Schenectady needs more forceful leader
I fully agree with Mary Mc-Claine’s June 6 letter to the editor. In addition to the defects and mistakes pointed out in Ms. Mc-Claine’s letter, I believe that Mayor Gary McCarthy is not the forceful mayor the city of Schenectady deserves. He does not have adequate control over the departments and staff under him.
I ask, has Mayor McCarthy done or said anything concrete about the deplorable condition of our city streets? It is now June, and one can still lose a car in the potholes.
The potholes are just one example of his ineffectiveness.
The mayor is quick to criticize taxpayers about property code violations, yet, does nothing to change inefficient departments and staff under him, over which he supposedly has direct responsibility.
I think it is about time we consider a new mayor for Schenectady.

Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
