Hey! Yeah you! No one in the Valley has an events listing like PlanPutnam/News That Matters, so pass this on to people you know who are not regular readers. You’ll sleep better at night, it’ll clear up your acne, your dog will have fewer fleas and the fates will smile upon your every step. [...] ![200666_10150129988565798_688385797_6443220_138090_n[1]](http://www.planputnam.org/ntm/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/200666_10150129988565798_688385797_6443220_138090_n1-150x150.jpg "200666_10150129988565798_688385797_6443220_138090_n[1]")
Last week I wrote about how Congresswoman Nan Hayworth took the side of corporate America when faced with the question of what she would do about major corporations that paid no income taxes. It seems that companies like GE, who earned $14.2 billion last year with $5.1 billion of that coming from US earnings, paid $0 in taxes. And who did Barack Obama select to head his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness? GE’s Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt. It’s better than a fox in a hen house. And you know, now that Congress *and* the President are both in lock-step (or is that goose-step?) with the Corporations it’s only going to get worse. [...] I’ll bet the “Democrats For Leibell” are a little red-faced this morning and if Greg Ball and Anthony Scannapieco are gloating right now, well, they kinda deserve it. What I want to know is if the Senator knew about this during the campaign. If so, there’s a real problem on top of everything else. [...] Today, while you’re taking a break from setting the table for tomorrow or packing the diapers for the trip to the inlaws, call William Gorton the Acting Regional Director for NYSDOT Region 8 at 845 431-5750 and calmly explain your opposition. He may send you to someone else or say there’s nothing he can do and that’s fine: your call still matters. And if he gets 20 or so over the next week… ya never know! [...] Early maps show Philipstown being more recatngularish from when it was divvied up among the Philipse Family. The 1892 USGS map shows the current westernmost line of Kent, the line that runs along the Philisptown Pike (Route 301) AND the *old* town line as well. That line is missing from the 1941 map which has the current town lines in position. [...] Would someone please tell me what “our moral American heritage” refers to? Slavery? Segregation? The genocide of the people who were here before us? The Salem Witch Trials? “No Irish Need Apply”? Timothy McVeigh? “No Hebrews, Africans or Dogs”? [...] 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! [...] 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. If any of that will let you down I’m sorry, but after a pretty good fight with a conservative god-fearing congressional candidate last evening that caused me to lose my cool in public over what defines “the general welfare” I’m just plum wiped out. So if you need something humorous to help you wake up this morning see this instead: Action Alert: If you were planning on coming to court for Lori Kemp on Monday there will be no court for Lori, at least. This is an evolving story but suffice to say that if all goes well we’ll have a happy ending to this chapter in that epic struggle between a property owner and the political establishment in the Town of Carmel. Stay tuned! Heterosexual Update! Greg Ball had a girlfriend. We didn’t even know she existed until she held a press conference yesterday to slam Mary Beth Murphy’s latest salvo against him in their struggle for the hearts and minds of the Republican [...] Man thinks he bought electronics equipment; ends up with box of rocks BREWSTER – A Putnam County man thought he was getting a good deal when two men in a vehicle with New Jersey registration offered him high end electronics equipment for $650. Instead, he was taken for a costly ride. The men approached the victim in the parking lot of the Marshall’s department store in the Town of Southeast, showed him the electronics boxes that were fully sealed with tape. The man apparently did not look inside any of the boxes but paid the money. The suspects loaded the heavy boxes into his vehicle and the victim drove home where he opened the boxes to find them full of rocks and wood. Anyone who may have information related to that crime or is a victim of a scam like that is asked to call Investigator Armando Barquin at Brewster State Police at 845-279-8656. via Man thinks he bought electronics equipment; ends up with box of rocks. 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. [...] |
