Albany Measures R & S did not reach the 60% threshold for a yes or no position to be taken.
More on the ballot you want to talk about? Get in touch. There was too much to cover at one meeting considering all the State measures, but if you are interested we can hold another meeting this month or next when ballots come out.
And you can watch the video on YouTube here.
