Remember when Schenectady's government spent the taxpayers' money on necessities (instead of gin mills, theaters, hair salons, hotels, etc)
Remember when the taxpayers money was spent on rounding up drug dealers which cut the violence on the streets. Remember the big drug raid in 1993 which included the arrest of an 11 year old punk drug dealer. and also a relative of Stratton's police chief. But remember how, after spending the tax money on such important things, children were able to go out and play again.
And look today, no money spent on drug raids or going after the gangs. And there are armed robberies at family restaurants in broad daylight in downtown, and along State St, in the midst of bottleneck traffic (bottlenecks thanks to the utter stupidity of the city and county govts--resulting from making the most major thoroughare just a one lane only in each direction), in the midst of all that traffic, in broad daylight, there wree several shootings from cars---a time of day when children are getting off school buses and people coming home from work and other children playing outside.
No money for the big crackdowns on drug dealers and gangs, but there's plenty of taxpayers money for gin mills, hairdo salons, etc, and to exempt the millionaires from paying taxes.
Remember when the taxpayers money was spent wisely, on NECESSITIES and crime went down big time (after that raid in 93). And look now, financially struggling homeowners robbed of their tax dollars to give "welfare" handouts to the millonaires and their non-essential businesses....and crime is up big time.
So what if downtown was kind of dying, Money was spent on neighborhoods to try to make it a safer place to live. Today, no money for the neighborhoods because it's all hgiven to downtown, children are getting shot, people fleeing the city in droves, no one can sell their homes, just not a nice place to live. And even the FEW higher paid people who work downtown are avoiding living in the city, they want absolutely no part whatsoever of living in the city. Even Mr Morris fled the city, took the money from his high paid taxpayer-paid salary and got the hell out of the city.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
How to Prevent or Survive a Monkey Attack originated by:Anonymous, Horses4Ever, Zack, Brett (see all) Article Edit Discuss View History
Watch the monkeys carefully Whether in the remote forests of Bali or in the backyard of some exotic animal dealer, you may encounter a monkey. To avoid bodily injury to yourself or to the monkey, read on for tips on how to protect yourself from any "unwanted" contact. Remember, monkeys have a unique muscular structure, and can possess up to 4 times the strength of the average man because of the amount of lactic acid in their blood.
1Learn that whatever the situation is, never heckle a monkey. They have feelings and get irritated, and they are very instinctive. So if you anger or annoy a monkey it will bite, scratch or inflict other bodily harm upon you.
2Take proper precautions, depending on the situation. Look around and think to yourself, "Is the monkey in a secure enclosure?" If not, "Is there a place where I can secure myself if the monkey were to attack?" Avoid operations where monkeys are on leashes or tied to trees. 3Recognize that even if the monkey is in a cage or enclosure, you need to stay a distance away from the cage. Do not put your hands on the cage, either. Just watch from a distance. 4If you are in a situation where the monkey is not in a cage, you're playing a whole different ball game. Again think, "Is the monkey loose?" "On a chain or rope?" "Within grabbing distance?" If the situation seems safe, proceed to the next step. 5Step back and look at yourself. Do you have food, shiny jewelery, glasses, children or toys with you? If so, you should remove those items or yourself from the situation. Monkeys are attracted things that shine, smell good and make noise, so be aware of what you may be dangling in front of their faces. 6Stay calm in the unfortunate and unlikely event that you are attacked. If the monkey charges you, don't fight back. The monkey can run, jump and climb better than you. Find something to get in between you and the monkey--a garbage can lid, a car or a steel door, anything you have that works. 7Protect yourself by barricading yourself somewhere--a bathroom or building of some sort, your car. Anything safe and secure should be fine. Unless you've really angered or annoyed the monkey, it should lose interest within minutes and go away. 8Notify the owner first and then animal control, but only if absolutely necessary. 9Never get within the monkey's reach. 10Many monkeys roam wild but are frequently in contact with humans. Monkeys like these are frequently taunted by children throwing stones and other objects at them. A good tactic for scaring away a monkey is to pretend to throw something at them or to carry a couple of small rocks to throw at the ground near the monkey's feet. Never throw the stone directly at the monkey unless you are in serious danger.

Sure...this is the way MOST municipalities operate. Well....except for schenectady. They overtax the residents and givethe tax money to those that belong to the 'friends and family club'.
Wanna change things folks? Change party affiliations to the liberal socialist dem party, become part of the friends and family club and change it from the inside out!!! hmmmmmmmmmm!

No one reads your irrelvant posts like this. People are not interested in stupid stories about monkeys. People are getting shot at in the city, neighborhoods are very unsafe, taxes are going up while services are going down.
Why don't you address the post.....look at the FACTS, the UNDISPUTABLE, UNDENIABLE FACTS DV......when tax dollars were spent in the neighborhods, the city was a far better place in whcih to live. Today all the money is spent on downtown and people are fleeing the ciyt, it is NOT a safe place to live.

DV just CANNOT address the issue. He spews out stuff that NO ONE will read that has NOTHING to do with the issue.
So, DV when was the last time there was money spent on a huge drug raid in the city?????? Huh?????? When was crime as low as it was when money was spent on drug raids instead of gin mills and hairdo salons.
DO you think taxpayers enabling the drunks is going to lower crime? DO you think teaching lazy girls how to color hair is going to have these girls making enough money to support themselves without welfare? Do you think the maids are getting paid enough to buy house in the city?
Are the drug dealers suddenly saying "oh, look a theater, let's stop dealing drugs and go see a movie"
DV, when is money going to be spent on fixing up the neighborhoods???? Huh?????????
