Breaking News: Democracy – 0. Corporate Welfare -1

Mr. Griffin was simply grandstanding and deflecting and pulling facts out of his ass because the reality is that I don’t belong to, nor am I a member of any of those organizations and I had to remind him of that. But what did any of that have to do with corporate welfare? Well, you know the old saying, when you’ve run out of ideas, change the subject. [...]

News That Matters – Monday, November 15, 2010 – The Anniversary Edition

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. [...]

In contrast to the 800 TEA baggers who rallied at the county courthouse a few months back, this one was thankfully and mostly free of the overt racism that pervaded that former event. And though there were head-nods to illegal immigrants and keeping America “safe” from terrorists (don’t even get me started) and “overthrowing” Obamacare, the main thrust of the anger of this entirely white, late 40′s, solidly middle class crowd was… the Republican Party.

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.
