I don't agree.  There needs to be a half-way house here locally for Federal releasees.  As it stands the closest one is in Binghampton.  Fr. Peter Young used to have the contract and tried recently to get the contract just so that he could house two local folks one from Rotterdam.  What happened to you guys wanting to give someone a "hand-up not handout?

He can't. He didn't get the contract.  What's your problem?  Are you tied to the police force?

Why would it matter if someone is 'tied' to the police force? That is not the issue here.  The issue is taking taxable property off rotterdam tax rolls. One of the last things rotterdam needs right now. They have already taken industrial property and turned it over to residential(sync).

If this father young didn't get the contract...than who exactly did? And why rotterdam? Rotterdam is suppose to be that 'nice place to live'. A hamlet so to say with good schools, a gazillion little parks and family oriented. And now a proposed halfway house for criminal felons who need to ease their way into society?  

Rotterdam residents are 'supposedly' struggling with high taxes and yet someone is actually proposing a tax exempt entity?We'll have to wait and see how they vote on this one!

As a side note.....Police enforcers put their life on the line to put these scum bags away. I guess the liberal socialists will victimize the criminal, so we are suppose to feel sorry for their criminal a$$!

I DON'T THINK SO!

I predict they will all fall on the sword for this one. They will portray these felons/criminals as the victims of the crime. They will use the words 'rehabilitate', 'second chance', 'ease into society'.....well the usual catch phrases to powder puff over the real issues.

I will be pleasantly surprised if they choose the opposite.

Actually half way houses are instrumental in prevention of repeat offenders.  These are people that served their required time and were paroled to a half way house to start back into society.  Are you worried they will rob Adult world?  

And what is the problem with the Sync rezoning?  You made it about the tax rolls then mentioned Sync....which pays taxes on the property.

The question is what is the percentage of repeat offenders that are placed back in prison because they don't want or can't find a job and go back to doing what's easy for them and what put them in jail in the first place.
