Ever wonder why Troy keeps getting the same decisions no matter who sits up on the council dais? Why every “debate” ends in the exact outcome City Hall wanted…
Why every vote looks pre-decided… Why the council smiles and nods like everything is totally normal? Well… wonder no more.
Turns out it’s not leadership, it’s marionettes. 
While the City Attorney, City Manager, and Deputy City Manager pull the strings behind the curtain, the council majority just dances along. Doesn’t matter what residents say. Doesn’t matter what firefighters say. Doesn’t matter what common sense says.
The strings get pulled… And the votes fall exactly where the puppeteers want them. And what do we, the people of Troy, get for all this?
Pensions stripped from firefighters IRS letters hidden Reports buried Decisions made behind closed doors A government that’s accountable to everyone except the taxpayers who actually live here
But hey, at least someone’s getting what they want.
It just isn’t you.
It isn’t our firefighters. It isn’t our retirees. And it definitely isn’t anyone asking questions. This cartoon isn’t exaggeration. It’s not satire. It’s exactly what’s happening in Troy, every single day. If you’re tired of unelected bureaucrats running the show… If you’re tired of elected officials acting like props instead of leaders… If you’re tired of decisions being made FOR you, not BY you…
Then it’s time to start pulling the strings back from them, and giving Troy back to the people who actually care about it.
