As you know, with the national economy ailing, the Federal Reserve Bank has been consistently reducing the prime interest rate, which has the effect of lowering what the Town earns on its cash. tHE TOWN IS RECEIVING ABOUT 45% LESS OF LAST YEARS INTEREST INCOME, ACCORDING TO CMPTROLLER MIKE KOLESAR.

Have you calculated how much our money has lessened and whatever funds we had in the bank are slowly disappearing.
We too are earning much less but our taxes are still going up.
why not look into why gasoline and heating oil are going out of style.
Now Con Edison wants a rate hike. These are the things that you should be addressing to help the residents.
Stop using our money foolishly for things like a comprehensive plan buying up more open space and above all spending so much money on the center that only one part of town uses.Your spending of money in the past has put us in this condition.
We too like a lot of things but we think about what is needed in the future.
Is the center being used as a day care center?
Is this what the center is supposed to be doing caring for children after schooll while their parents who live in affordable housing are at work?
If so does the center have a license to do this?
At one meeting one of the parents said that the chilren go to the center after school and remain there until she and her husband come home from work in other words the center was and is being used to babysit.
Need some answers please.
