I will be there to hear the State of the Town speech. Anyone going to be joining me? Will we be given any opportunity to comment on out of control spending, salaries and taxes?

If this recent wave of break ins and armed robbery continues, will we lose our status as the worlds safest Town? (Ha) Maybe the police should not have so much time off? They are off three days each week (43% of the week) PLUS another 81 days EACH YEAR! 30 vacation, 24 sick, 8 bereavement,7 personal and 12 holidays. Is it possible that this is the reason for these crimes? After all, you have to be"on the job" to do the job.

81days off a year is the equivalent of 11 weeks and 4 days. And when they return they only work 57% of the week. Thank God that the citizens of this Town are law abiding.

While all of these comments are great one needs to see something more than words. When are all of you going to coalesce around a candidate that is completely independent and who can effectively challenge the incumbents. Who is the person in this community who is going to run for Supervisor next time around and who will begin to articulate a set of options that the public can be informed about over the next 2 years? You need to begin by removing the Head of the Republican Party who can't seem to understand that he is supposed to suupport his party's candidate. Until you sort out the rot in the ranks you are not going to sort out any perceived rot at the top.

Stop with the 81 days off already. You presume the employee is sick for 24 days and someone in his or her family dies each year. And how dare they have 12 national holidays every year! You would be better off focusing on state mandates and state arbitration and pension rules.

We should focus on all of it, but the fact that the PBA has the politicians in their pocket makes it a pretty tough row to hoe. If they don't use their sick days, they cash them in at a cost of close to 3 million dollars per year to the town's taxpayers.

Why not cut out the middle man and just send the money directly to the religious schools.

Mr. Pointing says that an issues conference is unusual. The unusual step is called for because this…Read More project is highly unusual; it is unprecedented. This French-owned water company wants to implement its pet technology at our expense - it makes sense for the company because the project makes lots of money. There is information available that calls into question the "definitive" studies carried out by the water company. Of course they found that their technology was the best option - what a surprise! They have not made the case that they carried out a disinterested examination of the issues in the public interest. Yes there are still issues. Also, stop threatening us with increased costs from delay. First, it does not make sense and second, you are trying to bully us into accepting your proposal. That is one more sign that something is wrong in your proposal.

An issues conference will be a wast of time and money. So many ' issues ' have been pulled out of…Read More thin air. The people who organized against the plant will just keep saying the same thing. No amount of info will be enough, no answer will be accepted. The issues conference will be a circus of endless questions, ideas, and demands. Haverstraw bay reclassified as drinking water will better protect it, provide an endless supply of water and finally help end the stereotype of the Hudson being polluted

There were no open meetings. I attended the April meeting and Mr. Lettre was directed by the Town…Read More Board to return with more precise estimates and to include options for other upgrades. I have attended every meeting of the Town Board since that time and Mr. Lettre never returned in an open meeting.
Mr. Borelli indicated that Mr. Lettre had addressed his concerns directly and privately.
According to the Open Meetings Law, the deliberations of the Town Board are to be open and visible to the public. Private individual meetings or communications with members of the Town Board so as to avoid open deliberations flouts the intent of the Open Meetings Law.
Mr. Gromack's statement of other meetings is inaccurate and, since it was specifically in response to a question about open meetings, dishonest.
Mr. Borelli, shame on you for accepting a private communication and not standing by your guidance to Mr. Lettre that he was to come back to an open meeting of the Town Board.

There is something almost musical about the hum of the cicadas. Of course, it may bother me more if I lived in the "affected area" and heard it constantly. Upon entering this nearby neighborhood, the sound crescendos. And yet, it can't be heard a couple of streets away.
The drone of locusts is more bothersome than these 17 year cicadas.
