Late last month, we sat down with Troy Mayor Carmella Mantello as she marked a year in office. Now, the Republican has checked off a major item on her to-do list: after roughly five months, the city has a new comptroller. Mantello announced this week that Jack Krokos (Krow-kiss) will serves as comptroller. In July, the former comptroller, Dylan Spring, resigned after mounting pressure from the Republican-controlled city council to deliver quarterly financial reports. Since then, the administration has worked with several outside accounting firms to deliver those reports to the council, spending more than $260,000 on the services. An incomplete report was delivered to the council in October with Mayor Mantello's budget proposal. The Republican says Krokos’ “knowledge, experience, and deep commitment to the public” will be invaluable to the city. However, minority Democrats have issued a statement expressing their concern over Krokos' lack of municipal experience. I spoke with Mantello about the decision to hire Krokos.
