RENSS. CO. LEGIS. ADOPTS 2015 BUDGET

and 4th CONSECUTIVE SPENDING PLANThe Rensselaer County voted Monday to approve the 2015county budget, with the spending plan the fourth consecutivebudget to remain under the state tax cap while protectingneeded services.The budget also protects needed county services, andmaintains a solid fiscal foundation that will help safeguard thecounty’s bond rating and positive financial ratings earned inrecent years.The spending plan approved at a special meeting on Decemberincludes a minimal property tax increase of 1.48 percent. Thatincrease was reduced from 1.66 percent thanks to variouscost efficiencies, including an early retirement incentivepackage. The spending reductions total approximately$400,000. “We are proud to see Rensselaer County stay under the taxcap for a fourth consecutive year. Our goal in the CountyLegislature was to keep the budget under the tax cap againand we are glad that goal has been met,” said Chair of theLegislature Martin Reid. “The spending plan adopted by the County Legislature alsoprotects the services our residents rely on, particularly servicesfor seniors, veterans and youths,” said Vice Chair of theLegislature Phil Danaher.The budget is the latest to be passed under the growing burdenof state and federal mandates. Mandates now account for 90cents of every tax dollar in the county. The sluggish economyhas also forced more residents to seek mandated services.The budget for the legislative offices will remain in line withprevious years, with the legislative budget remainingcomparable to 20 years ago. Legislators have kept spendingin line by keeping positions under previous staffing levels andpostponing equipment purchases. “We worked hard to stretch every dollar and to ensuretaxpayers are protected while the services our residents relyon are provided,” said Majority Leader Ken Herrington. “Thanks to County Executive Jimino, her department headsand budget staff for their efforts in putting together a solidspending plan for Rensselaer County,” said Legislator KellyHoffman. The budget was approved by a 12-6 vote.

GLENDORA’S VEGETARIAN CLUBFarm Animals’ Rights Movement (FARM) does wonders reducinganimal cruelty. How? They toured with a music festival, WarpedTour, 17,000 miles to 40 cities in 51 days showing their videoabout farm animal horror to 28,000 teen concert-goers. So?So the teenagers wake up and go vegan. Why? Teenagers arethe ideal audience because they are sensitive to animal crueltyand open to exploring a vegan diet.What can be said about many older people? They are too out-of-shape physically, mentally, and spiritually to follow theirconscience. They are too obese and lethargic. They choose tospend their time, energy, and money on visits to doctors andtrips to the pharmacy filling their bodies with toxins.How many teens saw the FARM video? It’s estimated that28,000 saw it at the 2014 Warped Tour. Since they launchedthe video in 2012, over 250,000 teens and college studentshave seen it. FARM estimates this has prevented the abuseand slaughter of over three million animals. And what are youdoing, Glendora, to help people be healthy, to save the planet,and to save the animals?Glendora invites you to a free veggie meal the last Wednesdayof every month at 6pm at the Nassau Free Library (18 ChurchSt., Nassau, on Rt. 20).

PLEASE ADOPT ME!

We are Feste and Ellie, 2.5-year-old shy, grey, tiger kittieslooking for homes. Our rescue’s been struggling financiallyand closing down soon. We 5 remaining kitties need to find

homes fast, as other rescues tell us they have no room for us. So it’s up to people who canadopt to help us. Feste’s male and Ellie’s female and we’re the best of friends! It would be niceto stay together, as brother & sister, but we could easily go to different homes. What’s mostimportant for us is finding the right kind of person. We’re working on coming out of our shellsand need a patient person with love and understanding to help us get there. We’re really nicekitties; we enjoy petting - & certainly treats - but we’re “scaredy cats!” We get along fine withother kitties, but we could also live solo. We’re very hopeful we’ll find our chance for a foreverhome soon. Please consider adopting one or both of us!! Give a scaredy-cat a chance!The rescue is waiving adoption fees to encourage people to adopt. The group really has towrap up very soon!Feste & Ellie are up-to-date on shots, house trained, neutered/spayed.For information, contact Purrfect Companions’ representative: Maryann - 331-2221.

LEGAL ASSISTANCE

Do you have legal questions, need a will or Power of Attorney, don’t know where to turn foranswers? Brittany Sergent, from Legal Aid Society of Northeast New York will be availablethrough Rensselaer County’s Aging Department for free consultations the fourth Friday of each

month at Rensselaer County’s Everett Wagar Senior Center, 2 Roxborough Road, Grafton.

All Rensselaer County seniors, 60 years of age and older are welcome. If you have anyquestions, or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact the center at 279-3413.

December is a busy month for the Legislature and we are pleased to note progress in our workto protect taxpayers and ensure a strong financial foundation for the county. At the December1 special meeting, we voted in support of the 2015 county budget, which is the fourth consecutivebudget to stay under the state tax cap.The adopted 2015 budget also protects needed county services, and will help maintain thepositive financial ratings and reviews the county has earned in recent years. The Legislaturehelped by keeping our budget in line with previous years, and spending in the Legislature iscomparable to 20 years ago thanks to reduced staff and other strategies.At the December 9 meeting, legislators approved a new county insurance contract following anextensive competitive bidding process overseen by the Legislature. Thanks to the effectivebidding, the total cost of the policy is lower than what the county paid more than two decadesago. Along with the December 1 and December 9 meetings, legislators also met for a year-endmeeting on December 16. At that meeting, legislators approved a substantial upgrade tocounty emergency communications and radios, with portions of the project covered by statefunding. Legislators also approved funding for improvements to county roads. The strongcounty bond rating helped generate favorable terms for the bond issuance, helping savemoney overall. We look forward in particular to progress on improving county roads and bridges.We were also happy to join with other members of the Legislature in purchasing a new televisionfor use by the residents at the Van Rensselaer Manor. The new TV was purchased with fundsfrom legislators and presented to VRM residents at Christmas. Legislators also collected toys,blankets and food for animals housed at the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, which werepresented at Christmas. Our best wishes for a happy, safe and profitable New Year. The nextregular monthly meeting of the Rensselaer County Legislature is Tuesday, January 13, 2015.Residents are welcome to contact us at the legislative offices by writing to the RensselaerCounty Legislature, 1600 7th Avenue, Troy, NY 12180 or by e-mailing us via the official legislativewebsite at www.rensselaercounty.org.
