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 .
