NOT SMART
Back the opponent of the incumbent
Governor in 2014 Democratic Primary.
He wins. Now expect him
(and state taxpayers)
to bail you out of a 12.5 million+ 2017
City budget hole resulting from your
failed policies, priorities and excessive
spending.
http://www.timesunion.com/7dayarchive/article/Sheehan-launches-push-for-Capital-City-Funding-10953971.php
Yes, NYS should make annual payments
in lieu of taxes for all land in the City of
Albany used by NYS.
It has been said that God helps those
who help themselves.
What can you do? Resign from office.
Or make drastic course corrections in
your behavior, policies, priorities and
spending!
1. Declare Albany is not a sanctuary city
and that you will cooperate with and
support existing federal immigration
law.
2. Albany has a high poverty rate among
citizens. It is folly to welcome more
people to the city, and county, particularly
unskilled, non English speaking illegals
and "refugees" who do not share our
culture, love for America and political
heritage.
They wind up on welfare and become
a burden to local property taxpayers
who have learned that the city schools
will need another half million dollar
budget increase, ( and how many million
more every year, thereafter?) to provide
a school and staff especially for catering
to the non English speakers.
Remember the January 10 2017 school
propositions that were approved \
by a vote of 2,000 (your supporters)
to 600?
You told us that approval would not
result in any increase in property taxes.
3. Consolidate city schools with city
government. One property tax, not
two, to fund both. Assume responsibility
for the operation and performance of
city schools. Index the property tax
rate to the graduation rate. Return to
a K-8 neighborhood city school system.
4. Do not extend the recently enacted
city trash tax to single family homeowners.
5. Scrap the failed red light traffic camera
boondoggle
6. Eliminate all the money spent on
consultants for all sorts of policies
and plans, such a rezone Albany.
7. Inventory all the land in the city
occupied by not for profits. Consider
taxing those, whose activities, are
detrimental achieving City fiscal
solvency.
These are just a few of the options to
restore fiscal solvency for the City of
Albany that should be explored in the
2017 elections for Mayor Common
Council President, Treasurer, Auditor
and the 15 Common Council Ward
seats.
Oh, remember this song as you
endeavor to restore the City of Albany
to fiscal solvency....

TIME FOR ALBANY
CITY DEMOCRATS
TO CLEAN HOUSE
The 2017 Albany City elections
offer enrolled party voters the
chance to restore the party of
Dan O Connell.
Citywide and ward offices are
all up for election.
Will local Democrat voters rise
to the challenge or
will Albany become
Detroit on the Hudson?

IDEOLOGY, LOVE
AND COMPASSION?
As a property tax payer
in the City of Albany it
is difficult to feel valued
and loved.
Read: the City School
District website:
http://www.albanyschools.org/
The Acting Superintendent's
letter did little to reassure me.
1,700 school district employees
17 schools, 9, 600 hundred
students, 57 languages spoken
by students, a translation link
for those who cannot read
English?
An office of ENL and Refugee
services, welcoming immigrants
and refugees?
There is no need to keep the
current Superintendent acting
while scouring the nation for
a candidate, forcing her to pander
to the ideologically far left school
board.
Kimberly Wilkins is qualified.
Search no further. Appoint her!
Was it in the best interests of
Albany students, parents and
property taxpayers for the leftist
school board to oppose President
Trumps's nominee for Education
Secretary, when the Albany City
schools depend so heavily on
federal funding?
http://www.albanyschools.org/district/communications/DistrictNews/2016-17/Docs/DeVos_resolution_1-17.pdf
How smart was that?
What kind of civics example does
the school board set for students
by holding bond act and building
referenda at obscure times with
reduced numbers of polling places
and voting irregularities?
Remember the 196 million dollar
high school reconstruction bond act?
The recent January 10 referenda
on a 4th middle school?
All school district budget votes
and referenda should be held at
General Elections run by the
Albany County Board of Elections.
The City Schools should be
consolidated with city government
with one property tax roll to fund
both. Albany should return to a
K-8 neighborhood school system.
The Mayor and City Common
Council should be held responsible
and accountable for the operation
and performance of city schools.
Index the school tax portion to
the graduation rate. Abolish the
school board.
Put this on the November 2017
General Election ballot and let
city voters cast their votes for or
against.
Property tax relief and improved
graduation rates would follow
voter approval.
