DEAR READERS:
I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE READ THAT THE PRESENT SECESSION OF THE SUPREME
COURT HAS MADE A FEW RULINGS THAT HAVE IN EFFECT PUT YOUR PROPERTY
IN JEOPARDY OF STATE SEIZURE NO LONGER FOR "PUBLIC USE" AS OUR FOUNDERS
LIMITED IT TO, BUT NOW FOR"PUBLIC GOOD" WHICH IS OPEN ENDED, AND CEEDES
MORE POWER TO THE STATE THEN OUR FOUNDERS BELIEVED THE STATE
SHOULD HAVE. IF YOU READ THE PREVAILING STORIES ON THEESE RULING,
YOU WOULD BE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT ALL IS LOST, AND YOU HAVE
NO POWER TO SAVE YOUR PROPERTY FROM THE WHIMS OF THE STATE.
..........NOT TRUE.....NOT TRUE...NOT TRUE.......
AS ABHORENT AS THEESE RECENT RULINGS ARE TO A FREE PEOPLE, AND
AS MUCH AS THEESE RECENT RULING HAVE OUR FOUNDERS TURNING OVER
IN THEIR GRAVES, THESE RULINGS ALSO HAVE THE EFFECT OF GIVING THE
STATES BACK THEIR RIGHT OF SELF- DETERMINATION. THIS STATE RIGHT
PUTS BACK INTO YOUR HANDS THE THE POWER YOU HAD LOST TO THE
JUDICIARY. IN OTHER WORDS YOU, BY YOUR VOTE, CAN NOW FORCE
YOUR STATE AND LOCAL LEGISLATORS TO TIGHTEN THE RULES OF EMINENT DOMAIN
OF YOUR STATE AND LOCALITY. YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN BACK YOUR POWER OF REDRESS
AT THE VOTING BOOTH. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THE STATE OR LOCAL GOVT. IS
EXERCISING IT'S POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN, BY LIMITING THE POWER
OF THE FEDERAL GOVT. TO INTERFERE IN STATE BUSINESS, THE COURTS
HAVE NOW LIMITED HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE NECESSARY TO EFFECT CHANGE.
ON A STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL, YOU NEED FAR LESS PEOPLE TO GET GOVT.
ATTENTION ON A STATE OR LOCAL LEVEL THEN YOU WOULD NEED ON A FEDERAL LEVEL. ALSO BY GIVING
BACK TO THE LEGILATOR THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN, IT TAKES POWER
AWAY FROM JUDGES IN WHICH THEIR WOULD BE NO REDRESS SHOULD YOU
FEEL ABUSED BY EMINENT DOMAIN.
SO PEOPLE, LETS TKAE THIS LEMON OF RULINGS AND MAKE
LEMONADE. PREASURE YOU LOCAL AND STATE REPRENTATIVES AND
DEMAND THAT THEY TIGHTEN THE RULES OF EMINENT DOMAINE OR THEY
WILL RISK YOUR WRATH AT THE VOTING BOOTH IN NOVEMBER. IT IS
WELL TO REMEMBER IT IS YOUR PROPERTY THAT IS IN JEOPARDY IF ON THIS
ISSUE YOU REMAIN SILENT.

REFLECTIONS AT FIFTY
DEAR READERS:
ON SATURDAY JUNE 18 I TURNED 50. I THINK AS A LIFE LONG RESIDENT
OF YORKTOWN, A LITTLE PERPECTIVE IS IN ORDER. WHEN I GREW UP, YORKTOWN
AND CORTLANT WERE BUGALOW COMMUNITIES. YOU WANTED TO BANK, YOU WENT
TO PEEKSKILL. YOU WANTED TO SHOP FOR FOOD OR CLOTHING OR EVEN SHOES,
YOU WENT TO PEEKSKILL. PEEKSKILL WAS THE CITY. ROUGHLY 60 PERCENT OF
YORKTOWN AND CORTLANT DISSAPEARED FOR THE WINTER, AS MOST HOMES
WERE ONLY SUMMER HOMES. THE POLICE KNEW WHO YOU WERE AND THERE
WAS A PERSONAL RELATIOSHIP BETWEEN THE LAW AND THE PEOPLE. YOU
COULD FIND YOUR LOCAL GOVT. OFFICIAL WHENEVER YOU WANTED, AS THEY
WERE MOSTLY LOCAL BUSINESS PEOPLE. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR
A MEETING. MOST IMPORTANT, YOUR LOCAL GOVT. PRETTY MUCH STAYED
OUT OF YOUR WAY WHEN IT CAME TO YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY OR PRIVATE
BUSINESS. THEY DID NOT PRETEND TO KNOW BETTER THEN YOU, HOW YOU
SHOULD LIVE YOUR LIFE, RAISE YOUR CHILDREN, RUN YOUR BUSINESS.
THEY DID NOT PUNISH SUCCESS, NOR DID THEY LIVE TO SEPERATE YOU
FROM YOUR MONEY. SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, THIS HAS CHANGED.
AS PEOPLE FROM THE N.Y.C. MOVED UP TO THE AREA, THEY BROUGHT WITH
THEM THE CITY MENTALITY OF GOVT. KNOWS BEST. AS LONG TIME RESIDENTS
HAVE EITHER MOVED AWAY OR DIED, AND WITH THEM RESISTANCE TO THIS
NANNY MENTALITY, LOCAL GOVT. HAS BECOME MORE INTRUSIVE, AND
DISREPECTIVE OF THE RIGHTS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY AND PRIVATE BUSINESS.
NOW LOCAL GOVT. BELIEVES THAT BECAUSE THEY COLLECT TAXES ON SAID
PROPERTIES AND BUSINESS, THEY ARE ALSO PARTNERS. THAT THEY WITHOUT
PUTTING UP A DIME OR TIME OF INVESTMENT, HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL
THE OWNERS OF THAT PROPERTY OR BUSINESS, WHAT TO DO FIRST. THAT
SAID OWNERS IF THEY WISH TO DO ANYTHNG, MUST COME BEFORE THEM,
THE GOVT. AND ASK EITHER PERMISSION OF GET A PERMIT, NO MATTER HOW
MENIAL THAT, WHICH THE OWNER MIGHT WNAT TO DO MIGHT BE. THE
OWNER MUST GENUFLECT BEFORE GOVT. OFFIALS OR WORSE, UNELECTED
BEAUROCRATS, BEG AND PLEAD FOR WHATEVER THEY WISH, THEN AFTER
THEY GOVT. HAS REQUIRED THEM TO GRAB THEIR ANKLES, THANK THEM
FOR ALOWWING THEM TO LIVE.
NOW IF THE GOVT. DOES NOT LIKE WHAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO WITH
YOUR LIFE OR PROPERTY OR BUSINESS, THEY WILL PASS A LAW, OR TAX YOU
INTO THAT WHICH THE GOVT. THINKS IS BEST. THE GOVT. DOES NOT LIKE
YOU TALKING ON THE PHONE WHEN YOU DRIVE...PASS A LAW. THE GOVT.
DOES NOT LIKE THE ADDS BEFORE A MOVIE...PASS A LAW(THIS IS NOW
BEFORE THE N.Y.C. COUNCIL AS WE SPEAK). THE GOVT. DOES NOT LIKE
SMOKING IN BARS...PASS A LAW.....THE GOVT. DOES NOT LIKE SMOKING
IN YOUR HOME...PASS A LAW(THIS IS BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY AS WE SPEAK....
RIGHT KNOW THEY ARE LIMITING IT TO COLLEGE DORMS AND PUBLIC
HOUSING, BUT IT WILL NOT STOP THERE). TO STOP DRINKING AND
DRIVING BY A FEW...PASS A LAW TO MAKE ALL CARS COME WITH A DEVICE
THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE TO BREATH INTO BERFOE DRIVING( THIS IS ALSO
BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY). LAWS MANDATING CHILD SEAT FOR UP TO
SEVEN YEARS OLD, LAWS THAT YOU MUST WHERE HELMETS WHEN YOU
RIDE A BIKE, NO MATTER HOW OLD, SEATBELT LAWS FOR ADULTS IN
THE BACK SEAT OF CARS...ON AND ON AND ON. SCREW YOUR RIGHTS, SCREW
YOUR PRIVACY, THE GOVT. KNOWS BEST.
THIS ONLY CHANGES WHEN TOUGH DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE.
SEVEN YEARS OF A TRAFFIC STUDY, ALL TO AVIOD DOING SOMETHING,
BUT IT ALLOWS THE GOVT. TO CONTINUE TO TRAMPLE ON THE RIGHTS
OF PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS BY CONTINUING THIS TEMPORARY BUILDING
MORITORIUM(WHICH WILL BE CELEBRATING IT'S FOUTH YEAR OF TEMPOARY)
AFTER ALL, THERE IS AN ELECTION COMMING UP AND WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE
ANY DECISSIONS TILL AFTER NOVEMBER. YOU WANT SEWARS, YOU'VE WAITED
SEVEN YEARS, WELL YOU HAVE TO WAIT LONGER TILL WE CAN FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO DUMP IT ON PEEKSKILL, INSTEAD OF UPGRADING OUR OWN
TREATMENT PLANT.
YES, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN LOCAL GOVT. DID NOT THINK THEY WERE
YOUR MOMMY OR DADDY OR GOD. THEY PRETTY MUCH LEFT YOU ALONE,
THINKING YOU COULD WALK AND TALK AND BREATH WITHOUT OUT THEIR
INTERFEARENCE. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN LOCAL GOVT. DID NOT KICK
THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND MADE TOUGH DECISIONS WITHOUT HIDING
BEHIND ENDLESS TAX WASTING STUDIES. THESE TOWNS WOULD NOT HAVE
GROWN TO BE WHAT THEY ARE WITHOUT THE LEADERS WE HAD IN THE PAST
WHO BELIEVED IT WAS THE GOV'TS DUTY TO INVOLVE ITSELF ONLY WITH
THE IMPROVEMENT AND GROWTH OF THE TOWNS...AND STAY OUT OF THE
PRIVATE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE.
I AM NOW 50 YEARS OLD, AND I MISS THOSE LEADERS, AND TO TELL THE
TRUTH, I SURVIVED QUITE WELL WITHOUT THE NANNIES.
