Special Town Board Meeting to call for public hearing on Local Law #8.
"To add a local law adopting Part A of Chapter 105 of the 2010 Retirement Incentive Program to provide eligible employees with one additional month of service credit for each year of service as of the date of retirement, with a cap of three years credit."
I'm not even sure this is a legal meeting on such short notice...but it appaears that Matt Martin may be having a change of heart.
I spoke with him at length regarding his position on the matter...a resolution that he voted against not once, but twice. He said that the Supervisor called the meeting...I asked him why they would suddenly have reason to believe that anyone would change their votes, the only reason they could have for trying this, again. He says he has reviewed the numbers again and that he has identified potential savings...I asked why our Comptroller doesn't see those non-existent savings...told him that savings are realized only when the positions are permanently eliminated, which never happens...and even if they were, it would be years before savings occur and those positions can always be re-created under different titles and carry higher salaries.
Martin assures me that he won't vote for any early retirement that is not cost effective...I told him it is not cost effective to shell out lump sums of money for time not worked only to turn around and fill those positions again, which we always have...and that Darlene Mullaly will be the first one in line to collect after less than nine months in Rotterdam masquerading as a "Confidential Secretary". He insists that there is no risk...I told him that the only way he could guarantee that was to leave the door to this blackhole closed...that to open it will leave taxpayers vulnerable to this scheme for the rest of the year.
Nicki DiLeva is fit to be tied...she and Gerard Parisi are considering boycotting the meeting...both insisting that they have made their positions clear right from the beginning and have no intention of changing their votes.
I expect to speak with Martin again tonight and will update you later...
Thanks gadfly! OPPS.....I forgot....I am gadfly.....or am I mertzie????
