anyone can defend this bunch. As far as a business partner of FDG they were refering to Tim Longo who is a custodian in the PD. He was just given a $5,000.00 stipend to become the ACO. Curiously the former ACO/code enforcement officer's job was abolished. FDG and TL buy and flip properties.

I'm confused here.....Longo WAS the code enforcer, but no longer is....correct? So there is no need for a code enforcer salary in the budget.......right???
However.......who the hell is the code enforcer that has been checking out the 'racetrack'?

The firm which you are referring to is under contract to offer advice on bond issues -- not on the budget.

ROTTERDAM Budget proposal slashes salary of assessor in half, trims tax hike BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Justin Mason at 395-3113 or jmason@dailygazette.net.
Assessor Craig Surprise is facing a 50 percent cut in salary, provided the Town Board adopts Rotterdam’s preliminary budget. The amended $20.8 million spending plan proposes to slice the appointed town offi cial’s salary from $66,610 to $33,305. He is one of the only town workers to receive a reduction in pay in next year’s budget. “That job is part time now,” Supervisor Frank Del Gallo said during a public hearing on the budget Thursday. Surprise’s massive cut in pay accounts for 8.1 percent of the $407,000 in cuts Del Gallo trimmed from the spending plan he submitted last month. The cuts reduce the estimated tax increase for residential property owners from 11.36 percent to 7.4 percent. Some of the roughly three dozen residents questioned whether Surprise might sue the town over the pay cut, given the terms of his appointment. Del Gallo doubted that the assessor would. “I don’t think that will happen,” he said. Surprise is completing the second year of a six-year appointment to the position, which oversees a property tax roll of about 13,000 parcels. He was appointed under the Republican administration of former Supervisor Steve Tommasone. Surprise is also involved in litigation with Del Gallo, who has challenged his property assessment for two consecutive years. The most recent challenge filed in Schenectady County Court in late July alleges that Surprise wrongly boosted the assessment of his business and residence despite there being no improvements that would justify such an increase. “Is there a reason that particular salary is being cut in half than personal vendettas?” board member Gerard Parisi said during the hearing. The cut to Surprise’s pay wasn’t the only issue raised during the hearing. Conrad Johnson, the president of Rotterdam’s CSEA chapter, threatened legal action against the town if Del Gallo pushes ahead with laying off two full-time unionized workers. ......................>>>>.....................>>>>.........................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01002&AppName=1
FDG is new to politics and when a couple of attorneys start looking at the contracts for the employees that are to be terminated and the assessor's cut in pay he may find he may have to honor their contracts until the contracts expire.

Eunice's job is apparently 'less' than part time.............does she get a reduction in her salary? If she doesn't get the reduction in her salary because she has a 'contract through election', then rotterdamians would be led to believe that Surprise won't get a reduction in his salary either because of a '6 year legal contract'.
People would have to 'assume' that this decision was vetted through the town attorney's to be certain that this is in fact legal.............yes?

Town attorneys and contract attorneys are as different as day and night and that's why they specialize. The union has a contract attorney you can bet your bottom dollar on it.
GP knows quite a bit about so-called "personal vendettas"....he is the "King" of Vendettas"..... ala "King George" How did that vendetta turn out for you GP?? ROTFLMAO.
In that case he was the "King of wishful thinking" as that song goes.
As to this pay cut, it seems like the assessor got quite a SURPRISE!
