    That is just the Fed money, there is more from the State. Not to mention the IDA advantage.

    I see what you mean now. I don't get it either. There are only 29 US Congressional districts in NYS.

    We appreciate the fact you are looking for hooks, believe me.

    Just trying to keep score and also remind others. Its good to be as accurate as possible.
    I believe Congressmen Lee is looking hard at this expansion - I hope he See's through the "Politics" and hears the Residents(Voters).

    Looking at all the money the airport got makes me wonder. If they got all that money what the hell did they need tax abatements for. this airport is swimming in money. If they can't figure out how to make a profit after they got wads of cash from the feds, they don't deserve an abatement.
    The town board creates the problems and when the residents complain, the town board tells them it's the resident's fault.

    Pyramid type deal

    The funding is incredible - if you look at the total amounts and then see where it was spent -

    They have built most everything there with tax dollars - $700,000.00 tax funded chain-link fence?(God, I know allot of contractors who would have loved to get that job)

    Break this thing down and it looks like a pyramid scheme - everyone keeps pouring tax money in(at the bottom) and the owners just keep popping up as beneficiaries.

    Tax dollars, tax forgiveness, tax money to acquire land , tax dollars to expand rental income potential, $12-Million + tax dollars

    Where did all that money go ?

    I guess it all depends on who you know. All I know is, something doesn't add up.
