WHAT CAN ALBANY VOTER CAN EXPECT IF THEY
ELECT JOE SULLIVAN AND THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES
November 7. Updated, corrected 9/20/17

Voters can expect law and order, actions to restore fiscal
solvency of the City of Albany. Changes in trash collection
and recycling,  repeal of the trash tax, as well as  snow removal.
Citizen involvement and responsibility in emergency/disaster planning .

City Court Judges that will   uphold the Constitution, in particular
Second Amendment including issuance of pistol permits to
qualified, law abiding citizens, and stay to interpreting rather than 
making laws.
  
 Law and Order - Exec Order #1  Repeal Sheehan Order with Sullivan
Order declaring Albany IS NOT A SANCTUARY CITY . Directing APD
Chief/Officers to cooperate with ICE in enforcement of all existing U S
Immigration Laws . This will restore 10's of million of annual federal aid
dollars to Albany thereby restoring fiscal solvency and a balanced   budget

Legal, vetted immigrants and migrants who can support themselves, learn
our language, who obey our laws, intend to assimilate into our culture and
become productive, proud to be American citizens will be welcome. Those who
who do not,  who practice belief systems which are hostile and in conflict
with  our Constitution, laws and culture, those who are hositile and intent
on doing us harm-are not welcome here.

The APD will aggressively act to keep our streets and neighborhoods safe
Assaults, robberies illegal gun violence, burglaries, vandalism, pan handling 
and anti-social, unlawful behavior shall not be tolerated.

Orderly, peaceful protests will be allowed. Violence, property damage, looting
obstruction of traffic, disorderly conduct , desceration of our Flag and public
monuments shall not be allowed


Exec Order #2   Set City speed limit of 25 mph on all City residential streets.
Direct APD to strictly enforce speed limit and all V&T Laws including no
passing on right, no running red lights/stop signs  and repealing Red Light
Camera program. This is a priority public safety/quality of life issue

Zoning ,Executive Order # 3  Immediate   Six month Moratorium  and
full review of Rezone Albany Retroactive to effective date of 
said Rezone Law enactment May 15. 2017, in
contemplation of amendment and full repeal, reinstatement of Sec 375 Code
in effect prior to May 15, 2017 with particular emphasis on  no mixed use
development in single residential family neighborhoods . Houses of Worship
so defined- no institutional classification as in Rezone, no mixed use or
privatizing of Albany Municipal Golf Course  and no grandfathering in
of non conforming uses as defined in the Zoning Code prior tp enactment
of Rezone Albany. Restoration of green open spaces formerly designated
in purpetuity as results of the efforts of Buckingham Pond/Crestwood NA .

This will restore fiscal solvency by preventing destruction of home values,
quality of life, and property tax in primes residential neighborhoods that
pay the lion's share of the property taxes that support City schools/government.

City WATER SUPPLY
Executive Order #4   Security of  City reservoirs to guard against acts of
terror, sabotage and to protect actions aimed at  protecting water quality 
averting algae blooms and full all contracts/arrangements of water sales with
to local municipalities with the aim of sustainability of the City water supply
and  water sale rates equal  to what City residents pay.

Emergency/Disaster Preparededness . All City departments, agencies will
prepare coordinated responses to natural and  man made disasters , preventing
and dealing with terrorism. The general public will be expected to do the same..
Government, alone can't save us, we have to save ourselves and our government.

Appointments all incumbents willing to cooperate with, and further all new
policies of ths Sullivan Administration may apply for continuance.

1. Richard Stack Conservative Party Chair will be my Chief of Staff

2. I will ask former Mayor Jennings to accept position of Deputy Mayor
or Mayor Emeritus to be responsible for:
a) acting as liaison with the Governor and Legislature  to:
 a1) obtain annual 15 million POLIT payments from NYS for Harriman
State Office Campus
a2) Consolidate City schools /City government, establish one property tax
 roll to fund both, return to a K-8 neighborhood Albany school system,
making the Mayor responsible/accountable for operation/performance  of
City schools. Replacing the School Board with a three member administrative
panel of Gerry Jennings, Ed Trant and Jerry Spicer (all former principals)
and making   curriculum  and changes to state law that will allow for more
local control of city schools for a new urban education model.
a3) perform all mayoral ceremonial functions and press functions. The result:
improved learning, graduation rates, order in the schools, ending the lottery
system, return to neighborhood schools which are best for kids, parents, disciplined
learning settings to aid troubled kids with behavioral/learning problems. And
it will end a city within a city property tax burden of 250+million school budget
for City schools and a a 180+ million City budget. Thereby lifting the property
tax burden on homeowners and small businesses.  A major reform needed for
more effective education and a major role in restoring fiscal solvency and long
term balanced city budgets.
