There needs to be some sort of extra help for Albany period. The amount of people that come into the city, use its resources and roads that don’t live here, is exponentially more than other similar sized cities in the state. The state needs to put more money into its Capital city and make it better, it’s the capital!

we pay thruway tolls, we pay local restaraunts for meals. this whole thing is absolutely nonsense when so many of us work for the state. also would this somehow be a weird long way around charging employees to work for a "company"?

Comrade Alex :
Albany has at least 66 flock cameras as of Sept of this year. each ALPR (10 of the 66) costs roughly 3000 per year to operate. there's 30k, plus the 40k in cost to purchase cameras. this doesn't even include the other 56 cameras, plus the other companies that undoubtedly also have cameras in the city. maybe start by getting rid of the surveillance tech, instead of charging the people who make the city (and state) run.

I was told I can’t work from home because I need to go to restaurants to support local businesses. Now I need to support local Albany businesses and pay extra in taxes to do so.

This is how you know we have too many unelected bureaucrats sitting around at desks all day, trying to figure out how to generate more money so they can give themselves a raise! If they can’t fix a problem, they will tax it more SMH

Most state assembly and elected officials “work” but DO NOT LIVE in Albany. Are they down to paying extra for a place where their local leaders suck???

And another point,what about the people who work for the state, who pay $60 a month to park in a parking garage OWNED by the state!!! Why isn’t the state going after big corporations and their tractor trailers and trucks that beat the crap out of our roads on a daily basis? Our cars are not doing that damage. But all the big tractor trailers that are owned by million and billion dollar corporations are!! what a💩 show! SMH

Albany lawmakers’ last self-enriching raise (2026!!!!!) made them the highest-compensated state legislators in the nation… but working people need to make up the difference? Sick of govt officials lining thei pockets and creating deficits then asking everyone else to cover their failures. If anyone else did this poorly at their job, they’d be fired instead of a 25% raise they voted for themselves.
