2012-"New" Amendment To Boating Law
Link to pdf. at Town website.
§91-4. Rules of Operation B does not specify that it is for Irondequoit Bay only - so I'm still unclear on that part.

Special Town Board Workshop Meeting...
...to discuss the PILOT for I-Square. (And, apparently, to discuss, amend, and vote on the Boats & Boating resolution...which was stated by the Supervisor at the May 15th regular TB meeting.)
Link to announcement.
Workshop meetings are open for the public to attend, but there is no public input...residents can't speak.
Workshops are not recorded either (video or audio), although meeting minutes are taken, and after approval by the board, are recorded and available to view here.

Corporate Welfare Defined
According to an article by Rachel Barnhart at 13Wham, Medley wants $250,000,000 in State Financing.
D&C Meaghan McDermott article on Congel and the sales tax financing.
That's on top of the lower assessment for the Mall, the P.I.L.O.T. tax breaks, and the Empire Zone Credits....all of which enable him to basically pay nothing for the properties as it is right now.
Now he wants the taxpayer to help build his dream, financing it through sales tax from the mall. If they do approve this, and the sales tax doesn't generate enough money to pay the bonds....the general fund of the NYS budget will have to pay for it.
That means you and me and Joe/Jane Schmoe from anywhere in NYS - their taxes will help finance this project.
