Site Capacity At Newport
Newport Site Capacity Worksheet
The Base Site area is 5.85 acres.
The EPOD Protection Land is 4.40 acres.
That leaves Newport with a net buildable site area of 1.45 acres. IF they had to follow the Site Capacity Worksheet that other subdivision parcels do.

Tax Exemptions For Plebeians Who Own A House?
The Democrats of our Monroe County Legislature are proposing to enact a local law to amend the County Code to enact a "Real Property Tax Exemption for Capital Improvements to Residential Properties."
Kinda like a PILOT deal for Plebeians. Sorta. Well, not really, but....it's a tax break for the "regular folk" who own residential units and improve them.

25 Years Ago
It was a dark and stormy night. A Master Plan was under way. This plan was developed in 1985, and someday.......someday they would use it.
That day finally came, almost 25 years later.

Only Plebeians Pay Taxes On Time
A while ago I had written a blog about this neat online tool that the County offers to pay/view your taxes. In the blog I looked up Medley Cen...er....I mean Lakeridge Centre, and I could view tax histories for town, county, and school district payments.
It looks like, on top of owing the Town of Irondequoit $500,000 (plus other payments that are due per the PILOT I don't know if he's paid them yet) - he is also late on paying his taxes that were due by February 10th, 2010 - and now he is accruing penalties/interest.
Check it out.

Q&A
Here are some questions that I have been asked in the past month.
Q: Is the ice skating rink going to be built?
A: No, not this year apparently. Camp Eastman land was not level enough to facilitate the ice rinks. I do not know if it's going to happen next year either.

Q: Was Marty Piecuch fired?

Like It Or Lump It
Like it:
This is what I want to see more people do more of. Your Town/Village/City is run on taxes. Your taxes. Most people just pay their tax bills every year and complain and just forget about it until the next tax bill comes. Most people never really question it, research it, or do anything about it.
Two sure things in life: Death and Taxes.
Certainties aside, you can extend your life by living healthy, scheduling routine doctor visits, taking medicine, having surgery etc., and doing all that you need to do to take care of yourself. You pay attention to your health, you maintain it, and you change things if you find that what you are doing isn't good for you (hopefully you do.) You wouldn't sit there with a broken leg and say "Eh....it happens....just gotta deal with it." You would try to "fix it".

Protest At Morelle's Office
I guess there was a protest at Morelle's Irondequoit office today about Mayoral Control of the City School District. Joe Morelle supports Mayor Duffy's quest to take over control of the City School District, and there are many people who don't agree with this proposal of Mayoral Control.
It seems the Rochester and Genesee Valley Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO are some of those people. They sent out an "Action Alert" for the protest today, along with a very nice picture of Joe and Bob.
Here are a couple of pictures from the protest, as the crowd chanted "Oh Joe, say it aint so. Joe HAS TO GO!"

ReMEHmber?
I haven't seen the Town Board meeting yet - but I can't wait to! I'll comment on it after I view it....but for now....
I just want to bring something to Stephanie's attention.
It's an article from 2005 when Mary Ellen was campaigning against Schantz, and the campaign questioned the Schantz administration's hiring practices, and why some Town employees do not reside in the community.

First Week Officially Over
I would imagine that "getting through" the first week is a tough one for the new Supervisor, but it seems to be going smoothly so far.
According to the twits (tweets?) at irondemocrats, "After 60 days transition, so far new administration at Town Hall has only appointed a new Bingo Inspector. 5:30 AM Jan 6th from web"
Really? That's it? Three whole days after they officially took office, they just appointed a Bingo Inspector?
