  • On Wednesday, March 4, the DRI (Downtown Revitalization Initiative) Committee meets at 2:30 p.m. at City Hall. Expected topics of discussion are the request for expressions of interest for the Dunn warehouse and future plans for the Furgary Boat Club, known in DRI parlance as "the Historic Fishing Village."
  • Also on Wednesday, March 4, the Common Council Youth, Education, Seniors, and Recreation Committee meets at 5:30 p.m. and the Housing and Transportation Committee meets at 6:45 p.m.
And that's it for meetings this week.

  2. Revitalization of North Dock by removing life long residents who pay a fee for improved access and replace them with tourist that pay nothing.

    The area beneath the graph of our collective littoral liberty as a function of time has become arbitrarily and capriciously small.

    Its malicious municipal malfeasance when bills of attainder restrict what city laggers are required to promote.

    1. The only laggers were the non taxpaying squatters occupying the public north bay waterfront for their own personal private use on the public dime. The only municipal malfeasance was the failure to bulldoze those shacks built from trash the day after the city kicked the squatters out. "Stewards" do not hoard and attempt to steal public property for their personal use, or steal power and cable by illegally tapping into power lines. It is getting warmer, go fishing and stop bothering everyone with your incessant whining.

    2. Captain Aaron, the NYS Trooper, paid no fee to pass through North Dock. Captain Criss, the NYS Encon Officer paid nothing. Captain "Mike the Baker" a NYS Park Manager passed through "unfettered" without regard to
      cost.

      The problem is Landlubber's who want to go to North Dock don't want to allow people flowing through North Dock.

      P.S. who have you just accused of stealing power?

  3. The dog is mine. He has been promoted to a service dog. That is one of the "privileges" that attends having congestive heart failure. Roby appears to be more appreciative of what Verity is saying than either John Kane (the other dude in the photo), or myself. The only way to really tick Roby off is to mess with his ball. Other than that, he is very tolerant. I am ripping the photo off and putting it on my Facebook page immediately. It is priceless. :)

    1. Hey Steve Dunn - Was that you at a HPD meeting late last year requesting a stop sign on 2nd at Robinson? If so, can you please contact me at huston.bill@gmail.com, I have a question for you about the proposed sign.

    1. One hundred thirty-six years before statehood, free and easy, "unfettered" use was given to the stewards of New York's shore.

      Colarusso and Power Boat don't "own" city shore but the king can't touch them because they're doing the public's bidding, promoting navigation, just like NDTBA Inc. was doing when king William sent in the militia.

    2. The reason why council erred when the allowed Power Boat to fence off City shore. Only because they charge for use and can be sued.

      NDTBA Inc. paid the state franchise fee in 1995 when New York State changed laws that indemnify Not for profits so long as they do not charge.

      "The manager's primary legal agenda is to limit liability" ...unless river access is involved.

  5. Free and easy, unfettered local use of North Dock ended, ten years ago.

    Ask yourselves this; Rick Scaera had at his disposal a band of angels and could have done anything he wanted but instead chose to end the historic local use...Why would he? What has he accomplished but entropy and enmity?

    He should have added users. You don't need a swat team to promote the prescribed use of shore.
