Schenectady should impose a commuter tax on city employees who don't live here. Better idea than wasting money on stinking parking meters like we already have to try to gouge some small amount of money from some innocent, unsuspecting motorist who drops in. What do you think? We already have some sort of bizarre support for "user fees" for city streets, this should go over big, right?
This should correct a problem that was overlooked in that other cities might ignore the exodus of city employees (Stockton), but they don'tlet said employees demand fancy automobiles to leave in. Other cities also don't put rogue cops back on the payroll to get their twenty years in while they drag out a phony investigation as long as it takes. The tax should help us undo some of the damage wrought through neglect of city business in favor of taking care of the few, over the years.
They'd have to go to the legislature, but since McCheese asked the employees pretty please would they mind going by the rules and they basically told him to shove it, he should show us that he is really on the residents' side as he should be, by undertaking this bold initiative.
If at first you don't succeed, you are supposed to try again, not give up and start thinking of new ways to nickel-and-dime the homeowners. |

The DEMS are thinking about a $250 "inspection" fee on businesses in the City. New meters to chase away shoppers. These morons can't even run a Arts Night which despite endless puffing by the Gazetto is now done. Time for a stroll like in old Firenze?
