Making History: I've been appointed Vice Chair of the Albany County Legislature's Finance Committee and Chair of the Personnel Committee.

The Albany County Legislature votes Monday night (Dec 4) on proposed 12% pay raises for three assistants in Comptroller's office, boosting them to more than $108,000 a year. This throws the pay scale out of whack for all county employees. Two new, unneeded positions have also been added to the dept. Speak up to oppose these moves that are unfair to other county employees and taxpayers!
