WOW? RESIGN!

The February 9 Albany high
school spending plan vote is
exhibit A of voter fraud.

Read Times Union article
today, by Bethany Bump
wherein Albany School Board
President Bruce is quoted
as saying " Wow..."


 http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Albany-Scotia-Glenville-Troy-have-school-votes-6817215


The entire Albany City School
Board should resign!

Merge the city schools with
Albany City government.

Create one property tax toll
to finance both.

Index the property tax rate
to the high school graduation
rate.  

50 percent graduation rate?
Property taxes reduced by
50 percent.

Return to K-8 neighborhood
schools.

Make the Mayor and Common
Council responsible and
accountable for the operation
and performance of city schools.

GET AN ORDER
TO SHOW CAUSE.
WHY THE FEBRUARY
9 VOTE SHOULD NOT
BE IMPOUNDED AND
A NEW VOTE HELD
PRIMARY DAY APRIL
19, 2016
The Albany School Board vote
today, Tuesday, February 9
asking City of Albany voters
to approve a flawed 180+
million dollar spending plan 
for Albany High School is
exhibit A of how to rig a
vote to achieve a desired
outcome for the spending
plan proponents.

The School Board (District)
conducts and controls the
election, coordinates absentee
ballots ,reduces the number
of polling places and holds
the vote on  an an obscure
date in winter when roads
and walks are slippery.
 
The School Board is a political
spawning grounds for the
"progressive politicians" that
now control the school district
and City Hall.
They know their vote base and
get them to the polls.
The same "progressives" who
supported candidate Teachout
in opposition to Governor
Cuomo in the last Gubernatorial
primary.
Now, these "progressives" are
begging the Governor for a
bailout to close a 12.6 million
dollar (or more) gap in the
current city budget.
Are "progressives" stupid?
In addition to being arrogant
control freaks? 

Meanwhile, these same "progressives"
are forcing another vote on
an ill conceived high school
spending plan.

Albany voters rejected the first
attempt to pass the high school
spending plan, in the November
2015 General Election.

Homeowners. When your roof
leaks, do you tear down your
house and take out huge mortgage
to build a bigger and better house?

Highly unlikely!

Voters, including homeowners
small businesses and apartment
renters will all pay more taxes
and higher rents, after the
City reassessment Notices go
out March 1.

Add, to this the uncertainty
surrounding where the City 
will get the 12.6 million dollars
to close the current budget
shortfall.

The Mayor has said that layoffs
service cuts and a 22 percent 
property tax increase are the
options, if the 12.6 million
dollar current city budget gap
is not closed.
What a lesson in civics, fiscal
responsibility and government
all of the above, are setting for
students in the Albany City
schools! 

Now, for a lesson in judicial
oversight.

An Order to Show Cause 

1. Why the February 9 vote
    results should be impounded
    including the ballots and
    lists of those who voted at
    each polling place.

and

2.  Why the vote on the 180*
     million dollar spending plan
     should not be rescheduled
     for Primary Day, April 19
     2016.

     When the weather and voter
      turnout will likely be better

     and, when voters will have
     received Notices of their
     likely property tax and
     apartment rental increases

     and, when voters may know
     the fate of efforts to close
     the 12.6 million dollar gap
     in the current city budget.

As for today,  a resounding
"NO" vote must be made by
every homeowner, small
business owner and every
apartment dweller who is
eligible to vote.

LET ALBANY VOTERS
DECIDE  APRIL 19, 2016 

The Albany City School Board
should put two questions on the
April 19, 2016 Presidential
Primary ballot.

1.Shall the 167.1 million revised
   Albany high school renovation/
   construction plan be  approved?

    Yes ___     No___

2. Shall the contract of  Albany
    School Superintendent Vanden
    Wyngaard be renewed?

     Yes ___     No ___

Why April 19 ?

1. April 19, is Presidential Primary
    Day in New York.

2. All city polling places will be open

3. The Albany County Board of Elections
     (not the Albany City School Board)
     will conduct the election, including
     counting the ballots and coordinating
      absentee voting .

4. April 19 is Spring, the weather will
    be better.

5. City property reassessment notices
    go out March 1. Homeowners and
    apartment renters need to know
    how  much their property taxes and
    rents will increase before being asked
    to vote on the high school spending
    plan.

6.  Superintendent Vanden Wyngaard
     can present her case why her contract
     should be renewed directly to city
     voters.
   
    

These factors will result in a maximum
 informed participation by all 
 eligible city voters on April 19.

ALBANY, NY CITY CONSERVATIVE PARTY COMMITTEE 

For Immediate Release                                                               Joseph P Sullivan, Chair
 5 January 2016                                                                            438 5230


                       SULLIVAN URGES AN APRIL 19, 2016
               RE VOTE ON THE ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL
               RENOVATION/CONSTRUCTION PLAN

Albany voters defeated the 196 million dollar spending plan which was on the November 3, 2015 General Election ballot.

The School Board has scheduled a re vote on a scaled back
169.1 million dollar version of the spending plan for February 9, 2016.

Sullivan, in an interview with Bob Port and Cynthia Pooler
today on Focus on Albany  challenged the Albany School
Board to hold the re vote on the 169.1 million dollar High
School spending proposal on Primary Day, April 19, 2016.


http://www.focusonalbany.com/radio-interviews/item/410-a-follow-up-discussion-about-the-vote-on-the-albany-high-school


This will allow for a maximum city voter turnout because
of the Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries.

It will save the expense of the February 9 special vote
and the Albany County Board of Elections will tally the
results including absentee balloting.
