Last week, I hinted that I might still be able to somehow get on the November ballot for Albany’s mayoral race. I have come to the conclusion that getting on that ballot is unrealistic.
In order to do so, I would have to obtain 1,500 valid signatures from properly registered Albany voters and I would have to do so within the next 12 days. That is simply not doable for me, so unfortunately, I am once and for all unfortunately out. I suppose anything’s possible, but since there’s no way I can hit 1,500 signatures in that few day (by close of business on the 24th), there’s no sense in even trying, right?
It’s a shame, too. I could have and would have done a lot of good for Albany:
- I would have worked closely with ICE to get illegals out of Albany.
- I would have slashed the police department’s budget and I would have parted ways with a lot of excess fat.
- I would have drastically cut the library system’s budget.
- I would have restored the city speed limit.
- I would have banished all breeds of vicious dogs.
- I would have lowered property taxes.
- I would have addressed the serious issue of potholes and lack of road maintenance.
- I would have gotten rid of DEI in Albany.
- I would have paved over that disgusting LGBT flag on Lark Street.
- I would have revitalized Albany’s business district and I would have made it my priority to attract new industries, businesses and residents to New York’ finest city.
There’s just so much that I could have done. Instead, you’ll be stuck with someone who will actually do the city more harm than good. For once, you would have had a politically unaffiliated mayor whose loyalty would have been to people over parties.
No matter who wins in November, Albany’s fucked. I would have been the only one who could have unfucked it.
