Graham, I wish the two party system worked in the practical sense as it does in the theoretical. We had an administration of Republicans give away hundreds of thousand of taxpayer dollars through a verbal agreement without resolution, and this current Democrat administration doesn't want to spend money on litigation and screw the Republicans to the wall politically, and more importantly, give the residents of Rotterdam an explanation of where the money went. FDG is NOT representing Rotterdam interests, but rather the interests of REMS and those people that were responsible for the theft. Rotterdam is run by what is in essence crime syndicates, and party affiliation doesn't matter. Decisions are NEVER made for what is best for the WHOLE community but instead what is best for the party in power and the FEW close friends, families members, and business partners, at the expense of 29,000 residents.
Exactly!!! Anyone with a drop of character and integrity would not do what these people do democrat or republican.......

I believe Matt M. took the time to go look at the area. He concluded it was far to congested to approve additional MFRH in that area. Also, because the existing density was noncompliant with current zoning regulations, that would reinforce his decision. This rezone didn't take any particular insight, just go look at the area. The Town spent more effort on the denial of the petition of protest, than it did on the merits of the rezone. I'm not an MM fan, but I will give him credit for making the right call on this one! Of course, you get the game where the vote is "established" before the vote takes place to make certain members appear sympathetic, and one needs to be wary of that ploy. Word on the street is that the applicant is a bocce ball player with FDG and they (with two other T. of R. developers) refer to themselves as the "millionaires club". Hopefully, What goes around, Comes around!
Why would they even care about your feelings? The democraps have ALL town seat, 13 out of 15 county legislative seats, ALL city seats, ALL countywide seats. Congressman, BOTH US Senators, Assembly, Governor, and only one vote shy in the Senate. Oh yes let us not forget the presidency and the local police department. Why would they CARE what you think? You and your neighbors gave them that because you wanted the "Obama team" in Rotterdam like it is everywhere else. Their motto is "F you, we do what we want!"
When you realize that a dictatorship is dangerous and that we are a nation best served by two parties then maybe politicians will be more careful, but when you hand them the keys to the car and they do burn outs on your lawn then you have to ask yourself who's fault it is.
I say even 3 parties.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
They started digging yesterday7/2. I called PW today, and they informed me he has already appeared in front of the Zoning Board of Apeals and has been reissued a new building permit
