I'm sure you will just consider it all pissing in a pond.

  1.  Revamp the tax assessment process in albany.  Tax vacant buildings at fair market value, for starters.

  2.  Maybe, with gas at $4 a gallon and Goldman Sachs predicting oil to be $200 a gallon in two years, running a business where you import garbage from a large geographic area isn't a very good business model?   Maybe we should revisit that concept?

  3.  Make buildings and code a revenue generating unit.  This could be easily done.  

The possibilities to save money are endless.  All it takes is a few mildly intelligent people and a will to do it.  Or, we can make more excuses and say "see you next year, I'll have a new excuse for why we are powerless then!"
