A
Making
some
changes
to
that
and
on
the
housing
side
will
be
receiving
a
report
from
steve
longo
executive
director
from
the
housing
authority
president,
our
for
the
Housing
Committee
councilmember,
ballerina,
County,
love
and
myself
and
present
at
this
time
for
Human
Resource.
Human
rights
are
myself
and
mr.
Conte,
but
we'll
get
started
a
bit
and
other
counseling
other
council
member
of
present
is
Thomas
Olli,
okay.
So
no.
B
A
C
Okay,
so,
as
councilman
Kimbrough
said,
I'm
steve
longo,
the
director
of
the
albany
housing
authority
said
that's
a
new
faces,
an
exciting
time
for
the
city,
the
Common
Council,
it's
exciting
for
me,
as
the
director
of
the
Housing
Authority
to
come
over.
This
is
the
first
time
I
think
I've
ever
been
to
the
Housing
Committee
simple.
C
That
won't
be
my
last,
so
we
talked
about
me
just
giving
a
very
broad
overview
that
so
there
would
be
time
so
that
if
council
members
wanted
to
steer
the
discussion
in
one
discussion
in
one
area
of
greater
interest,
so
that's
what
I
thought
I'd
do
is
to
just
give
a
very
brief
presentation
and
see
where
the
interest
was
so.
The
Albany
Housing
Authority
is
created
by
an
act
of
the
New
York
State
Legislature
way
back
in
1946
there
for
making
us
73
years
old,
we're
one
of
the
oldest
housing
authorities
in
the
country.
C
We
have
an
operating
budget
of
50
million,
eight
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Approximately
three
three
million
is
capital
improvements.
18
million
is
section
eight.
Of
course,
we
can
talk
more
about
the
section
8
program,
but
we
are
right
now
sending
out
18
1.5
million
dollars
a
month
to
pay
to
help
families
that
live
mostly
in
private
housing,
afford
market
rate
rent.
C
Under
the
section
8
program,
the
family
pays
30%
of
their
income
and
using
HUD
funds
appropriated
by
Congress
down
through
the
Housing
Authority
out
to
the
landlord's
each
month,
we're
never
late
with
our
our
share
of
the
rent,
which
is
1.5
million
dollars
a
month,
18
million
dollars
for
the
year.
Our
payroll
is
around
6
million
$900,000.
So
we
have
a
big
impact
on
the
Aloka
leçon
imme,
which
is
why
I
went
into
the
details
of
the
budget,
see
we
have
109
full-time
employees.
C
We
have
over
the
last
28
years
grown,
are
our
inventory
and
we
have
now
over
2,000
301
apartments,
and
we
have
become
a
very,
very
diverse,
Housing
Authority.
We
don't
have
exactly
one
style
of
housing.
Older
public
housing
like
the
Lincoln
and
steamboat
hours,
are
the
old-style
public
housing
and
the
new
housing
that
we've
been
building.
I
have
a
brochure
here
that
has
it
highlights
the
new
housing
that
we
built
over
the
last
20
years,
approximately
I
think
1,300
units
that
it
costs
two
hundred
and
twenty-five
million
dollars
and
that
housing
is
tax,
credit
housing.
C
So
we
have
section
8
housing
project
based
section,
8,
housing,
tax,
credit,
housing
and
public
housing
through
the
old
federal
probe
program.
So
we
have
2301
apartments
that
we
own
and
manage.
We
have
two
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fourteen
vouchers
in
which
those
families,
2814
families,
live
in
private
sector,
housing
that
meets
the
federal
housing
quality
standards
that
we
inspect
annually
and
they
pay
thirty
percent
of
their
income
to
the
landlord,
and
we
make
up
the
difference.
C
So
we've
already
talked
about
that
1.5
million
dollars
a
month,
eighteen
million
dollars
for
the
year
there's
enough
money
at
present
to
subsidize
2814
families,
the
average
family,
thirty
percent
of
their
income,
which
is
their
rent,
the
average
half
payment,
which
is
the
housing
assistance
payment,
is
approximately
five
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
Public
housing
waiting
list
has
just
been
perched.
It's
done
annually
and
that's
not
a
great
word
purge.
C
I
also
call
it
are
you
still
interested,
because
we
had
a
high
of
thirteen
thousand
on
our
waiting
list,
but
you
have
to
understand
that
a
lot
of
people
when
they
apply
for
housing.
If
they
get
housing,
then
they
no
longer
are
at
the
address
where
they
told
us
they
were,
and
so
we
send
out
it
takes
all
summer
long
to
send
out,
and
are
you
still
interested
so
we
didn't
get
an
enormous
amount
of
the
letters
back
or
enormous
amount
of
the
letters
were
returned
undeliverable.
So
consequently,
I
have
new
statistics.
C
We
have
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty
nine
families
on
our
public
housing
waiting
lists
of
those
families.
1992
listed
an
Albany
address
currently
on
the
section
eight
list,
there's
one
thousand
one
hundred
and
thirty
three
active
families
that
have
been
there
and
720
of
them
live
in
the
city
of
Albany.
Under
our
regulations,
when
the
public
house,
when
the
section
8
waiting
list
drops
below
1500,
it
is
reopened.
So
what
you
might
not
know
that
Congress
does
not
intend
for
section
8
to
be
an
entitlement
program
like
Medicaid
by
design.
C
So
we
will
be
opening
our
sectional
ain't
waiting
list
because
we
are
below
the
1500
it'll,
probably
be
open
for
a
month
and
will
open
sometime
in
late
February
early
March
ads
will
go
into
the
newspaper,
so
I
thought
I'd
give
a
little
update
on
some
of
our
construction
activity,
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
Common
Council
interaction
because
of
the
nature
of
bringing
in
investors
and
pilots
and
so
I
phase,
one
which
we
were
here
talking
to
you
about
several
years
ago.
We've
completed
it
all
61
apartments.
All
the
families
have
moved
in.
C
Quite
a
Phase
two
is
under
construction,
its
76
apartments,
62
of
them
are
in
a
seven
story,
mid
rise
and
you
can
see
the
elevator
shafts
and
the
stairwells
are
completely
built
and
now
they're
coming
up
and
they're
around
the
fifth
floor.
It's
an
exciting
time.
It
also
includes
62
units,
one
and
two
bedrooms
in
the
mid
rise
and
14
family
apartments,
around
the
clock
for
family
apartments.
C
Four
bedrooms
over
on
Peter
Schuyler
court
were
just
finished
and
the
families
moved
in
the
week
after
Christmas
and
I'm
telling
you,
the
apartments
are
absolutely
beautiful
and
the
views
out
the
back
door
of
the
mountains
across
the
river
are
incredible
and
on
moving
day
to
see
the
families
move
into
that
quality
of
apartment
was
an
amazing
feeling.
There
are
ten
additional
family
units
that
are
being
built
on
the
site
in
the
foreground
of
the
seventh
storey
High
Rocks
I
phase
three
is
well
underway.
C
Ida
phase
three
is
carving
out
a
plot
of
land
on
site
for
ten
units
that
are
going
to
be
built.
Hopefully
this
summer
and
sold
to
first-time
homebuyers
we're
trying
to
intermix
the
rent
area
with
home
ownership.
New
Urbanism
and
other
urban
theorists
have
demonstrated
the
quality
of
life
in
the
neighborhood
dramatically
changes.
When
you
have
a
mixture
of
home
ownership
and
rental
and
subsidized
rental
Ida
phase
four
is
going
to
be
another
tax
credit
deal.
There
are
two
types
of
tax
credits:
one
are
competitive
known
as
9%.
C
D
C
The
neck,
that's
out
of
phase
four
and
one
of
the
dramatic
things
that
will
be
happening
is
next
year
or
late.
This
year
is
a
new
skin
will
go
on
the
building.
The
buildings
were
built
in
the
70s,
with
a
very,
very
porous
brick,
it's
impossible
to
get
them
clean
from
the
pollution
of
the
elevated
roads,
and
this
new
skin
will
be
designed
in
such
a
way
that
it
won't.
C
The
pollution
won't
adhere
to
it,
and
these
units
are
very
popular,
there's
two
hundred
and
twenty
five
of
them,
and
they
are
right
across
the
street
from
the
brand
new
theater.
So
the
new
cap,
rep
theater,
will
be
going.
The
renovation
of
that
will
be
going
on.
Hopefully,
at
the
same
time,
out
of
your
borough
face
floor
will
be
going
on.
It's
gonna
be
a
great
great
opportunity
for
that
area.
As
you
know,
that
area
is
part
of
the
dri,
the
10-million
downtown
investment
grant.
C
We
are
actively
involved
in
it
where
we
might
be
receiving
a
grant
of
$200,000
for
the
homeownership
units,
there's
14
million
dollars
of
projects
and
only
10
million
dollars
of
money.
So
we
we've
made
it
to
the
final,
but
we
don't
know
if
we're
gonna
be
a
finalist
all
right
so
see,
I
think
we
cover
that
Lincoln
square.
We
had
a
little
article
in
the
paper
and
I
think
there
was
some
kind
of
some
interest
by
one
of
the
comment
council
members.
C
So
if
you
look
at
the
neighborhood
plan
for
the
south
and
Capitol
South
segue
to
the
future,
which
admittedly,
we
know
needs
to
be
updated,
it
calls
for
the
units
in
those
two
high-rises
to
be
replaced
with
a
less
dense
style
of
housing
known
as
infill
housing
and
we've
done
that
we
originally
thought
we
could
do
it
well,
it's
called
hope
six
and
we
would
be
able
to
do
it
all
at
once.
Three
times
we
applied
and
three
times
we
were
turned
down
stating
that
we
weren't
bad
off.
C
We
did
not
move
the
families
out
of
the
Lincoln
towers
at
the
time,
because
we
had
an
excessive
waiting
list
and
we
didn't
have
the
four
million
dollars
to
tear
down
the
buildings
so
and
we
thought
they
would
symbolize
iconic
symbols
of
urban
decay
if
the
buildings
were
left
vacant,
and
so
at
this
point
in
time
we
are
ready
to
start
applying
for
the
financing
to
try
to
demolish
the
high-rises
and
move
the
families
out.
We
have
enough
replacement
units
to
accommodate
them
and
also
section
8
vouchers
to
accommodate
them
per
the
Capitol
south
plan.
C
We
would
like
to
try
to
attract
a
market
rate
commercial
developer,
to
develop
something
on
this
land
that
could
be
used
to
create
jobs
for
the
residents
of
the
South
End
and
to
bring
new
residents
to
the
south
end
by
the
virtue
of
the
new
amenities
that
could
be
in
in
the
project.
Steamboats
Square,
steamboat
squares,
you
know,
is
part
of
our
next
development
plan.
We
were
over
at
the
Common
Council
seeking
a
pilot
for
phase
one
which
we
received
on
December
20th.
We
submitted
our
application.
C
We
have
a
partner
with
Edgemere
development
at
home,
leasing,
home
leasing
is
doing
a
big
project
on
Clinton
Avenue
and
is
well-respected
developer,
we're
partnering
with
them
and
a
steamboat
phase.
One
is
called
steamboat
20,
it's
a
20
million
dollar
project
to
put
37
new
apartments
in
the
back
wing
and
top
floors
of
20
rents
or
Street
and
renovate
the
51
apartments
that
are
there
now,
and
we
will
be
doing
a
master
plan
to
decide
how
we're
going
to
tackle
the
three
remaining
high-rises
and
the
100
low-rise
units
and
so
I.
C
We
also
are
active
interviewing
solar
consultants
to
market
our
properties
to
see
if
any
of
our
buildings
would
be
advantageous
to
put
solar
on
them
or
there's
benefits
as
a
housing
authority.
If
we
purchase
our
power
through
a
solar
farm,
an
off-site
solar
farm,
there
could
be
a
financial
benefit
to
the
Housing
Authority,
so
that's
well
underway.
So
right
now
we
really
are
not
just
narrowing
and
looking
at
housing,
because
our
housing
is
in
neighborhoods.
That
are
challenged,
and
so
we
roll
up
our
sleeves.
C
C
C
Folks
that
have
gone
through
the
program,
the
our
way,
Center
specializes
in
individuals
that
have
hardcore
obstacles
to
employment
and
working.
It's
not
a
big
volume
program.
It
works
with
a
small
and
group
of
people
with
an
intense
program
to
try
to
get
them
on
the
track
to
employment.
So
we
highlight
somebody
who
has
been
through
the
program.
I
have
five
months
of
the
different
folks
that
were
highlighted
to
show
how
they
can
into
the
wage
center
and
how
they
came
out.
The
wage
Center
last
year
in
2017
got
68
unemployed.
C
C
So
some
of
the
other
interests
that
have
come
up
when
I've
been
here
for
pilots
are
when
we
do
new
construction.
What
type
of
benefit
is
there
for
people
to
get
jobs,
and
so
we
track
all
that
and
I
do
Yarbrough
phase
one
which
we've
discussed
is
completed
and
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
have
the
records
in
66
albanians.
C
B
A
Council,
member
Johnson
who's-
not
here,
had
probably
the
most
questions.
He
said
he's
five
minutes
out,
but
I
know
one
of
his
questions
had
to
do
with
the
weights
in
or
what
she
kind
of
gave
us
in
every
overview,
and
some
information
on
that
part
of
it
was
local
folks
at
Ida.
You
mention
that
the
Lincoln
Park
thing
you
you
touched
on
that
also
so
there's
a
big
right
now
in
find.
If
we
just
take
public
comment,
oh
waxing
council
members.
B
C
Was
thinking
about
it
like
you
know,
because
there's
all
these
rules
about
I
can't
disclose
names
and
things,
and
so
I'm
thinking,
like
you
know,
from
what's
on
the
news
now
I
brought
over
the
list
and
it
was
redacted
that
the
whole
thing
would
be.
You
know,
I
can't
give
you
the
name
and
I
really
can't
give
you
the
address.
Yeah.
F
C
C
Yeah
and
no
like
I,
also
want
people
to
understand
that
where
the
city
in
the
housing
authority
worked
really
well
together,
so
somebody
said
well:
the
city
is
doing
the
Lincoln
Park
master
plan
and
you're
doing
a
plan
for
Lincoln
Square
to
the
two
of
you
talk,
and
we
do
because
the
consultant
is
looking
at
a
piece
of
our
property
to
expand
the
basketball
courts.
So
we're
all
you
know
in
sync,
with
each
other
and
making
sure
that
our
long
range
and
our
short
term
plantings
are
all
taking
each
other's
needs
into
considerations.
B
C
C
381
there
are
381
jobs,
so
they
don't
necessarily,
but
they
could
have
been
acme
plumbing.
You
know
and
they
already
work
for
Acme
plumbing
and
they
worked
on
this
job.
Everybody
who
works
on
this
job.
Everything
has
to
be
tracked,
including
the
government
mandates,
a
a
wage
rate
and
I
have
to
verify
that
they
received
those
appropriate
wages
as
well.
B
C
I,
don't
I
could
get
you
that
breakdown
I
was
interviewing.
Somebody
today
for
an
open
position
and
they
were
not
from
Albany
and
we
do
have
a
preference
and
we
are
Civil
Service.
So
if
you're
not
from
Albany,
we
have
to
demonstrate
that
you
know
there
is
nobody
from
Albany
that
can
meet
those
qualifications,
and
then
we
can
go
to
Albany
County,
and
if
we
can't
find
anybody
in
Albany
County,
we
can
go
to
an
abutting
County.
A
D
You
so,
first
of
all,
apologize
for
being
late
to
drive
a
kid
home
that
the
mother
was
in
there.
I
can't
leave
the
kid,
but
you
know
it's
disturbing
to
hear
that
you
don't
have
the
information
that
was
clearly
requested
and
you
came
in
and
you
do
what
numbers
and
we're
action
for
proof
of
what
you
were
saying
verbally,
because
in
the
first
meeting
you
said
one
thing
you
said
on
the
way
center
you
some
song
and
dance
of
how
we
have
a
system.
D
That
is,
you
know,
providing
opportunities
to
local
community
members
and
then,
when
I
walk
out
of
the
meeting,
I
made
a
phone
call
I
found
out
other,
and
then
you
came
back
and
you
got
a
difference.
And
now
here
we
are
today
where
we
I
was
expecting
to
see
proof
because
I
have
someone
that
is
out
here.
If
you
could
show
us
six
people
that
you
employ
from
our
community,
we
were
not
taking
about
to
lunch
because.
E
D
No
anomalous
intended
here,
you
know
I,
don't
get
verbal
and
vocal
like
that's
right!
Well,
you
know
it
can't
happen
in
the
four
years
that
I'm
going
to
sit
in
this
seat
is
that
someone
could
come
and
just
sing
a
song
to
us
and
it's
no
follow-through.
As
I
said,
the
project
at
work.
Discussion
is
great
across
the
street
from
my
daytime
job.
D
So
when
this
stuff
goes
on,
you
know
people
give
you
a
phone
call,
they
get,
they
can't
get
to
you,
but
people
are
going
to
be
coming
up
to
me
and
and
I'm
going
to
be
left
to
hold
the
bucket.
For
that.
So
you
know
I
feel
like
defeated,
because
I
just
rushed
here,
because
I
was
very
clear
to
the
chairman
of
the
expectation.
What
I
was
expecting
to
hear
today
and
come
to
find
out
that
here
it
is.
I
spoke
to
one
of
my
fellow
councilmen
and
he
said
for
four
years.
D
He
requested
things
from
you
and
you
never
produced,
and
so
and-
and
here
it
is
the
first
time
that
I
act,
something
the
same
thing
is
no
none.
I'm
Albany,
Hamilton
pump
kid
I
grew
up
in
the
Lundy
housing
project.
It
was
beneficial
to
my
family
when
my
family
needed
and
for
for
us
not
to
be
able
to
get
this
information
is
unacceptable.
D
A
I
mean
let
me,
but
mr.
long
will
actually
did
go
through
numbers.
He
spoke
to
I
had
a
phase
one,
which
is
what
you
wanted.
Information
on.
He
said.
381
people
overall
were
employed
down
there.
Not
all
from
Albany
66
were
from
the
city
of
Albany
and
17
were
from
Arbor
Hill
I.
Think
that
would
meet
you
require
you.
D
A
A
D
A
A
Exactly
let
can
I
get
those
records
and
I'll
go
to
stuff
with
him.
Yeah.
A
A
So
it's
not
only
people
have
to
provide
jobs
it.
The
fact
that
it
does
is
awesome
is
great.
We
want
that,
but
that
that
that's
not
what
the
program
is
for
and
as
far
as
the
Wade
Center
is
the
Wade
Center
has
deals
with
hard
to
employ
workers,
folks
that
have
all
kinds
of
issues
that
they
try
to
support
and
getting
getting
either
from
pop
from
part-time
employment
to
full-time
employment
or
just
employment
period.
That's
what.
D
F
D
B
A
C
D
B
B
C
C
C
Okay,
section
3
dates
back
to
the
Civil
Rights
Act
of
1968.
It's
a
non
non
race
non
gender,
it's
simply
an
income
and
location
program,
and
it
says
that
if
you
are
gonna,
if
you
are
a
company,
you
own
a
company
and
you've
got
a
contract
that
is
paid
for
with
federal
funds,
a
certain
percentage
of
any
new
hires.
As
a
result
of
that
contract
have
to
go
to
section
3
workers,
a
section
3
worker
for
all
for
Albany
Housing
Authority,
would
be
a
family
living
in
the
apartment
complex
where
the
work
is
going
on.
C
If
no
one
is
there
that
meets
the
job
requirements,
public
housing
in
the
entire
city
of
Albany
and
if
there's
no
one
there
that
meets
the
job
requirements,
then
people
living
in
the
neighborhood
and
there's
such
a
thing.
As
a
section
three
employee
and
a
section
three
business,
we
also
certify
section
3
businesses.
B
B
C
Get
you
more
detail.
What
I
have
today
is
that
159
people
signed
up
for
reoccurring,
counseling
in
2016
180
in
2017.
The
only
outcomes
that
I'm
tracking
at
this
point
that
I
have
for
you
are
that
how
many
people
got
their
GED
and
how
many
people
got
jobs
and
how
many
people
signed
up
and
had
regular
reoccurring
appointments
with
a
work
development,
specialist
I
had
those
numbers.
C
C
C
This
program
is
funded
by
HUD.
It
does
not
come
out
of
the
rent
money
or
the
public
housing
money.
It's
a
competition
that
the
HUD
at
ho
HUD
holds,
and
you
have
to
fill
out
a
competitive
application
and
demonstrate
your
track
record
and
we
were
able
to
win
the
money
every
year
for
the
last
approximately
2025
years.
D
C
A
C
B
C
Could
have
been
that
you
know
duplicates
like
they
came
in
Monday
think
they
walk
by
again
on
Tuesday.
There's
also
issues
that
we
deal
with
here,
in
which
the
city
mission,
which
is
around
the
block
in
the
winter,
pushes
people
out,
and
so
they
oftentimes
come
in
and
say:
can
they
use
the
computer?
You
know
and
so
they're
the
the
six
thousand
number
is
a
little.
You
know
deceiving
in
that
it
could
be
duplications.
Many.
B
C
It
the
people
in
the
industry
have
singled
out
the
wage
center
for
doing
an
exceptional
work,
one
of
the
things
they
don't
deal
with
volume.
The
the
thing
that
we
have
found
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
are
doing
job
training
programs,
but
our
niche
is
that
people
have
been
through
many
many
job
programs
and
have
been
unsuccessful,
and
this
tense
tries
to
work
with
a
small
group
of
people
intensely.
C
One
of
the
things
we
do
is
we
have
agreements
with
an
area
hotel
in
which
we
we
get
somebody
ready
for
employment
and
they
go
to
work
at
the
hotel
in
an
internship
program.
They
spend
part
of
the
time
in
the
restaurant
and
the
housekeeping
and
many
times
our
people
are
picked
up
by
the
hotel
and
we
stay
on
board
because
some
folks,
one
of
their
issues,
is
getting
to
work
on
time
every
day.
That's
something
that
we
specialize
it.
It's
there's
a
story
to
be
told
here
and
it's
a
you
know:
it's
not
perfect.
C
A
We're
gonna
have
to
move
forth.
Is
we
still
have
to
to
folks
for
public
comment
that
we
haven't
gotten
to
yet
well,
some
of
the
stuff.
We
can
take
her
off
offline
and
I'd
like
to
get
you
over
here
over
there.
Mr.
long
over
there
go
through
this
stuff,
and
you
can
dig
in
and
go
as
deep
as
you
want.
We
just
don't
have
enough
time
right
now.
You
know.
D
A
D
D
D
Up
in
our
community
and
people
in
our
community
haven't
had
a
chance
to
benefit
from
the
experience
of
learning
of
being
a
part
being
connected
to
it.
And
it's
being
told-
and
you
come
through
here,
like
oh
yeah,
we
have
from
the
community
but
now
for
action
to
see
the
actual
names
of
the
people
of
the
community
and
and
it's
another
just.

With
an
architect
has
drawings
and
specifications
the
size
of
the
walls,
this
that
the
contractors
gave
a
bid
and
there's
nothing
in
the
contract
or
the
federal
law
that
says
I
have
that
I
have
any
influence
to
make
them
hire,
they
can
hire
who
they
want
to
hire.
I
try
to
hire
contractors
that
have
good
records,
but
I
have
to
go
with
the
low
bidder.
The
low
qualified
bidder.

Harris
Oberlander
about
Trinity
everything
that
is
going
on
in
Trinity.
He
had
broken
down
so
that
the
the
least
most
intelligent
person
can
understand
what
was
going
on.
It's
a
bunch
of
things
going
on
that
opening
housing
that
you
know,
for
whatever
reason
we
can't
get
that
information,
and
you
know
we
should
be
able
to.
If
not
everybody
the
person
has
representing
that
community
should
be
able
to
have
access
to
that
information,
and
so
that
moving
forward
everything.
A
E
Just
asked
I'm
a
taxpaying
citizen
in
brother,
you
just
a
mr.
Kimbrough
seriously
right
now.
For
the
first
time
in
history,
Albany
I
mean
a
fresh,
a
New
York
state
tour,
the
most
powerful
p.m.
eat
it,
but
you
has
always
been
three:
my
three
white
men
and
room
now
for
the
first
time
ever,
there's
gonna
be
two
black
people
and
one
white
person
in
the
room
in
New,
York,
State
I
say
that
to
say
this
Albany
County
is
ninety
percent,
but
that
dad
did
that
illusion
of
lying
to
us
is
yesterday
right.
E
I
live
in
this
city,
all
my
life,
no
matter
what
anybody
say
about
me
and
people
seem
to
have
a
lot
to
say
why,
because
I
went
to
school
I
graduated
from
Albany
High
class
of
78
I
graduated
from
SUNY
SUNY,
add
new
pause
class
of
83
and
I
got
my
masters
from
the
federal
pen
century
federal
pen
at
41.
It
put
me
in
the
federal
pen
for
marijuana
and
marijuana
is
about
to
be
legal.
E
It's
not
to
be
legal
for
who
the
white
man,
if
there's
always
been
two
laws
in
Albany,
black
and
white,
other
people
might
run
from
it,
but
I
understand
it.
And
what
we're
saying
now
is
this
is
2019
and
the
buck
stops
here.
It's
time
for
us
to
get
some
money
so
that
these
young
people
can
see.
Oh,
oh,
yes,
okay,
so
these
young
people
who
see
me
maybe
I,
know
you're
very
important
brother
because
you've
been
marginalized
Albany
house
before
you've
been
marginalized
marginalized
in
this
city.
For
a
long
time.
Mr.
E
long
I
want
to
ask
you
one
question
and
the
bylaws
and
the
bylaws
of
that
Housing
Authority.
Isn't
it
doesn't
it
say
somewhere
that
people
who
live
in
the
housing
authority
someday?
Could
all
in
the
housing
authority
go
become
only
okay,
then
there's
certainly
I
get
a
lead
to
break
it.
Down
to
you
come
on,
Ali
Ali
Ali
will
bring
it
Ali
did
the
research
on
it
where
he
actually
showed
me
how
the
housing
authority
works,
especially
on
the
federal
level
and
how
we're
supposed
to
be
a
conduit
for
successful
yeah.
That's
true!
That's
true!
E
For
people
yeah,
so
now
we
what
success?
No
I'm
saying
this
I
say
this:
my
I
went
down
I
literally
under
I,
make
I'm
a
skilled
construction
worker.
I
got
kicked
out
of
a
label
Virginia.
Why?
What?
Because
it
is
I
could
do
everything
in
the
ledger.
Rena
I
just
had
too
much
education
to
be
in
a
laborers
Union.
Every
time
I
spoke
I
looked
at
a
different
way
because
I
have
a
college
degree
working
in
a
laborers,
Union
I
went
down
to
the
way
Center
I
went
to
the
waste.
E
I
went
to
Clinton,
Avenue
I
went
down
there
to
during
a
time
period
when
I
really
needed
a
job.
I
needed
a
job.
I
went
down
here,
I
seen
the
big
sign
that
says
no
cameras,
you
can't
buy
audio
bro
I
did
I,
did
everything
possible
to
get
a
job
and
my
neighborhood
doing
what
I
know
how
to
do
I
couldn't
get
a
job.
So
stop
all
that
belzoni!
That's
yesterday,
I
couldn't
get
a
job.
There
is
young
people.
There
is
young
people
that
live
in
this
area.
E
I
tell
you
what
you
keep
operating
like
you.
Keep
up.
You've
been
operating
in
this
village
and
watch
was
it
what's
what's
gonna
happen?
That's
wrong!
Just
keep
doing
what
you've
been
doing.
They
don't
put.
No
effort
is
6,000.
People
came
through
the
door.
If
6,000
people
came
to
do
what
kind
of
effort
did
they
do
to
retain
them?
6,000?
That
means
6,000.
People
had
problems.
We
should
stop
that
people
need
jobs,
6000,
I.
E
Point
I'm
making
is
people
in
this
neighborhood
need
job,
but
we
have
to
deal
with
arrogant
men
like
him
for
30
years.
Arrogant.
Men
like
him
is
the
reason
why
the
black
man
has
nothing
in
this
town.
It's
men
like
him,
that's
been
in
positions
of
power
and
this
village
that
kept
a
foot
on
our
neck.
They
have
this
systematic
way
of
lying
to
us
and
running
this
systemically
y'all.
Mr.
Longo,
you,
the
things
that
you've
been
using
yesterday,
don't
work
no
more.
This
is
2019
and
they
got
some
thing
called
the
Internet
yeah
like.
A
E
E
A
F
B
A
A
A
A
More,
it
gives
time
to
capture
more
information
we
before
we,
we
received
a
biannual
report.
So
if
you
think
of
the
way
the
business
works
throughout
the
year
and
a
lot
of
them,
a
lot
of
its
construction
work
won't
do
the
warmer
months
and
then
slows
down
during
the
wintertime
so
that
the
warmer
months
it's
a
busy
time
and
a
lot
of
stuff
is
going
on
and
to
have
at
the
halfway
point.
