Rough Justice or a Double Screwing?

So Woodbury asked Albany for special legislation to ease the burden of having a village and Albany said -"Tough, you guys wanted a village. Now live with it!"

That response, while blunt and unfriendly, seems like rough justice. "You made your bed, now go lay in it."

Unless.

Unless.

Unless, the main player behind the scenes in Albany, getting the Legislature to tell us to f*** off was our pal Senator Bill Larkin.

Unless, Uncle Billy was getting us the heave ho at the request of his pals Szegedin and Weider.

Then we would have two questions for dear Uncle Billy.

1. Why do you pretend to be our pal, but screw us whenever Szegedin tells you to?

and

2. If all this is our fault because we chose to create a village - how much of that blame are you willing to put on your aide Ralph Caruso - the man who got us into this mess to begin with?

But -But - the state senate voted to give us that legislation. So, perhaps it wasn't Uncle Billy who did us in.

Perhaps our pals next door just passed along their wish list to the New York City delegation and we got screwed that way.

Some many questions. So few answers. I have a headache.

Lotsa talk, no action.

Start carrying a petition to disolve the village if you don't want it!

And as far as Larkin is concerned, he knew it would not get passed the assembly because of the NYC contingent.

Speaking of Larkin, did anyone hear the WTBQ radio show today? A woman who is associated with the water park project (remember this in Woodbury) actually said that Senator Larkin is involved in getting this project passed!!! (in Goshen village, where it is now being talked about)

What is a State Senator doing interfering in a local planning board issue? What is that term that means a government official is sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong?
