Taxpayers push for Troy audit amid budget concerns
A group of Troy taxpayers urged an in-depth audit of the city's finances after a two hour budget hearing. They plan to request the audit through the city council, and then with state help if needed. The 1969 budget proposes a $6.68 per $1,000 tax increase. About 60 residents attended despite a snowstorm and called the city's handling of finances shocking. In county data, about 51 percent of Rensselaer County property is tax exempt, with Troy at 46 percent totaling $92 million. In Albany, New York State exports climbed to 78 million dollars under the state Commerce Department program, a limit given industry and farmer participation.
