NEW YORK — A bus carrying about 40 asylum seekers from New York City arrived in Albany on Sunday evening, the mayor of the capital city said Monday. The trip appeared more orderly than New York City's attempted migrant transports to other upstate municipalities, which have brought fierce resistance and court challenges. Albany's mayor, Kathy Sheehan, said her city welcomed the arrivals. But she seemed to quibble with the Adams administration's hotel selection for the migrants. 'While we suggested several other hotels within the City of Albany, New York City has decided to contract with the Ramada Inn on Watervliet Avenue in Albany,' Sheehan, a Democrat, said in a statement.
