This is just a waste of time in the scheme of things.
Our property taxes are not high because of an extra hovercraft ($70,000) spread over the last 7 years. It's the non negotiable monopoly of service that gives us the property taxes we have.
Electric, how many properties (commercial properties/homes) are taxed in Cheektowaga?
This hovercraft basically cost each physical town resident about .93 cents each.
$70,000 / (75,178 residents) was about .93 cents per person on our tax bill. Maybe it was a grant but it's still .93 cents spent in the behalf of the home owners. A few water drains or lamp posts could have been replaced instead. In the end it was only .93 cents per person so not a whole bunch of time should be spent on this other than dumping it.
The .93 cents was based on the information from the below website.

They need to stop talking in the "we" voice. The "town" didn't decide to keep it. The elected "management" team assembled by the Cheektowaga Democratic Party decided to keep the hovercraft.
Gorja? Can you find me the resolution so we can see who voted yes on this purchase in the first place?

So who told Gerald it was sold? He said it was in an article April 26th 2018
But...
Jerry being a equipment dealer must have skimmed the agreement correct? What gave him the idea it was a done deal?
So .... a recent tour? Really? Franco and Jerry were touring the town highway department and noticed the hovercraft sitting there? They were probably chatting about some hole that needed filling..
Don't blame Channel 2.
I think it would be far more interesting if Jim video taped the meeting.
Seeing that Jerry owns an equipment business why isn't he stepping up to the plate and using his experience to get rid of it?
Jerry has a point in this case.
Who was handing the sale having contact with -Universal Hovercraft of Rockford Illinois?
