Tell him like it is Rachael, DV wants to shut Paul V up because he is now telling the world how bad things really are in Schenectady and he has a large audience who listen to him. Schenectady residents must be kept in the dark like mushrooms and fed you know what and they must believe what they are fed.
Right. The DEMS are not interested in any solutions. They are interested in keeping their scandals quiet. Keeping everyone {especially the press} in the dark. Nobody can talk about it and when you do they go postal. Keep reading your Daily Gazetto for the latest governmental gin mill opening and pay up.
If you bother to complain at the City Council/County Leg they laugh at you, text insults and make animals noises into the mike. Bravo to Paul and Al. Keeping talking about the DEM morons who have destroyed this City and County.
Move to Schenectady, start paying the taxes we homeowners do and stop being a hypocrite.
The only hypocrite is you. On one hand you and your ilk claim to believe in the free market and freedom of speech -- then you get upset because I voice my opinion that Mr. Vandenburgh is out of line calling residents of Schenectady morons and you get upset because I am exercising my free market rights to BOYCOTT his business.
I do not need to live in the city to be concerned about the city. I am not going to get into a pissing match with you about what I have done in terms of community service.

Most government officials should 'expect' opposition. There are differences of opinions on just about EVERYTHING. That is what an o pen society is! Unfortunately, the liberal socialists aren't thick skinned enough nor prepared. They start their whining and call any opposition, hate speech or uncivil behavior. Discourse has been part of government since this country's inception!
The modern liberal socialists have lost their ability to confront and handle discourse............so they choose the easy route.........keep everyone in dark. They resort to back room deals and secret meetings. They have lost their ability to govern.
And yes.....the schenectady residents ARE morons. They are the only ones left. All the smart people walked.

DV, what infuriates me the most is that you, along with the Mayor, Gillen and the entire lot of 'leaders' do not even acknowledge that the taxpayers are over burdened, that crime is rampant throughout the City and that people would rather not live or visit the City. It's a complete insult to the intelligence of the taxpayers how you defend incompetence just because you're a Democrat. You're like a blind mouse following the piper - with no direction and no reasoning.
Schenectady has become a laughing stock which directly affects me, as I pay taxes to be here. The corruption from City Hall and the Police Department is practically a weekly occurence and no one is taking responsibility for anything.
If the Democrats keep running the City and the County with brazen ignorance, it will certainly be the downfall of the party. If you think the Republicans have been shunned by the City due to the former Mayor - you really have not seen anything yet.

The Republicans have been shunned because the governed the city and the county during the period when everything went to hell. Schenectady has problems like most Northeastern industrial cities -- it won't get better if folks like you and Vandenburgh are constantly tearing it down. BTW -- maybe you folks should be demanding that Vandenburgh sell his comfy house in Saratoga County and move to Troy (his old home town) or Schenectady --- and spend some time actually working to build them back up again. It is too easyfor him to make insults and shoot his mouth off about the cities and then drive home to the suburbs at the end of the day.

i'm still a resident but if I could sell my house I'd be outta here in a flash. My home is on the hill and I called real estate agents and they were forthcoming and said I couldn't get anything for my house right now, the way the economy is and high taxes. So I'm stuck here until things improve.
I was listening to a national news channel, can't remember which one right now, and a woman was talking about the foreclosures increasing and she said if your home was reassessed within the past five years than you are paying way too much in property taxes as home values have fallen over 30 percent. So I think this May many in Schenectady and all over should grieve their assessments. Hard in Schdy as they have the same old who just rubber stamp insufficient data. : (

For the past 30 years, you can replace "Republicans" in the above sentence to "Democrats". Unfortunately, this is the legacy the party is leaving behind and the refusal to admit or even correct the current problems is adding fuel to the fire.
Instead of listening at City Council meetings the all DEM morons joke, text insults and chit chat with each other. They sit there with the deer in the headlight look frozen to the face and refuse to answer any questions. The best example is Denise Brucker-she demanded that no firemen be laid off. Someone asked her about the $400,000 needed and she ran away. Nothing can improvement until 4 DEMS and this horrible Mayor are all dumped in November. For once there will be many choices.
To rpforpres-SELL. Take your losses now. If you wait things will only get worse. I know this prominent clergyman who is stuck with his property. He's been waiting 5 years for any signs of improvement-meanwhile his taxes have skyrocketed and values plunged. Everything is in free fall while the crew of the Titanic keeps saying "All is well".
Someone should ask DV to move to Schenectady --- and spend some time actually working to build it back up again. It is too easy for him to make endless compliments and shoot his mouth off about the cities and then drive home to the suburbs at the end of the day.

I know some folks who also lived on the hill. They did sell their homes and took a loss. The people who bought one of these homes, keeps it vacant and just uses it for a tax deduction. The only upkeep are the endless number of broken windows they have to replace.

There are people that would probably GIVE him a house if he paid the back taxes. I bet he doesn't really have the resources since being a man-boy living with the elderly aunts leads to not only a very undesirable social life, but a poor ability to handle real world financial problems. Being close to 50 and living with old ladies and trying to become a local tyrant doesn't prepare one for the bucket-of-cold-water in the face being a Schenectady homeowner really is.
