Guilderland Adopts $50.7M Budget as McKownville Fire Levy Jumps 87 Percent

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. The increase comes as employee benefits, particularly health insurance and retirement contributions, eat up a growing share of town spending, while one small fire district faces an eye-popping levy jump tied to a new firehouse project.

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

Expect Albany’s leaders to throw away its $8B Wall Street revenue windfall

Albany just got a windfall of $8 billion — get ready to watch the state’s leaders throw it away. Wall Street bonuses are soaring for a third straight year, not only producing an $8 billion surplus this year, but also slashing the coming year’s deficit by $6.4 billion to $2.9 billion, a gap the current overage can obviously cover. As state Budget Director Blake Washington noted Tuesday, “It’s hard to talk about new taxes when revenues are performing the way they are,” indicating that Gov. Kathy Hochul won’t be proposing tax hikes, but only “presenting a new favorable financial plan.” This explains Hochul ‘s comment to reporters at the Somos junket in Puerto Rico, namely that she’s open to new taxes “if there’s a need.” Where California Propositions stand as votes are tallied: Prop 40 wealth tax, home loan funds and more Of course, that doesn’t rule out a political need. She’s facing intense pressure from Mayor Zohran Mamdani to hike taxes, because for the socialists, the huge amount of taxes the rich already pay is never enough: They must be punished until they flee New York, taking this massive windfall with them. California voters overwhelmingly reject union-backed Prop. 44
