I don't anticipate being "on my way down" in the near future - but if I ever am I'm sure a friendly wave from you will make it all better. As far as Hudson is concerned, I am much more optimistic than you seem to be. With a new Administration and a new way of conducting the City's business, I am looking for many of the boondoggles of the recent years to be reversed and/or eliminated. I agree that the current situation is far from ideal. But this is a situation inherited from ten years of Scalera and his cronies wheeling and dealing in the back-room. It will take a while to set it right. It was the Scaleranetti Faction's strongest supporter, Eric Galloway, for instance, who evicted scores of tenants city-wide, and continues to keep many of his properties - that represented between fifty and one hundred housing units - vacant. The Tracy Administration and the Common Council have already shown that they have the will and the courage to stand up for what is right, for the law and for the people of Hudson. That's got to be a positive change. They are creating an open, responsive format of government for dealing with the City's problems and citizen concerns. That's a step in the right direction. I look at Hudson and see a city on the way up - in spite of many long-term problems that need to be addressed some of which - like the increasing property-tax buden - can't really be solved at the local level alone. But I hope that you and all the citizens will work together with the new administration to make the changes that will help lift Hudson to achieve its full potential. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
