Skip Scirocco Commissioner of Public Works declared a snow catastrophe today despite the unseasonably warm temperatures and the lack of any significant snowfall. Scirocco said “don’t let the lack of snow fool you, my men are working around the clock to rake up enough overtime for a big Pre-Christmas paycheck”. When asked why he was so short handed seeing that no layoffs have actually taken place Scirocco grew angry saying “that’s a hostile question and Bernstein would never talk to me like that” he added that homeowners should not expect to see the same kind of service they had become used to in the days of McTygue and Design . Look I’ve got Eileen Finneran as my Deputy now and she doesn’t know jack shit about snow removal. Scirocco then shocked this reporter by suggesting family pets be used to assist in snow removal. 
I have over 20 years experience catching and training animals both as animal control officer and Commissioner of Public Works, we just don’t want your pets to pick up some of my workers habits. Scirocco then complained that cuts to his fleet maintenance budget have led to many of his vehicles operating with three wheels a situation Scirocco called “unacceptable”.

If that idiot makes Eileen Finneran his deputy a women who has been thrown out of two other departments he won't have to leave the Republican Party he’ll be thrown out. Now I understand what that little coup he led was all about when he tired to have Herrick replaced as the Republican Committee chair.
Scoop:
Skippy just asked the Dems if he can come under their tent.
Naturally, this has put the DEMS back into its usual Cult Wing vs Sane Wing warfare.
Maybe this will be the test of the party's post-election (aka anti-DFC bloodbath) future.
I really don't know if you are making up this crap, or whom you are listing to, but this is not true. Skip never tried to have John Herrick removed. Ileen Finneran is not going to be the Deputy because Pat Design is not going any where, though he does need to take care of some things and will be out for a couple of months. The need for some relief to the tax payers is needed but you do have to feel for the people who are getting laid off. There needs to be a balence between the two, things just can't happen over night.
Funny stuff! You are starting to blossom here. Your site is no longer just the political bickering, of which I am mostly on your side, and that is a plus! Pax, PhilthyRex
The layoffs are official! The work force received their layoff slips. The cat getting a cold one is priceless! Scirroco is an idiot whether he makes Finneran his deputy or not. Although Finneran is the kiss of death. Keehn was alright with Nancy Olin until Finneran replaced her with underhanded politics. Then Kim had Frank Dudla until Finneran pissed on him. Now Scirroco will be the next to crash and burn under her.
The ghost of past commissioners says:
It used to be "Skippy and the Pistons" but with this news about appointing Fingerrnnan, OMG, it would be "Skippy and the Pissed Off Taxpayers" and that is not meant to be funny.
She would be chewed up and spit out, but the DPW crews. Maybe a woman in the other departments, MAYBE even Public Safety, but in DPW???? No way, Jose.
NOW you've done it--
You did NOT include your LEGAL DISCLAIMER!!!
There will be NO stopping the clamor in the streets, the CRIES of the citizenry- "CAT for DEPUTY COMMISSIONER!" What Lazy Old Dog has a chance against this charismatic Cat?
Should Pat Design declare that he has other designs for his future, what Union Benefit package could POSSIBLY beat an orange tabby with NINE lives?
HOWEVER, I take great umbrage at the THIRD photograph in your post. It is irresponsible and it promotes an untruth that does a great discredit to this fine forum. Sir- An APOLOGY is in ORDER HERE!, SIR!!!--
NO self-respecting feline would be caught DEAD drinking a DARK beer, ESPECIALLY a EUROPEAN-style Dark Lager... from JAPAN! You may may be on the payroll of Sapporo, but that doesn't make you any less of a sud-sucking SAP.
Apologize forthwith...
...or the CAT gets a SNOWPLOW.
One of the comments asked if I feel for the workers being laid off. Well of course I do you have been let down by Scirocco who through his unholy alliance with whack job Kim and co. make him and his department the whipping boy of the council. The union leaders let you down as they seriously overplayed there hand and underestimated the public’s rejection for Kim, Connelly and Martin and bet all their chips that they would win election to the council and restore the budget and they fucked up, royally and now the rank and file pay the price. Now I hear Scirocco is playing with the seniority lists to save the jobs of his politically reliable cronies when more senor employees are being canned by an illegal slight of hand.
So if you have received your layoff slip and you feel you’re being screwed by Scirocco sent me the detail and if you don’t want your name used I will guarantee you anonymity. I can at least give you a place to vent your frustration and believe me a lot of people will read it.

Does anyone on this blog have any sense at all. Finnernan is not going to be Skip's deputy.
The sarcasm is great.
Posting the name of a murder suspect was not.
Sorry Kyle York, even in blogger world some common decency should be expected.
You know if the police had a free hand in one night they could eliminate 99% of the crime in this town just by making a few people disappear.But then we'd be a police state, wouldn't we.I have no sympathy when a man gets away with murder and then is appalled that someone might bring it up.
Let me try,
Shawna Sutton is out as Mayor's Deputy because he was behind the layoffs all along. Johnson hates ALL cops and Firemen and he doesn't like kittens either. So because he doesn't like kittens and neither does Frank Dudla, Dudla is replacing Sutton leaving Wirth without a deputy. But ever since the Chief's announcement Wirth actually likes Kim so he is appointing Kim's wife as deputy and bringing back the executive assistant that Ivins fired in the DPS. That exec assistant is going to be none other than Ron Kim himself because in DPS you have to have a relative employed there or you get laid off. Now, Ivins wants in and because he doesn't understand civil service or accounting at all he asked Herrick because he can't think without Herrick's permission. herrick told him to ask John Frank because Frank is herrick's brother-in-law. Ivins wanted Boxley to be his Deputy but Boxley's cool so she stays put. Frank told Ivins you voted for these layoffs, not me so find your own Deputy, just don't pick Finnernan. Finnernan got pissed and filed a lawsuit with Civil Service who reclassified her job as "deputy assistant to Jarosh". So Wirth picked Mike O'Connell. So there it is-
Johnson-Dudla
Frank-Boxley (cool)
Scirocco- ?
Wirth- Mrs. Kim
Ivins- J-Mike
Everyones happy now except Sutton- but she can be a dispatcher when they go to the Sheriff.
There you have it.
Nope, sorry. You have it wrong.
Here is the Real Deal. From me, the Real Deal:
Wirth's Deputy: that homeless guy always sleeping on the benches on Broadway.
Bu admit it: it sure will be an improvement, won't it?
Does anybody out there know what in the Wild Wild World of SaratogaCSI is 6:35 weeping and sullen about? I mean, IF Keehniac Kultists have Killed the Kat...
...I'm krushed, krying and SO konfused.
-Kyle, devotee of kommon decency
It is true Eileen Finneran will once again be a deputy in city hall. There is no know cure for Finneran she doesn’t age or ever leave city employment she will be employed by Public Works for at least a hundred years at which point she will become city historian for another 100 or so.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BUY THAT MAN A WHEEL
Skippy is in the process right now of taking over LEW BENTONS' CONSCIENCE THOUGHTS and then the DFC,Carousel operator Tom Boelert will be the next deputy in DPW...whats' he know about DPW? Whats' skippy know?...There ya go! a whole lot of nothing...Please brace for impact
I have to agree with Philthy, adding that humorous parody can ease the pain of reality and soften the viciousness of some responders.
Lou Benton doesn't have any conscience thoughts.
COULD I HAVE THE CHECK PLEASE!
I agree. Lewie B doesn't have a conscience, the poster must have meant "conscious" 0r in Lewie's case "unconscious".
Just keep me on the payroll, please? Or at least get my wife some no-show job.
