11/18/07 - There Goes The Rye Town Fund Balance. What's Next? Maybe, Service Cuts And Pink Slips For Rye Town Employees?



Rye Town Supervisor Elect Joe Is A Darn Good Liar

Lies, Lies, Lies And More Lies

Did someone forget to tell Joe Carvin that a bunch of greedy hedge fund guys have wreaked the national economy and that the Town of Rye will be under sever financial pressure next year.

Now let's see if I got this straight.

Joe Carvin is going to hire an expensive Town administrator with full benefits.

Then he going to take an under employed doctor and make him a $65,000 secretary with benefits.

He's going to cut $800,000 from the Town Budget in two years.

He is not going to layoff or fire any Town Employees.

He's not going to cut any Town Services. In fact he says he is going to improve Rye Town services and parks at no additional cost.

Now he's not going to collect or charge interest on school funds.

Rye Town Tax payers just lost almost a half a million dollars and Supervisor Elect Joe Carvin has not even been sworn in yet. Who is going to pay for Carvin's foolish giveaway to the wasteful schools.

The Single Family Homeowners Of Port Chester And Rye Brook.

What's next?

Is he going to send his soon to be new confidential secretary, also known as, ex-Port Chester Republican Chairman Dr. Janus "I Need More Money" Richards to give everyone in Port Chester a back rub.

Will some tell Joe that the campaign is over. He can stop lying now.

Supervisor-elect Joseph Carvin is pledging to change the way the town distributes school taxes, forfeiting hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest to its school districts.

Rye town would lose $400,000 in interest revenue by turning over taxes within five days of the semiannual tax deadlines of Sept. 30 and Jan. 31, as required by county tax law. The town has long distributed taxes to its three districts - Blind Brook, Rye Neck and Port Chester - in 10 monthly installments.

"In terms of payment, we'll pay the money to the schools five days after we receive the money, assuming the schools want them," Carvin said.......

.....The policy also will affect the 2008 budget, which is under review by the Town Board and must be adopted before Carvin takes office. Town Accountant David Byrnes said Rye would lose about $400,000 in revenue that is included in the tentative spending plan.

"It would be a loss of revenue," Byrnes said. "It could come from the fund balance; it could come from expense cuts, possibly. That would be the challenge of the new administration.".....

Plus the supervisor Elect has to let Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel

Plus Carvin Still Has To Take Care Of Sam "I Am So Sleazy" Terenzi.

I Will Believe It When I See It.

Why won't Lazy Liz Sadler ask Carvin the tough questions like.

Hey Joe, How are you going to pay for this half a million dollar giveaway?

11/16/07 - Port Chester's Make Believe Publisher Richard Fable Is Still In Shock As Another One Bites The Dust


Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Fable Sceams, "Daddy What Are We Going To Do !!!!"


Then Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Fable says,"Shut Up You Little Snot Nosed Punk. Don't Worry The people of Port Chester are stupid.
First they let me get away with forgetting to pay over 100 property tax bills, then they willingly pay us big bucks to read the Hopelessly Biased Rag Known As The Westmore Snooze online."


Long long ago, a hedge fund research guy far, far away office in Greenwich produced a long winded report looking at economic models of online newspapers, and whether newspapers could charge for visits to their website.


It was an impressive report of a couple of hundred pages, but I’ll boil it down for you:


Nothing works, except The Wall Street Journal.


The Wall Street Journal for years has been the exception that proves the rule, charging subscriptions for access to its online edition.


And now, Un - Abel and Dis - Abel are panicing now that Wall Street Journal is going to be FREE like Port Chester Roundup and The Journal News.


Rupert "The Billionaire Tyrant" Murdoch, just bought the Wall Street Journal and says the WSJ is going FREE.


The Fables and that hopelessly biased rag known as the Westmore Snooze need to wake up and smell the coffee.


If you want an election update, a school sports score, or a news account about the board of trustees, there is an infinite amount of information a click away.


All this information on the web creates its own price structure.


And the going rate for nearly all the information out there is....


$0.00


The New York Times had to admit to this reality, when they decided to stop their TimesSelect gambit. The Economist had to give up the ghost. Slate tried the subscription model, before it realized it just wasn’t going to happen. And now the Journal is wondering aloud whether it should change its strategy, even if it means -- as Reuters reported – taking a hit in the short term.


So next time you get frustrated at the weird or irritating ads that pop up or move around, or have to enter in a zip code at a website, or notice that a word or two in the story is sponsored by an advertiser, remember that’s the price you pay for paying nothing at all.


Then ask your self, why am I paying the Fables to access this crap at the Hopelessly Biased Rag Known As The Westmore Snooze.

11/14/07 - Stop The Censorship In Port Chester Goverment


True Blue Conservative Complains To Port Chester Board Of Trustees About No Longer Receiving Press Releases And Board Meeting Press Kit.


Port Chester used to layout press kits for all members of the press at each Port Chester Board Of Trustees Meeting. The press kits were placed next to the government access camera.


For nearly two years The True Blue Conservative received the press kit and used it to keep the single family homeowners of Port Chester informed about what is occurring in at Board Of Trustee Meetings.


Further, The True Blue Conservative has shared items in the press kit with members of the public that attend Port Chester Board Of Trustee Meetings to get their reactions to pending governmental actions.


However, the True Blue Conservative stopped receiving the press kit, when he shared the contents with Port Chester citizens opposed to a client of Bruno "Spot Zone" Gioffre's request to create two flag lots.


It appears that the True Blue Conservative is being punished by Port Chester Village Manager and Clerk Bill Williams for sharing information with concerned single family homeowners in Port Chester.


Several times during the last two years the True Blue Conservative has spoke at Port Chester Board Of Trustee meetings that the Port Chester press kit, all individual press releases, and all documents related to public hearings should be put on the Port Chester Village web site.


Moreover, the True Blue Conservative has repeatedly requested that copies of the Port Chester Press Kit and all Public Hearing documents be made available to all citizens at a table at each Port Chester Board Of Trustee Meeting.


To date a only hand full of press releases have been put up on the

Port Chester web site.


Former Village Clerk Kieth Rang had put a couple of links to Public Hearing documents, but once the public started accessing these documents and cumming to the public hearings well prepared the practice was quickly stopped.


This censorship in Port Chester has to stop.


The County Of Westchester provides press kits to small publishers and web sites, such as Westchester.com.


The City Of White Plains provide press releases to small publishers and to web sites such as White Plains CitizeNetReporter.


The City Of Yonkers provide press releases to small publishers and to websites such as The Yonkers Insider .


Many other Westchester Cities, Towns and Villages provide press releases to small publishers and websites. In fact, we are not aware of any governmental body in all of Westchester County that has curtailed or refused to provide press releases to small publishers or web sites, except for Port Chester.


Port Chester Trustee Dan Brakewood used his trustee comments time to expressed that he thought the newspaper coverage of how the two new Port Chester Trustees were selected was one sided and very negative.


Port Chester Trustee John Crane also used his trustee comments time to echo Trustee Brakewood's Comments that the newspaper coverage of how the two new Port Chester Trustees were selected was one sided and very negative.


Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla concurred with Trustee's Brakewood and Crane and use his mayo rial comments time to say that he was going to battle the negative newspaper coverage by increasing the number of media outlets that received press kits.


In fact, Mayor Pilla said that he had already doubled the list of television and cable media outlets that received a press kit for the last Port Chester Board Of Trustees Meeting.


Guess what happened?


When the new Cable and Media outlets were added to the press release list and made aware of the Port Chester Board Of Trustees Meeting they showed up and covered the meeting.


The last Port Chester Board Of Trustees Meeting had television cameras from Channel 75 -The Cablevision Government Access Channel, News 12 and RNN - The Regional News Channel.


Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla has promised that Port Chester Village Manager And Clerk Bill Williams will once again have Press Kits available to all members of the media who show up at the next Port Chester Board Of Trustee's Meeting.


Hopefully, the press kits will be made available so that the single family homeowners will be kept fully informed about how their tax dollars are being spent in Port Chester.


Let's face it their has not been one article in the hopelessly biased rag known as the Westmore News about how Port Chester Development Consultant Gary Gianfrancesco has pocketed close to one and a half million dollars on the bottomless money pit known as the old Horton School.


At the last Port Chester Board Of Trustees meeting their were several resolutions about the bottomless money pit known as the old Horton School. The Abel's who own the hopelessly biased rag known as the Westmore News were given a press kit showing how Port Chester Development Consultant Gary "I Made Over A Million At Horton School" Gianfrancesco marks up contracts and change orders by an outrageous 21%.


However, the True Blue Conservative is not allowed to see or have access to the press kit that the biased Abel's are just sitting on.


Port Chester Development Consultant Gary "I Made Over A Million At Horton School" Gianfrancesco gets away with murder, because not all media outlets get access to the Port Chester Board Of Trustees Press Kit.


The True Blue Conservative can only help inform the single family homeowners of Port Chester if Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla makes sure that Port Chester Village Manager and Clerk Bill Williams has press kits available at the next Port Chester Board Of Trustees Meeting for all the media outlets that wants and needs one.
