Dutchess County offers dental discount plan to county residents

Friends of Mount Nimham

This facebook group had this to say about yours truly the other day:

Friends of Mount Nimham

Vandal Jeff Green has once again ventured into his unique brand of crazy! After defending the vandals on Mount Nimham last Fall, he admitted that he himself likes to “tag” the historic fire tower. Is he a 16 year-old who doesn’t know any better? No, he’s a 50+ deadbeat who wants to turn our beautiful landscape into his hometown Hempstead LI, the pits of LI. His constant rants against God and country show just how out of touch he is with most of the people here.

So, I’m a godless communist deadbeat supporter of shopping malls. Do these folks even have a clue or, heh… nah.

Then, back on July 16th they tried to take credit for stopping the logging project there.

So it’s clear whoever the writer is, is clearly delusional and that narrows it down to one of two people and they know who they are and you do too.
