Todays Gazette..B1...top page. Seems like Hull is backpedaling and is trying to say the City made out with Union's charity. Charity??? Hurt all of us when tax base goes down. Thanks Mr. Hull.

Pay school taxes and pay Tuition to for Catholic Schools?? My parents did for 16 years. I know of the better education but just cannot afford it. It's true it's below the cost of what a public school costs per pupil, but majority of people cannot afford both taxes and tuition. I think I give enough to the Church already. They should give me a break on tuition also. Only then they would see the enrollment go up.

Readitdaily: Are you here just to bash me? When did you move? Before Al or after Al? If you didn't realize it this article was about Al moving to a sales position at Metro Ford. So you really have nothing to say about Al? Thanks for the feedback. Oh ya. Talk with your County Legislatures about not getting anything. All I know is I pay big taxes and now get rewards. What has your Representatives done for you, other than not ask for money? :-)

Ya win win!! He screwed Schenectady before and he will do it again selling you a car in Schenectady. "His tenure in office was marked by some of the city’s darkest days, from a corruption scandal that brought shame to the Schenectady Police Department to a fiscal crisis that dropped the municipal credit rating to the lowest level in the state." Thanks for the deficit Al.....
"Jurczynski’s administration, however, also had its successes. The city’s failing downtown began to turn the corner with an influx of office buildings and streetscape improvements, and the steady migration of Guyanese he aggressively encouraged helped increase housing values in some areas of Schenectady." Ya and all the tax incentives he did for the Guyanese are gone. He screwed them too!!! If it wasn't for Metroplex, Downtown Schenectady would not look like it does now. Nothing to do with the previous Mayor.

They did pass a new Vegetable for NYS. That's hard work, isn't it? Should be up to parents. If they care to be parents rather than baby factories.
