And then there is another excerpt
Quoted Text
Lisa Morodo of Schenectady goes to Bethesda House once a week for a meal. “Everyone complains about New York’s high taxes, but because of those high taxes the state is able to help people like me,” said Morodo. She said she moved to Schenectady from New Jersey in October of 2009.
And the cheerleading for the dem socialist government funded city (at the expense of the working homeowners) continues. ROFLMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Working class out-welfare class in. Then the DEM morons ask why there are 2 shootings in 3 days and no one can pay their tax bills. No wonder Rotterdam, Glenville and Niskayuna all had their County votes watered down. The rapid down spiral in the City continues. Rotsa Ruck Metrograft "leaders" in bringing in high end retailers with the new demographics. Where's Mexican Radio?
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Let's see him provide any proof that well-off upper middle class self sufficient families are buying a house in the city AND to live in it. I can't say middle class because the middle class can't afford the taxes

Upper middle class? lol. Oh yeah, they are lining up to buy property near Proctor's. So they can walk to the matinees and put their kids in the City schools. Anyone listening to the comments at City Council realizes that the sheeple have finally awoken. Attacks on Metrograft, Banker Karen Ha-Ha's appointment, OSM "coverage", the lack of ANY retail Downtown, horrid condition of the streets and sidewalks. But don't fret City taxpayers. Acting McCarthy and his rubber stamps have more taxes and fees planned. That should turn things around-from terrible to pathetic.
Schenectady leaders are so similar to the bottom feeders who abuse the welfare system - both mistakenly believe that they are entitled to use the taxpayers money without accountability. A complete audit of the welfare system needs to happen and for those people who illegally receive money or services they are not entitled to, they should be sent to jail. These people are taking away from those who truly need help and are stealing taxpayer money.
The City also needs to end taking the taxpayers money to fund pet projects rather than helping the neighborhoods which are in complete states of chaos. Metroplex and the City Council have proven that they are unable to bring jobs or decent businesses to the City. Schenectady taxpayersknow you have failed and no matter what McCarthy tries to do to win in November will be in vain.
Bob Farley has been calling for an audit of DSS for 5 years. It gets nowhere because the DEM majority refuses to support it. Peeps from The Bronx opening a mailbox in stunad Schenectady County where no one ever does a home inspection. Too busy opening new cases from The Bronx. When was the last welfare fraud case in this County?
All the DEMS care about is the friends and family club and feathering their own nests. Cousin Vinny DeSarbo was a classic case. Supported every idiotic tax, fee, lob hire, Metrograft bozo and then blasted off before the end of his 3rd term for Saratoga County. He couldn't get the hell out of this mess fast enough.

This is what I've been saying for years. Our leaders are too busy playing urban planners (a job for which they have zero qualifications) and trying to establish some new fancy areas for people to live in, ignoring the fact that we have plenty of people willing to live here if the crime and taxes weren't so bad. I suppose too many people make money off of the poverty industry (rehab centers, slumlords,not-for-profits, etc.) for any politician to stand up to it. Not-for-profits pay some people some juicy salaries, at taxpayer expense.
Wow, Madam X - you nailed it big time! The POVERTY INDUSTRY, which has its international HQ at the DNC, has many local offices ranging from the AFL-CIO to SEIU and other left wing organizations, is all about THE POWER.
