CERMAK: Taxpayers chip inMarv Cermak, Covering Schenectady

If you receive a "Happy Birthday" greeting from Mayor Gary McCarthy, chances are you paid for the card plus its mailing and processing cost.

The mayor says his office staffers send out between 500 and 600 mainly birthday salutations a year. That estimate also includes sympathy cards and congratulations acknowledging success in various categories such as graduations, promotions, births and so forth.

McCarthy conceded city taxpayers were absorbing most of the expense involved in the "mail from the mayor'' department. However, he said he couldn't come up with any exact cost figures on short notice. He guessed about a quarter of his office's $1,000 annual postage budget covered the cost to mail cards.

"The mayor's office incurs ceremonial expenses for awarding keys to the city, proclamations and the like. The cards fall in the ceremonial classification," he said.

McCarthy said frequently people ask him to send an appropriate card to one of their friends. He insisted the cards were not intended just to get him votes at election time. He did agree the mailings were good political PR.

    Me and my family and my extended family and their extended family are privileged to be honored on our birthdays, anniversaries, jubilees, and many other auspicious occasions and milestones in our lives, by the great Mayor McCarthy.   The renaissance continues its march forward.




Oh brother

Inflatable ladies and farm animals are not considered extended family by most people.

DVOR makes it sound like his family has had dozens of milestones since McGluttonous came to power.

what a STUPID STUPID STUPID WASTE......no really....STUPID

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
