Schenectady County Democrats support Glendale Home

Democrats on the Schenectady County Legislature unanimously voted in support of a highly needed new Glendale Nursing facility to protect our senior and disabled population who need skilled nursing care. For over three years the county Legislature has discussed, debated, and been updated on various proposals. Last Tuesday night was the culmination of these discussions and the beginning of another public process to see the development of final plans and construction.

Recently, the county Legislature held a public hearing at the Glendale facility to allow families, residents, health care professions, and the general public to comment on the proposed new facility. Click here to see what the public has said.

Sadly, not a single Republican county Legislator even showed up to hear what the public had to say. Instead, Republican Minority Leader Farley proudly led his delegation to a political fundraiser while residents of the Glendale Home came out to speak about their future, share their fears, offer their hopes, give insights into their care, and provide hospitality in their home. Maybe their purposeful absense is why the entire Republican minority joined with the new national Republican Party mantra and declared itself the "Party of No" by voting against this important facility.
