An attorney for Colonie Coliseum will argue in state Supreme Court on Sept 8 that Colonie’s four year old anti nudity ordinance is vague and overbroad and risks arresting a nursing mother. The case follows July arrests of Flame Kostern and Gloria LaMere for topless dancing and allowing topless performances. Charges were continued to Oct 5 as Coliseum plans a suit alleging violation of free expression. A separate Albany note says Mayor Corning expects pay raises for the next elected officials if re-elected, boosting his own $20 000 salary to about $23 000 to $25 000.
