More Negative Income Properties Arriving In Milford

Nothing threatens schools and education more than Negative Income Properties. NIP's unlike financially irresponsible politicians cannot be voted out of office on election day. NIP's consume more taxes and tax dollars than can ever be reasonably recouped by taxation. The following note that arrived to me today has all the hallmarks of a classic tax burden to the people of Milford. The e-mail reads as follows:

"The appeal to prevent the development of apartments on Prospect St. has failed after 4 years in court. The current owners have posted a Notice of Demolition on 25 Prospect St., the little brown house, after 4 years of neglect. It appears the developer will build their first proposal of 3 apartment buildings with minimum setbacks against the cemetery property and the railroad property. 84 apartments. 97 cars. "

This type of development will result in new Milford residents that will potentially have one or more kids in our schools. The cost of educating those kids $12,500.00 each... the taxes they pay perhaps 4, or $5,000.00 per unit creating an additional tax burden on the people of Milford, and the kids we need to educate here. Truly sad and tragic.

Rosa Delauro Takes $200,000 Flight

Amid these difficult times, and under the powerful congressional scrutiny of Americas ailing industry, our Congresswoman Rosa Delauro boarded a taxpayer airplane for Italy. This plane, a U.S. government charter plane contained a contingent of house Democrats, who according to Lou Dobbs were visiting museums and enjoying what amounts to an expensive vacation in Italy.

As the United States is faced with its most challenging economic period since the Great Depression, and wealthy Auto executives are being chastised over the use of corporate jets on short domestic flights, Rosa Delauro and gang are going to Italy. The plane they took costs about $10,000.00 per hour to operate. The flight to Italy a 20 hour flight. The first 200 grand is just the opener because the Democrats still have time left to submit the rest of their bill to the taxpayers.

This disgraceful trip is now center stage news and has served to rightfully humiliate Rosa Delauro and her Democrat "buddies". My view on this besides its massive carbon pollution...speechless...with leaders like Delauro it's no wonder the country is in a ditch.
