The Times Union articles about the no-fine tickets NEVER mentioned that Jennings personal vehicle was on the list! I am removing that mention. That entire section has very little to do with Jennings and looks like an anti-Jennings slur and POV. "Distinguishing features" talking about his skin color and tanning habits?! The entire article has slurs and is terrible! I'm rewriting the article. Camelbinky ( talk) 20:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Should we list the current four primary opponents here or perhaps create a separate page on the 2009 primary?
By my count the declared candidates are: Corey Ellis, Shawn Morris, Marlon Anderson, and ?? Faust. DMorpheus ( talk) 14:02, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
I would suggest creating a new section heading for "2009 primary", where it should start off with a short paragraph citing the proportion of dems vs. republicans in the city (the exact numbers on Albany, New York just lift them with the citation and paste them here with a statement along the lines of- due to this majority of dems the primaries are often more important than the general election in determining the mayor. Then "his opponents as of" put the current month "are-" and then list those people you mention along with hopefully Faust's first name. If they have a profession (councilman, council president, etc) I would list that alongside their name. I'm in favor of this kind of prose since just straight lists are frowned upon. Since you and I keep a good watch on this page I'm sure if new candidates join or old ones drop it will get updated fairly quickly and eventually it will need to be removed as it will no longer be encyclopedic info. Quite a fair number of former Albany mayors have pages, something that I've always thought strange for Albany's size, you may want to check them out if you havent already to see if there are sections or types of info that the Jennings article is lacking.

I removed the mention of Corey Ellis and Jennings "no-fine tickets". This is not part of the ghost-ticket scandal, which concerned secret decals given to *friends and family* of city officials and police officers. The mention of Ellis and Jennings has to do with their official parking placards which all city officials have for use parking in the city when on official business. The part I deleted conflated the two systems, which had the effect of smearing Ellis mostly but also Jennings. It also suggests a conclusion, that Ellis is the worst violator of a policy he attacked, but since they are separate systems, another conclusion could be that he is just the hardest working council member.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.67.49.134 ( talk) 03:18, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
