I believe that Jimmy T. wants to keep this issue away from his hand picked surrogate, George Amedore Jr.
I'm sure deep down he still believes that the arbitration route is the way to go, but he doesn't want a Koisur sex offender bill repeat to get in the way of his guys chances. Surely the dems would jump on that. Forget doing the right thing, Jimmy didn't do it the last time around. I guess he and George will do the right thing for the wrong reasons, and thats ok.
To thyne own self be true, Jim. What a time for Spitzers Libido to get the best of him. I hope Patterson will veto this bill.

Shame on Sen. Farley. The same politicians that say they want to lower property taxes are responsible through passing this type of legislation for raising property taxes. What a conundrum, but of course they are experts on that.
The Schenectady PD is out of control, and will continue to be out of control, as long as our elected officials acquiesce to these special interest groups. Stratton and Bennett should have taken a stronger stance on this continued theft of service by city employees. Their comments on this bowling alley incident did not show this, and I was disappointed.
It will be interesting to see how Tedisco and Amedore vote on this issue. I have a pretty good idea, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
