    There’s plenty to do if you take the time to look — some of the nation’s oldest museums, a stately Capitol, award-winning restaurants, and a basketball game or two downtown. @RebeccaLobo, let’s take a ride before you leave town. Happy to show you all there is to see and do.
    "Good luck finding something to do in Albany." Albany catches a stray from @RebeccaLobo...

    Thank you @NYGovCuomo for deploying additional @nyspolice resources in #Albany at my request to help combat the recent surge of senseless and depraved instances of gun violence. NYSP will patrol in Albany alongside @albanypolice as well as on their own.

    I am so appreciative of the leadership and advocacy of Senate Majority Leader @SenSchumer as well as @gillibrandny and @RepPaulTonko for including a $1.5 million earmark in the recently-passed Omnibus Appropriations Bill to help replace Albany City Hall’s Roof.

    I’m just going to leave this here:
    Can @MayorSheehan tell us which is the correct way to pronounce Albany?
