please. they closed because they owe the state more than 40,000 in unpaid sales tax receipts, the guy was scamming his employees. check the tax liens , baby.

Right. Metroplex funded Cornells:

$179,000 - owed to ATF (American Tax) for back property/school taxes due to the City
$402,000 - owed to the NYS Business Dev. Corp
$235,000 - owed to Metroplex
$160,000 - owed to the State Dept of Taxation
$92, 272  - owed to the IRS

Leaving over a million owed to the City, County and State and now being bailed out by the Gazette Publisher. Too bad the Fireside wasn't associated with the Tweed Gang, he could have been bailed out too.

Oh now charges of criminality! Hysterical! yeah, if you fail in Schenectady you must be dishonest!

he was stealing, simple as that.. a crook is a crook is a crook. the tax liens go back years. i bet the state tax dept will seize the worthless property now and auction it off. he probably tried to get some dough frommetroplex, but the good servants that they are turned him down because he is a crook is a crook is a crook,. thank u metroplex for looking out for the interests of all of us citizens. hugs

Noooo...Waite wasn't a crook...He was hand picked by the Metro-per-Plex.  Stevie tried his best to get the big hose downtown, and he didn't screw any of the contractors out of money either.  If it isn't in the Gazette it didn't happen.  Just more cheerleading and back slapping.    

what... ever......  waite was an idiot,. he sold his building , i believe he paid off his debt and there is now a better company there.. good work metroplex, thanks once again for helping make schenectady a  destination.

How many times did cornells give their employees checks and were told not to cash them cause there was no money? Did any of those employee's checks bounce???

Tell that to Ed's Electric, and a bunch of other contractors that dirtbag has-been fratboy with Gillen's tongue up his as$ ripped off.

sure, got their numbers?  still a better business there than waite proposed.. not a gin mill right> lol  a solid, taxpaying business right.. what else you got>? still waiting [lol] for the smoking gun that proves metroplex is not helping the county,,, come on joe, u got to have something.,. u been dogging gillen for years and this is the best you can come up with> omg, please, u retired once, stay retired and sell your candies.. btw.. please tell the folks here that the latest business to move downtown, transfinder, bought like $300 worth of your candies and gave it out during their big presser -- so, Gramie, you benefitted directly from that deal, didn;t you? cime clean, dude

Smokey....do a little investigative work and check out the bidding process for the plex. did the lowest bidder always get the job???

bids for waht? these were not contracts awarded out... these were private investments -- waite bought the building and asked for assistance from metroplex. he invested almost $2 million of his own money into it

Transfinders should have stayed on Erie where someone pays taxes on the property.

The only people finding Schenectady a destination are Gillens Rotary friends he gives breaks tax-exempt million dollar property to. Oh, and the intrest-free loans (which Clinton's Ditched $31K from the taxpayers) are pretty damning as well.

How have the City taxpayers received a benefit from supporting the fire/police and plowing, garbage and other municipal services for each Downtown business which doesn't pay taxes? How has that helped our tax base?

Guess you wouldn't know SB because you don't pay City taxes. Take it from me, it's hard for my family to keep paying these over-inflated, triple digit quarterly bills....but you know what, were not free-loading Downtown millionaire scum, we actually pay our bills.

sorry for your troubles, Rachel. I know taxes can be a burden. I hope things get better for u before they get worse
