Mr. Griffin was simply grandstanding and deflecting and pulling facts out of his ass because the reality is that I don’t belong to, nor am I a member of any of those organizations and I had to remind him of that. But what did any of that have to do with corporate welfare? Well, you know the old saying, when you’ve run out of ideas, change the subject. [...]

Carmel schools budget cuts 47.5 positions | LoHud.com
PATTERSON — The Carmel school district’s 2010-11 budget calls for cutting the equivalent of 47.5 full-time positions with about 30 of those teachers or teaching assistants.
Schools Superintendent James Ryan said about a third of those classroom-based jobs will be eliminated through retirements. With about $1.6 million less in state aid expected in the next school year, compared to this year, and increasing pension and retirement costs, preparing the new budget was difficult, he said during a recent presentation at Matthew Paterson Elementary School. Ryan said having the district operate next year at 2009-10 levels wasn’t feasible.
The 2010-11 budget carries a 4.31 percent tax-levy increase. Spending would increase 1.79 percent to $105,991,161, from $104,124,361 this year.
Ryan said the district was discussing salary freezes with its unions. Should every employee, including himself, forgo an increase in the 2010-11 school year, he would recommend eliminating layoffs. In Brewster, the teachers association earlier this year approved a contract that included a salary freeze for next school year and an increase in their health-care contributions.

Action Update: For those who would like to see a little justice in our fair county there is still time to help us get the charges leveled against Carmel resident Lori Kemp dropped and our letter writing campaign to District Attorney Adam Levy is in full swing. If you have not yet written (why is that?) there’s some good information and a sample letter here in a post called, “How You Can Help Lori Kemp” which has had more than 100 visits in the past few days!

Ginny Nacerino, Patterson Town Councilwoman, said we all know what we want, but how do we get there. She also pointed out that she works for the Brewster school district and could not imagine how they could consolidate school administration offices given the very serious and hard work that she witnesses daily.

Yeah, I’ve been away for a lot of reasons that only a few of you have asked about until a wonderful event, an 80th birthday party for longtime Kent resident Kathy Freston last Wednesday evening, when a number of people got on my case – and in my face – about not publishing News That Matters. And then over this past weekend I received a number of emails asking what’s happened. If you’ve written or called you know. If you haven’t, then you haven’t missed the column. [...]
Rental unit occupancy rates are down as are rents as fewer are able to afford the high cost of local residency. Brewster has so many apartments for rent they don’t know what to do and the homeless population is rising across the nation as people are forced out of their homes and apartments for their inability to cover their monthly payments. The national suicide rate has also steadily increased as people find themselves buried under a growing mountain of debt – not from credit cards mind you, but from the day-to-day bills that can no longer being met and who see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Good Friday Morning,
Quick Poll Results:
In this unscientific poll with a margin of error exceeding 130%, we asked who your preference would be for County Executive. The names that appeared were either those who have been talked about or came in via your nominations and each voter saw them in a random order. Here are the results:
Jeff Green 43% Other (see below) 17% Vincent Leibell 13% Chris Leiberman 7% Dan Birmingham 7% Robert Bondi 7% Vincent Tamagna 7% Denis Sant 0% Tony Hay 0% Sheriff Donald Smith 0%
Under “Other”, each of the following received one vote: Sarah Casey (I think her mom voted for her), Pedro (who we know is Peter Hansen), Ken Harper, John Degnan and Sam Oliverio.
If the election were held today and only News That Matters readers voted, I’d be the dude on the top floor of the County Office Building for the next few years. I can see Messers. Camarda, Santucci and Lepler having a hard time swallowing that but it wouldn’t be so bad! A populist libertarian like myself is just what this county needs. More of the same old crap is what we don’t need. [...]
