Public information session set on Kiryas Joel pipeline

The following was taken from today's on-line version of the Times Herald Record:

CENTRAL VALLEY — Orange County lawmakers have confirmed they will hold a public hearing on Kiryas Joel’s proposed pipeline to the Catskill Aqueduct at Central Valley Elementary School on June 29.
The hearing begins at 7 p.m. and will be led by Legislature Chairwoman Roxanne Donnery and Legislator Frank Fornario. They have invited county officials to speak – it’s unclear if that will happen – and then plan to open the hearing to comments from the audience.
The session will take place two days before the Legislature is scheduled to vote on whether to urge County Executive Ed Diana to sue Kiryas Joel for the second time to challenge the water project’s environmental review.
The county’s 2004 lawsuit forced the village to amend its review, but officials and activists from neighboring communities argue the amended study is flawed and needs further work.

Stop The Tax Shift:

The New York Conference of Mayors has launched a public education campaign to defend property taxpayers from tax shifts that may be pushed from the state onto cities and Villages. This campaign will deliver a unified message through a new NYCOM-designed single-issue Web site, www.stopthetaxshift.org. State and local officials, the media and the public will be able to utilize this site to understand the direct connection between state actions - e.g., state aid and state mandates - and New York's real property tax burden.

Local officials and private citizens will also be able to use the Web site to deliver this message directly to state leaders, legislators and opinion-makers.
