This is just another example of government waste. There really is no demand currently. All they are going to accomplish is the elimination of 26 parkingspots in the county. Charge your prius at home and stay there.

why dont you people run for office or go to meetings and voice your opinions? venting here does no good for the residents of the city, put your energy into action. if there were as many people at the podium at a meeting saying the things said here, things could change. ACT

How about the wall st protest, or anti frackers. Oh guess there turnouts were over reported. Good work liberal garbage Gazette.

Linda is right. There is very little retail in downtown Schenectady. No variety what so ever. Sorry to see Rudnicks close. Best of luck and thanks for the years of service and memories!

Did anyone really think that Philip Mueller would loose this case. On a bad day he's better that any criminal defense attorney in this area.

My opinion of the recent purchases of huge ammounts of ammunition, rifles, and armored vehicles by Homeland Security, aka Obama Administration:
The administration is afraid, that as they continue on their course of doing what they please and citizenz be damned, that when the citizens disagree, rally and protest the tyranny of the government, the administration will have the ability to forcibly put down any resistance by the population. Why else? Any civil unrest in any given State should be able to be quelled by that States National Guard, called out by the govenour of that state. Not good enough for "Big Brother"

There's a special place in HELL waiting for him.

Brian Gordon needs to take a look at the real cause of gun violence in not only New York but the entire United States. The only individuals suffering from this new and possibly illegal legislation are the law abiding citizens. Governor Cuomo has not put millions of New Yorkers in a position where their legally owned guns are now illegal with no way of making them compliant with the new law. This law was passed in the shadow of darkness and is a direct violation of state legislative law. I would expect Mr. Gordon to do anything outside of the norm for a New York Democrat and follow the governors lead on this issue. This isn't a case of a legislator doing what right for the people he represents but a politician doing what right for himself and his party.

ms. moore should research the income tax info for mr. damon to complete the story, wmarncic should stop reading and commenting on all these "made up" stories. hows colonie?
