Sean Walter and New Board Get Ready for 2010
Wading River resident Sean Walter and his all Republican Board (Jodi Giglio, George Gabrielsen, John Dunleavy and Jim Wooten) will officially take office once the New Year rings in. They have the unenviable job of trying to straighten out the Town's finances and keep taxes at a reasonable level.
Wading River resident Sean Walter and his all Republican Board (Jodi Giglio, George Gabrielsen, John Dunleavy and Jim Wooten) will officially take office once the New Year rings in. They have the unenviable job of trying to straighten out the Town's finances and keep taxes at a reasonable level.
The Board must live with the burden of the cost of the landfill bond issue and recent overrun (8.2 million). There is an urgent need to develop new interest at EPCAL in order to defer recent expenses as well as a reduction in anticipated revenues and the possibility that Resorts (ski-lift) may pull out of a $155 million purchase agreement.
The granting of tax abatements (by the current Board) to a downtown hotel and apartment complex and the bad timing of a 123 million dollar bond issue by the Riverhead School District will not play well to Riverhead taxpayers who are always asked to write checks for hefty tax increases.
Nevertheless, we wish Sean Walter and his new Board the very best in 2010 and certainly hope they will keep the homeowners and all residents in mind when they make their important decisions.

Cardinale Tells How to Save Money.
Outgoing Supervisor Phil Cardinale says that the incoming Supervisor and Board could save a lot of money by cutting down the size of the Planning and Building Departments. He says overstaffing was caused by over estimating the number of building and permit filings which never materialized.

Seems like the winner is a bit shy and hasn't stepped forward to collect his or her $168 million smackeroos.
Tavern on the Green-will serve its final meal on New Years Eve 2009. Here's hoping this great, landmark restaurant will come back for New Yorkers
