Comptroller assists municipalities comply with tax cap

Posted Jan 12, 2012 @ 04:58 PM

More than 70 percent of local governments reviewed by auditors had adopted budgets with a property tax levy that was within the allowable limit, while 5 percent exceeded the cap inappropriately, according to an analysis by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli’s office. In the last few weeks DiNapoli sent more than 200 auditors across the state to review the new budgets of 798 municipalities. See list of the governments that stayed within the cap (PDF).

In Livingston County, two municipalities overrode the proprty tax cap: Conesus Fire District and the town of Conesus. Several Steuben County governments properly overrode their property tax caps, including Atlanta-North Cohocton Fire District, Steuben County and the towns of Bath, Campbell, Canisteo, Cohocton, Greenwood, Hartsville, Hornby, Hornellsville, Jasper, Pulteney, Troupsburg, Tuscarora, Wayland and Wheeler.

Springwater Party Line: Groups setting event calendars for 2012

Posted Jan 12, 2012 @ 12:00 PM

The first week of 2012 has passed uneventfully except for a brief spate of sub-freezing temperatures that made many of us scramble for gloves and hats. The school buses are back to picking up the children, the new town council has installed all of its new members, made its necessary appointments and set the tone for what it hopes to achieve in the next year. The theme I hear over and over is common civility towards all and a real desire to leave no stone unturned to get our town once again functioning as a whole entity. For too long divisive topics have divided us; this new council seems intent on healing wounds and bringing people together.

Springwater Party Line: New year, new town council

Posted Jan 05, 2012 @ 12:00 PM

As 2011 is behind us, it is time to reflect on the old year and make a “wish list” for 2012. Reviewing the many columns that I wrote for 2011, there seems to be a repetitive request for people to wake up and take back our town by getting involved and becoming more pro-active at the Town Hall. A theme that finally played out when 46.8 percent of the electorate spoke in November and clearly mandated that they wanted to get back to basics.

Springwater Party Line: Holiday greetings spread across Springwater

Posted Dec 29, 2011 @ 12:00 PM

Katherine: By now everyone is doing their individual after-Christmas tradition. Mine is to write a long overdue after-Christmas letter. Family and friends have been very forgiving over the years and my mailbox continues to be full of greetings even though I have been lax. For this I am most appreciative. Hopefully everyone is looking forward to 2012 as a year filled with opportunities. By taking a look around you, every act of kindness that you do, helps you as well as the recipient.

Judy: Like Katherine, I too have been lax in acknowledging the many wonderful greetings received this season. Many members of my family and several of my friends will receive their greetings late. If I could just figure out how to put that 25th hour into each day, I might stay on top of my correspondence, but since that is not within my power, I am resolving to do better in the coming year. I do hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas filled with the blessings of friends and family.

Springwater Party Line: Voters choose fire district officials; SUNY students present marketing ideas for town

Updated Dec 22, 2011 @ 12:32 PM

This has been an extremely busy week in our town. Monday evening was the last regular town council meeting and while many people did not come out, it was still interesting. The council is attempting to get a moratorium passed on hydraulic fracturing in this area and it took some time for town attorney James Campbell to explain that there just is not enough case law yet in this field to rush into these decisions without going through the proper channels. The end-of-the year wrap up meeting is Wednesday, Dec. 28, at 7 p.m. and all are invited.
