Saratoga Springs Accounts Commissioner Dillon Moran told area news media that he had initiated an appeal of Supreme Court Judge James Walsh’s recent decision, which ruled that the legal bills he incurred in the criminal investigation of the city’s on-call pay affair were not eligible for reimbursement by the city.
In yet another replay of the Kuczynski mess, where he and the Saratoga Springs Democratic Committee failed to submit the proper paperwork on time to get Hank Kuczynski on the ballot for the DPW special election, Moran has missed the deadline to file the required papers for the appeal. Moran had thirty days from July 15, 2025, to file his notice to appeal.
According to Saratoga Springs Republican Chair Mike Brandi, “Moran has now permanently lost his right to appeal Walsh’s decision.”
I have observed Dillon committing these kinds of errors during his two terms in office. It sends a chill that if he can miss deadlines like these, imagine what problems within the Accounts Department may eventually come to light.
Saratoga Springs Politics 
this form of government obviously doesn’t serve tax payers. If the democratic committee cannot find competent, ethical and sober candidate for offices there are only two possibilities. Either no one of competence is willing to run. Or the committee is politically corrupt in their choices. We tax payers need a normal form of government. We pay more in law suits, whether Republican or Democrats, than we pay to enhance the economic future of our city. What happens when all of the snow birds don’t come back and racing no longer helps our economy? Like the planning board our city council has ceased to plan for snything but the immediate. And not particularly well for that unfortunately. Both party’s are at fault.
