WOW!! You have got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!! Check out Rotterdam!!!!! I'm in shock!!!

you think they are over paid ?? Good luck finding a chief in Albany for those bucks...Schenectady/ Rotterdam cops make that $.

The TU wants you to believe that the chiefs all need a raise and are underpaid too. Must be nice to retire at 42 and get a $50,000 pension. Don't you all wish you could get that deal?

happy retirement chief hamilton

And we, the taxpayers, can thank our government officials, who just about give the farm away when they negotiate these union contracts.

Quid pro quo?

I will ask the question that has to be answered,,,,,why do we have so many police in Rotterdam??? who put them there? and why?

dont worry consolidation/patriot act/homeland security/government grant $$ and the politicos that fight for that power will be at hand very soon......

Albany is a different animal than Rotterdam.....Hamilton lives in a big old house and is payed a lot of money for watching over Ratterdam...please

So the Albany Chief is in charge of 3 times the population and makes less money than the Rotterdam Chief? Makes sense!

Thats why my taxes are twice as high as everyone elses

When the next rpd negotiations come around, I would lay it right on the table that the taxpayer can no longer sustain the taxes they pay for their police force. And that the rpd has to give up some concessions. If they don't, than let the taxpayers know EXACTLY if the rpd will give and not take in this round of negotiations.

Let the taxpayers decide!

shock  - this is an American icon - taxation with representation

it started in the mid-seventies in rotterdam with the enactment of the state dwi laws and still continues. now it is about votes

remember the supervisors job is part-time and he could not afford a cab back then

remember to support ...
the rotterdam pba

get a mug, get the window sticker

and if you are good enough to pass the tests and lucky enough to get hired you too
could have "mastershield" and all its perks
