Discussion over public safety continued as the Albany Common Council convened virtually Monday night.
Councilors continued to discuss three major issues: Local Law C, which would ban tear gas and rubber bullets; the COVID Recovery Task Force, and the South Station incidents, from the April 14th clash between police and protestors to the April 22nd clearing of demonstrators who set up a tent city on the street outside the police station.
Ninth ward Common Councilor Judy Doesschate proposed Local Law C, which a majority of councilors did not want to vote on during a mid-April meeting because of disagreement as to whether to allow the use of tear gas and rubber bullets in certain circumstances. A public comment period took up half of Monday night s meeting. Residents continue to urge the panel to pass the measure. Nairobi Vives chairs of the Community Police Review Board.

CONWAY â What a difference a month makes.
The Conway School Board had been facing a $2.1 million increase to the proposed 2021-22 operating budget. But after extensive meetings between administrators and âsome difficult decisionsâ being made, on Monday night, Superintendent Kevin Richard was able to present to the board a new budget that was about $1 million lower.
The operating budget that the school board unanimously voted to accept on Monday totals $37,439,229 (excluding warrant articles). It is up 3.46 percent over the current 2020-21 budget of $36,185,460.
âWe definitely sharpened the pencils,â Richard said at Monday s Zoom-held school board meeting, which was attended by about 30 people.
