The biggest joke is on the people who buy the Gazette - they never saw this list. All they get for $2.00 is a link to a website for the list.
Can't even print these lies in black and white I suppose. That would be bringing information to the masses, and what DEM wants that before the election.
PS - Wondering how the Gazetto is going to apologize to the three families who saw the obituaries Sunday with horrific blotches, stains....whatever on the photos of their loved ones. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!

What a rag....
That was the point rachel.....they are half truths being sold to the public. The unfortunate part of any media outlet, is that there is no chance for rebuttal.
The gazetto would have you believe that it is Ray Gillen, Gary McCarthy, Susan Savage and the entire democop party that should take 100% of the credit for ALL of these businesses. Yet they FAIL to inform the readers that kingsway, shoprite, target, golub freezer was a corporate plan for the last few years....with or without the plex. They also FAIL to inform the readers of the 'relocated' businesses (no new job creation) that were paid for by the taxpayers.
It's all election smoke and mirrors! It's a lie!

So for $100 million Metroplex dollars - this is it? FANTASTIC!!!
rachel72,
Much more than $100 million has been spent or redistributed by the Metroplex. The sales tax revenues since 2000 have been $8 to $11 million per year. Add to that the $75 million bond cap that is reportedly nearly exhausted. Then there is the small amount that was repaid by borrowers and/or recovered from those developers/investors who chose not to repay. And, finally, you must include the loss of property taxes from agreements made. The amount of money spent is more likely in the $150M to $200M range.
Another interesting list that the Gazette could (but won't) publish is the list of the highest beneficiaries and their campaign donations to the party in control of the funding and local government.

US Labor Department Statistics- Total County Jobs in 2004- 64,255 Total County Jobs in 2011- 62,512. DEMS LOST 1,743 JOBS.
Tell us again how all of you DEM liars created 4,000 jobs each when the jobs total is DOWN! What a disgrace to Death Ray and the working together idiots. They lied-they got caught and the Gazetto story admits it does not subtract any job losses so it is meaningless. Game-Set-Match.

Less jobs now than there were 7 years ago. That pretty much proves the Metroplex is a complete failure. They can't even keep up with all the businesses LEAVING the county.
They've FAILED in stabilizing the taxbase, FAILED in KEEPING businesses in the County and spent $100 million +++ (thanks Brad for the info) to hurt the taxpayers and keep the neighborhoods as war zones.
The US Dept of Labor Statistic was placed AT THE END of the DEM puff piece...don't worry, I'm sure people saw it............
Under the unified DEM revitalization working together idiots Schenectady County LOST 1,743 jobs in 7 years. According to US Labor Department official data. Not some DEMS liars trying desperately to fool a few voters.

There's no way to spin this. McCarthy lied about job creation and that's why he didn't bring it up in the debate. Everyone is laughing at DEM made up job creation numbers. Government can't create jobs-they can create a positive environment for job creation. This the DEMS have totally failed to do.
Is this the ignorance of the DEMS now..."Well, how many jobs did Roger/Vince/Pat create"...
They're not the 'elected leaders'. They're not the people holding the purse strings. They're weren't the people wantonly spending every single penny of taxpayer money and now have nothing left to show.
As I said, they're not the elected leaders....yet.

They couldn't even print a list in the Gazetto because it's so fabricated, even the editors couldn't stand by its authenticity. HILARIOUS!!!!
