Y O U    K I D D I N G   ME ???????????????

Even on Holy Thursday.....some can't resist the evilness....



DV is only a Catholic on the outside.   He's like the hypocrites that stand on the corner and preach.   For someone to have the nerver to put those quotes, well DV, come on, tell us, what would Jesus say about increasing the taxes on the financially struggling people in the city in order to exclude the millionaires from paying taxes?   Yeah, the wannabee priest.  I think the rules changed, or got more strictly enforced

Hope DV goes to confession before Mass tonight, because all the obscenities he needs to confess, and hope he confesses how he supports making financially struggling people struggle even more

Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

From code enforcement.  They are the owners of the dilapidated building actually sitting @ 4 Corners.  They will most likely refuse to fix it up or rip it down until they're allowed to do what they want.

If no one has read the minutes of the planning meeting I suggest they do. From what I read I think very legitimate concerns have been raised and decision to not recommend approval is justified.
CVS has sent request to TB for review and meeting to present their case.
Mr. Severson made some comments, which obviously irritated a few of the residents.  Here's the part that confused me, however, with
his comments:
Quoted Text
The thing that concerns me is that the opposition seems to be more, at least what I have heard at the Town Board meetings and at previous Planning Commissions and even what I read, there was an article in the Spotlight last week, it seems that most of the objections to this project, at least in the neighborhood, isn't that they are objecting to it being retail business but that they are objecting to a CVS and I don't believe that

But at previous meeting Mr. Severson was quoted by the media as:
Quoted Text
“The thing that concerns me is that the opposition seems to be … isn’t that they are objecting it to being a retail business, but they are objecting to it being a CVS,” Severson said.

Now, I have been wrong many times in my life, and again I may be wrong.....but isn't Mr. Severson the one that said the residents were objecting becuase it's CVS and now saying he has "heard", "read" that comment and doesn't believe it's true!  So the first time "HE" makes the comment and the next time "HE" claims others have made the comment and doesn't believe it's true!   Pretty slick double talking smoke and mirrors.

But seriously, everyone should take time to read the minutes....I think it was well done!
I'm sure DVOR or HAMBURGER or new Alter-ego's wil chime in for me to GFMyself, etc., and skirt the issue and deny everything.....oh, well....to be expected from "imbiciles" !!!

CVS appears to be exempt for all codes in rotterdam. And as far as the homes next to it....I'd have to guess that they were notgoing to invest one more dime into these homes, in hopes that cvs will be their cash cow and knock them down.

CVS has already proven what a good neighbor they are to rotterdamians. NOT!! That building, right in the middle of town, at a busy intersection, surrounded by residential homes, has looked like a sh!thole for years and years. As soon as CVS bought that property, the homes right next to it stopped doing anything to keep up their property hoping that someday cvs would buy them up!

Now IF cvs gets the nod to build on that corner, they have already said that they will vacate the one at the 5 corners. So CVS will just be shifting one sh!thole to another area!  

CVS has already proven that they are not a responsible 'good neighbor'. They don't want to sign a new lease at 5 corners...they want to knock rite aid out.......they don't give a crap about rotterdamians!! It doesn't take a rocket scientist here folks!!

Be careful what you wish for rotterdamians!!

CVS plan before Town Board
Appeal follows planners’ rejection
BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter

    CVS Pharmacy will appeal to members of the Rotterdam Town Board for a controversial zone change at Guilderland Avenue and Curry Road, after the town Planning Commission opposed the company’s latest revision to the project.
    The company had proposed blocking off Lawndale Avenue shortly before the road’s intersection with Guilderland Avenue. The remaining piece of Lawndale would then be snaked into the lot proposed for the new pharmacy, giving it an exit onto Guilderland Avenue.
    But commission members continued to have concerns about the traffic impact on the already congested intersection. Neighbors also voiced opposition to the revised proposal, arguing that it would encroach deeply into a residential area.
    “It’s back in the lap of the Town Board now,” said Tom Yuille, commission chairman.
    CVS is hoping to turn the corner into a two-story, 13,225-square-foot building with an 80-spot parking lot. If that is approved, the pharmacy would close locations at Rotterdam’s five corners intersection and on Broadway.
    Board members will have the ultimate say on the proposed zone change. Donald Zee, an attorney representing CVS, has requested board members bring the issue to a vote during their meeting next week.
    Commission recommendations are non-binding and are occasionally overturned by the board. In 2010, board members voted in favor of a controversial zone change at the Rotterdam Housing Area, allowing Sync Realty to legally lease out apartments in the former military housing complex.
    “It isn’t something that is unusual,” said Zee, who represented Sync against the town. “It’s happened in the past.”
    Zee is also hoping the board is attracted to the fiscal impact of the proposed CVS. He estimated the new building will bring in an additional $75,000 in property tax revenue for the town on top of what the pharmacy is already paying on the land. ..........................>>>>....................>>>>.....................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00902&AppName=1

WE CAN'T LET THE BIG GUNS WIN...

THE TOWN BOARD HAS TO BE FIRM....IF PLANNING SAID NO....TB SHOULD KNOW THAT IT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST

OF THE TOWN.....

So, if the TB votes YES....then they cow-towed and are not the GREAT government for the people....

Whose pockets is getting filled???
