More nothing from Death Ray and the horrible DEMS. Other than a new stoplight there is no Metrograft involvement. They are desperately trying to spin Mohawk Honda fleeing Downtown and a Target as some big accomplishment. Any sales at Target will be taken from nearby Walmart, Hannaford and Price Chopper. This adds nothing new to the mix.

     As far as the same person "leading" County Planner and Metrograft this is an inherent contradiction that can never work. Metrograft is to revitalize Downtown {total failure}. The County Planner should be concerned with the entire County not two blocks around Proctor's. One non-planner cannot not be "leading" both agencies. Hire a real planner and fold all planning into Metrograft- finally the taxpayers would see some savings.

First, I think that Target and Walmart will both do well and survive at their locations. Actually, I think that Target will be a good fit at that location, since it was big box already.

Second, since the plex is involved, it will be interesting to see if Gillen gave away the farm, in the way of tax exemptions,, to this nationally successful big box business. Hopefully, Target chose this location based on their market research and not on lucrative tax incentives. And hopefully Target isn't getting the 10 year tax exemption, cause if they do, they will be gone in 10 years with no benefit to the Glenville taxpayers.

I'm all for tax incentives, but these tax incentives should be in the way of NYS lowering their business tax and fees, not by having the residents shoulder the entire cost through their property taxes.

Metroplex should be audited for the last 5 years and their accomplishments or lack there of published and measured against what Metroplex was formed for. Did they lower taxes, did they create jobs, did they bring any viable businesses into the county and how many businesses that they were involved with failed and cost the taxpayer how much money. If the results are negative then Metroplex should be dissolved for not doing what they promised the taxpayer they would do.

They were audited by the current State Comptroller. The audit results were pathetic. Gross mismanagement, problems at all the parking lots, featherbedding, failure to meet job creation goals, poor record of loan repayment. Obviously, there was no tax benefit.

     Here's the worst part-no one cared. A collective yawn from the in the bag Gazetto and every elected "leader". Party on dudes-no one is watching you? No one will admit that the emperor has no clothes, that Metrograft has been a total failure of socialism and that the increased sales taxes should must be immediately returned to the consumer.

     You want "rebirth"? Slash County taxes-slash local taxes-eliminate entire governmental programs and every non State mandated DSS program. Then you will see private sector job creation and increased revenues. Dump every DEM politician that "understands the importance of high taxes" and replace them with CONS business people.
