Rensselaer Mayor Warns Against Election Night Arson Traditions
Rensselaer Mayor Joseph Mink told the Common Council that arson threats around elections require patrols by police, overtime duty for police, and volunteer firemen on Halloween and election night. Alderman Lester Jeffries cited recent fires on Second Street as suspicious and urged action. The council also approved raises, public works fixes for flooding, and the sale of an unused city car while delaying a full-time fire chief decision.
