It is very hard to support local businesses when our county leg's are increasing our taxes every chance they can get. And that they use our sales tax revenue to support the plex....which I don't support. So as much as I would prefer to buy local, our local government makes that choice very hard. Honestly....I would rather give my tax dollars to communities that have a well run government. Example: Saratoga and Clifton Park and Guilderland. They aren't in the 'government hand-out' business.

Other local governments seem to have a handle on the pulse of their communities. NOT SCHENECTADY!!!

Really?....prosperity is always followed by 'those stories' of personal hand outs.......then everyone wants a piece of the pie and pretty
soon the only thing left is the soggy crust.....like the locusts......then the generation/culture changes and we try to put the crust
of yesterday back together.....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
