Water rate hike passed amid protests in Troy
The Troy city council voted four to two to raise water rates to generate about 400000 more next year. Opponents warned homeowners and businesses would flee the city. After the vote the crowd called council members robots and budget bananas. Mayor Connally led the opposing bloc citing an 800000 year budget surplus. City Manager Buckley cited a 450000 water budget deficit that would grow without the raise. In Rensselaer County, County Executive Murphy vowed to veto a slimmer budget package and criticized the majority resolutions as inadequate to meet obligations. Democratic leader Manupella said a reaction would come Tuesday night as he works to seek peace with Murphy.
