Park Grant

West Monroe Residents: Daylight just exploded this week. The member grant has arrived and we can finally order the Park Playground. : ) Next step is to submit the vouchers to the State. Luckily the money was encumbered so the State Budget will not have an effect.

State Senator Ritchie

Horonable Senator Ritchie requested a meeting with the Town Executives and Local business owners. We accepted her request to have a meeting on Wednesday Feb 23 2011 at the town hall Feb 23 2011 Unfortunately, there was a scheduling error in her office and the meeting was postponed. I am very sure she will return and give us plenty of lead time for a more appropriate appearance and meeting

Finalizing the West Monroe 2011 town budget was an enormous challenge. The town, just as any business, requires a defined amount of money to operate efficiently. We actually trimmed the budget by reducing operating expenses. We have been assessed a 385% hike in retirement benefits from the state retirement fund. The majority of this challenge is born by the highway department as

Taxes and Government are out of control

2009-11-01T21:12:00.004-05:00

A little restraint is in order. I have no complaints about the DPW departments which I believe everyone is aware. The fire company comment was also out in left field, I have always commended volunteers on the time needed and spent with fire companies. I would have been a fireman had I not needed the time for my enterprises. I don't know anything at this point about the Fire company inner

West Monroe Blindsided

2009-10-22T23:02:00.002-04:00

Dear editor: We need to give power back to the people. Should governments create more rules without taxpayer’s approval? Granted we may need to refine a few of our regulations, but not at the cost of our collective property rights and our children’s future. We already have enough rules to make people find loopholes and even the cracks to slip through them. More regulations create

West Monroe Master plan clashes (Oswego County Weeklies) To the Editor: We respect the time spent on the West Monroe Master plan, but wasn't it meant to be a general plan for the future? As a town with rural land mass, recreational areas and business districts, each area has its own unique issues that have been looked at, but not into. The West Monroe Town Board paid $20,000 to a planner,

TAX DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN

2009-06-28T21:33:00.000-04:00

$20,000 spent on Master plan consultant! Drainage ditches cost labor,trucks and excavator. We already pay the labor, own the equipment but lack funds! Let's see, which is more important, a master plan which already exists or spring runoff flooding cellars and yards? Resolutions involve mutual agreement among all parties.

Tread Lightly Town of West Monroe

2009-06-13T19:13:00.001-04:00

West Monroe is in a state of expansion and development. We need help planning for the future. The Master Plan Committee has developed a specific plan for you. They have a diversified group but are requesting additional input. Their projected view of the town may not match yours. You’re welcome but not responding! Zoning is quietly wriggling itself into place. The master plan divides up the town

Master Plan needs help

2009-06-13T17:15:00.001-04:00

A Master Plan for West Monroe is being drafted. The current proposal for West Monroe designates the Rt 49 corridor as the only Commercial area. It cripples business expansion of the numerous small businesses’ that we are fortunate to have located throughout the town. Business owners won’t be able sell their business property unless they are zoned Commercial or are located on Rt 49. They won’t be

THANK YOU FOR VOTING

It appears that we have a winner, the election came off as very very tight race. The initial count was Messere 477 Ross 456. It amazes me how difficult it is to beat an incumbent especially in a Republican Town with a Republican County voter base. There were over 1000 voters, which is a very large turnout. We certainly appreciate your time and support. Randy Seaman received over 600 votes, he
