I received an email this morning from a LIBI member who shall remain anonymous for obvious reasons. He shared with me that the "due to the 'slow down' the Town of Brookhaven has apparently cancelled their Nov. 17th Planning Board meeting and is not sure about the Dec. 15th."
The LIBI member has applications that could and should be heard but the Town can't be bothered. This is a town that is hurting financially because its tax revenues are down. And yet they can't be bothered to meet. The LIBI member writes, "the Supervisor, Town Board, and Department heads could not possibly be any more cavalier about their role in exacerbating an already difficult climate." THe LIBI member could not be more spot on.
The LIBI member also informed me that he has been given the run-around by the Town of Smithtown. He is concerned that his contracts may elapse due to bureaucratic malaise. Again, egregious behavior on the part of local government officials at a time when every dollar is crucial to both the local economy and local municipalities.
LIBI will step up its efforts to draw attention to this completely unacceptable treatment of the building community. This nonsense has got to stop.

It never ceases to amaze me what happens in Brookhaven Town!
Maybe I missed the press release but they get a Federal Bailout?
Do they no longer need the tax revenues?
I hate to say how many times I have left the Town offices, asking myself why I build in this Town?
Are the Board Members getting a pay cut to reflect the two months off?
Then they could at least say they are saving money.
Do they forget that we pay their salaries?
Do they forget that they need homeowners to pay their taxes to pay their salaries?
Do they forget that we "the bad Guy" Builder generate revenues for the town that are needed?
And do they forget that many of us live here too?
