The nayboobs/teapartiers still don't know the difference between "shared services" and "consolidation".... and BOTH can save money if done right.
Shhhoooo! get out! Get out Troll! Scram! Go away...
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Oh, you're probably thinking of Schenectady - they refuse to put anything on line for the taxpayers (building codes for example). Pretty sure Roger Hull will be taking care of that!

Glenville OKs preliminary budget under cap Raises for Town Board questioned, dropped from spending plan By John Purcell As of Friday, October 28, 2011
#Glenville — Any thoughts of lifting the tax cap are gone as the Glenville Town Board approved a preliminary budget and unanimously voted down removing the state mandate.
#Although, the Oct. 5 meeting with residents speaking out against any intention of going over Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s tax cap still appeared fresh in board members’ minds. Before offering privilege of the floor during the board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 19, Supervisor Christopher Koetzle restated, to a smaller crowd, the rules for public comment.
#“We hope that we don’t have a repeat of last week and try to keep this somewhat civil,” said Koetzle.
#There wasn’t a repeat, but dissent over the budget was still expressed by previous board members.
#Former councilwoman Valerie DiGiandomenico said board members have the ability to control costs, but failed to reduce costs through negotiations with town employees.
#Members of CSEA received a 1 percent increase in 2010, with a 2 percent raise this year and a 2 percent increase in 2012. Highway department union members received a 2 percent raise in 2010 and this year, with the same increase in 2012. Also, police union members received a retroactive 2.7 percent raise in 2010 and receive 1.5 percent raises in six-month increments during this year and next.
#“When the town board says it has no control over the mandated retirement costs, I would like you to keep in mind that these contracts are negotiated by the town with the unions, which impacts what the town’s obligations will be,” DiGiandomenico said. “The state is just collecting the debt we incurred by way of the contracts.”.........................>>>>.............................>>>>............................http://www.schenectadyspotlight.com/news/2011/oct/28/glenville-oks-preliminary-budget-under-cap/
