Wilsey Square Project a ridiculous waste of other peoples money
This whole project seems to be designed around a $146,000 Federal grant that must include a bike lane. It is a ridiculous waste of other peoples money. Now we are spending $350K of the Village Taxpayers money and $146k of Federal Taxpayers money to create an unusable bike lane and choking a 4 lane road to 2 lanes which will result in all day traffic jams and create a safety issue regarding emergency vehicles.
The Village could have repaved the existing road for $150K.Just plain wasteful and stupid.
I beg to differ in only one respect: federal grants are NOT exclusively “other people’s money.” We paid, too!
Thinking of any grant as “free money” is one reason we are in such a mess.
#1 Agreed.
It is the left leaning takers vs. the right leaning makers.
Wonder if we ever got the $69,000 back from Rica at his June 6th hearing ? Has he been making his $2,000/week payments since then ?
If he hasn’t paid he should go straight to Jail.
