Albany County airport funds face closure without state approval
Albany County faces possible shutdown of the Albany County Airport if the legislature does not authorize funding for a $4 million east-west runway extension. County Attorney John J. Clyne told Gov. Rockefeller the county needs $1.5 million from the 1967 Transportation Bond Issue, with $500,000 from the county and the remainder from federal aid. A separate bill proposes a fairer method for suspensions and demotions during budget cuts, backed by the Civil Service Employer Association. In Troy, Eugene L. Cuozzo was appointed to fill the Third District seat after a 3-3 council vote decided by Judge Dan G. Farano. Democrat widow Mrs. Louis Rizzo calls the result a fraud.
