Time for a "new direction"
Lee Chowaniec
Residents who are considering voting for incumbent Lancaster Town Board Council Members this year have good reason to ponder change. For years, the entrenched single party (Democratic) Town Board has acted in such manner that many residents are of the opinion that the board is more accountable to developers, special interest groups and town employees than for the best interests of the community it was elected to serve.

A $250 donation, I think not!
Lee Chowaniec
Boston Globe Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Ellen Goodman recently wrote on President Obama requesting Congress allocate $250 to the 57 million beneficiaries of Social Security and other federal entitlement programs, regardless of income to compensate for the fact that older Americans will not get a cost-of-living increase in their 2010 checks.

The second Lancaster department head budget cut meeting
Lee Chowaniec
Damn, miss one Lancaster Town Board and who shows up, none other than the Buffalo News. How is it that they missed the first meeting last Wednesday, the more significant/detailed meeting? Who rang their bell on this one; the second dog and pony show? Regardless, thank you Ms. Pasciak for the coverage.

Condominium Law 339-y scam continues
Lee Chowaniec
In the summer of 2008, it appeared that after several years of pressure put on Albany by municipalities, their town assessors and the public to reform NYS Real Property Law 581 and 339-y, a bill drafted by Senator William Stachowski would allow municipalities the right to opt out of 339-y consideration, and with builders and realtors seeking compromise, reform would be had. No such thing happened and Lancaster taxpayers are the worse for it.

Lancaster Town Council Members to forgo 2010 budgeted salary increases
Lee Chowaniec
A special, informal Town of Lancaster work session was held last night to determine whether budgets cuts could be made to the tentative 2010 budget. While meeting with department heads and requesting they “sharpen their pencils” and come back with budget cut ideas (if possible), the four council members agreed to forgo their budgeted 2% salary increases.

Mandate, there’s that dirty word again!
Lee Chowaniec
Just after hearing how screwed I am as a taxpayer because of state and contractual mandates from the Lancaster Town Board, I attend a Lancaster Central School District (LCSD)Board of Education meeting and hear the same thing.
