“In politics you need to step back and re-evaluate your position to serve your constituents effectively. I have the years of experience and know County Government inside out, but I also have the benefit of a respite and as a self employed businessman I know the struggle and pressure families in Putnam are feeling in order to make ends meet.” [...] 
Corrections and Apologies: To the single Serbo-Croation living in Putnam County, I apologize publicly for not having made an ethnic joke about you but to be honest I can’t think of one. But if you’re willing to send one along I promise to work it into a future column the very next time I discuss using šljivovica as a massage lotion. [...] Good Wednesday Morning, Happy Canada Day! Minnesota finally has a US Senator. Sheesh. That took long enough. Norm Colman finally called it quits yesterday after Jesus returned from heaven, sat him down, and told him there was no way in heaven or hell he could pull this one off. Previous to that, Mr. Colman knocked on the door of virtually every and any court that would let him in and they all said the same thing: “Give it up, kid”. He finally has. Keep Putnam Beautiful is again soliciting artists to generate additional custom painted 55 gallon trash cans for use in the county. The two themes optioned are, a 1950′s automobile theme and one for Sybil Ludington, that under appreciated heroine of local fame. These will join the 34 already in existence. For more information write to Walt Thompson. Now that Albany is about as interesting as Kent Town Board meetings used to be back in the day, property tax reform is going to have to wait for another session. While property tax reform (PTR) groups were putting all their eggs into the Omnibus basket (a collection of smaller, politically easy and weaker bills) what they found [...] Financial disclosure rule causes uproar with Putnam volunteers Susan Elan selan@lohud.com A rebellion among some Putnam County advisory board members appears to be in its early stages over a requirement that they fill out financial disclosure forms or face a $10,000 fine. Three volunteer board members have resigned and others are threatening to follow suit. Elected officials and high-level county employees must complete the forms annually as a means to monitor potential conflicts of interest. In the past, only the chairmen of advisory boards had to disclose information on their income, investments, real estate holdings, debts and possible gain from contracts with Putnam and its towns.

Putnam Valley has had a lot of trouble with two different parcels alreadywithin the Putnam County Agricultural District. The taxpayers have expended a lot of money in litigation costs, and neither problem has been resolved. The disputes stem entirely as a result of the inclusion of these parcels in the Ag district. Understand first that the designation of a parcel as part of the ag district does not preserve that land as a farm. It does not preclude the development of that land into a housing subdivision. It does not help the farmer to remain a viable agricultural endeavor. It does not even affect the assessment of the parcel. An agricultural exemption on taxes is entirely separate from this process. What this designation does do is insure that local zoning codes cannot be enforced by the Town in which the farm is located. That is its purpose.
