Letter in 4/6/2011 Southern Dutchess News

A few weeks ago, the paper published. A "story" that the Town of Fishkill was "On Track To Erase Deficit." For regular readers, I have some good news and some bad. First the good news, to all my friends and foes who complain that my letters are too long. Let me tell you that this letter will be short.

Now the bad news. How can Fishkill be reducing it's deficit. When it's "Borrowing-Bonding" $1.8 Million to balance the 2011 budget to avoid a additional 45% tax increase? Yes, it's true, I asked the Fishkill Comptroller. At the budget meeting and this is what he told the audience, in front of Supervisor Pagones! You could have seen it too. But Fishkill is the only Southern Dutchess municipality that does not televise it's meetings. Now you know the reason why.
