"All Day I Hear The Noise Of Waters"
All day I hear the noise of waters
Making moan,
Sad as the sea-bird is when, going
Forth alone,
He hears the winds cry to the water's
Monotone.
The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing
Where I go.
I hear the noise of many waters
Far below.
All day, all night, I hear them flowing
To and fro.
~James Joyce
Meaghan McDermott of the D&C had an excellent article early this morning about the SBWD paying back, with interest, what the Town has loaned them so far. They think they can do this in two or three installment payments within the next two years. They are also going to hire a "forensic auditor" to figure out how the finances got so bad.
From the article: "The town collects payments from the district's customers and writes the checks for the district's own bills." and "The district pays the town $20,500 per year for the accounting services, said district superintendent Lindsay Putnam."
Also, "water district commissioners say they were blindsided to learn in
August that the district didn't have enough money to repay the December
loan, and that the district needed even more money to pay its September
bills."

Ads & Letters In I-Post
Here are some items that were in the Irondequoit Post pertaining to the upcoming elections. The letters section had a very good letter from Ginny Maier.
Here's the text of Ginny's excellent letter:
Were developer’s interests put before town’s I was a resident of Irondequoit when the latest Medley Center agreement was signed. Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone were on the Town Board at that time. They signed off on a change to the town zoning law written just for this developer, which gave him the right to make changes to the project without any further public review, a privilege that no other property owner has. They agreed to a property tax break that Aldersley herself (at a Town Board meeting on March 2009) estimated as worth $40 million. When the 84-page text of the PILOT was released to the public, we were given less than three business days to review the agreement before the Town Board voted on it.
Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone refused repeated requests from residents for more time to understand the size, the length and the details of the tax benefit provided before their vote.
John Perticone never responded to repeated emails from residents expressing concerns about the agreement. But at a Town Board meeting in February 2009, he made a point of thanking the developer, saying “it’s been a nice process.”
Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone have remained on the Town Board while the developer of Medley has repeatedly ignored or missed deadlines that were built into the agreement to, supposedly, protect the town and its taxpayers. They have done nothing to require that the developer be held accountable to the agreement they signed.
Stephanie Aldersley and John Perticone have repeatedly failed to act in the best interest of the people they represent in the most consequential matter to come before the Town Board in their terms of office.
Do you think they should continue to represent you?

Sea Breeze Water District Audit
From January 2007 - January 2010. I thought it would be good to put this audit from last year up. Especially since the meeting last night - and because I noticed someone searched "comptroller sea breeze water district". I didn't see the Special Town Board Meeting last night - but I heard that the S.B.W.D. can't make payroll, and things don't look too good.
