Oh those solar panels! There is no question that they are ugly and perhaps a more compact version can be found. I would presume that are being used to provide power for a single street light and the energy is being transferred elsewhere in the system. Since e PSEG charges the city for each light there is a question if electric generation is in conformity with zoning restrictions.
Perhaps the city could pas an ordinance taxing each solar panel, could be a source of revenue. The other question is, who owns the poles? Is it PSEG or Verizon? From newspaper articles it seems that the state has abolished municipality's right for a pole tax.
While we are on the subject of State and taxes, did you read that the present legislature is attempting to pass a bill that would grant a pay increase to school cafeteria workers. Nothing like finding ways to increase the burden on city tax payers.
How much truth is there to the rumor of Dashield's leaving? Will "Bibi" be his successor? On a "acting base" of course until Council approves. I am sure someone "will get back to us" later on this matter.
Both "Bo" and "JG" have postings today. Bo notes the fact that State aid will be minimal compared to town's desires. He hopes the city budget is niot predicated on that aid. JG notes in time to forget about Republicans and Democrats but work together for the community's benefit. However he is still rebutting campaign attacks and continues to berate Bo.
