Insider Trading by "The Powers That Be" at Montgomery Town Hall

What happens with your tax dollars while you commute and dedicate your time to your family?

Town Board Meetings, are rarely reported on in a local paper.  Commute time, dinner time, after school sports and activity time, can you find time to attend a Town Board meeting?

That's where and when the high priced additives, you have no use for, are stuffed into your tax bill.

Mike Hayes' slogan - "Keeping Montgomery on Track" -  amounts to the following:

Campaign financier ($9,000.00) & manager, Pete Mathieu, received a $200,000.00 REDUCTION in his 5 warehouse project application fee, located in our Town.

Countless engineering expense$ $ $ to squeeze 5 warehouses, parking & roads into his boggy wet land adjacent to our SPARC Buffer Lands, will be paid by you and I, the average taxpayer! 

The $13.5 million Water Line and the $$$$ Sewer Line to Scott's Corners property owners, a capital project that will cost us dearly on every future tax bill.  Mike Hayes'  - "Back on Track" big money contributors at  Scott's Corners Bank are repaid tenfold.  All Bonded Expenses buried from sight in the 2010 Budget.

The Park at Benedict Farm, originally approved by NYS Director of Parks & Recreation, designed by a qualified Park Engineering Firm with contributed funds from Cornell Cooperative Extension and SUNY Environ. Science and Forestry, the Hudson River Estuary Project ($67,000.00) was ripped up and handed over to the local 'civil' engineers only, payback for an $850.00 campaign check.  All without considering the annual future expense to taxpayers to maintain, insure and police a run of the mill recreation project hidden behind a row of trees and houses.  There is no shortage of ballfields.

The Behan 208/17 K Commercial Corridor Report, scheduled to update all non-residential zoning was discarded. The Scott's Corners Bank, received Site Specific Spot Zoning for an unknown future use. Taxpayers pay legal fees, planning board expenses and the Bank contributors benefit!  $250 D. Cocks, $500 J. Crist.
