Arlott Office Products...that would be Jim D'Onofrio's business. He is the County Legislator from New Hartford and supplier of office machines for town offices.  |

Here's a great reference for some more webcams northern-nys.com/A bunch up north. Not many around here. I should put a grease cam up looking out my work window at the filth next door at the restaurant ;D |

Very interesting Cathy. Gee, I wonder if there is a bidding process for those office machines, and how fair and unbiased the bidding process is.
Glad to see that YOU are still with us. I applaude your work in keeping the public apprised of the crap that goes on behind closed doors in NH. Between yourself and Strikeslip, we can be assured of the REAL story, while the OD either prints a biased version or none at all.
Don't be a stranger. Not all will agree with you, and not all posts will be well received by everyone, but those of us that are interested appreciate your views and the expose' of the garbage that passes for politics in NH. It effects the whole area.
I live in Tennessee right now, but I still have this insane desire to come "home" in order to be overtaxed, and overcharged for everything, just because it was always my home and it is the most beautiful area in the whole United States of America. I hope to be back there within the next couple of years, and when I come home, I will not be leaving again. I will be placed beneath the sod in the cemetery on French Road in Clarks Mills, haha.
Don't be a stranger, and don't be thin skinned. While you will not always find agreement here, there are some of us that truly appreciate your opinions and your agenda. Keep up the good work. Put it up here on the forum, and let the comments roll. I would have to assume that YOUR efforts along with Ed Wiatr's have brought about change, and have something to do with Earl Reeds decision to retire from his office. Kudos.

Clip, at your wake, you may lie a little higher in the casket from the money in your back pocket, but that's probably all you'll accomplish by living in a place where your heart couldn't follow. |

LOL You may be correct Dave, but I am reasonably sure that Kathy will make sure that my wallet doesn't go with me to the grave, haha.
I am sure that as soon as we can sell this house without losing our ass on it, we will be looking to move back to NY State. Property is not selling here at all. We cannot afford to lose all that we have put into this house making it modern and pleasant to live in. It is a matter of time until the market rebounds enough, or we are able to find someone willing to pay what we are wanting to get out of it.

Hahaha! And I'm hoping for the opposite ... that the market will stay depressed .... so Mrs. Dave loses her enthusiasm for moving up the road 50 miles.

I can sympathize with that Dave. Having seen pictures of your place, I would not want to move either. It is a beautiful location and very nice. You won't find that up near Albany. Not with the acreage and the places for your radios and printing presses, plus the beautifully landscaped lot and the scenic views.

Thank you Clipper. Believe me, one thing I have learned over the past 4 years is to not be thin-skinned.
We will be supporting a couple of candidates for New Hartford town government so it is going to get busy for me, but I will enjoy every minute. Who knows, maybe the people in New Hartford are now ready for a change in the way business is done. I certainly hope so.

Keep us apprised Cathy. Many of us follow your efforts and the NH political scene via your sites, as well as Faultlines, and other sources. I truly believe that New Hartford politics has a great spillover effect on the whole area, and more people should be watching and commenting on the corruption going on there.
As I said, I live in Tennessee presently, but will be coming "home" shortly, and I have remained vocal and active in sharing my opinions and supporting or speaking out against issues that affect the area.
New Hartford's disgraceful lack of consideration for surrounding towns and the county taxpayers makes it imperative that all Oneida County voters and taxpayers stay on top of the situation, and make their legislators aware of their disdain for eventually having to pay the bills for NH politicians and their poor judgment.
Keep up the great work. It IS appreciated. I hope your holiday weekend is a good one. Enjoy and God bless.
