I agree - funds shouldn't be transferred from the water district to balance the budget.  I don't agree with your characterization of our town leaders but then you are entitled to your own opinion.

However, I am raising another issue -- that is -- what services are actually necessary and essential.  Reliable and safe water for drinking, cooking, bathing and household chores is necessary and essential  (IMHO).  Is water for watering plants and gardens and lawns essential and necessary or a luxury?  Should the town consider a metered watering system - allowing for a reasonable amount of "free water" for necessary and essential uses" and charging for usage above that amount?

If water service for lawns is not available, I want a reassessment.

My property is worth less without lawn watering.

Another fraud, one of Mr. Mack's many personalities.

Has anyone noticed how the fat a** planning board troll fixates on things. for the longest time he had in his head I was Tommasone, then he accused patches of being someone called Lisa.................now he's obsessed with this Mack character................dude what's the deal? is this Mack person a lover who jilted you? maybe a character from steamroomstories.com?..............oh wait I know Mack is one of your goats.....that's it....is he the one you nicknamed TJ?...........I guess when you're a self absorbed wanna be, the pressure to keep your dirty little secrets private is so great that you have all this paranoia eating at you and it causes you to imagine things................better check under the bed..........scratch, scratch, scratch

True....but it goes well beyond this. Where is the money to fix these pumps? They have been in need of replacement for 'how long'? Let me ask someone/anyone here!! With the lack of rain and the extremely dry conditions....what happens if there is a major fire...or two...or three?? Is this pump issue actually a safety issue?

Water the garden for goodness sake....IT'S FOOD AND THIS ISN'T VEGAS...they only take water from the BIG farmers..

Wow 12 pages worth of posts for the temporary lawn watering ban..... I for one could care less, just means I have to mow my lawn less, which in 90 heat is a big plus imho.

the list will go on and on

The ineptitude or this man will cost many millions and for what - the need to reward the  millionaires club

Here is the list so far
Police station in disrepair in hopes of getting another one
Senior center building issues
Sexual harassment suit
Town hall roof
Well field

it is a damn good thing his secretary called him out on the inability to use his zipper correctly or we would be funding his retirement and life long family health plan

and now that TJ Hooker is involved

we can just blame the whole Party



This party and the others have No Plan for the regular guy


bring a plan before the taxpayers to improve infrastructure with real numbers not some low ball junk

we dont need a new police dept, we need what we have cared for

we dont need a new town hall building, we need what we have cared for

we might need a proper court - but crap you could use a Morton style Building for that

we might need central dispatch - but that is just computers and phones properly routed via the cloud not some super multi-million dollar building

we need supply to equal demand in the areas of water and sewer and proper care of these facilities

we dont need overtime and high pensions - or should we just pay minimum wage for these positions like scranton pa - remember these positions take an oath - so pay should not matter  

we need staff who will follow the rule of law across the board, not when they want to

it starts with the town board  - they drive the boat not the Super or Deputy Super - they only hold 2 votes

3 of 5 board members can yank the police chiefs chain
3 of 5 board members can make a statement to party boss'
3 of 5 board members can make a statement to the county
3 of 5 board members can change the planning board
3 of 5 board members can change the zoning board
it takes 3 of 5 board members to care about where they live
3 of 5 board members can invest in the future

or 3 of 5 board members can can turn rotterdam into schenectady

but it takes the voting public to make a difference

5 out of 5 nayboobs don't know what the heck they are talking about.

Just 2 points here.......
First....MG has been in that position for HOW MANY YEARS??? MG served under BOTH political parties....yes? MG doesn't act nor shouldn't without 'supervisor approval'.  So basically....this is 'rottendam as usual'. MG didn't serve in a vacuum.....yes? MG apparently got the 'nod' by his higher ups. Remember the FIVE who sit on the board are accountable tothe taxpayers......the buck stop there......end of story!

second....rotterdamians 'in the know' at the donut shop says it was 'concentual'. So it will boil down to a 'he said she said' issue.

just sayin

There was very little oversight when it came to MG  just so long as the developers were happy and got what they wanted. It was all mind over matter they didn't mind and we didn't matter.

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

Using a hand-held hose for a few minutes to water your garden or flower beds is permissible.  

You still haven't responded to admit your lie about using hand held hoses.   Why not?   You never are willing to admit you lie.


Proof was the guy who wrote about his parents being away and how the town told him "no" and cops came around, as well as the hand held hose for a few minutes to cool some children in a back yard as shown and told in the paper

You are just too stupid to comprehend plain English.  READ VERY SOWLY AND YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND:  Cooling children in the backyard with a hose is NOT watering your garden or flower beds.  So the liar is you -- the cowardly cuckoo -- now crawl back into your nest in your attic.

So where were MG's supervisors? Who did he answer to? Who knew the pump needed replacing and yet no money was allocated for it? Again......common sense here folks..........the buck did not and does not stop with MG!! The buck stops at the TOWN BOARD and rests solely at their feet!!!

It is obvious that MG was just the 'waterboy'!!! MG got the 'stamp of approval' from the 'higher ups'....yes? Looks like monies was diverted to other budget items that were more important than WATER.....perhaps??

This is just sooooooooooooo rottendam!!

The town board blew the money that they had for such emergencies on other things. Remember the $250,000 that was set aside for Masullo water problems that just disappeared and nobody said nothing. Who OKed the storm water drainage system that never worked in Sunrise Estates that had to be redone because it was installed wrong. Rotterdam should have an engineer instead of an appointed political hack with a made up title.  

Again.......just call your local police dept and ask them what they are instructed to view as a 'water crime'!
Get it from the horse's mouth....no?

You are an excellent research poster MC1, that has thankfully passed on some valuable info.....did you research this issue as well?
