164
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:32,240

165
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,800
DSi DSC coordinated the pre-parade

166
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,880
activities um on November 18th uh dsic

167
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,319
connected Monae with us and we were able

168
00:16:43,319 --> 00:16:47,000
to print an image of the locomotive and

169
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,440
I've got it small here it's going to be

170
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,519
very big and and and larger than this

171
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,399
but that's the locomotive Monae painted

172
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:59,360
it in 1875 because he loved trains and

173
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,759
so the theme of the parade was New York

174
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:03,880
State of Mind and when I think about New

175
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,839
York what do I you know trains and

176
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:09,439
they're built here and everything so we

177
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:11,520
had people give us words and phrases

178
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,039
that were turned into a community poem

179
00:17:14,039 --> 00:17:16,839
I'm just going to read a tiny bit um the

180
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,600

00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,120
steam the train in the snow is red and

183
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:27,640

on 13 of them I am the pro protester in

293
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,279
front of city hall for two years and I

294
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:20,840
will remain there The Daily Gazette is

295
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,720
doing an injustice to the citizens of

296
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,200
skty and the voters and to me personally

297
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,679
how does The Gazette keep valo actions a

298
00:22:28,679 --> 00:22:31,080
secret when he is running for Supreme

299
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,240
Court how does The Gazette keep the

300
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,039
mayor and city council members in Action

301
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:37,279
a secret the mayor is running for a

302
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:39,279
fourth term and city council members are

303
00:22:39,279 --> 00:22:41,960
seeking reelection your reporters report

304
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,600
on speeding and garbage complaints not

305
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,360
mine I most certainly realize that in my

306
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,279
case 20 people didn't die in a limo

307
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:52,080
crash i al also realize that the limo

308
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,840
owner would have gotten off with

309
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,600
community service and a fine if the

310
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,240
first judge didn't retire the judge wouldn't have retired if there

311
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,559
wasn't TV and newspapers reporting the

312
00:23:01,559 --> 00:23:03,880
truth I certainly hope you're not a

313
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,360
party to the corruption and conc and are

314
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,480
willing to print the truth the Times

315
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,520
Union wrote what foto spoonfed them not

316
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,919

response thank you thank you Judy R

320
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,440
Meer Hello I'm Judy wri Meer director of

321
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,960
the Capital District tobacco free

322
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,440
communities and I left a report on your

323
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,600
desk that

324
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,080
summarizes the data from a study that we

325
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,760
did looking at tobacco retailers in the

326
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,799
city of

327
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:42,440
skincity

328
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,919
um the biggest takeaway the two M main

329
00:23:45,919 --> 00:23:48,120
takeaways from this are that lowincome

330
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:49,640
neighborhoods have more tobacco

331
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,200
retailers per capita than higher income

332
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,960
neighborhoods and that those same

333
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,720
neighborhoods have disproportionately

334
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,880
higher number of tobacco retailers local

335
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,080
located near schools we looked at 31

336
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,520
tobacco retailers that were within 1500

337
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,400
ft of schools on one day in October in

338
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,080
the zip codes of 12303 04 05 and

339
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,360
07 um all the photographs in that report

340
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:15,520
were taken at the stores that we visited

341
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,200
stores that violated New York state laws

342
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,159
uh have been reported to the skanky

343
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:22,840
County um Environmental Health

344
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,080
Department um and any other there's some

345
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,919
state agencies that we had to report to for violations that we found the

346
00:24:30,919 --> 00:24:33,520
report is a visual tool of the tobacco

347
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,200
marketing strategies that tobacco

348
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,600
companies use in the city of skincity

349
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,679
briefly I'm just going to you know give

350
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:42,480
you a little overview of what is on is

351
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,080
in that report and I was supposed to

352
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,559
start my timer and I didn't but I'm

353
00:24:47,559 --> 00:24:50,080
going to do it now and stop

354
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,120
me a minute more whatever um so page two

355
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:55,799
gives a background of the tobacco

356
00:24:55,799 --> 00:24:58,080
retailers what they used to do which was

357
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,799
those Billboards and um Joe Camel kind

358
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:03,679
of advertising that's outlawed what

359
00:25:03,679 --> 00:25:06,039
they've instead done now is to do point

360
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:09,080
of sale advertising and marketing page

361
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,120
three shows the location of the

362
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,279
retailers um if you live in a high

363
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:16,200
poverty community in the city of SKC

364
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,720
you're more likely to be exposed to

365
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,240
Tobacco marketing promotion within those

366
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,200
same communities tobacco retailers are

367
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,600
more likely to be located within 1500 ft

368
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,279
of one or more schools um there's a good

369
00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:30,720
um piece at the end that summarizes the

370
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,520
distance in the different neighborhoods

371
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,720
of SK of skinc County the different

372
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,760
towns of SKC County um in the

373
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,440
neighborhoods um ex page four shows the

374
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,240
exterior tobacco ads you don't have to

375
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,720
enter a store to see tobacco marketing

376
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,159
New York state law says that you can't

377
00:25:49,159 --> 00:25:52,279
advertise within um 1500 feet of a

378
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:54,000
school and there certainly are

379
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,480
violations of that that we found in

380
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,440
those 31 stores the wall of tobacco

381
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,159
products um which is shown on page five

382
00:26:02,159 --> 00:26:05,440
is one of the primary ways um you know

383
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,720
there they have their entire wall filled

384
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,480
with tobacco products which of course is

385
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,000
disproportionate to the number of people

386
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
that use tobacco products but it gives

387
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,919
the impression that the more that's

388
00:26:14,919 --> 00:26:17,080
there that everybody's buying

389
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,960
it um the interior there interior ads

390
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,799
too that's some of that's on page six

391
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:25,440
page seven shows the amount of flavored

392
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,000
tobacco products that still exist 94% of

393
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,159
the stores sell flavored cigars and

394
00:26:31,159 --> 00:26:36,200
cigaros 84% of the stores sold U menthol

395
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,279
cigarettes and I think it's about half

396
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:42,640
of them sold flavored um electronic

397
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,279
cigarettes you summarize thank you I I

398
00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:47,720
just noticed I'm at one minute so um the

399
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,760
takeaway is definitely that the stores

400
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,480
in

401
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,760
skincity um are

402
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,240
disproportionately higher amounts of

403
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,200
tobacco marketing and promotion o

404
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,120
especially flavored products in those

405
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,120
neighborhoods with the least number of

406
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,480
resources um we are here to answer any

407
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,159
questions share with you what other

408
00:27:07,159 --> 00:27:09,399
communities have done to address that

409
00:27:09,399 --> 00:27:11,480
and my contact our contact information

410
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,919
is on there so thank you very much for

411
00:27:12,919 --> 00:27:14,720
your time thank

412
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:22,669
you Stephanie

413
00:27:22,679 --> 00:27:25,120
Hayes good evening I just want to say

414
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:27,120
congratulations to my opponents that I

415
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:29,840
didn't win but you ran a good campaign

416
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,559
second of all I'm here because a lot of

417
00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:33,200
my friends have reached out to me about

418
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,200
the budget and they're worried about the

419
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,200
police in the fire department overtime

420
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,360
being cut so I firmly suggest that we

421
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:43,159
revisit the budget and see what we can

422
00:27:43,159 --> 00:27:44,679
do to get them their money that they

423
00:27:44,679 --> 00:27:46,880
need and if we can't do it then I

424
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,840
suggest the Mr Mayor that you veto that

425
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,440
budget and go back to the drawing board

426
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,159
because at the at this time everybody

427
00:27:54,159 --> 00:27:56,200
needs is scared of the police and fire

428
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,320
department being cut and not not having

429
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,600
services so I've gotten a lot of

430
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,799
feedback on that right now so that's

431
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:05,039
where I am at this moment thank you very

432
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:08,669
much thank

433
00:28:08,679 --> 00:28:15,470
you Tom

434
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,760
Kennedy good evening

435
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,919
everybody uh I'm here tonight speak for

436
00:28:20,919 --> 00:28:22,399
the Republican

437
00:28:22,399 --> 00:28:25,240
Party um I'm also a resident in the city

438
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:31,679
of Sky the wood area uh I want to uh uh

439
00:28:31,679 --> 00:28:33,399
raise issue with the fact that the city

440
00:28:33,399 --> 00:28:37,000
council was 20 days late on the uh

441
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,720
budget uh I understand it's 27 days late

442
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,240
now waiting for the mayor to take a look

443
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,519
at it uh which is his

444
00:28:43,519 --> 00:28:45,360
right

445
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,679
um but I got to revisit a little bit I

446
00:28:48,679 --> 00:28:50,480
watched all the the nonsense that went

447
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,640
on during the budget heing and I do

448
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,039
agree with the mayor when he said it was

449
00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:58,200
lunacy um

450
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,080
however a week before the budget

451
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,159
deadline there was a recess

452
00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:06,919
call see so just we're going to call

453
00:29:06,919 --> 00:29:09,320
recess whole week before the work on it

454
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,679
when we get back so when they came back

455
00:29:12,679 --> 00:29:17,000
uh we find out that uh Mr mudaron uh was

456
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,960
down

457
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,559
in Guyana so he's down there on a little

458
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:25,120
Fiesta U while the budget was was late

459
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,720
uh it came in late um later on and then

460
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,279
when they came back you recess till

461
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:31,440
October

462
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,320
31st then Mr Farley wasn't here then on

463
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:41,039
November 1st Mr Muran wasn't here so as

464
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:43,840
I look at this as a city taxpayer I got

465
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,760
to wonder when the heck are you guys

466
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,880
coming to work what what rules do you

467
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,640
have on whether you come into to work or

468
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,399
just some Council are just Meander in 10

469
00:29:54,399 --> 00:29:57,080
15 20 minutes late half an hour late so

470
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,360
we're doing right now is we're going to

471
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,159
go through the hall last year and every

472
00:30:01,159 --> 00:30:02,840
time somebody's late we're going to put

473
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,399
a little report card out on you guys on

474
00:30:04,399 --> 00:30:07,360
the first that first of the year so in

475
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,240
saying all these things uh we put a

476
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,159
press release out and we called on the

477
00:30:13,159 --> 00:30:15,240
Miss Porterfield as the president you

478
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,039
know what rules do you guys have and you

479
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:21,880
get paid to represent us and when you

480
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,480
don't come to work you shouldn't get

481
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,279
paid and I think it's an absolute

482
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:29,279
travesty that you guys feel you deserve

483
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:33,440
a raise when you guys can't come to work

484
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,360
when you guys can't pass a budget which

485
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,240
in violation of the city Charter and yet

486
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,919
we do so much work so the bottom line

487
00:30:41,919 --> 00:30:44,120
here is you have failed the city of

488
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,080
skety you failed the taxpayers and uh

489
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,200
now let's see what you passed you passed

490
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,440
a a staffing cut of over $660,000 of

491
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,639
police overtime when both a fire chief

492
00:30:55,639 --> 00:30:57,480
and the fire police uh uh the the chief

493
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,080
of police came and tell you that is

494
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,639
directly Staffing overtime is Staffing

495
00:31:02,639 --> 00:31:05,519
it's because of vacancies Staffing so

496
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:08,320
when you complain about response times

497
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,320
or you complain about other issues to

498
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,440
deal with the police remember now you're

499
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,679
cutting their Staffing so overtime

500
00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:17,120
translate into Staffing I don't know how

501
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,399
anybody could have missed that uh the

502
00:31:19,399 --> 00:31:21,200
chief Mareno and chief Clifford were

503
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,320
very clear on that

504
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,320
so I guess when we take a look at how we

505
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,200
look at the how this budget passed you

506
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,039
got people didn't come in you guys

507
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:33,880
called The Recess beforehand and

508
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,679

please oh very good so I think I can

513

safely say that most of the city

514
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,720
taxpayers think you guys are failing on

515
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,159

00:31:53,159 --> 00:31:55,279

574
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,240
business of the

council Mr

Williams uh before before I begin I'd

577
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,480
like to first thank everyone that came

578
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,599
out and spoke uh I actively take notes

579
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:02,280
and definitely the packet that we

580
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,040
received on the tobacco communities is

581
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,160
definitely information I'm going to take

582
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,880
into consideration

583
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,000
um my comments come directly in response

584
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,240
to just the uh mannerisms in which our

585
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:15,440
last committee meeting ended uh anyone

586
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,760
can point out why something doesn't work

587
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,440
it requires a certain level of conflict

588
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,480
resolution and compromising to step

589
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,760
beyond our personal views and

590
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,280
perspectives to work as a collective at

591
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,200
any point when an individual on the C is

592
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,359
unable or unwilling to speak in a

593
00:35:29,359 --> 00:35:31,320
productive or constructive manner I

594
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,200
respectfully ask them to reconsider

595
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,320
their purpose this Council isn't

596
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,760
comprised of seven individuals it's one

597
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,720
body set forward to Advocate

598
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,680
legislatively to improve the quality of

599
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,880
life for

600
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,800
sadian this budget as which has been so

601
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,599
carefully dissected and uh recognized

602
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:50,640
throughout our community uh reflected a

603
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,560
set of council members positioned

604
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,520
unwaveringly in support of the mayor's

605
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,400
proposed budget and another set of

606
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,720
individual ual making multiple

607
00:35:57,720 --> 00:35:59,800
concessions to Advocate uh and

608
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,400
accommodate conflicting interest uh such

609
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,319
as approving large scale budget

610
00:36:04,319 --> 00:36:06,880
increases and keeping the tax burden at

611
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,200
a marginal

612
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,000
increase there is truly nothing easy

613
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,440
about the tasks set before us as a

614
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,720
council and the infighting truly needs

615
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:16,480
to

616
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,040
stop however I personally look forward

617
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,680
to hearing the mayor's formal remarks on

618
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,960
the budget and will incorporate any and

619
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,079
all indirect andir feedback into future

620
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:28,160
annual related budget conversations and

621
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,720
discussions uh so that I can continue to

622
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:33,400
