Anyone seen this guy?


I have not heard a word from Brent Wilkes about the city’s 9/11 memorial or any other meaningful thing for that matter. He certainly had enough to say about Charter Change but lately he hasn’t said anything at all. I understand you find our form of Government quaint and antiquated , but until we have the collective wisdom to elect you it’s all we have . So by all means join your fellow citizens at the next City Council meeting if that’s not beneath you.

But if you're still in town and not spending the week in your Massachusetts home could you answer?
1.New Police Station?
2.Your plan to hire 10 cops?
3.How can you pay for this?
4. 9/11 memorial, your silence is deafening?
5.Waterfront Park?
6.Parking deck?

Sunday night I will have my Vanguard Week special issue and you don’t want to miss that. Stay tuned

John, he planned on attending last week's City Council meeting.

But given that he just moved here, he didn't know where City Hall is.

Connect the dots said...

Try Val Keehn’s basement. Last time I heard him speak I swear he was channeling her spirit

Juan Kim said...

I saw him at the Starbuck dinner under Kirsten Gillibrand's dress. Not sure if that's where he lives though.

YOU HAVE MORE BALLS THEN CHINESE PING-PONG TOURNAMENT said...

I saw him last week arguing with Chris Mathiesen, about which one gets the honor of having Eileen Finnegan as their deputy.

PS. The loser gets Lew Benton

Wilkes is doing SOMETHING right said...

I give him alot of credit for keeping this city out of danger. He got Joanne Yepsen to wear safety yellow so everyone knows to steer clear of the biggest disaster in Saratoga.

CONGRATS on getting the ONLY photo WITHOUT his trademark bowtie. Like you JT, I look forward to his unequivocal and 20/20 answers to all five questions. And I would ask no less of our Honorable Mayor.

V-Week on the Horizon!!!!!!
Shall I call the State Troopers NOW...
or wait for you to HARASS them poor innocents?

Where in the world is... said...

Nice of him to put on a neck tie for the big event. Class act.

I hear he's been living in Pat Kane's pool house. The Chinese food delivery boy has some crazy stories to share.

He is funny though. This photo caught him doing his famous fart jokes. Never fails to bring the house down.

You are too funny. How could anyone not vote for Scottt Johnson! Grew up in Saratoga (Jefferson Terrace no less); sold pencils at the track when he was a kid, went to college on a Hawley Home scholarship. I doubt if Brent wilkes knows where the Jefferson Terrace is. He certainly would not underson the Hawley Home reference. Scott has done a lot for Saratoga.

Watch that school bus Lew said...

Next time I see Lew Benton in my backyard counting pine cones I'll ask him where he's been.

Hey Kyle Dork, I mean York:

Against my better judgement, I visited your blog.

Your lawyer called. He has this to report:

Your blatant, wholesale copying of content (in this case: readers' comments) from other websites and blogs is ILLEGAL.

Can't wait to hear about V-Week.

It's amazing how his numbskull followers can't see the blazing irony of the situation where the 'most ethical humble man in the world' (according to them) has a whole week and more dedicated to the celebration of his birthday.

Tributes!

I need tributes!

Cash or virgins, please.

Now, will whoever gave me this stupid grand piano the last time come take it away? I can't play a note and I need the space for my S&M toys.

this blog is like a box of chocolates, never know what you are going to get said...

from the archives:

a great blog post by John on a trouble spot in town

One question. What has Scott Johnson or any of the Republican Mafia running things done about the escalating crime situation on and around Caroline Street? Easy answer--nothing! Nobody could be worse than our current council. Vote them all out.

10:15 and Late for Law School-

I saw your "Lawyer" on TV. It'd hard to be outstandingly stupid in a really stupid COORS ad for their "blue temperature bars." But mannnnn- He ACED it!

And yes, I know your great pick-up line--

"I'm not an internet blogger. I only play one on Saratogaindecline."

Anonymous just got faced (and called out) by York.... too funny. How does one prove that their anonymous comment got ripped off?

York, can you post when they are going to serve you? I want to buy a ticket.

I am not a big fan of Johnson, but this Wilkes dude seems like he is way out of touch... Will it be another "lesser of two evils" election? (Except for DPW, where it looks like no challenger...)
