- We’ve expanded intergovernmental cooperation, saving nearly $18,000 this year on summer payroll by partnering with the County and City School District and brought in more than $100,000 in revenue through an agreement Rotterdam to handle sewage treatment.
- We’ve made government more responsive through an “Open Door Policy” in the Office of the Mayor, where I have personally responded to or directed to department heads more than 100 calls a day, established a series of “Community Meet & Greets” and implemented a new Code Enforcement Neighborhood Initiative that goes into all of the neighborhoods focused on improving the quality of life throughout the City.
- We’ve put into place innovative new programs such as the Recyclution, a program developed to raise public awareness of the importance of recycling which could potientially save thousands of taxpayer dollars a year and established the City Volunteer Corps which enrolled Schenectady in the “Cities of Service” program and initiated volunteer events where residents and city employees worked side-by-side on projects.
Over the last several years under Democratic leadership, we’ve brought in hundreds of millions dollars in new investment, created thousands of new jobs, and rejuvenated the downtown. We’ve built on that success in my first 100 days. Now I need your help to keep that progress going. Visit my website today and volunteer.
Thank you,
Gary
