Dear Readers:
Here is a look at the local Peekskill races:
Mayor:
Candidates: Mary Foster (D-WF)--Tony Washington (R-C)
Peekskill being home to more than it's share of low income residents makes this not a simple campaign. It is not like its neighbors where lower taxes is primary concern. They do have an obligation to their neediest, which both parties agree must be met. How and how much lies the difference. Their Police Department handles a wider variety of crimes that it's neighbors. Public safety is their highest priority, as the poor are most preyed upon by the nefarious. To do all this and not scare away the tax paying base is what this election is about. It is not about racism, though some would like to make it that.
First thing I noticed is that so far at least twice Mayor Foster has joined with State Senator Greg Ball at the Senators events. It was only last November that as far as the Peekskill Democrats were concerned he was the devil incarnate. I can understand Greg's motives, he is after all State Senator of entire district 4 which includes Peekskill, I is Mary's that perplex me. Does she alienate her voters by being seen with the Senator? After all they were told how wrong he is for the job.
Second thing I noticed, is the Senator Ball has not endorsed the GOP team like he did with the Yorktown GOP team. Is it an oversight? Is he playing the odds?
Third thing is there are no debates. Neither team has gone to the mat to make them happen. No debates only help incumbents.
Prediction:
All election with an incumbent running becomes a referendum on their leadership. The question is has Mary ticked off enough people to lose? The other question is Tony a reasonable alternative? Answer those question and you have your winner.
My Pick: Washington
Council:
Candidates: Don Bennett (D-WF)--Steve Woods (R-C)--Darren Rigger (D-WF)---Barbara Kerasiotes (R-C)---Kathleen E. Talbot (D-WF)--Joe Brady (R-C)
Rigger was Democrat Chairman when Democrats swept all Republican out of office. Bennett has been in office 8 years, is that too long? I think not, but 12 years, maybe? Brady was past Councilman in the nineties. Has he kept up with the changes in the political and economic landscape is the question he must address.
Democrats have has one party rule for four years. Have the residents grown dissatisfied with that non-balance? Not having checks and balance is never a good thing.
Prediction:
Democrats will not lose majority. That was easy to predict. However, voters will split ticket and elect one Democrat and one Republican just to keep things interesting.
My Picks: Rigger(extensive resume, from Presidential to local, plus working for most powerful N.Y.Congressman an asset that would help Peekskill)---Woods---Kerasiotes (needed to make sure opposition side heard).
This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

Yorktown 2011 Race With Endorsements
Dear Readers:
Here is a look at the Yorktown Town Board races:
Supervisor Candidates:
Don Peters (D-I-WF)----Michael Grace (R)---Susan Siegel (C-Yorktown Better Government)
As New York is one of four states that allow the addition of votes on all lines, Peters with three has an advantage. Peter's biggest negative is perception that his laid back approach meant he was not in charge. Two years ago he let Siegal define him and perception stuck Grace has made same mistake by allowing Siegel to define him as a part time Supervisor should he win. Nobody knows Yorktown better than Peters. Nobody knows government better than Siegel. Nobody knows the law and regulations better than Grace.
Running Yorktown like a fiefdom hurts Siegel.
Prediction:
This race in real terms boils down to Grace and Peters. Grace would win in a landslide if New York did not allow counting votes on all lines, but it does. Peters would win if Siegel was not on the ballot, but she is. Siegel is the spoiler. Who ever votes Siegel pulls from the least win this race.
My Pick: Peters will by attrition.
Council Candidates:
Dave Paganelli (R-C-I) ---Nick Bianco (R-C-I) ----Rich Campanero (D-WF)--James Martoano (D-WF)
Martorano and Bianco suffer from long-term-incumbent-itis. Mortorano 20 years. Bianco 16 years. How much "throw the bums out" mentality plays in this race will be a factor remains to be seen, but it is a factor they can do nothing about. Paganelli and Campanaro have difficult task of un-seating incumbents. Can they make the case that change will be better for Yorktown is question they must adress.
Bianco and Martorano have run adds taking credit for everything good in Yorktown. However, life is two dimensional. The must also take responsibility for Rt. 6 and Rt. 202 corridors and an increasingly empty Jefferson Valley Mall. They must take responsibility for perception that Yorktown is not business friendly. Can not blame everything on economy, as vacant store fronts were going on before economy tanked.
Capanero is this years Paganelli from two year ago, running for name recognition, though association with YAC helps a lot. Also Camanero is a one note candidate advocating more playing fields and open space. This is not this years primary focus for voters. Paganelli came very close last time out. Lead primary pack with most votes even more that Supervisor candidates. He is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. His candidacy threatens the re-election of either Martorano or Bianco . His presence on the Board would change entire demeanor of Town Government's interaction with residents. Will not tolerate rudeness or fools.
Prediction:
Voters will split ticket voting in one incumbent and one newbie, while voting out one incumbent and one newbie. It will be interesting to see which incumbent voters want back.
My Pick: Paganelli time has come, will be biggest vote getter. Bianco is incumbent chosen to stay an consituant service saves his day.
This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

Looking At Wsechester District 1 & 4 Races
Dear Readers:
Here is a quick snap shot of some upcoming local races as we head into November 8.
Westchester Legislative District 4:
Candidates:Mike Kaplowitz (D-WP)---Terrence Murphy (R-C-I)
Kaplowitz is the sitting incumbent. Murphy is at present a Yorktown Councilman. This by the numbers will be Kaplowitz's most difficult races. Murphy has 3 lines, Kaplowitz 2. Obstacles for Kaplowitz are 1) long term incumbent. "throw the bums out" mentality" is in play. Not much he can do about that. 2) State of county government and taxes. He has to separate himself from Democrat majority, yet at the same time take credit for being part of the negative tax increase from this years budget. 3) Affordable housing settlement. Leaves a bad taste in most voters mouth.
Murphy's problem is that it is very difficult to un-seat an incumbent, minus a scandal. Mike is so beige that the scandal option is out. Also when it comes to budget numbers, Mike is the smartest person in the room. Smarter than the other legislators. Murphy has to make the case that change in representation is in District 4's best interest. Mike has made his case, Murphy has not closed the deal yet. Prediction: Winner squeaks by with barely over 50% of the vote.
MY PICK: Even though Murphy has R-C-I, Kaplowitz barely pulls it out in a recount
Westchester Legislative District 1:
Candidates: Mike Kane (D-WP)---John Testa (R-C-I)
Testa is the sitting incumbent and County Executive is Republican, those plusses help John. Kane has same problem as Murphy, un-seating a sitting incumbent. Testa's problem is that as of now he is in the super minority. Democrats on Board of Legislators do not need Republicans for veto over-rides. That may change after November's elections. Very good chance for Republicans to pick up one or two seats. If that happens, it makes John a player should he win re-election.
If Kane should win, he will still be part of majority, as Democrats will not lose that, no matter what happens in other races.
Kane on the other hand has to articulate why he can serve District 1 better than present representation. His palm card highlights issues I find hard to equate to County Government. It does however highlight Mike's idealism, which in and of itself is not a bad thing. Character and principal's do matter. Prediction: No competitive race in Cortlandt hurts Testa, helps Mike as only Democrats on most of ballot. John needs a better showing in Peekskill than last race because of Cortlandt. Who ever wins Yorktown wins race.
Kane while being a good candidate, has an uphill climb.
MY PICK: Testa, having R-C-I is the difference
Next week I look at Peekskill and Yorktown. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

MY PICK: Testa, having R-C-I is the difference
Next week I look at Peekskill and Yorktown. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

Citizen vs. Citizen Must End
Dear Readers:
DIVIDE AND CONQUER, is a great war battle plan that has been adopted to politics. IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH, and there-by the protections of our freedoms and liberties. That is why politicians wishing to take them away have utilized the opening battle plan. DIVIDE AND CONQUER, you see in the class warfare utilized by politicians regarding taxes as a way to redistribute wealth and punish success. They(put your boogey man here) have too much, more than they need the greedy so and so's, let us tax and/or take that excess and after we the government get our take as the middleman, give you the crumbs. You are too stupid to achieve success yourself, you are the perpetual victims of the (put your boogey man here), and so we will take care of you, and you will keep us in office as way of thanks in perpetuity. Never mind that it has never been proven that the punishment of success has made the less successful, successful. It did however grow government and increase its power over you.
Private property owned by private citizens and your rights be damned!!!!. We the government will use environmental and zoning codes to usurp your rights of ownership. Oh, by the way, we are coming into your home, and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. Toilets, shower heads light bulbs, we use the myth of man-made global warming and the dunces that still believe in it to divided and so weaken your defense of your ownership. Guess what? We the government have succeeded,
DIVIDE AND CONQUER, pits the smokers against the non-smokers, the successful vs.the envious of that success, auto users vs. flat earthers', property owners vs. renters and doing so, we can trample all the rights we want. The problem with these laws against private business, private property, and private citizens regarding a legal product presumes our rights come from government and therefore can be taken away. The problem lies within the premise of our Constitution and the founding document of our country the Declaration of Independence. That premise being that our rights come from a higher power and CANNOT be taken away, even for our own good. Right now the ruling class want you to believe our rights come from the government. THEY DO NOT!! The power of the government comes from the consent of the governed. This is what makes our government different.
You think I am being extreme, well you should remember, the Supreme Court, presided over by nine popes ruled that carbon-dioxide is a greenhouse gas to be regulated by the government. Carbon-dioxide, that which you exhale with every breath you take, is to be viewed as a pollutant. That is the door that has been opened, and your freedom of movement is in serious danger. Do you really think the high cost of energy is by accident?
This year is a local election year it is your local governments that are trampling rights. To protect your rights you MUST protect every bodies' rights. You must not, allow government to DIVIDE AND CONQUER. You must this November speak up and say I DO NOT CONSENT. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

How Creeping Tyranny Starts
Dear Readers:
"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that." This quote was made last week by Democrat Beverly Perdue, the governor of North Carolina at a rotary club event in Cary, NC.
Recently I wrote a column where former House Speaker Democrat Nancy Pelosi said Republicans and Democrats should come together so that it would not matter who won elections. Last week I wrote about lawmakers and a web site that wish you to tattle on your fellow citizens for doing perfectly legal actions.
I told you this is where tyranny starts. It started with "political correctness", which is an end run around free speech. Like hate crime designation legislation, it criminalizes thought and word, equating them with actual deed. Then you have the politics of envy. Class warfare, where you are to hate those who do better than you as if the only way that could happen is by someway or some how nefarious deeds. No personal responsibility on your part. No action by choice or omission by you can possibly be the reason. You are a perpetual victim.
History does not start when you wake up in the morning. Nor did it start when you were born. History is. The lessons of history are there only if you look. The reason why history is not put on the level with math and English is so it will be easier to re-write it. Still if you look hard enough, the true lessons of history can not be erased.
That lesson which we are living now is how creeping tyranny starts. I can only happen if you allow the ruling class to convince you that certain citizens, thoughts, achievements are enemies of the people. The ruling class codifies itself by making you feel ,less and less an individual. "American Exceptionalism" is the celebration of the achievement of individual accomplishment. Thinking outside the box. Building the better mouse trap. Being all you can be. Overcoming and conquering life's road blocks. This is the American Dream and the political class wishes in the name of control, to wipe that out.
You can stop this by turning out of office those who wish to advance this creeping tyranny. That an elected Governor can actually want people to agree to postpone constitutionally mandated elections is part of that advance. Your liberties are at stake. You have a political class at war with you way of life. Only you can stop it. If you leave the battle to others, it will only lead to defeat. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

ARE YOU AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
Dear Readers:
The State, Counties, various cities and towns pass laws they know are unenforceable. They send out their press releases from the highest mountain top proclaiming their latest feel good law saying thank me very much and remember to vote for me. Oh, by the way, all that is needed to get these miscreants is for you to tattle on them. That's right, you are to be the governments unpaid army of snitches.
You know the laws I am talking about. No Smoking in public parks and beaches. No idling your car for more than 3 minutes, just to name a couple. They even acknowledge these as unenforceable with out you tattleing. "See something, say something". The government wants you to equate smoking and idling your car in the cold with possible acts of terrorism, child abuse or rape. There is no equivalency, moral or otherwise between them. No, they want you to be that playground geek who can be heard yelling, "I'm telling......".
Now we have a new gossip web-site, "AttackWatch.com", running with the blessings of the White House. This operation asks citizens to hand over to them the names of those attacking the White House and saying negative things about the President. They want you to read columns like mine that oppose this Presidents programs and say "I am telling..."
These laws and web-sites are how tyrannies operate. They try to ,turn citizen against citizen. They wish to criminalize people using perfectly legal actions, smoking, sitting in ones car, criticizing government. It is the next step in codifying a ruling class, running in conjunction with their class warfare rhetoric. All it takes is for decent citizens to become tattle tales. All it takes is for you to hate and wallow in envy.
I think it is time for you to take a good long and hard look at these lawmakers and government officials who advocate and pass laws that require you to turn on your fellow citizen. Remember, life is two dimensional. Once you rat on your neighbor, they will have licence to rat on you. All it will take is for lawmakers to criminalize a legal action you partake in. It is in the realm of possible, as it is happening now.
Do not become part of the "I am telling" crowd. Nobody liked a tattle tell in school, and nobody likes them now. Vote out those who wish to make you one. Stop the ruling class from becoming a permanent fixture in your life. Stop them from making decent citizens enemies of the people. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

More Lies From President Obama
President Obama is a liar. The ruling class in Washington, Democrats and Republicans alike who say we can not lower the deficit with out revenue enhancements, which means tax increases are liars. All they wish to do is legally through the tax code, steal from you and redistribute your money to their favorites. Any one in Washington who tells you about billions, trillions, quadrillions, whatever, in spending reductions that will occur after this present congresses term expires is a bold face liar.
No reduction after this term will ever happen. Never has, never will. However the tax increases are immediate, as always. When you hear the term "millionaires and billionaires" read that as people making $200,000.00 plus and above. That's where the money is. You can close the loopholes on oil and corporate CEO's and that is about 60 billion dollars. The real loopholes that are on the cutting board are home mortgage and charitable deductions. That is about 400 plus billion dollars. As I said, that is where the money is.
Even if you take all the monies of people making over one million dollars a year, and you can only do that once, after that there is nothing left, it will run the government less than two months. This proposal as the President has laid out is class warfare and redistribution. It is you they are after. To run for election, the President and the ruling class will need the monies from the actual rich. Make no mistake, they will be protected. Their wealth will be secured.
When you are told that Warren Buffett pays less income taxes than his secretary, that is a lie. On his income he pays the highest rate. It is his capital gains, the profits he makes on his investments that is taxed at 15%. Those monies he invests have already been taxed at the highest rate. Buffett is a liar. In fact he has not paid his fair share on income taxes since 2002. The IRS says he owes billions since that time. Buffett has taken the government to court because he, like anyone else wants to pays less on his income. Not only is Buffett a liar, he is a phoney also.
No, the answer is reduction in spending. it is the only answer. However the President and the ruling class in Washington will not do that. They all want your money so they can spend it. Both parties are equally guilty is trying to con you out of your money. Spending is the problem. Getting it under control is the answer. Anyone who tells you it is lack of revenue is a damn liar. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR BACK YARD
Dear Readers:
YORKTOWN:
I have received an e-mail sent September 8 from the usual gang, the "I hate Eric DiBartolo Club" . This is the day after last weeks heavy rain fall. It criticizes Eric for working his private job instead of personally chopping down trees on the roads and bucket by bucket removing water flooding the road ways. Problem is while there were downed trees and flooded roads, they were not town roads affected but state roads.
I had been in contact that morning with Eric, this is before I knew any e-mail existed, and he told me the state of the Yorktown roadways as their condition affects my ability to do my job. So I knew he was on top of any situation that would need his attention. This was also after Eric spent 87 straight hours handling the aftermath of hurricane Irene. Let's see anyone criticize his departments handling of that crisis.
Memo to the "I hate Eric DiBartolo Club": I get it. You do not like Eric. You wish he was not the Highway Superintendent. You think you could do better. You will not vote for him if he runs again. However, you had your shot with the State Comptroller's Audit Report. Eric is not a crook. He did nothing criminal worthy of resignation. The town was complacent. Corrective measures have and will continue to be implemented. Give it a rest already, you only make yourself look ridiculous.
PEEKSKILL:
There is a game of political football being played concerning a gentleman named Pat Conlon's desire to open a new business that happens to be a tattoo parlor.
Update link here: http://ncnlocal.com/ncnlocal_towns/peekskill/article_eede72e4-c1e1-11e0-a4a9-001cc4c002e0.html.
It is already a year and they still are only talking about changing the law. My sources are telling me that no one on either side of the isle want to deal with this before the election. My sources tell me that if the Democrats touch this the Republicans will ask "what's next a strip bar?" They are going to tell you the horror of a tattoo parlor in Peekskill. I don't know about any horror's as Yorktown has one in Mohegan and the bikers have yet to over run the town and make off with the women folk.
Respectable people ,have tattoos. You may have one. Are you going to let yourself be demonized for political purposes? Will Peekskill continue to play politics with a person's desire to open a legal heavily regulated business? It should not have to take a year to over turn a law. It should not take this long to open a business. No matter where you live, towns putting up unnecessary road blocks to business creation is a big reason on what this year's local elections are about. Remember this as you or your children or friends tall you how hard it is to find a job locally. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

YORKTOWN:
I have received an e-mail sent September 8 from the usual gang, the "I hate Eric DiBartolo Club" . This is the day after last weeks heavy rain fall. It criticizes Eric for working his private job instead of personally chopping down trees on the roads and bucket by bucket removing water flooding the road ways. Problem is while there were downed trees and flooded roads, they were not town roads affected but state roads.
I had been in contact that morning with Eric, this is before I knew any e-mail existed, and he told me the state of the Yorktown roadways as their condition affects my ability to do my job. So I knew he was on top of any situation that would need his attention. This was also after Eric spent 87 straight hours handling the aftermath of hurricane Irene. Let's see anyone criticize his departments handling of that crisis.
Memo to the "I hate Eric DiBartolo Club": I get it. You do not like Eric. You wish he was not the Highway Superintendent. You think you could do better. You will not vote for him if he runs again. However, you had your shot with the State Comptroller's Audit Report. Eric is not a crook. He did nothing criminal worthy of resignation. The town was complacent. Corrective measures have and will continue to be implemented. Give it a rest already, you only make yourself look ridiculous.
PEEKSKILL:
There is a game of political football being played concerning a gentleman named Pat Conlon's desire to open a new business that happens to be a tattoo parlor.
Update link here: http://ncnlocal.com/ncnlocal_towns/peekskill/article_eede72e4-c1e1-11e0-a4a9-001cc4c002e0.html.
It is already a year and they still are only talking about changing the law. My sources are telling me that no one on either side of the isle want to deal with this before the election. My sources tell me that if the Democrats touch this the Republicans will ask "what's next a strip bar?" They are going to tell you the horror of a tattoo parlor in Peekskill. I don't know about any horror's as Yorktown has one in Mohegan and the bikers have yet to over run the town and make off with the women folk.
Respectable people ,have tattoos. You may have one. Are you going to let yourself be demonized for political purposes? Will Peekskill continue to play politics with a person's desire to open a legal heavily regulated business? It should not have to take a year to over turn a law. It should not take this long to open a business. No matter where you live, towns putting up unnecessary road blocks to business creation is a big reason on what this year's local elections are about. Remember this as you or your children or friends tall you how hard it is to find a job locally. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

BALL WRONG ON FRACKING
Dear Readers:
I made a mistake. I thought State Senator Greg Ball was pro-jobs. I thought State Senator was for affordable energy. I thought State Senator Greg Ball for small business. Boy did I get that wrong. Greg Ball stands with the Working Families Party and political hacks like David Welprin in his stance against hydrofracking.
To “frack” a gas well, millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals, (yes, some are toxic), are pumped deep underground at high pressure. This fractures the rock that has trapped the natural gas and allows it to escape.
He says in a recent press release "“The gas industry stands at the precipice of earning billions of dollars from New York’s natural gas resources and has yet to sit down and answer tough questions about how they plan to protect our state." The first part is true. The gas industry does stand to make billions. He forgets to mention that so does New York State in fees and taxes. He also forgets to mention that the gas industry will generate 54,000 jobs, 24,795 drilling, mostly private sector union jobs, and 29,174 supporting jobs as small businesses open and hire employees to service these new drilling jobs. Deli's, corner markets, bars and restaurants to name a few. You are looking at a reported 2.5 billion dollars in annual wages. Greg Ball is against this.
The second part of the above quote is not true. The Department of Environmental Conservation, not a bastion of conservative bureaucrats, is initiating a 90 day public comment period. The norm is 60 days. Their reports states that whatever possible dangers there are can be mitigated with the new technics in hydrofracking. The report argues that tightly regulated drilling outside the water supply should move forward.
What Senator Ball want to do is talk about this for another six months. While people are worried about paying their bills and hoping against hope for a job, Greg Ball wants to talk. He has turned his back on the Republican Party and the Conservative Party. He now embraces the Working Families Party. For years I was his only defender in the media. I can not and will not defend him on this. He is wrong. If the people of Senate District 4 wanted a tree-hugging liberal, they would have elected Kaplowitz. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

FRACK YOU
Dear Readers:
I am sick and tired of politicians who run on a platform of job creation as if government can create a job that does not rely on tax dollars to exist. These same politicians are also the ones who stand in the way of actual private sector job creation in the name of fear. The worse culprits are Republicans who should know better, but once elected by running to the right, move to the left.
Former Governor George Pataki is a prime example. By the time he ran for his third term, there was not a spit of difference between him and his Democrat opponent. Assemblyman Robert J. Castelli (R, C – Goldens Bridge), and State Senator Greg Ball (R-District 4) are the latest. The issue is hydraulic fracturing, also known as “hydrofracking” or “fracking,” in New York State.
To "frack" a gas well, millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals, (yes, some are toxic), are pumped deep underground at high pressure. This fractures the rock that has trapped the natural gas and allows it to escape. Both these "pro-jobs" Republicans while saying they are open to the idea, are actually by their actions opposed. I believe this opposition is more politically motivated as their districts are more purple than red or blue.
As Republicans, they should be advocating this. Instead they play the fear card of what might happen. This is no different than the fear card played by our politicians in calling for the closure of Indian Point. While I agree that it would be unwise to use this procedure near our drinking water supplies, there is still enough places that do not affect our water that this can and should be done. However our phoney pro-job Republicans wish to delay this by advocating endless talk.
This comes down to a simple philosophy, "don't do something, just sit there and talk about it." This then looks to the ill-informed like action, as the media has educated us to believe talking equals action. The Southern Tier of New York desperately need these jobs. The State desperately needs the tax and fee monies this will generate. We desperately need the natural gas this will produce.
All activities attempted by man come with risks. As man is not perfect, that which they attempt can not be done risk free. The idea is to minimize the risks. This process has undergone many revisions to minimize that risk. Keeping it away from drinking water minimizes the risk. "Fracking, like nuclear power is safe that we are being led to believe. We need energy. We need jobs. Private sector jobs. "Fracking" achieves both. It is time both Castelli and Ball stop worrying about their future and start worrying about ours. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

All activities attempted by man come with risks. As man is not perfect, that which they attempt can not be done risk free. The idea is to minimize the risks. This process has undergone many revisions to minimize that risk. Keeping it away from drinking water minimizes the risk. "Fracking, like nuclear power is safe that we are being led to believe. We need energy. We need jobs. Private sector jobs. "Fracking" achieves both. It is time both Castelli and Ball stop worrying about their future and start worrying about ours. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

WHEN THE LEGEND IS FACT
Dear Readers:
It has been said the "when the legend becomes fact, print the legend." There is a corollary to this, "when the legend is fact, print the fact.". I have stated and so has "Bruce the Blog" that Yorktown is not business friendly. I have been told by a few elected officials that this is legend and not fact. When I point to the Winery at St. George as an example, I am told there were extenuating circumstances. As if that should have any baring!
Well, after a diner I had Saturday night (08/20/11), I can tell you it is a fact. There is another business, already established, that wishes to expand. Let me tell you that they have been put through the hoops, with only one town violation (out of five I know of) that has merit. The rest are either based on nuisance codes or non-existent codes.
When this business appeared before various boards they were given a list of 30 plus items to address. I was told most of the items were petty. When the task of completing the above items was done and they went again to these various boards, they were given another list of 30 plus items to complete. That is insane.
60 plus item and Yorktown officials tell me the Yorktown being business un-friendly is not true. Garbage!
There is no possible reason why any business must address that many items when that business is already in existence. Why should there be nuisance codes anyway. The answer is that past boards codified into law their personal preferences as if they were partners in those business. It is an example of hubris in the nth degree.
Another example of this hubris is when a code enforcer insists a business do or not do something, substituting their whim for written code. Or better yet, stretching an existing code to mean something not intended. This is a common practice in many municipalities as I have been told of these happenings in multiple places.
Developer Escrow Fees, no phone number on signs, color of signs, just to name a few things that should be removed. The use, misuse and abuse of Enviormental codes. Yet in spite of incumbents in multiple municipalities professing to be business friendly, they still exist on the books.
Until candidates either start to say what specifically they will remove, or why they have not yet removed nuisance codes, then all they are doing is pandering. It is not enough to make jumping through the hoops faster, it is removing hoops that really matters. Until then, this new found business friendly mantra is just a crock. This is my Opinion, you may beg to differ.

There will be no "perp-walk" today
Dear Readers:
There will be no "perp-walk" today. No trials and no running the Highway Superintendent out on a rail. Forget the tar and feathers while you are at it. The final N.Y.S. Comptroller's Audit of Yorktown has been released. You can read it at:
http://ncnlocal.com/ncnlocal_news/article_6ad899b0-c520-11e0-9d95-001cc4c03286.html
It was just as I wrote when the draft was released to the press:
http://ltpbazzo.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/in-my-opinionyorktown-not-run-by-crooks-unedited/
Yorktown is not run by crooks. The Highway Superintendent is not a crook. Yes, The Highway Superintendent did have pornography on his computer, but not the illegal, criminal kind. It was more likely the kind of dirty jokes my friends send me. The report suspects it was Eric DiBartolo's, but as anyone did have access to his computer, they could not say with absolute certainty.
The reports says Eric made suspicious purchases and conducted private and political business on his computer, however it did not come to the level of criminal and lays most of the blame on past Town Boards for lax controls and lack of rules. As I wrote, Eric in trying to get from point "A" to point "B" did what he thought best for the town, sometimes rules or lack of be damned. He did not do it to enrich himself, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
This audit and all the hoopla surrounding it comes down to as I wrote complacency, sloppy bookkeeping and a mentality of "this is the way we have done things in the past". This present board has set and proposed new rules to prevent this from reoccurring. Hooray for them.
However these proposals and new rues were set forth before the report and draft was released. Meaning the tax dollars and time spent on this was more or less a waste. This time and money was spent in my opinion, on a vendetta with the hopes of a "per-walk". Maybe if this present board survives this election they will not let personal animosity rule the day. Make no mistake this was driven by personal animosity.
Yes, Yorktown government will be better run in the future and that is a good thing. However we did not need the New York State Comptroller to tell us how. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

What is the "Tea Party" Really?
Dear Readers:
Question: Does ones very existence affect inter-state commerce?
This is the very question that lay behind the individual mandate (the requirement to purchase health insurance under penalty of fine and/or imprisonment) in Obama Care (the Affordable Care Act). The position of the Obama Administration and the Democrat Party is that your very life affects interstate commerce and a such can be regulated. To believe this is to believe that our Constitution has no meaning. That we are servants of government and that government dictates what are rights are.
The premise, the very first pillar holding up our government is in our founding document The Declaration of Independence. This pillar, that we are empowered at birth with certain rights granted us by nature and nature's God. "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are ours not by government decree but by birth and no government can take them away without our consent. This was a unique position, for at the time of our founding, the opposite was true.
This is the past, being servants of government, that the Obama Administration and the Democrat Party wish to take us. This is the foundation of Obama Care. To force perfectly healthy people into buying private health insurance with coverage dictated by the government, so as to subsidize people with chronic illness and pre-existing conditions. Because you live you must be insured.
This government position is understandable as they already dictate what kind of toilet we can have. What kind of shower head we can have. What kind of light bulb we must use. They usurped this power form us because we allowed it, as there is no existing constitutional authority to do these. Now they are grabbing the whole enchilada. Total control.
The reversing of this trend, to bring government back to being servants of the people, is what the "Tea Party" is about. To prevent a ruling class from taking permanent hold is what is behind this movement. You see the "Tea Party" is not a party per-say but a way of thinking. In spite of what Vice-President Bieden and Senate Majority Leader Reid say, it is not a party of terrorists. In spite of the media template, it is not a party of bigots, homophobes and xenophobes.
Taxes enough already. That is what the "Tea" in "tea Party stand for. They know that government takes enough money from us already. The know that every dollar taken is less for us to enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". They know that no congress can compel a future congress to spending cuts as every congress has the constitutional right to make their own budget. They know no congress has spent less then the last congress. They know that to believe that the Constitution has no meaning, that future cuts in spending is not a fallacy, that we are servants of the government is to be a fool. What the "tea Party" is not, are a bunch of fools. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.

UN-FUNDED MANDATE MADNESS
Dear Readers:
Question: When is an un-funded mandate not an un-funded mandate?
Another question: When is an un-funded mandate perfectly okay with an elected official?
The answer to both question is when they are imposed on private business.
Finger Printing:
Tuesday (08/09/11) and Wednesday (08/10/11) were the second and third meetings between the Peekskill taxi industry and the Peekskill police who licence taxis. The purpose of these meetings is to review and upgrade the taxi code with input from the taxi industry. In my last post on this topic (http://ncnlocal.com/blogs/article_026dc924-c1e0-11e0-b33f-001cc4c002e0.html) I talked about some of the issues of concern to the taxi industry of which I am a member as I am part owner of a taxi company licensed out of Peekskill.
The first meeting a big bone of contention was the proposed rule change regarding finger printing of licensed drivers. As of now it is no longer required after five years of driving with a clean record. The new proposal is to finger print every year. The only case cited as the reason is a driver within ten years acquired a criminal record outside the jurisdiction of Peekskill. One case and every taxi driver must be punished. The cost of this un-funded mandate is $86.00 and you have to go to Mahopac to get this done. The problem when the licensing official and the same enforcement official are the police is that police come to think over a period of time is that everyone is a potential criminal. I would suggest that if this one case happened within ten years then move the five year requirement to ten years. Being that there was only one case cited, I believe this is a solution looking for a problem.
Limiting the Taxi Drivers Licence:
Does the desire of a cab owner to want to hire a driver out weigh the cost of administering taxis in general? We were told that if there are no limits on taxi driver licence's, that eventually the now cost of $125.00 a year would be increased (probably another $50.00) to cover the increased cost of administration.. So should owner/operators who have no intention of hiring a driver subsidize those who do with a higher fee? The reality is that if you ask most cab drivers, and they have been asked, they will tell you there are already too many driver already. This may or may not happen as there are court challenges to this in other jurisdiction a of this writing. Peekskill will wait for a ruling before this is implemented or not.
Taxi Liability:
In an idea coming out of City Hall according to my sources, a proposal to require a one million dollar insurance liability on all taxis was met with universal resistance by the industry. This epitome of un-funded mandates would raise the average insurance policy to $8,000.00 a year per car. That is if the carrier does not drop the insured which two companies that insure taxis said would happen.
We were told that this proposal is based on what White Plains and New Rochelle are doing. This is comparing apples to oranges as both those jurisdictions have fleets only. It is a matter of record that fleet drivers are more careless than owner/operators as a car owner is likely to be a safer driver.
We were also told that this is to protect the City against lawsuits resulting from a serious accident. As we are not at this time being provided with the information on how many lawsuits are pending or have been in the past initiated against Peekskill by people injured in taxi accidents, it seems to be a state secret, my guess is that there are one or none. This is another solution looking for a problem.
We are told over and over again that the city is short on man power because of the recession and upping taxes on the people would not be wise at this time. This proposal supposes that the taxi industry is recession proof. The we can take a $8,000.00 hit in increased costs. This is on top of the average increase in gas costs of $4,000.00 over last year and this is only August. Plus the increase in finger printing costs proposed and the increase cost of car maintenance needed to pass muster with the taxi inspector which is done twice a year.
Butt Out:
The initial reason for the review of taxi codes as was explained to me was to manage the amount of taxis and drivers on the road. This liability proposal goes beyond the scope of this review. It will put owner/operators and small companies out of business. This proposal by people in City Hall who neither drive, ride or can spell taxi should die the death it deserves. As this is an idea out of City Hall being based on other jurisdictions that have no relation to Peekskill, by people who do not know the difference, these people should butt out. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
