ALBANY. DETROIT
ON THE HUDSON?

The 2017 Albany City
elections will determine
if Albany becomes Detroit
on The Hudson.

Four years of the Sheehan
administration have resulted
in  fiscal insolvency for the
City of Albany.

TABLE REZONE ALBANY
UNTIL 2018. 

UPDATE: The Council did not
consider a vote to Table. Council
Members and the voters have no
read Rezone Albany, nor analyzed
how enactment of Rezone adversely
impacts them, their home values
the city property tax base and support
for City schools/City government
services.

2017  Albany City residents will
vote for candidates for Mayor
Common Council President
Treasurer, City Auditor and
15 Ward Common Council
Members.

Rezone Albany should be tabled
and held in the Common Council
Planning, Economic Development
and Land Use Committee for the
remainder of 2017.

The names, bios and contact 
information for the committee
are available here:

 http://www.albanyny.org/Government/CityOfficials/CommonCouncil/CommitteeAssignments.aspx

Call/write each asking that
they vote to table and hold in
committee for the remainder of
2017 -  The Rezone Albany
proposed ordinance No. 26.31.17.

DO THIS NOW!

City voters should fully understand
the details of the Rezone Albany
plan , the implications of Rezone
Albany for their particular
neighborhoods, how enactment of
Rezone Albany will
impact property values, property
taxes,the City property tax base
and support for City schools and
City services.

Candidates for the citywide and
ward public offices should make
their positions on Rezone Albany
known to voters before June
when voters are asked to sign
candidate designating petitions.

The Rezone Albany issue should
be thoroughly debated before the
September party primaries and
November General Election.

GOVERNOR BAILS
OUT ALBANY M AYOR

Late report is that the NYS budget
will include the 12.5 million dollar
bailout to  close the hole in the 2017
Albany City budget.

Are there strings attached?


Will the Mayor support Governor
Cuomo for reelection in the 2018
Democratic Primary?

UPDATE: Mayor Sheehan failed
to answer this question during the
lightning round of the Spectrum
Mayoral forum, August 17, sayng
"to early to discuss this question".

Translation: just as Sheehan supported
Governor Cuomo's Democratic primary
challenger four years ago, you can bet she
will do the same in 2018.

Do you really think the Governor will
reward Sheehan with another dime of
state aid, to prop her up?

If you do, I have a Hudson River bridge
to sell you.
