It doesn't require the kind of equipment that a library does either. Also, a Synagogue is not a public building. <BR/><BR/>I don't think Joe the Plumber charges more for his services when he crosses over the Metro North tracks on Fennimore Road.

This is not a huge, but still sizeable building and I'm sure construction costs in Scarsdale must be quite high. Certainly a small-town library wouldn't need to be twice this structure's size. So, how come middle-class Greenburgh's building costs 5X this other public structure?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-42386151539859002372008-11-09T22:24:00.000-05:002008-11-09T22:24:00.000-05:00Ed: The referendum was approved by fewer than 70 v...Ed: The referendum was approved by fewer than 70 votes.

The architect showedrendering of he project which have zero resemblence to the finished structure. The construction manager jobbed us by bidding low to get the job, and then submitted his bill when he went to contract over $60,000 higher, was responsible for delays which cost us money and expanded his contracted dollars by tacking on additional months. It was like the more inefficient he was, the more money he was paid. The town is as guilty as sin for allowing the charade to happen...and still happening.<BR/><BR/>Yes I was for he concept of a new library, bu not the implementation.<BR/><BR/>I am also against the cavalier way the library makes demands on the town; always seems to find money after crying poor; has no concept of fiscal responsibility; and should be held to a strict line item review or else.<BR/><BR/>I would also like to say Iwas duped into believing a 46,000 sq/ft structure was needed.<BR/><BR/>However, I am trying my darndest to remedy my pre=referendum error.<BR/><BR/>I would also like to say, as a Monday mornig quarterback, I think with all the facts in eidence, I would NEVER have supported this monstrosity.ed krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884806213564738289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-18205875508037603492008-11-09T19:47:00.000-05:002008-11-09T19:47:00.000-05:00Work sessions can be watched live on the town web ...Work sessions can be watched live on the town web site.
