SHOW DOWN IN ALBANY.
INTOLERANT ACTS AND
INTOLERABLE ACTORS


The Albany City School Board unamiously

approved a proposed school budget that
contains a nearly 4 percent property tax
increase for 2010-2011.

Intolerant Act! Intolerable Actors!

Senior Citizens are getting no COLA'S for
2 years. The Governor wants to deny
state workers a 4 percent pay raised
which he agreed to in a contract. Many
people are out of work.

Nothing less than a zero school property tax
increase is acceptable in these difficult
economic times.

Especially when the school district has
a 50 percent graduation rate and a track
record of waste:

Have voters forgotten this report?

The Common Council and State Legislators
who purport to represent Albany residents
are avoiding what must be done to square
away city schools:

Consolidate the city schools with city government
establish one property tax role, return to a
K-8 neighborhood school system, and make
the mayor and common council responsible
and accountable for the performance of city
schools.

The Common Council is all Democrat. No
Home Rule request to the state legislature
to make the above changes to state law
are forthcoming. Yet the Council passes
resolutions to make Albany a sanctuary city
for terrorists and resolutions calling for
legal rights for radicals who want to kill us.

Intolerant Acts! Intolerable Actors!


The state legislators, purporting to represent
us are all incumbent Democrats. There is
not a real leader, looking out for us, among
the whole lot. They have done zero to make
property tax relief for Albany homeowners
and small businesses a reality.

Intolerable Actors!

Any Albany residents, who pay property taxes
in this city, are fools if they vote for the
proposed 2010-2011 city school budget in May.
They are fools if they sign petitions, in June, to
designate any of the incumbent state legislators
as candidates for re-election. They are fools if
they vote for those incumbents in the September
party primaries and November 2 General Election.

Intolerable Fools?

How many Albany property taxpayers will
show up at the Tea Party Rally, Saturday, April
17, Noon -2 pm , Corning Preserve, with their
zero school property tax signs in hand?
