You are OK with paying your own way to Scotland, but not your own way to Nott Street?  Interesting!

...yeah, you and that idiot liberal judge who let the Lockerbie bomber al Megrahi go can have lunch together every day!


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

What the heck?     If I have to drive to Nott Street -- I get in the car that I paid for myself and turn the
engine on (which runs on gas that I paid for myself) and drive there.

But if that trip is to the hospital, via ambulance, you would prefer for others to pay for a major portion of your ride, instead of paying for it yourself, hence your support of the REMS tax district.

The major portion of an ambulance trip to a hospital is paid by the insurance company and/or the person
riding in the ambulance.     When my mother was ill the last year of her life ... and she had to go back and
forth to Albany Medical Center ... her insurance covered only part of the $750 ambulance bill -- I paid the
rest ----- by the way .. she lived in Schenectady so that was Mohawk ambulance to which the money was
paid.

The ambulance district is calling for 10cents per thousand --- my home is worth $200,000 .. so that is $20
a year ---- the total raised  from all taxpayers will be about $240,000  -- far from being the MAJOR
PORTION of the cost of the ambulance service --- and it will be used for new ambulances and new
equipment .. not   salaries, benefits, and other operating costs.

So, they're getting $120,000 / yr from the town now. IF this tax passes, they're going to get twice as much ($240,000).  I thought they weren't operating in the red now? If that's true, what do they need a 100% increase in stipend for?

A traditonal Scottish song:

Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
Chorus
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?

I will build my love a tower
Near yon' pure crystal fountain
And on it I will build
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, Lassie go?

If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
