City Finance Commissioner Will Not Seek Re-Election in 2021

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Five-term city Finance Commissioner Michele Madigan announced this week she will not seek a sixth term when Saratoga Springs elect their next City Council in November 2021.

“In the past nine years, the Finance Department has accomplished much for the city we all love, and we have much to be proud of,” Madigan said, in a prepared statement. “It is time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life.”   

The finance commissioner is charged with presenting the annual city budget, which this year is seeking to adjust to a near $7 million shortfall, due to what councilmembers have referred to as “this COVID economy.”
