Note to licensed contractors in Putnam County: That bi-annual tax you pay to the county for permission to work here is, for some of you, about to go up. Forget that the recession has decimated many of us financially, and that those fees are paying for a department from which we contractors earn no benefit. The county has decided that in order to educate you about new laws concerning phosphorus reduction they’re going to increase those fees to charge you for their as yet to be determined educational program. At least that’s where the legislative committee is now… stay tuned! . . . → Read More: News That Matters – Friday, August 6, 2010 – Things To Do Edition

Good Friday Morning,
It’s been a busy week and I’m exhausted so today’s column will be short on information, bereft of it’s usual humor and pathos and generally concerned about nothing of importance whatsoever.

A note to Mayor Bloomberg: Early yesterday morning you said, “Terrorists who want to take our freedoms away from us focus on the symbol of those freedoms, and that’s New York City.” Mr. Mayor, the only terrorists who can take away our freedoms are ourselves. Osama bin Laden didn’t shred the US Constitution or write the USA PATRIOT Act, we did that all on our own. In the future, please cut the hyperbole and stay focused. Thanks. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – May 3, 2010

My question about these things is always the same: why not put the effort into cleaning up the stormwater and septic problems that are causing all this vegetation to grow and solve the problem once and for all? Perhaps in the future, before DEC allows application of herbicides, they require that it be part of a larger program that will lead to that application being the final step in an overall process? Otherwise, we find ourselves repeating the same steps over and again and never really solving the problem at the base. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – April 30, 2010 – Things To Do Edition
