I missed a couple of meetings in order to resolve some medical issues. I’m fine now and I hope that the town can resolve some if its political and financial issues. Here is a stab at it:

Once… Twice… Three Times… SOLD!
They said it would be sold on the court house steps. They were not exaggerating. Just not the front steps, the back ones. I had to see it with my own eyes. If you want to see what a foreclosure auction of a community center and library building looks like, take a look:
The story can now go on. And on. And on. You can follow the progress (or lack thereof) on the Town Board Meetings.
Town Board Meeting, December 20, 2012
It’s about the library again. George Whelan, president of the Bank of Millbrook, was one of those who came and spoke before the Board.

Town Board Meeting, September 20, 2012
This meeting, which lasted for over 2 hours, is presented unedited and was filmed with only one camera from a fixed position. It may be boring for some, but it is as objective a depiction of a public meeting as I could make it. It is the first in a pilot effort to make the town’s public meetings available to the community free and at any time on a website.
The Board meetings usually open with the pledge of allegiance, but this night the Board started in executive (closed) session. Additional information can be found at: http://pineplains-ny.gov.
