The F.C.C. is searching Bob Ament on Web Crawler. I wonder why?

Political Protestors On Town Hall Property
John Perticone and Mary Joyce D'Aurizio - why was this allowed?
It's political, isn't it?
Special Town Board Meeting on 9/8/2011
Wonder what it's about?
UPDATE:
I believe the calendar was updated around 6pm to show what the STBM is about:

What Bill?
Do you remember the June 21st Town Board Meeting where Marasco asked the board to pass a resolution requiring that Congel pay $750,000 the town believes it is owed based on the PILOT agreement — or risk termination of the PILOT? His motion for a resolution died for lack of a second.....because....."the town board is getting tough with the Medley Developer" - what a joke that headline was.
Anyways, MJD said during the meeting that "there's a current bill in the State Legislature's ways and means committee in Albany that could have an impact on the project."
What bill would that be? I've searched the archives of bills - and I checked out the updates on the NYS Assembly Ways And Means and I found nothing that resembles a bill that could have an impact on Medley Centre.

You Can Be Political At Public Input
According to the Town Code for Public Input - there is nothing in there about "not being political" in your comments at Public Input. There is also nothing in there about commenting only on what is on the agenda.
You can talk politics, be political, and talk about anything you want. You cannot personally attack any member of the board, staff, department head, or resident.
Be respectful - always.

It's That Time Of Year Again
Campaign Finance/Disclosure Reports are out for the 32 Day Pre Primary, and the July Periodic.
Since we are all about not being political at Town Board meetings - it is IMPERATIVE that you review the disclosure reports to see who donated to what campaigns and if anyone on these reports go up to speak at Public Input - we can accuse them of being political. Correct? Ok then, on to the reports! :)

Everything Is Political
Town Board Meeting.....
I'm sorry - but are you f$#%!@* kidding me with that whole "You're being political" junk at public input? Is she going to do that to every speaker she disagrees with or doesn't like? Since they are all basically politicians sitting on that board, and every speaker from January 1st to December 31st of that year could be political in their public input.......are they only censured around election time? How come when they ran for public office, it was ok for them to coincidentally show up for public input around election time and "be political" in their comments? Why was it ok for John and Stephanie to go up at public input when they were running for Town Board? When Mary Ellen Jones mentions that she was a Senator, or a proud Democrat.....isn't that political? That was allowed.
How come the cross endorsement comments from June/July meetings weren't "censured"?
Aldersley and Perticone showing up for Public Input around election time - Aldersley introduced as a Legislator and Perticone lobbying for using local labor for Walgreens (a private development)......wasn't that political? Is it a coincidence that all current Town Board members never really spoke at public input that much - but around August (if there is a primary) and October (just before November elections) - the candidates are alllllll about giving their public input at that time. Uncanny.
October 2005 and also in 2007.

Birth & Rebirth
All I can say is "FINALLY" - this idea was talked about long ago, and it's nice to see someone finally stepping up to give birth to this idea. A "rebirth" of this area of Irondequoit was wanted by many and necessary in my opinion. I like the idea. I really do.
The "someone stepping up" is a local person - Mike Nolan. The idea is to create a "Town Square" in the Cooper/Titus area. Existing businesses will not be pushed out. The H.O.G. would stay as is. A gathering place for the community - and a walkable area for shopping and leisurely strolling.
The best part about it, in my opinion, is that this is a local idea, a local person proposing it - not some out of state millionaire who could give a rip about community, or a developer out to make a quick buck at the expense of the community.
Good luck and I certainly hope it comes to fruition! How exciting! I hope he gets the financing and the support he needs.
Here are some screenshots/links to the stories about this, and a Facebook page called I-square about the project.
