Look at this will you…..! Is our money candy? This is our tax dollars being thrown around like candy. In the midst of a fiscal crisis, a deficit over 2 billion$$ and Thompson thinks this is a good thing? Paterson the same way, 5 million to build new housing in Nia Falls when there is a 21% vacancy rate. Same crap in Buffalo and the Falls from Thompson. 5.7 Million another 5 Million for “Private Investment” to redo vacant buildings for apartments? All that would be good IF THERE WAS PEOPLE TO PUT IN THEM! Then on Grand Island, 1 million to renovate the dilapidated Dunlop bldg? For years we have been trying to tear that asbestos building down, now Thompson wants to hire his crony unions to renovate? What bullshit.
Our tax dollares should not be used like this in good times never mind when we are in fiscal straits like we are now created by these same bozos that are spending us into oblivion.
