ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS  SAFE IN  ALBANY?

Albany County Legislator Sam Fein  is sponsoring

proposed local law "R" which would:

* ensure no county agency assists in federal immigration

enforcement requests, or questions people on the street

over their immigration status and

* would include exceptions for county social services

programs that require proof of citizenship.

Fein wants immigrants to know that they are "safe"

and that they don't have to worry about local law

enforcement investigating their citizenship status.

Fein is not honoring his oath of office to uphold

the Constitutution.

We need a local law to remove the likes of Fein from

public office.

Albany City and County need to  work with  federal

authorities to secure our borders from illegal aliens

and those  who remain in country after the expiration

of their visas.

All illegal aliens should be required to register at their

local post offices. The County board of elections should

verify that only  U S citizens are registered to vote

and voting in elections.  The Albany County Social services

office should verify that  non- citizens not are receiving benefits.

The first responsibility of local elected officials is the

security and safety of the citizens who elect them to office.

BUCKINGHAM POND- CRESTWOOD NA

In June 2017   The Albany Common Council, at the request of
Mayor Sheehan repealed the existing city zoning code and map 
replacing with a new zoning code and map: Rezone Albany    

The repealed former zoning code restricted single family zones uses to single family dwellings and houses of worship thereby
protecting neighborhood residential integrity/quality of life, home values and the neighborhood property tax base which 
supports City schools and City services.

Rezone Albany permits fast track mixed use development in our neighborhood which will  adversely impact neighborhood
residential integrity/quality of life, increase traffic volumes on
neighborhood streets, negatively impact home values, the property tax base and support for City schools/services.

Review the Rezone Albany  zoning districts, regulations and
permitted uses posted on our face book page.

WHY A MORATORIUM
ON REZONE ALBANY?

In June 2017 Albany Mayor Sheehan
rammed through a compliant Common
Council a new city zoning code known
as Rezone Albany.

The City of Albany is identified by the\
 NYS Comptroller's Office as being in
serious fiscal distress.

The Mayor presented and the Common
Council voted to approve city budgets
that were not balanced (2017 and 2018)
depending upon 12.5 million dollars of
state aid each time.

Rezone Albany permits "mixed use"
developments in the former R 1B zoned
single family residential neighborhoods
which make up the tax paying base that
pay's the lion's share of property taxes
which support City schools and City
government services.

Mixed use development directly diminishes
the residential integrity, quality of life, home
values and  city tax base putting Albany on
a fast track to fiscal insolvency.

The Mayor and common Council have
declared Albany to be a sanctuary city
which will result in Albany losing millions
of dollars of annual federal aid in the
coming years.

Add to this an influx of non-English
speaking , unskilled  refugees who
do not share our culture and  who are
not likely to assimilate into our way
of life.

Albany has an already high poverty rate
and dependent population. Adding more
poor people who can not pay their share
of taxes to support themselves and the
services they require, such as schools
health care, an so on, only adds to
Albany's fiscal insolvency.

Add two major problems that impact
city solvency and quality of life:  (1)
a land fill closure  posing a problem
of where and how to dispose of wastes
at a higher cost to residents, and
(2) an aging city sewer system which
requires massive expenditures to
deal with existing structural and
pollution problems.

That Albany is on the fast track to
becoming Detroit on the Hudson is
the inevitable conclusion.

Beaver Creek treatment plant proposal
for Lincoln Park:

Uptown Albany residents pay attention.
Repayment of 45 mill plus loans /interest
will ultimately fall on your property tax
bill bills in the future.   While your at it pay
attention to the Coeyman's land deal that
was to be a safety valve for closing of the
Rapp Road Albany Landfill.  AND watch
out for the coming city trash tax extension .

You really didn't think those large blue
wheeled recycling bins were for free-did you?

Hudson's theme song:

Who are Albany officials supporting
for Governor this year?

Incumbent Andrew Cuomo or 
Cynthia Nixon?

 http://wamc.org/post/nixon-says-clinton-s-loss-inspired-her-gubernatorial-run

Or, former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie
Miner?

Would it not be wise for Mayor Sheehan
The Albany Common Council
and those who purport to represent Albany
Taxpayers in the NYS State Senate and Assembly  
should unite behind Governor Cuomo's  reelection
bid without delay?

What do Albany homeowner-taxpayer voters
say?

Maybe Siena will conduct a poll?

If the City of Albany receives an 15 million
dollar annual PILOT (payment in lieu of
taxes) to compensate Albany taxpayers for
the Empire State Plaza. 

Isn't is reasonable that the State of New York
should compensate Albany City taxpayers
with a similar annual PILOT for the 
Harriman State Office Campus?
