A triple. But still, a no go. <br /><br />A note about programming: that was very much a part of the discussion at that time. In fact, the Washington Irving Center in Catskill was considered a great example to use, when crafting the on -paper basics of a center: board governance, funding streams, staffing and scheduling, and of course, programming. <br /><br />This argument that suddenly, right now, today (well, two days ago), decisions had to be made because Hudson's Seniors have been denied a place of their own for so long, well, that begs a very specific two-part question:<br /><br />Who denied the Seniors a Senior Center, and exactly why?Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-37418301736478905402015-08-20T10:01:14.400-04:002015-08-20T10:01:14.400-04:00i wish my tax increase from the school board was f...i wish my tax increase from the school board was for only two years. did everyone forget that, or are we using foreign currency to pay that one?michael lesawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283350595244628737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-81393247031583952672015-08-20T07:41:12.657-04:002015-08-20T07:41:12.657-04:00Taxpayers dollars are going to support a private e...Taxpayers dollars are going to support a private enterprise. <br /><br />The armory belongs to Galvan - not us the citizens of Hudson.<br /><br />Thats the issue.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-36245021786303777992015-08-19T18:45:10.878-04:002015-08-19T18:45:10.878-04:00Suitably Mayoral, Ms. Hamilton.
