| Town backing Sausville?
| Login/Join
|
It appears that the town is backing Paul Sausville for Supervisor. They have his sign on their property at the Shenantaha Park! I guess this is just a sign of what's to come on Political Day, oops, I mean Community Day.
|
|||
|
is everyone ok with all of this political bull***t at community day?
|
||||
|
 |
DO something about it.
|
|||
|
 |
There have also been a lot of Sausville signs within public road rights-of-way, particularly along Dunning and Route 9.
|
|||
|
I do agree, though I am not anti-Sausville or anti-Nolen. That sign on the truck on Dunning when you enter Luther Forest appears to be illegal. It should not say to vote for Sausville on "Election Day". You can only campaign for the "Primary" right now. It's up to Nolen to do something about it though, if she feels it's illegal. |
||||
|
 |
Is it really that big of a deal to dwell on ?
Aren't the issues the most important thing ? I don't care about people's signs - i care about their message. What does Nolen support that Sausville does not ? Where do they vary on issues ? |
|||

The issues have been brought up in several previous posts, particularly the issue of how development will progress within the Town, and the fact that Sausville's vision of how to develop Malta contradicts the Town's master plan as well as commonly accepted land use planning practices. Comrade Sausville wants sprawl, whereas Nolen wants to concentrate development in Malta to the downtown area, creating a central zone that is accessible by foot/bike to a majority of the residents of the Town. I believe someone else on this board also brought up the numerous ethics violations that Sausville has perpetrated including but not limited to community center expansion contractors and the Comrade Rockwell Intrapark Waterline..... |

Speaking about the Community Center - what an ugly building this turned out to be. It looks like an overgrown barn. Certainly doesn't add to the character of the town.
|

That's Sausville for you; wants to turn us back into a bunch of farmers..... |
|||
|
|

I most certainly do not want a rte 9 with 4-5 story buildings crowding the road - i don't want this "downtown" to look like a city....i would like to keep a more rural, open space feel to the town.
|

Well unfortunately development is going to happen, no matter what. It is allowed by law and cannot be preempted unless the Town buys all the undeveloped property in the town (or claims it by eminent domain) or all undeveloped parcels become protected from development in-perpetuity by conservation easements, transfer of development rights or restrictive covenants. So maintaining a rural feel is next to impossible in a municipality that is growing like Malta is. Is strip-mall development up and down Rte's 9 & 67 presenting a more rural appearance than a denser downtown? Not really. Malta would retain more of a rural feel if density is increaed in central nodes like a downtown. Otherwise, we get sprawl and become Clifton Park. Some people don't want Malta to be Clifton Park. Some people don't want Malta to be Saratoga Springs. Compare the two areas though. Nearly all of Clifton Park is developed because of sprawl, whereas the areas around the City of Saratoga Springs (like Greenfield, northern Malta, Saratoga, Day, Edinburgh, Galway) have all remained rural thanks to concentrating development in the City of Saratoga Springs.......

So the po-dunks - up to 20 miles away ..like Edinburgh, Day, Galway are all rural because of the concentrated development in the city of Saratoga ? You are a complete moron ...go back to your social servant job ...your dumbness makes me sick.

Planner, you beat me to the punch!! I agree with you 100%. While Mr. Sausville has said that he wants to maintain the rural character of the town, I cannot recall a single act that he has done which promotes his belief in this regard. I know for a fact that he has been presented with the idea of purchasing the development rights to a large parcel of agricultural land... and still he has done nothing with the offer! I don't want a leader that just says the same thing over and over (i.e., I want Malta to stay the same). I want him/her to roll their sleeves up and say, "okay we all agree that we want to preserve the quality of life for our town residents... and I have a plan to discuss with you about what I believe is the best way to do that." I do not believe that Mr. Sausville does that at all!! |

JP, once again you and I agree. I guess the brick look only applies to private industry in Malta (like the new CVS). The town was allowed to avoid building the new community center with bricks to keep costs down. Funny how the town can make private industry build with the more expensive look, while the community center is exempt from thos guidelines. If only we had someone to run against Paul. Where are those County Dems...ignoring Malta for another election season. Planner, you must be really out of it if you don't notice how the County Dems ignore Malta. (they have some type of deal with the Republicans which goes hand in hand with Republicans running against Southworh in B.S.). |

Here we go again.....Unholy from Mayapple with the 35 IQ responding to a logical argument with hate and unfunny comebacks....You are quite a sad person and I feel sorry for your unintelligence.... Greenfield and Saratoga abutt the City of Saratoga Springs and have little to no sprawl because smart businesses want to concentrate where the greatest number of people are likely to see them (i.e. the city). More people will see a business in "downtown" Malta than they would in the outskirts, which is why Malta Diner and the Shops of Malta have done better than say Curry Plaza and "Just for Trucks" (which were across from Malta Gardens)... Thanks Irish Law Girl for the props. I'm glad there are intelligent people like you and I with salient points on this board  |

DA, I continue to wonder what your fascination is with the "County Dem's"... The Democrats have put forth a candidate for the town board and, unlike some of the Republicans, have chosen to follow the letter of the law by not putting up signs 30 days BEFORE the election. The issues at hand are town-wide... not political squabbling. |
|||
|
|
|
DA - The Democrats make too much in their private sector jobs to take the pay cut and headache of running for Supervisor....only partly joking of course...in all reality, it is tough to run for supervisor unless you own your own business and have time to be Supervisor or be retired, which sums up both our current and former supervisors and Sue Nolen. The Malta Democratic Committee will receive funds from the County and when they do you will be the first to know. Also, more money should come once Cynthia Young wins a spot on the Town Board. |

I'm sick of words, lets fight. |

There isn't crap in Saratoga Springs. It's all food and high end. All the sprawl is at exit 15.
Am I missing something here. |
||||
|
|
|
Borders, the stadium, starbucks, eddie bauer, the gap, circus cafe? Those are high end stores to you? I have a bridge I'd like to sell you if you're interested... There is plenty to do in Saratoga. The track, the racing hall of fame, congress park, laser tag, bowling, the state park and the tang museum. Lots of stuff to do within walking distance.
You prove the point of good planning. Wilton is sprawly and Saratoga is compact/dense. Two good examples of the opposite ends of the spectrum. Wilton and Saratoga Springs provide the same amenities but in different packages... |
