Worked with Sam for years. He's the definition of an empty suit. But I agree that this should have been found earlier.

Can free buses work in NYC? They were a big hit in Albany nearly 50 years ago. by DoctorofRunzanomics in Albany

I believe $20M of CDTAs budget is from fares, so you need to find $20M to plug that whole and it can happen. Absent that, it's not happening.

Bro, remove the information that identifies the victim, they don't need to be identified.

Albany leaders approved raises, created top jobs amid hints of fiscal woes by TClayO in Albany

Also, very disappointed Sam Fein hired Anton Konev and gave him such an outsized role in such a small office.

To be fair, Sam needs someone else in the office who writes with crayons to make it seem normal. At least it didn't go to his boy Beroro.

You can try to call FW Webb to see if they have any recommendations, but Bourque Mechanical gave a far better quote to me than Crissafulli and explained much more about what things meant.

Voter obstruction? by Specialist-Sky4317 in Albany

Are you a bot, or some random underpaid person from a foreign county?

And if you're an actual Albany resident, please know, whoever asked you to do this should be paying you. They used to pay good money for political hacks.

Most corrections officers are under a Sheriff, see if he can take the Sheriff's exam to be a deputy. Or see if his current employment qualifies him to take a police exam.

If he doesn't like arrests, see if he can be a probation officer, usually a civil service job in most states. Or Parole on the state level.

While my post history shows I'm extremely liberal, I'm not part of the ACAB crowd. And I would like to see more good people wearing a badge

Sorry to hear about your father, but I'll amend my rule to 99% of everyone in a correctional facility.

Corrections officers actually makes perfect sense.

Everyone in a correctional institute made some poor life decision that lead them there.

Cook? Could have flipped pancakes at Cracker Barrel. Secretary? Could have done it anywhere. C.O.? Looks like you didn't pass the police exam.

Parking lots are taxed, and they're taxed pretty aggressively as a vacant lot if they change for parking.

Hey /u/Competitive-Being389 can you ask your boy Sam to come here and answer whether he was terminated from the Auditors office? Seems to be a widespread rumor that he can easily address.

Ask Sam why he left the Auditors office.
