THE PORT OF ALBANY
Go to:
http://www.timesunion.com/business/article/Photos-Port-of-Albany-makeover-4933877.php
Good move. Now, station a full time
Coast Guard Security unit at the port
and
build a refinery to refine the
Dakota oil coming to Albany via
rail.
This will increase the City tax
base, provide good paying jobs
and lower the prices of gasoline
and home heating oil in Albany
and the Capital District.

What about Albany County and City?
Come on TU - give us the facts
on what illegal immigration is
costing taxpayers here!
The Albany Common Council
passed a Resolution in 2007
declaring Albany a sanctuary city
for illegal aliens.
What about respecting the rule
of law?
Illegal aliens are lawbreakers
who have invaded our land
and who continue to break
numerous laws, including identity
theft/fraud and failure of all
males of 18 years and older to
register for the draft.

"comprehensive" immigration
reform off til next year so that
it becomes a focus for debate

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.

SEWER TREATMENT PLANTS

Don't you think sewer treatment plants

Blowing up a sewer treatment plant
and key sewer line junctures would
soon make a city unlivable - cholera
would soon become epidemic.
Wise up people. The terrorist dwell

immigration policies, failure to
secure our borders, allowing tens
of millions of illegal aliens, including
many Jihadists who are sworn to
destroy America, and all infidels
(that's you)
who fail to submit to Islam.
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
the priority issue in this election.
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 cliff to oblivion.
Watch for coming sales on

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.
Buenos Dias Amigos.
Gracias.

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
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.

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.

GREENER PASTURES
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
Some of the relations went to
remote NewFoundland, where
they found a setting more like
their Cork and Kerry.
However, they traded the
warm Gulf Stream for the
cold Labrador current.
Nevertheless, the remoteness
of this place permits their
culture and heritage to live
on, relatively unchanged.

DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW? source:www.Irishfreedom.net
that
from 1625 thru 1659 between 50,000
and 100,000 Irish men, women and children were
shipped to Barbados Montserrat, Jamaica and
Antigua as slaves. Another 20,000 plus Irish
slaves were sold to English settlers in the American
colonies .
The Irish slave trade began when
James II of England sold 30,000
Irish prisoners as slaves to the New
World. His Proclamation of
1625 required Irish political
prisoners be sent overseas and sold
to English settlers in the West
Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish
were the main slaves sold to Antigua
and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of
the total population of Montserrat
were Irish slaves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest
source of human livestock for
English merchants. The majority of
the early slaves to the New World
were predominantly Irish.
that more than 7 million Irish
immigrants have come to America since the 1600s.
This mass migration transformed Irish society
and played a significant role in shaping American
politics, religion, culture, and economics during
the country's most formative years. More than 40
million people in the United States claim some
degree of Irish ancestry.
Ireland’s population
decreased dramatically throughout the nineteenth century. Census
figures show an Irish population of 8.2 million in 1841, 6.6 million
a decade later, and only 4.7 million in 1891.
It is estimated that
as many as 4.5 million Irish arrived in America between 1820 and
1930.
Between 1820 and
1860, the Irish constituted over one third of all immigrants to the
United States. In the 1840s, they comprised nearly half of all
immigrants to this nation.
that
the preamble to the Irish constitution
reads as follows:
In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from
Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all
actions both of men and States must be referred,
We, the people of Éire,
Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to
our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers
through centuries of trial,
Gratefully remembering their heroic and
unremitting struggle to regain the rightful independence of
our Nation,
And seeking to promote the common good, with
due observance of Prudence, Justice and Charity, so that the
dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true
social order attained, the unity of our country restored,
and concord established with other nations,
Do hereby adopt, enact, and give to
ourselves this Constitution.

Self styled "progressives" have taken

In Albany, Progressives took over the

Progressives are all about control.

Platform of 1864 with the party

DREDGING BOONDOGGLE
Dredging the Hudson River PCB's is an
enormous waste of millions of dollars
and labor which should have been
allocated to rebuilding the aging
utility/sewer infrastructure
of Albany and other river towns.
Modernizing this infrastructure and
taking down the 787 elevated highway
system are essential prerequisites to
redevelopment of Downtown Albany
and the Albany waterfront.
Support fracking for ny natural gas
which will be akin to the building of
the Erie Canal and the resultant
economic expansion of Albany and
the Erie Canal-Hudson corridor that
occurred in the early 1800's.
Build a refinery at the Port of Albany
to refine Dakota oil.
This is where the funds will be found
to revitalize downtown and the
Albany waterfront.

SHEEHAN PANS
CITY BUDGET ?
http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Sheehan-pans-proposed-city-budget-4874267.php
Mayor Jennings deserves praise
not scorn for his 2014 City Budget
proposal which cuts expenses and
spending, no property tax increase
for homeowners, no lay offs of City
workers and 8 million dollars in
the bank.
Sheehan says it is a "terrible budget"
but offers no constructive alternative.
Computerizing employee time sheets
is a job for a time keeper, not a Mayor.
Albany voters deserve to know what
a Sheehan budget would look like
before the November 5 election.
Sheehan left open the option that
if elected, she would go before
Governor Cuomo's Financial
Restructuring Board.
To do so would essentially make
the City of Albany a ward of the
state and throw public employee
unions under the bus regarding
binding arbitration.
The next Mayor of Albany has
to be a leader who will not sell
out city residents and public
employees to a panel controlled
by the Governor.
Dan O' Connell would never
have done so. Nor will
Joseph P Sullivan, as Mayor.
Mayor Jennings will be a welcome
and vital partner in a Sullivan
administration in City Hall.
As Mayor Emeritus, Jennings
will serve as liaison to the
Governor, State Legislature
and NY Congressional Delegation
to obtain the PILOTS due on
city lands occupied by the
State, including the Harriman
State Office Campus; and to
obtain relief from state and
federal unfunded mandates
that negatively impact the
City and city schools.
Mayor Jennings will serve
as liaison with the city schools
and State Education Department
with the aim of consolidating
the city schools with the city
government, creating one
property tax roll to fund both
returning to a K-8 neighborhood
school system and making the Mayor
responsible/accountable for the
functioning and performance of
the city schools. In addition, Mayor
Emeritus Jennings will be charged
with developing an urban curriculum
that addresses the needs of city
students, including a meaningful
adult education program.
Mayor Emeritus Jennings will
preside at most public functions
and retain his weekly radio show
on Talk 1300.
Sheehan can snipe at Jennings.
She can tout her boundaryless
management style, but in the
final analysis, Sheehan offers
no real solutions to the issues
vital to the survival of the City
of Albany and all who call
Albany home.
Security/Public Safety,
Emergency/Disaster Preparedness
Education, Energy and property
tax relief are all addressed in
detail by yours truly.
Straight talk. No vague political
speak here!
Sullivan recognizes and values
the life time of service of Jerry
Jennings to the City and people
