Milan's Financial Wizard

By now you have all received your tax bills; not quite what you expected? If you remember, Milan’s Financial Wizard, Mr. Supervisor Talmage stated there would be an increase in your taxes by 3.5% to offset the Gang of Four’s squandering of your money.
He Lied as you have figured out by now; your town taxes have jumped by 5.8%. But then, a miscalculation at your expense is not unusual for Financial Wizard Talmage. He has not come up with a correct calculation of your finances in the three years since he took office. Did you know Milan has a finance committee? Did you know the Finance Committee consists on Financial Wizard Talmage and Councilwoman May. That would be funny if we were not the victims of their buffoonery.

Why is Talmage unable to produce a Financial Report in time for the monthly meetings as required by law? Does not the rest of the Gang of Four have an obligation to see that your finances are properly handled? Isn’t that the reason they were elected? Not so according to Defacto Supervisor Williams. According to him, their job is to create laws that will place greater restrictions on the citizens of Milan. At the January Town Board meeting, Williams had the nerve to try and outline their accomplishments for 2006. This consisted of 12 laws, some they passed others they tried to pass, and all with one purpose, to place more restrictions on Milaners

This is the Bunch that will want your support next November. Support Milan United where the truth is.

Thank you Milan United

Happy New Year. By now we all have had an opportunity to read the second installment on Milan’s literary master piece,”In Milan”. (Evidently Appraiser Bob is not the editor or might have appeared in musical form.) We got a windup of some of the happenings in the town during 2006; but not them all, just the headlines not the goof-ups. We won’t explore the shortcomings of the present administration; Milan United has already exposed their condescending contempt for the citizens of the town on their web.

It is interesting that in the course of 2006 the present board proposed passing 12 laws, each law attempting to strip away more and more of our freedom. The previous administration under Supervisor Jim Jeffreys did not passed 12 laws in 10 years and it is doubtful if during Tom Odak’s 27 years as town supervisor had passed 12 laws. In just 12 months, this bunch have tried to pass the most draconian laws with total disregard for the citizens of Milan.

In their publication they attempt to give the status of three of the laws that they failed to push through. 1/ The Rural Space Overlay; 2/ The Wetlands Law; 3/ The Vending of Refreshments Law. They are at present under further review which means there will be more legal fees. The producers of the newsletter failed to mention why these laws are subject to further review. They did not mention that the citizens of Milan strongly protested at the public hearings the passing of these laws. They did not mention the Milan United was instrumental in alerting the public to the detrimental nature of the laws. They also failed to thank Milan United for showing them the evil of their ways.

Thank you Milan United
