Recently, the question of the sales tax agreement between the city of Fulton and the county of Oswego was questioned in a committee. It started as a question and has blown up into this movement to re-arrange or cancel this agreement. I cannot begin to explain how this discussion went from questions to the misrepresentation of now the County Legislative body is going to revoke the sales tax agreement with the city of Fulton.
I would like to thank former Mayor of Fulton Daryl Hayden and former Common Councilor Bob Weston for taking time to come to the meeting and defend the City of Fulton’s Sales tax allotment. Former Mayor Hayden did a fine job explaining how the original sales tax allotment deal was created in good faith between the city and county leaders in 2006.
I promised to tell you what the dialogue was like at the Infrastructure committee meeting. Well I’m going to give them to you now. I’m going to go from Worst to Least order. In the meeting after I had given my speech about how all I was asking for was to have the Chairman distribute the information I had given him and have the Rental Fee voted on again by the Full Legislative body. Win lose or Draw. Just vote again only this time with the full understanding of what we are voting on.
In the July Infrastructure committee meeting you will recall I asked for discussion about the county’s rental fee of county highway department equipment. No surprise to many of you was the fact that of the legislators in attendance three of them that are in a contested re-election race didn’t say a word in favor or against the rental fee.
“Ask and you shall receive.” An old saying; but what you receive isn’t always what you want. If some of you remember from a recent letter in the media, I asked the Chairman of the Legislature to have the County Rental Fee of County Highway Equipment be revisited by the full legislative body.
In light of myself and Legislator Farfaglia asking to have the highway rental fee revisited, I again reached out to some of our fellow NYSAC members to find out what their policies were.
