It's always quick sand.<br />This administration is the worst yet and appalling and That is no easy feat. It's hard for me to not slam down on this latest production of the Grant Grifter and take this NYS, since it's NYS taxpayer money. This one has been in the works for at least 6-7 years and has morphed into god knows what. I have to hand it to Galloway. He finally is running City Hall.<br />I need to spend my time tightening up my house, so I can sell it when hopefully we recover from Covid -19. Life is too short.

If you want apartments, put them in the houses. A giant taxpayer subsidized apartment building there is not what Hudson needs. Make them go back to the drawing board.P.

The mayor is as weak as our president in his inability to face critique (not even criticism) with a responsible and sensible response, resorting instead to governmental censorship (you know, the kind the Constitution abhors) and perhaps, in the process, breaking the law regarding public records. And the Council buys in to its president's log rolling to force the City and its taxpayers, residents and businesses to pay corporate welfare to perhaps the wealthiest man in town so he, in turn, can have NYS fund his project that per its own description is both designed to attract upper-middle class renters and uneconomical to develop.<br /><br />All in the face of a pandemic that has crippled our economy and, in so doing, removed all effective public participation in these proceedings.<br /><br />Sunlight, as they say in politics, is the best disinfectant (no pun about last night's dose of presidential medicine). <br /><br />In Hudson, this Spring, there is no political sunshine unless we demand it. <br /><br />John K.

It's like the Common Council lives in a bubble and has no idea that we are at the beginning of a global pandemic that will likely lead to a global economic DEPRESSION and the likely bankruptcy of the City of Hudson. Yet, they have been focused on the reupholstery of the benches at city hall, passing useless non-binding resolutions, defunding the tourism board, and this poorly thought out abomination.
