I just heard that Jim Breig, the East Greenbush Town Comptroller, has resigned. If this is true, and I hope it is not, we have lost the last "raft of sanity in a sea of lunacy." (To quote a friend of mine on the matter.) This is a real tragedy for the Town. Jim did his best to de-politicize that job and bring financial competence to that office. I fear that the Town Comptroller's position will again be politicized. Just in time for the Sewer contracting.
