Comments on: Hear Hoblock and Mahan From Friday on TALK 1300 http://blog.talk1300.com/2009/10/29/hoblock-and-mahan/ Official WebBlog of WGDJ-AM Sat, 23 Jul 2011 12:06:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Pat Murphy http://blog.talk1300.com/2009/10/29/hoblock-and-mahan/comment-page-1/#comment-4575 Pat Murphy Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:13:35 +0000 http://blog.talk1300.com/?p=1054#comment-4575 Paul and Melody -- I just wanted to complement you both on the job you did this morning on the interviews with Paula Mahan and Mike Hoblock. I wasn't able to go the the debate, so this was very informative. I think it shed some light on the fiscal issues in the Town. If you're interested in opinions from listeners, I think Mike seems more qualified and I iked what e had to say. The Town still has financial problems. I appreciate that Paula isn't increasing our taxes this year, but given our problems, it seems like a political gesture and we know we will pay for it next year. Plus, my guess is the Moody's won't like this budget and we'll end up paying more with another downgrade in our bond rating. Paula's approach is not disciplined.

As a Colonie resident, I was really impressed with Mike Hoblock and his view for our Town. Thank you Paul Vandenburgh for assisting voters this year in learning about the candidates. \ In my opinion, the choice is clear in Colonie that is why I am voting for Mike Hoblock!

THe Dollar amounts alone would eliminate the present deficit. Why have we not hear another word about the investigation, and 18 months later, were is the investigation?

Why? and was it just for last year? will it go back dow? also ask both: Why do Colonie residents have to pay taxes with all the busnisess on Wof Rd and Central Ave anyway? We should have very little tax to pay. Thank You Bill P Colonie Please ask Paula Mahan:
