THE WANDERING MASTER PLAN.It took years for the old Master Plan Committee to come up with a page and a half of recommendations. The Town Planner expanded that to 20 pages. What's going on here, and what's coming next? —The "Public Hearing" on those recommendations on May 10. Read them here, the Town doesn't publicize it. |

NO THINKING ALLOWED. Malloy's has been destroyed. Can the town get any more out of touch with its residents, any less in touch with its own history and sense of place, any more lacking in economic foresight? Or is this just "progress". How, then, do we define "progress"? |
 |
GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE... Our last chance to save the historic Malloy's building. Once the center of town, once a $40,000 per year tax generator. Come to the Town Board Meeting 1/11/11 7 pm and make your voice heard! Click here to get more information and petition copies you can download and have others sign! |

Mirant Coal Ash Pile at Lovett Stony Point continues to subsidize the "cheap" cost of burning coal by having coal ash, a potential "ticking time bomb" buried onsite at the Tomkins Cove Lovett property, while questions linger about if or when the town or the NYS DEC will ever require the toxins to be removed.

The latest "Poop" on the Master Plan: The Supervisor has now farmed out the Master Plan to an outside company; this after his committee spent nearly two years coming up with a scanty page and a half of "suggestions" most people would consider an afternoon's work. Marino recently claimed in a letter to the Journal-News that Stony Point "...is not for sale!" Maybe, maybe not. Read this... |

Who really runs Stony Point? Even though SPACE and a number of adjacent landowners filed an Article 78 Lawsuit to halt construction of the proposed ShopRite until a better (and legal) plan is devised. developer Pat Magee got they okay from his pals at town hall to start "grading" the land. But, what does "grading" consist of? And why isn 't there a signed map and a building permit? Take a look... |

SPACE joins Hoke Drive residents in filing Article 78. The town board muzzled speakers during its public hearings on the ShopRite application. and largely ignored the written information supplied by SPACE.

Wrong-Way Master Plan! The town board announced it's new Master Plan at the February meeting. Written by town hall employees, appointees and consultants - and two residents, with the rest of the town excluded. It took two years to come up with about 3 pages of suggestions, including giving unprecedented power to the Building Inspector - a very bad idea! Read the Draft here. |
