The City of Troy, New York, "Where Henry Hudson Turned Around."

NEWS DROUGHT CONTINUES

Sorry folks but Troy seems to be in a lull when it comes to fun political news. This happens from time to time, especially a few months after an election. Once a new mayor and council takes office there is a flurry of activity and then, once they've shot their load, things settle down for a time.

The City Council will propose a law that will require a hearing and a two-thirds vote before any water or sewer money can be transferred to the general fund. The funds have been raided by Troy administrations since 1998. Fine. Whatever.

The Troy School District is proposing over $20,000,000 in repairs and upgrades. Eighty-five percent of the money will come from the State. The remainder will come from existing funds. They aren't even threatening a tax hike. What the hell?

People are being far too reasonable lately. It is disconcerting. Maybe Bill Dunne was the problem after all. See you next week.

Why does there seem to be a news blackout on the death of Bill Chamberlain?

Can't give her name and perhaps sleeping overnight in public building is not a crime per say but rather bad judgement

Did he or she stay the night

Good point 11.27. Have not heard anything about the Chamberlain case or the girl found in the river.

Yes. They are both still dead.

Maybe because they want this air-tight before they indict.

Mccashion is desperate to get a job at Talk 1300. It will never happen. Funny to watch, though

It's odd city hall smells like shrimp dip these days

12:38 AM, Vandenburgh could never be that desperate. If he hires McCashion, it's time to hang the sign on the door "out of Business"
