I thankfully don't have a Casino coming to my town, but my neighbors and I are always concerned some politically connected developer will discover our own little Shangri-La and ruin a lifetime's worth of work.<br /><br />Can only imagine what you are going through and sympathize with your plight.<br /><br />Thanks to Alan as well for helping to shine the light on this dark dirty process, any one of us could be next.Figlessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-58349125002230677142014-08-22T21:05:15.582-04:002014-08-22T21:05:15.582-04:00Alan, I appreciate and respect your clear and coge...Alan, I appreciate and respect your clear and cogent review. As mentioned it is SPOT ON! It is astonishing that our local EG Town Board (except for one ...) has the inability to see, or the lack of courage to admit this casino initiative "process" is so egregious that it defies logic for any support whatsoever. Feathers blatant incentive (BRIBE) to Albany to support this initiative after they voted to reject the same for their town is the highest level of hypocrisy and lack of moral character I've ever witnessed. It is seriously disturbing all of the self interests and complete disregard for facts, history, empirical evidence and the complete absence of any analytic process on any data from the developer's. Simply astonishing and irresponsible and absurd. The EG Town Board members who are still in support of this very flawed idea are going to feel the wrath of the voters. They are going to be fired by the voters and they have seriously underestimated the strength and resolve of the clear thinking residents in opposition to this initiative. Again, many thanks for your clear sound voice on this issue.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-51415042250012615852014-08-22T10:20:52.357-04:002014-08-22T10:20:52.357-04:00Another spot, right on article, Alan.

We are being used as pawns for his self gain, but the so called King, will be Check-Mated. We the residents are watching every move our town board, zoning board and planning board makes, very closely. Improprieties have been noted by them before. We welcome all media outlets to observe and report on the Chess Match, playing out in our town. We will win, because the King is vulnerable. His Queen and Bishops are vulnerable too. We have players who are very skilled in offensive maneuvers. We are very determined to win. It's our town now, not Feathers, and we plan on keeping it that way. Much gratitude for your voice.Bonnienoreply@blogger.com
