Note to licensed contractors in Putnam County: That bi-annual tax you pay to the county for permission to work here is, for some of you, about to go up. Forget that the recession has decimated many of us financially, and that those fees are paying for a department from which we contractors earn no benefit. The county has decided that in order to educate you about new laws concerning phosphorus reduction they’re going to increase those fees to charge you for their as yet to be determined educational program. At least that’s where the legislative committee is now… stay tuned! . . . → Read More: News That Matters – Friday, August 6, 2010 – Things To Do Edition

Politicians all over the valley are busily trying to find ways to grow service at Stewart Airport. And while that may be good for those of you who travel to Orlando or St. Louis, those living under the flight path will have a different take on the matter. Several years ago a coalition of citizen’s groups stopped plans to make Stewart the world’s largest air cargo facility which would have had flights into and out of the airport every 3 minutes, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Now we’re back to this. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Though we’ve generated many, many letters to the District Attorney’s office, the judge himself has shown no inclination to chastise a smirking Frances O’Reilly, Ms. Kemp’s former attorney, for his admitted refusal to adequately represent her, (where most judges would have dope-slapped him from here to law school and back), and our letters, phone calls and personal meetings have all failed to persuade The Machine that this case is unfair, unjust and plain old dumb, we don’t hold much hope that justice will be served on that day. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – Friday, July 16, 2010 – Things To Do Edition

Good Friday Morning,
Quick Poll Results:
In this unscientific poll with a margin of error exceeding 130%, we asked who your preference would be for County Executive. The names that appeared were either those who have been talked about or came in via your nominations and each voter saw them in a random order. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – February 19, 2010 – Things To Do Edition

Peter Collins and Maureen Fleming have a few things in common. For one, they’re both qualified attorneys with long standing practices. For another, they’re both running for Town Justice in the Town of Kent in primaries for the Democratic, Independence and Working Families party lines. While a few misanthropic Republican candidates have gone negative even before the primary, others (we do not know their party affiliations) are going negative on Collins and Fleming. In the former case it’s a letter to the Courier about mythical and magical situations which never transpired and passed on as facts and a widely mailed attack piece on Judge Collins. In the latter case, it’s missing and damaged campaign signs. Some cut in half. Others destroyed. Some missing entirely. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – September 14, 2009

Peekskill Hollow Road – update I’ve been down this road before.
What Has Happened They have changed their language. Since everyone is in favor of road maintenance, bridge maintenance, drainage improvements and a safe entrance at the high school, that is what they talk about now. Nobody explains quite what that means.

Wendy Whetsel: Protecting Peekskill Hollow Road
Peekskill Hollow Road was an ancient Indian path used by the Native Wappinger people of the Algonquin nation. The path was deeded to the town In 1691 by Dutch Burghers, Jan Sybrant and Lambert Dorlandt. The land of the “Peekskill Hollow” was settled by tenant farmers in 1720. Sybil Luddington traveled on parts of Peekskill Hollow in April of 1777 to warn of the arrival of British Soldiers. This is but the bare bones and there is much additional history. . . . → Read More: Wendy Whetsel: Protecting Peekskill Hollow Road
