Did you know that in October 1968, Segregationist candidate George Wallace came to the steps of the Capitol in Albany to speak as part of his presidential campaign? He was greeted by "Heil Hitler" and other loud boisterous protests. Video by Mary Paley

GUILDERLAND — A week after a judge in Albany County Supreme Court ruled in favor of a group of Westmere residents and a Guilderland gas-station owner who were seeking to stop construction of a 222-unit development on Rapp Road and proposed Costco Wholesale store, a not-for-profit organization has filed a lawsuit over the same projects.
Save the Pine Bush is bringing the suit based on the Guilderland Planning Board’s August adoption of the findings statement for Pyramid’s Rapp Road and Western Avenue projects, as well as the October site-plan approval given to the company’s apartment and townhome development — an approval that was given based on the findings statement.
State Supreme Court Justice Peter Lynch was unsparing when he ruled last week that the environmental review of apartments and a Costco store proposed for Guilderland was far from thorough.
Judge Lynch, in a highly detailed 77-page ruling on a lawsuit brought by town residents, knocked the developer, Pyramid Management Group, for keeping its plans for the massive new development a secret, and criticized the Guilderland Town Planning Board for cutting corners as it undertook the state Environmental Quality Review Act process
