TROY DEMOCRATS TO FILE LAWSUIT TO HALT "HALLIBURTON ON THE HUDSON"

NEWS ADVISORY

WHAT: News conference announcing the filing of a lawsuit to block the sale of Troy City Hall because the City did not follow proper procedures for public notification and bidding.

WHO: Jim Conroy, candidate for Troy Mayor, and other local politicians and citizens

WHEN: Wednesday, Sept. 19
6:30pm (just prior to the 7:00 meeting in City Hall on the issue)

WHERE: Outside of Troy City Hall
1 Monument Square in Troy

WHY: Making plans to sell City Hall without a public notification is, at best, unethical. In fact, significant questions remain as to whether City Hall can be legally sold. Once that decision was made, however, ethical problems were compounded by not opening the process up to public bid and scrutiny.
