INHALE THIS

The Albany City Council is concerned about you inhaling second hand smoke.
Their solution: more legislation.

What about the air we breathe? It contains a blend of emissions from vehicle
exhausts, chimneys, clothes dryers, methane from city sewers and clouds of
dried, airborne road salt that hang over Albany every winter and spring.

Add to this, the emissions from the U Albany Nanotech facility at Fuller Rd
and Washington Ave. Recall the emissions from the nearby, now defunct
NL Industries stacks?  Most of Albany's population lives downwind from
both sites.

The Albany City Council is just blowing smoke because their reelection
is approaching in 2013 and they have to attempt to justify their existence.
