Democracy In Albany

There is plenty we can do.  You claim to be a business person.  I'm sure you can I could find $1,000,000 worth of salaries in city hall that we could cut in no time.   Next stop DGS.  The Water Department, etc.  Useless patronage jobs need to go.  

And the police and fire unions are going to have to start to address reality.  Our city can't afford them.  You admit as much.   Seems like Schenectady just saved a bunch of money by "managing" their police overtime.  Brilliant, huh?

How about we just sell the golf course, for starters?

There is plenty we can do.  There is plenty Jerry can do.  There is plenty his new head of DGS can do.  But people like you want to sit around for years when smarter people than you were telling you it would happen, and then when it happens say "what could we possibly do?  Nothing.  And if we don't pay the cops the black people will scare everyone away"

That, quite simply, is the real problem.  We all know there is a problem.  You offer no solutions.  Only attacks on people who say we need to work to fix the problem.   You claim to work in business.  I'm surprised you aren't embarassed to write what you do.
