DGS

Here in Albany, the DGS (Department of General Services) is responsible for many things.  Simply put, Albany needs a fully-functioning DGS.  They are responsible for, among other things, the following.

  • Snow removal
  • Garbage collection
  • Maintaining our city’s parks
  • Recycling
  • Street maintenance

Clearly, Albany cannot function without DGS.  With that in mind, I would immediately look into the staffing levels and if those levels are not satisfactory, I will do all that I can to remedy that situation.  The same goes for the budget.

While we can easily part ways with a few APD cops and detectives here and there, we cannot toy around with DGS.
