City crews can't keep up - Residents are taking charge

People in the Stockade section of Schenectady say they're tired of watching graffiti vandals mark up their neighborhood, so they decided to do something about it.

"We want to make it look nice so they will want to move to the area but things like that happen," explained Carmella Ruscitto of the East Front Street Neighborhood Association.

The City's General Services Commissioner says his crews are overwhelmed with painting over the spray paint and it's tough to keep up.
