Civic leaders are once again coming together to talk about issues facing the city of Albany.
Albany has been torn over gun violence for years: Despite leaders’ best efforts to get guns out of circulation, they continue to proliferate. A slate of anti-gun advocates have never been able to unite over the issue. The city is also divided over expanding Albany High School, and the Dontay Ivy death has been a sore spot for police-community relations.
Unity is to be the "prime agenda" Saturday at the Alternative learning Center at 50 North Lark St: A forum/discussion titled "Unity in the Community" will be held beginning at 2. Confirmed participants and speakers include Mayor Kathy Sheehan and Assemblywoman Pat Fahy.
