Former Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Public Works in court over alleged misuse of city services

The former Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Public Works was in Saratoga City Court on Tuesday morning.

The former public works commissioner in Saratoga Springs faced a judge on Tuesday.

Jason Golub’s attorney is asking the judge to direct police to search Public Safety Commissioner Tim Coll’s phone for information relevant to the case.

NewsChannel 13 was in Saratoga Springs City Court for the hearing.

As we broke First on 13 earlier this month, Golub and Joseph O’Neill, the current Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Public Works, are accused of using a city worker for their personal gain.

The allegation is that Golub had a clogged sink at home, and that he and O’Neill directed a city worker to bring drain cleaner to fix it while that worker was on the clock.

Golub is due back in court on January 9.
