Letter to the Editor: No on Yorktown Highway Garage

Dear Neighbor,

Why should Yorktown spend money on a new highway garage when we need critical repairs to our roads, drainage, bridges and town buildings?They said two years ago that a new garage would cost $400,000.

Now, the cost has ballooned to $4,800,000. Meanwhile, our Highway Superintendent says: “I am more than capable of operating out of our current highway garage.”

Supervisor Grace has not held even one community-wide meeting where taxpayers could ask questions. He says that the present garage site will become part of a beautiful new “downtown.”

What could be more foolish than building new offices across from an auto body shop close to parked garbage trucks and a school bus lot? Let’s renew what we have now before building more.

More than 2,000 Yorktown residents have already signed a petition in person and online to prevent this expensive mistake! Please sign the United Taxpayers of Yorktown online petition: Click on Change.org and type “yorktown” in the search box.

Join the taxpayers’ revolt. You can make a difference.

Regards,

Vishnu
