$123,000 per year per Job.

Those jobs at the proposed Sema-Tech in Albany must pretty darn well paying, at least the amount the state is planning to pay for them. The state is agreeing to give that big wealthy chip manufacturer $600 million for 450 jobs (hiring in staters or out of staters) over 7 years.

Albany County Bans Trans Fat.

If you were hoping to go to a restaurant and get some trans fat in our fine county, then your out of luck with the new county law that passed earlier this week.

Cuomo for Governor?
