Guilderland’s town board has adopted a $50.7 million budget for next year, a spending plan that climbs about 6.3 percent over this year’s budget and pushes property taxes higher across most of the town.

Brace for off-the-rails DSA lunacy as Albany goes bluer than ever

Rosie O’Donnell says last week’s Election Day lurch to the left could prompt her to return to New York from her self-imposed political exile in Ireland. Meanwhile, billionaire business leader, jobs producer and philanthropist John Catsimatidis says that if New York politics gets any crazier, he’s pulling out of the state entirely. Getting O’Donnell while losing Catsimatidis — that’s a lousy trade. But it could happen, because New York’s newly elected Legislature, along with a governor emboldened by her 20-point trouncing of her Republican rival , is set to pursue a slew of far-left initiatives that will leave voters poorer, less safe and less free. As Catsimatidis said last week at a Gatestone Institute lunch, the left is replacing common sense with nonsense. Say goodbye to any semblance of a two-party system in Albany: Democrats will have veto-proof majorities in both houses of the Legislature, holding 111 out of the 150 seats in the Assembly and the largest majority in the Senate since 1846. The Working Families Party, usually a mere ballot-line vehicle for left-wing candidates to grow their vote, has pulled ahead of the expiring Republican Party — with 34 endorsed candidates in the Senate and 65 in the

Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?
