The floods of Mamoroneck, the oil in the gulf…20 year studies..the elephant of government moving to slowly…smoke and mirrors?  The people of mamoroneck feel often put upon..19,000 tax payers who feel overdevelopment, lack of maintainance and study after study of a problem that the up county towns don’t want to be fixed..or care to…but there are some recommendations..

 

Like

Fixing the problem

I proposed inkind construction donation from companies..as well as creating a private fund now to help accrue to fix problems..like a Friends of the library organization only called..THE NO MORE FLOODS FUND..or something there abouts..65 per cetn federal monies get triggered in five years if there is matching monies…but political will has to be there, it wasn’t in 1989..lets get it done and take control.

We will go in once amonth with volunteers into the Rivers as well

Create a citizen advisory board, that actually helps write the report with the ACE  (Army corps of engineers) who are working on the five year study.

Nita Lowey or legislators from this area can write a law stopping home rule versus fixing FEMA disaster problems…70 million dollars or more were lost or spent..in april 2007 of tax money

 

I am a strong believer in the country we live in.. and that we can change things still to this day..Habitat does it every day with our own sweat equity day in and day out..

 

Tonite we celebrate our HABITAT HEROES..locally in Yonkers…we have so many Local HABITAT HEROS.. all over the county that we share these small gatherings to raise support and celebrate their hard work..stay tuned…tonite at 66 Main Street. Yonkers.
