Well, folks, this part of the battle is over again. Again. But this being Putnam County where one-party government will do what it pleases – even if it says something else – this whole thing can come roaring back once again so let’s not let our guard down. Ever. . . . → Read More: County Legislature Kills Corporate Welfare Try. Again. We need to watch the county legislature rather closely these days. With a brewing scandal over the use of their official letterhead for personal purposes continuing to rile people, many wonder if Vincent Tamagna has the support of his fellows to continue on with his position as Chair of that body. While no one is perfect and everyone has skeletons in their closet, (including you and me), this incident, following closely on the heels of the disastrous Tilly Foster contract (see here, here, here and here), should be enough to shake them from their complacency, take notice and take action. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – Wednesday, June 23, 2010 While banks are foreclosing on homes across the region, that $3.7 million could go a long way towards helping distressed homeowners and if the County Legislature wants to dole out the bucks they could at least help those folks. Or open a full time walk-in health and dental clinic. Or heck, even free the tank they’ve got in a cage at the county park. I mean, really… if the Legislature insists on spending that money on something other than the general fund, at least spend it in a way that would benefit the residents of this county and not a resident of Ridgefield, Connecticut. . . . → Read More: Just When You Thought…. Redux Sometimes it seems we’re living in a world that even Franz Kafka could not have envisioned and that Philip K. Dick has never had even in wildest nightmares. The Russian bureaucracy of Kafka’s day has nothing on Putnam County today. For just when you think it’s safe to go on about your lives our elected officials do something so outrageous that you want to take the entire lot and have them locked in stocks along Lake Gleneida. Just such an event took place last week when a letter from Vincent Tamagna, written on official Legislative stationary, ended up as an insert in the Putnam County News and Reporter.

But it’s really pretty simple and straightforward. Keep in mind also, that Mr. T was the main force on the Legislature pushing for adoption of the Tilly Foster lease deal… and we know how good that turned out. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – June 9, 2010 If anyone reading in The City has an available apartment, spare bedroom or a comfy couch for me to sleep on from Thursday night (late) June 3rd through Saturday night June 5th, please let me know.

Just when you thought it’s safe to trust the Legislature again….
Sources say that the County Legislature, led by Philipstown’s Vincent Tamagna, and the Physical Services Committee which is headed up by Kent’s Richard Othmer, is now actively working with the State DOT to get them to pay for the road improvements developer Paul Camarda had promised to make on his own dime. Apparently the $3.7 million is a make-or-break deal for him and that without someone footing the bill Patterson Crossing may be mortally wounded. . . . → Read More: Just when you thought it’s safe to trust the Legislature again….
