Sound Off: Smoking and public housing

I just saw smoking was banned in public housing and I saw a woman interviewed and she said she has no choice where she lives because she is too poor to move anywhere else. If she's so poor, how can she afford cigarettes. They are like $10 a pack.

Now we see why

Now we see why the City of Troy's properties were reassessed. To pay for the redevelopment of the riverfront property where the old City Hall used to be.

The difference

There has never been a clearer explanation of the difference between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox as there was on opening day this past Monday. The Yankees showed up clean shaven with reasonable haircuts looking like professional athletes. The Red Sox showed up looking like teenage hair bags out to impress the local hotties not baseball fans. It doesn't matter who won the game the Red Sox lost respect and they disrespect baseball every time they take the field looking like that.

Waste of money

Mayor Lou, we had a killing a knifing in Corliss Park, two bank robberies already and now we have this ruckus with more than 100 students in Lansingburgh. Good job with the commissioner. What a waste of money.

We need altar servers

St. Augustine's school was rated high in the Troy Record survey and I would like to know why if they have all those Catholic children in the school why can't they have altar servers. They have to have older men be servers. Why would you rate them so high? We need more altar servers for a church that beautiful.
