DEAR READERS:
ONE PIECE OF SANITY IN YORKTOWN
COUNCILMAN NICK BIANCO IS PROPOSING TO HAVE THE YORKTOWN TOWN BOARD VOTE TO LIMIT THE TOWN OF YORKTOWN'S USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN. HE HAS PROPOSED THAT THE TOWN NOT BE ABLE TO USE EMINENT DOMAIN TO TAKE ONE'S PRIVATE PROPERTY TO GIVE TO A PRIVATE DEVELOPER (FOR PRIVATE GAIN, AND INCREASED TAX BASE), GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE "TAKINGS CLAUSE" IN THAT EMINENT DOMAIN ONLY BE AN OPTION ONLY FOR "PUBLIC USE" NOT "PUBLIC GOOD" AS IS NOW DEFINED. USING THE OPTION OUTLINED IN THE MAJORITY OPINION WRITTEN BY JUSTICE STEVENS, LEAVING TO LOCAL OFFICIALS THE RIGHT TO LIMIT THE USE OF EMINET DOMAIN, COUNCILMAN BIANCO IS ATTEMPTING TO BRING SOME SANITY BACK INTO THE "TAKINGS CLAUSE".

ONE PIECE OF INSANITY IN YORKTOWN
BELIEVING THAT BECAUSE THE TOWN OF YORKTOWN HAS A TEN FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY ON ALL PRIVATE PROPERTY, THE YORKTOWN POLICE HAVE BEEN REMOVING ALL LAWN SIGNS ON THAT TEN FOOT PIECE OF PROPERTY. EVEN THOUGH THE PROPERTY OWNER PAYS TAXES ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY, THE TOWN CONSIDERS THEIR RIGHT-OF-WAY DEFACTO OWNERSHIP. AS THE TOWN HAS IN MANY WAYS ONLY CONSDIDERED THE PROPERTY OWNER A TENANT IN THE PAST,(SEE APRIL 2006 ENTRY "WE'ER OFF TO SEE THE WIZZARD...) THIS IS NOT SUPRISING. NOT BY COINCIDENCE HAS THIS STEPPED UP ENFORCEMENT COMING AT ELECTION SEASON. AS THE TOWN CANNOT JUST TAKE ONLY POLITICAL ADVOCACY SIGNS (FREE SPEECH), THEY TAKE ALL SIGNS(TAG SALES...BAKE SALES ETC.). THOUGH THE OFFICIAL LINE IS THAT " THE PEOPLE" FIND THEESE SIGNS ANNOYING AND THEY ARE ONLY SWIFTLY RESPONDING TO THE WILL OF "THE PEOPLE" (A FIRST), I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A LOCAL RESPONSE TO INCUMBANCY PROTECTION(NATIONALLY IT WAS DONE WITH THE ENACTMENT OF THE MCCAIN-FIENGOLD ACT LIMITNG POLITICAL SPEECH DURING THE ELECTION CYCLE). FOR THE OCCASIONAL POLITICAL OBSERVER(THOSE THAT DO VOTE, BUT ONLY PAY ATTENTION TO HEADLINES) IF THEY DO NOT SEE THE NAME OF CHALLENGERS (VIA LAWN SIGNS), MOST LIKELY WHEN THEY GO INTO THE VOTING BOOTH, THEY WILL PULL THE LEVER FOR THE MOST RECONIZABLE NAME, THERE-BYE HELPING THE INCUMBENT STAY IN POWER. TO ME THIS IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF CENSORSHIP DISGUISED AS A QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE.

COUNTY NANNIES TO ATTACK YOUR DUNKIN' DOUGHNUTS
.........AND YOUR FRENCH FRIES AND YOUR FRIED CHICKEN AND WHAT EVER ELSE
YOU CHOOSE TO EAT. WESTCHESTER COUNTY LEGISLATOR GORDON BURROWS OF YONKERS HAS PROPOSED LEGISLATION BARRING TRANS- FAT FROM BEING USED AT PUBLIC FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS OWNED BY PRIVATE ENTROPENOURS. THIS IS OF COURSE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. YOU SEE, YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU TO EAT, SO THE COUNTY IS GOING TO DO THIS FOR YOU. IN THE NAME OF HIGHER PROFITS THOSE EEEEEVIL BUSINESS PERSONS ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU, AND BY GOD LEGISALTOR BURROWS IS GOING TO PUT A STOP TO IT!!!!!!!!
HOW NICE!!!!!!!! IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE HOW OUR COUNTY LEGISLATORS' MIKE KALPOWITZ(YES HE IS STILL A COUNTY LEGISLATOR) AND GEORGE OROS STAND ON THIS. ESPECIALLY SINCE LEGISLATOR KALPOWITZ IS TRYING TO UNSEAT INCUMBENT STATE SENATOR VINCENT LIEBELL(TWO "L'S") IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW IF HE BELIEVES THIS INTRUSION INTO PRIVATE CHOICE SHOULD BE ENACTED STATE WIDE. I HAVE TO ASK YOU, THE READERS, HOW LONG YOU ARE GOING TO SIT BACK AND ALLOW OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO TELL US HOW TO LIVE???? IT IS NOT UP TO THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP US FROM GOING TO HELL WITH OURSELVES SHOULD WE SO CHOOSE. I KNOW THAT IN N.Y.S. NO HOSPITAL CAN REFUSE TREATMENT IN AN EMERGENCY REGARDLESS OF YOUR ABILITY TO PAY. HOWEVER, I DO NOT BELIEVE ANYBODY THOUGHT WHEN THIS WAS ENACTED THAT THIS WAS GOING TO ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT AN OPENING TO DICTATE WHAT WE EAT. TALK ABOUT BIG BROTHER!!!! THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT SPYING ON YOUR E-MAILS SEEM TO HAVE NO TROUBLE SPYING ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK-UP ON ANY OF THESE ISSUES E-MAIL ME AT: atomtaxi@aol.com SUBJECT MATTER EITHER"" LAWN SIGNS", "EMINENT DOMAIN" OR "TRANS-FAT" AND I WILL FOWARD YOUR THOUGHTS TO THE PROPERS OFFICIALS .

NEVER DRINK THE KOOL-ADE BEFORE YOU VOTE.....IT COULD HAMPER YOUR JUDGEMENT
DEAR READERS:
IN MY LAST LETTER TO THE NORTH COUNTY NEWS(THAT I SENT OUT TO YOU) WHERE I OUTLINE MY REASON'S FOR NOT VOTING FOR THE INCUMBENT STATE SENATOR VINCENT LEIBELL, CERTIAN READERS HAVE TAKEN THIS AS A REASON TO DO THE SAME IN THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION. FAR FROM IT! IN FACT THERE IS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO. IN OUR STATE LEGISLATOR THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE REPUBLICANS AND THE DEMOCRATS CAN FIT ON THE HEAD OF A PIN AND STILL HAVE ROOM FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. THE ONLY TRUE PARTIES THAT HAVE ANY CONVICTIONS LEFT THAT THEY WILL FIGHT FOR ARE THE CONSERVATIVES AND THE WORKING FAMILIES PARTY, AND EVEN THEY WILL SELL THERE SOULS(ON OCCASION) FOR BALLOT ACCESS. HOWEVER ON THE CONGRESSIONAL SIDE THE DIFFERENCE IS NIGHT AND DAY. FOR ALL THOSE WHO CAN'T WAIT TO SEND BUSH A MESSAGE AND VOTE FOR JOHN HALL IN HOPES OF A DEMOCRAT TAKEOVER OF CONGRESS, THINKING YOU WILL FINALLY HAVE CHANGE AND A CHANCE FOR BETTER HEALTH CARE AND MORE MONEY FOR EDUCATION, ALSO SAVE A TREE OR TWO, AND OF COURSE CLOSE INDIAN POINT, MY LAST LETTER TO THE JOURNAL NEWS(WHICH I ALSO SENT YOU)SHOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A HINT THAT THOSE THINGS WILL NOT HAPPEN. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THE PARALIZATION OF GOVERNMENT IN TIME OF WAR. THIS PARALIZATION WILL TAKE PLACE BECAUSE THE FIRST THING ON THE AGENDA OF THE DEMCATIC HOUSE LEADERSHIP (SHOULD THE DEMORATS TAKE OVER) IS "HOUSE RESOLUTION 635" INTRODUCED BY FUTURE HOUSE JUDIARY COMMITTE HEAD JOHN CONYERS CALLING FOR THE CREATION OF A SELECT COMMITTE TO INVESTIGATE THE ADMINISTRATIONS MANIPULATION OF PRE-WAR INTELEGENCE, THE ENCOURAGING OF TORTURE AND RETALIATING AGAINST CRITICS IN THE RUN UP TO WAR. THIS RESOLUTION HAS 38 DEMOCRATIC CO-SPONSORS NOW, AND IT IS TO MAKE RECOMENDATIONS REGARDING THE GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT BUSH AND VICE PRESIDENT CHANEY. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO REMEMBER THE CLINTON IMPEACHMENT, YOU WILL ALSO RECALL HOW GOVERNMENT GROUND TO A HALT WITH CHARGES FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE. YOU WILL ALSO RECALL THAT THIS PARALIZATION HELPED MOVE FOWARD THE WAR WE ARE IN, BY OUR INACTION. NOTHING WILL GET DONE IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS AS CONGRESS FIGHTS OVER THIS, EXCEPT UNLIKE THE LAST TIME, THIS TIME
WE ARE A NATION AT WAR! NOW IF YOU ARE OF THE BELIEF, LIKE FUTURE HOUSE LEADER (SHOULD THE DEMCRATS WIN) NANCY PELOSI THAT WE ARE NOT REALLLY AT WAR, THIS IS REALLY A POLICE MATTER, THE THIS SHOULD NOT BOTHER YOU A WHIT. HOWEVER IF YOU ARE OF THE BELIEF THAT WE ARE REALLY AT WAR, THEN THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU PAUSE TO THINK. WARS ARE NOT FOUGHT IN THE ABSTRACT, THEY ARE FOUGHT IN REAL TIME WITH REAL CONSEQUENCES SHOULD WE LOSE. YOUR VOTE IN THIS YEARS CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION WILL DICTATE THE FUTURE COURSE WE WILL FOLLOW.

POLITICS IN PUTNAM VALLEY HAS TURNED BITTER, AS THE CONTINUING SAGA OF PUTNAM COUNTY SUPERVISOR
SAM DAVIS' HIRING OF HIS LIVE-IN GIRL FRIEND WON'T GO AWAY AS IT SHOULD. THE PUTNAM VALLEY ETHICS COMMITTE HAS ALREADY FOUND THAT SAM DAVIS DID NOTHING ILEAGAL. THAT IS THE SALIENT POINT. SO NOW THE PUTNAM VALLEY COUNCIL WISHES TO MAKE WHAT HE DID NOT ONLY ILEAGAL BUT MAKE IT RETROACTIVE. THIS CRIMINALZATION OF ACTIONS THAT DISPLEASE IS ABSURD ON ITS FACE AND WOULD HAVE SERIOUS CONSQUENCES DOWN THE ROAD SHOULD THE POWER STRUCTURE CHANGE (WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER). THE ONLY PROPER PLACE TO CHANGE THAT WICH YOU WOULD FIND DISPLEASING IS IN THE NEXT ELECTION, NOT ENACTING A RETROACTIVE LAW. THE PUTNAM VALLEY COUNCIL SHOULD INSTEAD BE CONCENTRATING ON MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING THE TOWN. THIS IS PURE PETTY POLITICS AND THOSE INVOLVED IN THIS ON THE COUNCIL SHOULD BE RESOUNDLY RETIRED FROM OFFICE IN THE NEXT ELECTION FOR WASTING THE TAXPAYERS TIME AND MONEY.
