Info on two proposed NY constitutional amendments that will appear on the November 7 ballot.
The first involves increasing the debt limit for small school district bonds from 5% of the school district's real property value, to 10%., which is the current limit for large school districts. The bill can be found here: legiscan.com/NY/text/S08803/2021![]()
The second involves another 10 year reauthorization of an debt limit exemption for the construction of municipal sewer facilities. This is a recurring amendment, past reauthorizations have been approved by the NY voters for six decades. ![]()
I hope our school districts inform us on the potential impact of raising the bond debt limit, for example the proposed capital projects and future effects on school taxes. Otherwise it's difficult for me to justify a YES vote. ![]()
The second proposed amendment seems to be a noncontroversial YES. But it's odd - why not just make the law permanent instead of asking voters to reauthorize it every 10 years?![]()
Both amendments were required to pass in two successive legislative sessions, and both passed almost unanimously. Our local representatives voted YES.

Letter to the Editor:
In 2021 there were 90,000 Americans living to the age of 100 !!, twice as many as there were 20 years ago. The oldest living American is a California born lady named Maria Branyas Morera, she turned 115 on January 9th!! The latest age forecast is that by the year 2060, there will be 500,000 100-year-olds in America!! Americans are living longer and healthier than ever before.
Those of you who are worried about President Biden, you can rest easy.

Last night's meeting was well attended and one of our best. An hour and a quarter and Trump's name was never mentioned.
That proves that we have more important things to do, focusing on local matters, instead of wasting time on his buffoonery.
