The Observation Deck

Word from City Hall today is that Brian Powers has been given the nod to become Councilman-At-Large, and that it will be made official at the next Council Meeting on Tuesday.

Now that the all of this is behind us we can move forward.

I would hope.

Congratulations Brian on the appointment and I thank the Council members for allowing me to once again be a part of the process.

Congratulations, Brian!

Best of success to you in this endeavor!

ditto. i believe we have some really terrific people on council and good things are in our future.

This should have been no surprise to anyone. Brian played a huge role in Ed's campaign and it was expected by those "in the know" that he would be appointed. It was as much of a "done deal" as was Pat Corrigan.

This now gives the Mayor a governing majority and no excuse to fail when it comes to the implementation of his agenda. The question is can Powers handle the calls from those who come from outside Clifton Park. Much of the job of a councilman is spent solving the little stuff while sweating the big stuff. I think given the tension of the last election this will be even more critical in the coming years.
