Rapes, murders, jewelry store thefts… yeah, that’s Putnam County these days. It’s odd and strange and slightly encouraging that the artificial walls we’ve set up to prevent the outside world from coming in are coming down. As for our county and town governments, we have the County Legislature passing memorandum calling for the state to increase funding for this or that. We’ve got caretaker County Executive Paul Eldridge blaming ‘unfunded mandates’ for county budgetary issues, issues that could be resolved if the county would just man-up and cut the budget. In other words, whether we like it or not we’re just like everyone else save that our governments are constructed of tax-and-spend Republicans. Go figure. [...]

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! [...]

In particular, I have been able to witness the renewal of downtown Historic Liberty Street, at one time a nearly commercially vacant street, now bustling with numerous small businesses. The city of [...] [...]
