Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Finance candidate

In the April 15 edition of the Saratogian, Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Finance candidate Patty Morrison oddly promised to “not pursue office on a third-party line” in her quest to unseat current Commissioner of Finance Michele Madigan.

This will not be a hard campaign promise for Morrison to keep as all nominations for established third parties were completed at the beginning of April, and Ms. Morrison was not able to obtain any third party’s endorsement nor was she endorsed by her own Democratic Party.

In contrast, current Commissioner of Finance Michele Madigan has received the endorsement not only of the Democratic Party but also of the Working Families Party and the Independence Party.

One hopes that in the future Ms. Morrison’s promises will have more substance..
