"The mayor and his team are doing a wonderful job"
"The city is improving"
"Metroplex is a solid investment"
"The best is yet to come."
The silence is deafening
OPEN YOUR EYES. THIS IS WHAT YET TO COME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was published April 17 (Obviously the persistent whining of a certain poster, stating the FACT, the TRUTH, that the mayor has violated state law has resulted in something positive for the taxpayers of the city -- so the taxpayers can see the results of their forced investment in downtown)
And let's not forget less than 3 weeks ago:
And then of course there were these tons of deed transfers last summer when these people lost their homes:

Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
According to my City Hall informers the City legal department is about to finalize 600 tax foreclosures, throwing families into the streets and further tanking City resale values. This is the outcome of 40 years of DEM featherbedding, PILOTS for connected millionaires and refusal to cut any useless program. My advice to the hundreds of property owners with for sale signs in front of your homes-TAKE ANY OFFER before the end of the month. The shrinking City tax base is shrinking again but don't worry you can pay more -No? This applies to all County property owners because the effects will be devastating for everyone including renters.

City: Schenectady lawyer resigns over foreclosure cases
By PAUL NELSON Updated 12:24 pm, Tuesday, April 8, 2014
SCHENECTADY — An attorney for the city has resigned after officials said he missed a key filing deadline for legal paper in foreclosure cases.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Frank Salamone's last day was Monday, according to his boss, City Corporation Counsel John Polster. Salamone had been with the city for about 15 months and was being paid about $60,000 a year.
Polster said Salamone left the counsel's office after missing a deadline that will slow the city's ability to foreclose on tax-delinquent properties.
"There were some untimely filings related to the foreclosure process," Polster said.
Mayor Gary McCarthy said: "I expect people to maintain high standards. If you can't do that, I encourage them to pursue other options in their career. "We want to do things right. We want to do it right the first time."
Salamone could not immediately be reached for comment.

And how many MORE foreclosures will happen now that the casino site is found to be very dangerous for living there, and the city will probably have the taxpayers pay to clean it up.
Notice how the mayor's cheerleaders are SILENT. Very embarrassig to comment

I can only hope that most of them JUST WALKED AWAY!!!! This is GREAT!!! It's at least one way to cut the flow of money off to the corrupt powers that be.
Under normal circumstances....this would appear to be a disaster.....in schenectady....it's the ONLY way to shut the monetary faucet off!!!!
Now everyone stop shopping in schenectady county so the METROPLEX/GILLEN will also run out of steam!!!
Sorry folks......Schenectady has to crash and burn BEFORE it can be rebuilt.
