Letter: 'Remember the Reval' Says Writer

Fri, Oct 21, 2011

In a few short weeks we’ll have the opportunity to turn away from the catastrophic leadership of the Town of Hamilton town council by electing Scott Mills as Supervisor and Kerry Dart and Dave Holcomb to town council.

For those of us who pay taxes in this town, I say remember the reval! The team of incompetents that gave us that fiasco will be looking to pass off their legacy and perpetuate it under new management. The names will change; the arrogant mismanagement will go forward.

Times are hard, and require common sense to meet the challenges. Our town is too small to be used as a microcosm of the national debate. Our neighbors are our concern and taking control of the fiscal chaos brought upon us by the Kuiper council is paramount.

A dedication to sound principle is what Scott Mills will bring to the town. His record of service in and out of office stretches back a dozen years. His relationship with the board of Supervisors is excellent. His work ethic is obvious to anyone who’s ever tried to keep up with him. (No you will never have to ask if he’s awake at a meeting)His knowledge of the issues facing our Town, County and State is encyclopedic, and his dedication to the wise use of our tax money has been validated by his record and contrasted with the Keystone cops of our current council.

Our town has been placed in a fiscal hole. Were at a point where our taxes, driven higher by the reval, will have to go up another 30 to 40% to pay the debt we have been left. This is just the way it is. Your taxes are going up, and there is nothing we can do to stop that.

But we can stop the bleeding going forward by electing Scott Kerry and Dave on November 8th.

Don’t be fooled again Remember the Reval!

Ned Lamb, Hubbardsville
