Schenectady Mayors and Manager Clash Over City Governance
In Schenectady a mayor and city manager clash over control of government. Mayor Samuel Stratton, elected 1955, accuses City Manager Arthur Blessing, a 55 year old Republican, of undermining reform while Blessing defends a full time professional administration. The dispute centers on the police department, city organization, and a multi million dollar operation, with Str a ton portraying the plan as a backroom power grab and Blessing arguing for needed expertise. The battle underscores partisan tension in local governance and recalls the 1936 governance framework.
