Tim Tebow is not the greatest quarterback to play in the NFL but he is a major topic of discussion. His ability as a QB with the Denver Broncos improves every week and he has had a remarkable run of wins. He is up against a formidable opponent this week, however, in Tom Brady and the Patriots.
This week he managed to make news in Riverhead when a few high school students decided to emulate the famous Tebow kneel down for prayer. After several days of this school officials decided to suspend the students for disrupting the hallway traffic in the school.
Tebow responded to the students plight by supporting their activity but warned that they had an obligation to honor the school authority.
There is a thin line between emulating an idol and mocking him. If the student's action was the latter, the school and Tebow are owed an apology.
Solar Farm May be a Goner.
It appeared for a while that Long Island Green Energy had developed a worthwhile idea for the now capped landfill on Youngs Avenue. L.I. Green proposed to cover the vacant area with hundreds of energy producing solar panels and would pay the town a leasing fee for the privilege of utilizing the property. The town decided that such an idea would have to be bid and with that L.I. Green Energy has chosen to walk away from the proposal. Stay tuned. It may be back.
National Grid is Out
Long Island Lighting has decided that National Grid would no longer be the utility service provider for operations on Long Island. LILCO has selected PSE&G as the new service agent for the island. PSE&G has, of course, been a long time service provider for New Jersey.
Village Wants to Bust 2% Cap
The Village of Lindenhurst will hold a hearing this coming Tuesday (12/20) to discuss the possibility of voting to exceed the NY State mandated 2% property tax increase cap. This may be the start of a trend.
There are already rumblings coming from the Riverhead school board about how the 2% school tax cap is "unsustainable".
