Journal:Kennedy Expansion Breaks Ground

Golden Dome

Get the shovels, get the cameras, and the ground breaking begins at Kennedy School. Everyone took advantage of camera and had their picture taken. The list is long so you will have to read the article to get the names. The kids watching the ceremony will be the recipients of this project.

We are the only school in the distict with a Golden Dome, upgrading the rest of the infrastructure is necessay. Lincoln and Sherman schools were underutilized and very inefficient. Consolidation of the schools system is a step in the right direction. The $57 million dollar project was approved by the district’s voters in October of 2010 and the ability to recoup the costs will be a long term investment.

Journal:Independence Party endorses Ritchie

Ritchie Endorsed by Independence and Republican Lines

It has started, the race for the 48th Senate seat is on. Senator Ritchie has secured the Republican and Independence Line and will be tough to beat this fall. She has held fast on raising our taxes and the budget is actually been cut and on time.

The two prior terms when the Democrats had control of the Senate there was over spending, and a circus act in every ring of the Senate. Democratic Senators were being expelled or censured for their illegal actions. Would Senator Parker terrorize someone on the Senate floor or maybe another break a bottle over their girlfriends face. What a farce that was.

Times have changed and the Senate has new leadership.

Journal:Senate passes property tax break, but Assembly won’t

Star Rebate Passes Senate, Assembly Refuse to Sponsor!

The Senate passed the Star Rebate checks bill but the NYS Assembly will not even sponsor it. Addie said there is no realistic way the bill will pass, well Addie, one way is sponsoring it and voting for it. NYS has achieved a number #1 ranking in taxes, fees, permits, and everything else they charge for. The Star Rebate checks amount to 213 million dollars which is about 0.2% of the budget but it makes a big impact on those just holding on to property in this state. Time for everyone to step-up and lookout for the tax payers.

Journal:Training now available for retired law enforcement officers

Jeanne-Pierre R. Plante, NRA Certified Firearms Instructor

Retired police officers and peace officers struggle to carry a firearm after they retire. The departments will not qualify them and there are few individuals that qualify as firearm instructors for recertification. The law passed by G. W. Bush, H.R. 218, also know n as the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, in 2004 enabling officers to carry across state lines. This included retired officers but with no means to qualify with their weapon they lost their ability to carry and conceal.  Jeanne-Pierre R. Plante, NRA instructor with current credentials is also offering basic steps in pistol orientation, basic pistol shooting, and basic personal protection in the home.
