So, Kent’s CAC chair forwarded a complaint on to someone who was being complained about based on a request from Mr. M, asking them to stop being “vandals” and this, somehow, is a scandal? Evidence tampering? Obstructing justice? Potential remedies? And then the not-so-subtle blackmail attempt at the end. Blackmail! If the town agrees that forwarding an email request to remedy a condition was the correct thing to do, then Mr. M will… what? Is he really blackmailing the town? [...]
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. [...]
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!

Tamagna wants state to help with Patterson Crossing road fixes
PATTERSON — The Putnam County Legislature last week never voted on a controversial measure to reimburse developer Paul Camarda with sales-tax money for road fixes he makes near his proposed Patterson Crossing shopping center.
Lawmakers on Wednesday night were expected to vote on creating a road-improvement district benefiting the shopping center.
The measure would have allowed the county to reimburse Camarda up to $3.75 million for improvements he makes to Route 311 or the Interstate 84 ramps with sales-tax revenues earmarked for that purpose. But Legislature Chairman Vincent Tamagna, R-Philipstown, said the state should also step in since those are both state roads.
“If we’re going to pay a portion, then the state should pay a portion,” said Tamagna, adding he would like to see a 50-50, county-state split.
