All of the churches and all of the taxpayer supported non-profit organization together can not change the scum in the city that the liberal socialists have invited to schenectady.
They need to LOWER the lucrative welfare package. They need to do an extensive audit of all dss recipients. (even the dss workers know that folks who collect don't even live in upstate ny. Hell there are folks on welfare that live in other states!!!) They need to beef up security/police force!
Unfortunately, while the liberal socialists were busy taking taxpayer money to line the pockets of the 'friends and family' club just to garner votes, the city went to sh!t!!! Now the city can't even repair the decaying roads!!! OMG!!
It will take decades to undo this mess! The new administration will have their hands full trying to fix this!!
And hey....anyone been through rotterdam lately? I saw a couple of homeless looking guys walking up and down the streets with shopping carts on garbage day!!!! Blight on Broadway and Altamont Ave. No going shopping after dark! YUP....the city has now entered into the towns!!!
WAKE UP FOLKS!!

Murder suspect pleads not guilty Lawyer says police have the wrong man in Eddie Stanley's shooting death By Paul nelson, Staff writer Updated 09:07 p.m., Friday, January 13, 2012
SCHENECTADY — The 31-year-old Brooklyn man arrested for allegedly gunning down Schenectady High School basketball standout Eddie Stanley at a house party of mostly teens last year pleaded not guilty Friday to second-degree murder and several other felony charges.
James Wells appeared with his attorney, Frederick Rench, before Visiting Schenectady Judge Richard Giardino and was sent back to jail without bail. Outside court, Rench said police and prosecutors have the wrong person.
"Mr. Wells didn't shoot the young man," he said, adding "it was a crowded party."
The indictment and Chief Assistant District Attorney Philip Mueller offer a different version of the deadly night of June 12. Wells is accused of deliberately shooting Stanley, a popular 15-year-old sophomore, five times after accusing the him and other youngsters at the party at 730 Bridge St. of stealing or hiding rental car keys he or his friends had misplaced.
The indictment alleges Wells, who along with friends from Brooklyn, were informally providing security at the gathering, threatened to strip-search the males and females after the keys went missing. Then, without warning, Wells pulled out a large-caliber handgun and fired "multiple shots at close range within the crowded interior stairwell, endangering the lives of the guests other than his intended target, Eddie Stanley," the indictment said.................>>>>..................>>>>.........................Read more: http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Murder-suspect-pleads-not-guilty-2514456.php#ixzz1jRF2QWHj
Charges dropped in slashing that followed shooting at party BY STEVEN COOK Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Steven Cook at 395-3122 or scook@dailygazette.net.
She was accused shortly after the gunfi re incident of slashing the party’s DJ as the DJ tried to get paid. The case had been close to trial, but as prosecutors revisited witnesses and investigated further, they felt they didn’t have the evidence to sustain the charge. The DJ was cut in the chaos, Mueller said. He dripped blood from the scene to a nearby house, where he described the slashing and identified Nesbit as the slasher, Mueller said. But whether it was the chaos surrounding the almost-simultaneous shooting or just that no one was looking at the slashing, authorities found no other witnesses to the slashing. The alleged victim also later was charged with making a false report to police in an unrelated case, undermining his credibility, and he stopped cooperating with prosecutors altogether. The memories of the witnesses who heard the DJ describe the slasher changed. And hair that could have corroborated part of the DJ’s original story did not come back as matching Nesbit. “The bottom line is, because of signifi cant changes in the evidence as we did further investigate and prepare for trial, we concluded that we could no longer represent to the jury that the proof rose to the level of proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” Mueller said. Nesbit was represented by attorney Lauren Mack. Mack said Friday that her client was happy about the dismissal. “She’s very happy,” Mack said. “But she’s just upset that it took so long, because she did spend 90 days in jail on it and it’s been going on for about a year now.” Mueller has described Wells as a drug dealer and Nesbit‘s boyfriend. Stanley was killed early June 12, 2011, at a party at 730 Bridge St. that quickly turned chaotic after Wells and friends accused the partygoers of stealing a set of rental car keys. Though Nesbit was cleared in the alleged slashing, she still faces charges in an unrelated case of check forgery. In that case, she faces one count of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, a felony, and petty larceny, a misdemeanor. She is accused of passing a forged $901 payroll check at the Eastern Parkway Price Chopper on June 10, 2011 — the day before she threw the party that ended in Stanley’s death, Mueller has noted. The woman accused of slashing a man in the chaos that surrounded the unrelated killing of a 15-year-old boy saw the case against her dropped this week. .....................>>>>.......................>>>>....................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01002&AppName=1
