Water & Sewer Consolidation in Fishkill?

Recently, Fishkill announced it recieved a grant to consolidate water districts in Fishkill. This is my letter to the editor regarding it.

Last week, Supervisor Pagones announced that Fishkill was the recipient. Of a grant to consider water and sewer consolidation. She mentioned that rent's in districts ranged from $7.70 to $50.40. Let me tell you how this happened. Under the regime of Pagones. She created water and sewer districts that allowed developers to put up more homes per acre. While passing the cost of water and sewer on the new homeowner. These districts include the Merritt Park districts which encompass the huge Toll Brothers development. This district has major water problems, as the NYS Health Department has called for remedial action on this well. One solution is to build a $22 million Reverse Osmosis plant. Bedford NY, a town of our size, is building one at that cost. Should the longtime taxpayer be responsible for Pagones's and the developers mistakes? The Rombout Sewer District that covers 9D. Has a $13 million debt load. Combining districts would mean that long time homeowner. That has paid off their infrastructure costs. Will now get the chance to pay for developers, that made big time cash. Let's take Pagones's numbers as a example. Let's add her numbers, that's $58 and now divide it, it's $29. So Pagones after she already tripled the water rates in Fishkill last year. Wants longtime Fishkill taxpayer. To pay much more, so developers can make make more cash. Think that's bad? What about the $10 million that she borrowed from water and sewer districts across town and transferred to the General Fund and spent? Great way to get rid of that debt on your back huh? The grant will also go to the same engineers and lawyers. That helped Pagones create this mess. No kidding, the people that caused this problem are now going to make even more cash. It pays to donate money to Pagones's political campaign. Fortunately, the citizens of Fishkill had enough of these shenanigans and voted her out and a new town board in.
