Yes. We should all give what we can and $1,000 in additional taxes is peanuts.

Mandryk, Mr., Mrs., or Ms.???

First I applaud you for not hiding behind a screen name. If everyone who posted their comments here were to do the same perhaps we would see a lot less childish posts and miss-information and everyone could engage in a useful conversation. Secondly I would like to ask you a couple of question concerning your position on the current uproar in the Lee fire district.

Would you explain to us what exactly would the outcome of your petition to remove the commissioners be should your petition drive be successful? Would it be the removal of the commissioners and the public sale of all they supposedly own or control. If it is true that the public sale would have to be held then wouldn't the town of Lee have to replace all that was sold with new equipment? Would that not result in a big increase in local fire district taxes? If this is so how can you tell people that your petition is in the best interest of the people of Lee?

Just for clarification the forum software for some reason has me located in Ithaca, NY..... Is this a moderator cloaking setup to attempt to hide the true location of a poster or is it something I messed up?

Any way I am a resident of the town of Lee and have been since 1958

For some reason you are not the only one to be located in Lee Center and have it come up as Ithaca, NY.

It appears that your silence has spoken for you and I can assume that your petition would have indeed been detrimental to the tax payers of Lee.

If by chance your agitating of the different factions within the town were to keep you front and center in your trolling for votes it seemed to have worked.:-)

So if you are the one who wears the pants in your house, Mr.Mandryk; According to the paper you feel it would acceptable to begin paying for the volunteer members' services. I appreciate their devotion, but one has to ask a few questions. First off, there already is a Benevolent Association,what is being done with that stock pile of donated and Bingo monies raised? The Board was asked for accountability and audited,how about the Incorpotated end of LCFD? Where does that money go? Mr.Mandryk how would you plan on setting up this payment to members. If I for one was a member years ago, could I still receive something-I devoted a lot of my time at fire scenes and Bingo on my Saturday nights instead of spending it with my family? Who would get this money. Could their name likely begin with "B"?
