Sound Off: The 'Burgh needs instruments

Tuesday, October 2, 2012

The Lansingburgh school system music department needs music instruments. Would former students and anyone with unused instruments please donate to the music department?
Just wondering
The Rensselaer County Men's Amateur Golf Tournament collects about $25,000 in entry fees. Where does that money go?
A great job
Kudos to 30, 33 and others for continuing to beautify the Coolidge Avenue Hoosick Street embankment garden.
City should pay
As far as the city code that the police do not have to pay for the damages done to that person's car. I don't care. He didn't have his sirens on, he didn't have his blinkers on. He didn't have his horn on. Even witnesses said he didn't have any of that on. And he admitted that he was in the wrong.
She is a hero
What a wonderful article in the Sept. 28 Five Questions about the Hugs for Heroes. She is a hero. I remember when my nephew was in Afghanistan and we sent him package after package and he couldn't wait to get them. Thank you, you are a hero.
There's enough already
I understand there's going to be a blood drive at Berlin Central School. From what I can see there's enough blood shed at the school board meetings already.
We're broke
Let me see. Albany County is broke. Albany County taxpayers are still paying for the Knickerbocker Arena. Now they're adding millions more to buy the family courthouse. Add in another $71 million for a nursing home and operate it at a loss. Whatever that figure may be. And then add in the cost of a new convention center. Is this what they call unfunded mandates?
