Douglas Outdoor? Does this have anything to do with Doug Barkley’s family? If it does is this ethical to receive funds from the state? Just wondering…
How about submitting the consent decree back onto the state since Cuomo has so much money(our monies) to throw around instead of leaving it on the backs of a select few hardworking taxpayers here? It’s unrealistic to think the working populace here in Oswego can continue affording this disaster even at the levels it was at several years ago! I’ve already informed Barclay about this injustice but I can guarantee once a fee goes up it will NEVER go back down to a tolerable level! The local government is mum about this because they plan on raising it drastically over the next few years; people will wake up then when they can’t buy a crumb of food!….and never mind Christmas presents just like the most recent bill left funds for them non-existent for most around here, at least the kids still believe in Santa so I’ll blame him for nothing under the tree.
Joe, I was wondering the same thing and it appears they already have a $317,927 manufacturing facility at the Oswego County Industrial Park in Phoenix.
