But Tolokonsky, 66, said she cannot get past how the Schenectady Metroplex Development Authority has changed downtown. She pointed to black and white pictures on the wall that show a seven-lane thoroughfare down State Street, its blocks filled with stores. She feels that retail has been ignored in favor of Proctors theater and restaurants.
"It's time to close the store," said Tolokonsky, ... "The atmosphere in downtown has not been positive enough for retail," she said.
And what has the "democratic voice" brown noser been saying????? Gee, where's your proof????????
The FACTS speak for themselves -- Metroplex under the leadership of Ray Gillen is providing REAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT that is generating increase revenues. Despite the false claims of the ignoramus nayboobs - progress is being made and Schenectady Renaissance continues.
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.
in 7 short years the Democrats the Democrats have DROPPED TAX RATES TO THE LOWEST POINT SINCE THE 1950's and the entire county is in an economic Renaissance -- including Downtown.
THOSE ARE THE FACTS
And of course, the DV provides no amount of proof, NOT ONE TEENY WEENY SHRED OF PROOF, of the dropped taxes.
We've been waiting for proof for over two years and he CANNOT provide it, not ONE TEENY WEENY SHRED OF PROOF.
And now, FOREVER SPEECHLESS about the tax rates, NEVER again will DV make such a FALSE statement!!!!!
