Why are the Governor, his administration, and Albany Mayor Sheehan

 

derailing oil trains?  To be sure safety is important. The oil trains have been

 

arriving at the Port of Albany for many months. The timing of the objections

 

are politically motivated.

 

The flow of Baakan oil to Albany  offers a tremendous economic opportunity for the

 

City of Albany and for local residents.

 

Build a refinery at the Port to refine the Baakan oil.

 

This will benefit the City tax base and help close

the City 16m dollar budget gap.

 

City homeowners and businesses will benefit from

real property tax relief.

 

Reidents of the City of Albany and Capital District

 

will benefit from high paying jobs, and

 

lower costs for gasoline and home heating oil.

 

Be safe, NOT stupid!                                           Joseph P Sullivan
