ALBANY COUNTY
STYROFOAM BAN
Albany County has enacted a
selective styrofoam ban:
http://wamc.org/post/albany-county-bans-styrofoam-containers
A court challenge may occur
because the law singles out
establishments that have 15
or more locations nationally.
One could argue this law is
discriminatory.
How about banning disposable
diapers and road salt, which do
harm to the environment?

GETTING THE LEAD OUT?
Congressman Tonko led the battle to
exempt fire hydrants from EPA rules
that would have mandated fire hydrant
replacement because of lead present
in existing hydrants.
http://www.awwa.org/home/awwa-news-details/articleid/1958/house-passes-bill-to-exempt-hydrants-from-lead-safety-law.aspx
What about the City of Albany where
lead water lines from streets to homes
exist?
Perhaps, this explains low voter
turnout in city elections in 2013?
Do "progressives" drink bottled
water?

PEARL HARBOR
72 years ago, on a grey December
day, we heard the news of the attack.
There was no question that America
was at war.
America was insulated then, by two
oceans. Yet, air raid drills became
the norm. Enemy subs lurked offshore
on the Atlantic, while the West Coast
braced for an invasion that never came.
On the home front rationing occurred.
My job was to cut and save metal cans
and tend the vegetable garden. Coal
was scarce. Many winter nights we
went without heat.
America is a very different place now.
Changes in attitudes, demographics
and politics are evident.
We are still at war, but many people
scarcely notice, if all.
Yet, the home front has become the
front line in America's struggle to
survive.
We have a President and Congress
that has failed to secure our national
borders.
Tens of millions of illegal aliens have
invaded our land. Among them, those
that seek to destroy us.
The latter have also arrived via the
legal immigration process, and by
simply overstaying student and other
visas.
Drug dealers, foreign and domestic
disregard our borders, and have set
up operations everywhere in America.
These, and, native born. antisocial
malcontents are the natural allies of
the foreign terrorists who seek our
destruction.
Our Navy has declined to the size
it was at the start of WW1. Yet,
the naval capabilities of our foes
continue to increase.
We have failed to enforce the
Monroe Doctrine. Adversaries
are siting missiles in Venezuela
that are capable of hitting any
city in the U S or Canada.
Recently a ship carrying missiles
was discovered in the Port of
Kingston, Jamaica. Scant mention
in the media.
Our Constitution is under attack
by a President, Congress, and
Judiciary who are violating their
oaths of office to uphold the
Constitution.
The main stream media has
become the mouthpiece for the
self styled "progressives" who
have taken control of government
at all levels, and all branches.
Our Second Amendment Rights
have been trampled under foot.
The so called NY Safe Act rammed
through the State Legislature by
the Governor, this year has, in fact
made citizens of NYS less safe
and more vulnerable to domestic
criminals and foreign invaders.
The 2014 Elections at the state
level and Congressional Elections
may well decide whether, or not
America will stand or fall.
Is the electorate up to the challenge?
The future of America, and all
Americans, are on the line.

DO NOT INHALE?
Air pollution and asthma.

What about excessive road salt
dumped on roads, bridges, parking
lots every winter?
When the salt drys, it become
airborne and mixes with vehicle
exhausts.
Not good for asthma or for
persons on salt restricted diets.
Not good for roads, bridges
street trees or exteriors of homes.
Destroys our ever more expensive
vehicles, brake/fuel lines and tires.
RX? Slow down in bad weather.
Kick the road salt habit. Save
money and public health.
Assignment for politicians. Ram
through a ban on road salt in the
first day of the state legislative
session, just as you did with
the NY SAFE Act (gun control
law) January 2013.
Albany County legislators take
note. Road salt is hazardous to

A road salt ban makes more
sense than your selective

REAL ELECTION
CAMPAIGN REFORM
This Times Union editorial
calls for Governor Cuomo to
champion campaign reform.
Read:
http://www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/Editorial-It-s-reform-time-governor-5024696.php
Governor Cuomo, who has
amassed a multimillion dollar
war chest from special interests
is going to lead the charge for
campaign reform? Really?
The TU cites the key items
on the campaign reform list:
* lower contribution limits
* reining in soft money
* Board of Election overhaul
*a system of public financing
of campaigns
Strike public financing of
political campaigns.
The electorate should not bear
the financial cost of political
campaigns. This would amount
to another tax increase and would
do little to reform campaigns.
The keys to real campaign reform
lie with the media, the candidates
and the electorate.
To begin: campaign time frames
should be shortened.
The media and candidates can refuse
to take the money.
The media should provide equal
coverage to all bonafide candidates
in their own words. Reporters refrain
from injecting their opinions and
editorials boards refrain from
endorsements.
Candidates should present clear
positions on vital issues in their
own words, in writing, on air
and in public forums.
The electorate has the responsibilty
to vote and to cast informed votes
rather than blind party line voting.
Otherwise, campaign reform as
advocated by the TU and others
is just another political scam.

Fred LeBrun hits the nail on the head

Will the STAR and SENIOR STAR

If the Governor plays this card, he
will be more vulnerable to defeat in 2014.
The same is true of state legislators
who would vote for replacing Star
and Senior Star with a circuit breaker
property tax program.

SNAP REFORM NEEDED
In it's present form, the SNAP program
is subject to many potential abuses.
http://www.dailyfinance.com/2013/11/25/food-stamps-insufficient-improve-food-security-diet-study/
The Supplementay Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) needs to be reformed.
1. Restrict foods that can be purchased
to staples, such as, cheese, oatmeal, milk
peanut butter, olive oil, eggs, pasta, dried
beans, peas, potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc.
2. Require SNAP recipients to disclose
if they patronize food pantries or receive
free meals in schools.
3. Require SNAP recipients to prepare
a monthly food budget, to take advantage
of sale items, and to learn how to prepare
low cost, nutritious meals from scratch.
4. Encourage SNAP recipients to buy
from local farmers and farm markets
whenever possible.

DON'T GIVE UP...
For three nights as the moon waxed
full, humped 42 wheelbarrows of chips
and compost to restore the garden plots
where I have gardened for nearly a 1/3

A way to regain one's bearings in a

PROGRESSIVES TAKE
ALBANY AFTER 100 YEARS.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
OF DAN O'CONNELL IS NO
MORE. RIP.
Less than 15.000 city voters voted
in the citywide elections, November 5.
Two thirds of city voters stayed home.
The Progressives took control of
city government - for the next four
years.
City residents have been reduced to
serfdom. The fault lies with the 2/3
of city voters, who failed to vote
November 5.
Control of county government is next
on the Progressive agenda.
Albany, and the rest of Upstate NY
cities are vassals of state government
Gone are the days when a city mayors
were powerful and in control of the fates
of their cities.
Cities are now ruled by the federal and
state governments who control cities
via financial aid that comes with strings
(mandates) attached.

Ballot Propositions
1 through 6
A very plain language
summary:
#1 Allow casinos. My
vote is yes, hoping that
the City of Albany will
be the site of one. Jobs
and expanded tax base.
However, drilling for
NY natural gas will be
the catalyst for economic
revival of Albany and
the Erie Canal-Hudson
corridor.
#2 Yes for extra credits
civil service credits for
disabled vets. They have
earned it.
#3 Yes. Because Albany's
credit rating would be
lowered if sewer rehab
costs were included in
determining the City
debt limit.
Property taxpayers would
pay more, if this happens.
City services would be cut.
#4 Yes. settles outstanding
land title claim in Adirondack
Park.
#5 Yes. Keeps jobs of locals
in Adirondacks where jobs
are few and provides a rare
a rare mineral which is a
substitute for asbestos.
#6 Yes. There should be no
job age limits for persons who
are physically and mentally
fit.

interviewed Albany Mayoral candidates
Portelli, Calhoun and myself, this past
Saturday.

These interviews provide Albany
voters with a basis for making a
more informed choice for Mayor

The Albany Mayoral race of 2013
is a watershed for the City and all
who call Albany home.
Albany is at a crossroads. Which
road to take?
Campaign reform can be achieved
without government intervention
and public financing of campaigns.
All that remains is for voters to do
their part - go to the polls and cast

and
build a refinery to refine the

The Albany Common Council

CAN COMMON CORE
Education is a local-state matter.
Get the Federal government out
of our schools. The Constitution
does not include education among
the enumerated responsiibilities
of the Federal government.
The NY Constitution says that
the State Legislature shall provide
for a system of public education.
Too much power and authority
has been given to the State Education
Department.
Scale back that power and provide
for more local control.
The Governor has no business
imposing a teacher evaluation
system based on mickey mouse
test scores. Repeal this.
Get the federal and state mandates
off our local backs.
The true measure of educated
persons is found in their behavior
their ability to earn a living and
contribute to society by being
good citizens.
Improving the City schools is
an essential element in the survival
of the City of Albany.
Refer to the Sullivan plan for
Education and City schools as
presented in previous posts
on this website. Search Education
and Learning.
Elect me, and with Mayor Emeritus
Jerry Jennings, together, we will
improve the City schools to benefit
all the people of the City including
students, their parents and property
taxpayers.

many Jihadists who are sworn to

And now our fearless Community
Organizer in Chief wants to grant
the whole lot amnesty?
Ironically, before Christmas.
Get the symbolism here?
Whose side is he on? Will the
hapless GOP House cave on this
too.?
If they do kiss your A...... good
bye.
The equally, hapless cast of
Albany Mayoral candidates
haven't a clue.. or the focus on
public safety and security as

Computerizing city employee
time sheets won't solve Albany's
fiscal problems, nor will that
keep us safe.
Politically correct politicians
blind to the realities of our
lifetime, since 9-11, are leading
partyline Lemming voters over

THE LATINO FORUM
Last night the Hispanic Coalition
of NY and LULAC teamed up to hold
an Albany Mayoral candidate forum.
A very nice, well organized event
that gave attendees a very clear
picture of where the candidates
stand on a number of issues.
Hopefully, some of the audio or
video will surface so that city
voters may learn more about
the candidates.
I believe that that WAMC Radio
may make audio of the forum
available.
When the candidates were asked
did they speak any Spanish ? I
answered San Patricios. Blank
looks.
After the forum, I asked each
the panelists if they knew who
the St Patricios were. They did
not.
The San Patricios were Irish
who fought against tyranny
and for freedom of the people
of Latin American Latin
American countries.
Example: Mexico. Listen up-
http://www.songclue.com/video/aIQz3mNxEog
Knowledge of history is a
fundamental prerequisite
for all, particularly those who
look for government to be
the answer to all their needs.
Only one person played
the race card. Would be
candidate Marlon the
Magnificent. An angry, hostile
racist, if ever there was one.
Monica and Nate Lebron
did an outstanding job.

ON THE WATERFRONT
SHEEHAN SPEAKS BUT
SAYS NOTHING AGAIN
http://wnyt.com/article/stories/s3196441.shtml?cat=10114
Why does the media keep giving
coverage to a candidate who talks
but offers nothing of substance?
Just more empty, vague poli-speak!
Developing downtown and the
Albany waterfront requires that
the aging sewer / water system
and utility infrastructure be
rehabilitated to accommodate
increased population and
development.
The 787 elevated maze has to
be torn down before a quake
does the job, or before it falls
down on it's own, being a victim
of excessive dumping of road
over the years.
All of the above is going to
require massive amounts of
money- money that will not
be available anytime soon
if ever.
Yes, there are things that can
be done in the short term:
1. Build a refinery at the Port
of Albany to refine Dakota
oil which reaches Albany
via rail, and which is shipped
via the Hudson River, elsewhere.
This will increase the city
property tax base, add good
paying jobs and reduce the
price of gasoline for the
entire Capital District.
2. Tap into the 765 KV Quebec
to NYC hydroelectric power
line that will be built in the
near future. This line will
pass right through Albany.
Tapping it will further reduce
power costsfor homeowners
hospitals, colleges/schools
businesses, and stimulate the
increase of manufacturing
based on clean, reliable
energy.
3. Approve fracking for NY
natural gas. This will result
in an economic boom for
Albany. The Hudson and
Mohawk Valleys akin the
the economic impact of
building the Erie Canal in
the early 1800's.
This will result in Albany
once again serving as a
major crossroads with
a focus on manufacturing
transportation and tourism.
This will expand the city
property and sales tax base
and provide the needed
funds to rebuild the aging
downtown utility infra-
structure and remove the
787 maze.
4. Build a Quincy type market
on the waterfront and restore
river boat traffic between
NYC and Albany to promote
tourism - get those foreign
tourists to explore the
Hudson Valley - America's
Rhine and all the local
historical sites that Albany
and the Capital District have
to offer.
These things will require a real
leader, with sound ideas, as Mayor
not someone who talks a lot, but
says nothing of substance.
And, an active Mayor Emeritus
Jerry Jennings, who will (1)
lobby the NYS Congressional
Delegation, Governor and State
Legislature to a) remove federal
and state mandates that burden
the city, city schools and homeowners
and businesses that pay the property
taxes to fund the city and city schools
b) have NYS deliver on the PILOTS
due the City of Albany for the
Harriman State Office Campus
and all other city lands occupied
by NYS.
Additionally, Mayor Emeritus
Jennings will be the City Liaison
with all of above, to achieve the
consolidation of city schools with
city government. Create one
property tax roll to fund both.
Return to a K-8 neighborhood
school system , with the Mayor
being responsible/accountable
for the city schools. Mayor
Emeritus Jennings will also
work with the federal and state
education departments to give
Albany more local control
over the city schools, and to
reform the curricula to meet

SHEEHAN SPEAKS BUT
SAYS NOTHING AGAIN
http://wnyt.com/article/stories/s3196441.shtml?cat=10114
Why does the media keep giving
coverage to a candidate who talks
but offers nothing of substance?
Just more empty, vague poli-speak!
Developing downtown and the
Albany waterfront requires that
the aging sewer / water system
and utility infrastructure be
rehabilitated to accommodate
increased population and
development.
The 787 elevated maze has to
be torn down before a quake
does the job, or before it falls
down on it's own, being a victim
of excessive dumping of road
over the years.
All of the above is going to
require massive amounts of
money- money that will not
be available anytime soon
if ever.
Yes, there are things that can
be done in the short term:
1. Build a refinery at the Port
of Albany to refine Dakota
oil which reaches Albany
via rail, and which is shipped
via the Hudson River, elsewhere.
This will increase the city
property tax base, add good
paying jobs and reduce the
price of gasoline for the
entire Capital District.
2. Tap into the 765 KV Quebec
to NYC hydroelectric power
line that will be built in the
near future. This line will
pass right through Albany.
Tapping it will further reduce
power costsfor homeowners
hospitals, colleges/schools
businesses, and stimulate the
increase of manufacturing
based on clean, reliable
energy.
3. Approve fracking for NY
natural gas. This will result
in an economic boom for
Albany. The Hudson and
Mohawk Valleys akin the
the economic impact of
building the Erie Canal in
the early 1800's.
This will result in Albany
once again serving as a
major crossroads with
a focus on manufacturing
transportation and tourism.
This will expand the city
property and sales tax base
and provide the needed
funds to rebuild the aging
downtown utility infra-
structure and remove the
787 maze.
4. Build a Quincy type market
on the waterfront and restore
river boat traffic between
NYC and Albany to promote
tourism - get those foreign
tourists to explore the
Hudson Valley - America's
Rhine and all the local
historical sites that Albany
and the Capital District have
to offer.
These things will require a real
leader, with sound ideas, as Mayor
not someone who talks a lot, but
says nothing of substance.
And, an active Mayor Emeritus
Jerry Jennings, who will (1)
lobby the NYS Congressional
Delegation, Governor and State
Legislature to a) remove federal
and state mandates that burden
the city, city schools and homeowners
and businesses that pay the property
taxes to fund the city and city schools
b) have NYS deliver on the PILOTS
due the City of Albany for the
Harriman State Office Campus
and all other city lands occupied
by NYS.
Additionally, Mayor Emeritus
Jennings will be the City Liaison
with all of above, to achieve the
consolidation of city schools with
city government. Create one
property tax roll to fund both.
Return to a K-8 neighborhood
school system , with the Mayor
being responsible/accountable
for the city schools. Mayor
Emeritus Jennings will also
work with the federal and state
education departments to give
Albany more local control
over the city schools, and to
reform the curricula to meet
the needs of our urban students.
These actions with regard to
the city schools, will end the
flight to the suburbs, and attract
people to move back into the
city and rebuild our city
neighborhoods.
