You keep telling people to move. And you of course are willing to buy their house, right AND pay what may be owed on the mortgage plus the amount paid for remodeling that has been done, plus the interest paid on loans for remodeling, plus the money paid out in repairs, plus interest on loans in the event repairs were expensive and required financing ?
Guess you think it's perfectly OK that governments can tax homeowners so high that the value of their homes fall while giving the tax money out to millionaires in return for kickbacks but the taxpayers should just shut up and not complain. Guess it's perfectly OK that governments cut essential services to the taxpayers while giving out money to the rich, but the taxpayers are just supposed to shut up and not complain.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

I don't believe your last statement......many can't afford the high fee to sign up...have helped a few in the past to do that....
Larned is a crook and joins the rest of them....so a lot of the agenda is passed and the money goes here and there...but not to the original direction...
everyone benefits but the kids and the taxpayers......
you know....that old saying....these people like to fix what is not broken.....and screw things up royally....and probably illegally....who is to know..
my thoughts are the kids that can't afford it....and, there are always enough kids to play little league....always....it's just not promoted any more
and so it's a dead issue....end of story.
Believe it or not it's true. There have been numerous articles written on the subject. So many in fact that I'm not going to waste my time posting them. Do some research.

I don't know the details of all that, but I do know that after the 2013 season the two leagues combined, thus making the need for new fields unnecessary.
And the reason the leagues gave for consolidation was not enough kids were interested in playing baseball to have the 2 separate leagues.
but someone ran off with that money...not once but twice....that's soooooo fu(king priceless....I hope the county/town choke on the mall

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

For some in this Little League baseball-crazy town, news that the county had purchased land for Rotterdam to build baseball fields for its youngest ballplayers was a shocker.
Many people figured the protracted negotiations between the county and the owner of the property meant the deal was dead.
The revelation earlier this month that county officials had acquired 8.7 acres at 544 Burdeck St. for $260,000 has prompted at least one person to question the recent merger of the Rotterdam and Carman Little Leagues.
"We should not have merged; there was no reason for us to merge," said Jeff Cote, who resigned in protest from the executive board of the Rotterdam-Carman Little League on Jan. 9, the day the county trumpeted the land deal through a release to the media. "Carman and Rotterdam are like the Yankees and the Red Sox. It's always been like that."
Last week, County Attorney Chris Gardner conceded the land deal dragged on for longer than it should have.
"We had the contract for three years. It was just a matter of getting them to close on it," said Gardner.
Cote, who also serves as an assistant district administrator for Little League's District 12, claims he is mounting an effort for the two leagues to divorce.
"I don't want to be a part of this," he said during an interview last week.
Cote recalled a meeting sometime in late September or early October at which he and others expressed their frustration and displeasure to then-Rotterdam Little League president Matt Rash and other Rotterdam Little League leaders about the two leagues coming together.
"He took a beating for an hour and the meeting was over," said Cote.
Rash acknowledged the meeting took place, and said he didn't respond to the concerns and the screaming from Cote and others that day because league rules prohibited him from doing so.
"Unfortunately, that's what Little League tells me to do," he said of his silence. "During that same meeting, they said they thought that was the best thing for the town."
Still, Rash emphasized that Cote and others who may have been against the merger had every opportunity during monthly league meetings to express their views. He said they never spoke out against the move and that his records show that Cote only attended meetings in February and March in 2013.
"I don't know where Jeff is coming from," said Rash, who has had three children go through Rotterdam Little League and an 8-year-old son who may follow suit. "I'm not sure why he's upset over this stuff."
Rash said Rotterdam Little League joined forces with Carman out of survival.
He explained that Carman had playing fields during a time when all indications were that the land deal, which would have paved the way for Rotterdam to get its own baseball diamonds, had fallen through.
Additionally, the league would have been forced to pump a lot of money into the temporary fields on which they were playing to bring them up to snuff, added Rash. He also said Rotterdam stood to lose its best players if Carman Little League made the jump to the Cal Ripken Division, which Carman was talking about doing.
"We were trying to do what we could to keep the league alive and a place for the kids to play," Rash said, noting he has not heard anything negative about the merger except from Cote.
Rash said the executive board voted unanimously for the merger during their October membership meetings that only average about 20 people. Rash said he would provide a vote tally on the merger but never did.
was talking with a 'macy's person'.....they were 'thinking' of closing that store..... but the final decision came when the mall was behind on paying their national grid bill. then it was a no brainer for them and figured it would be a matter of time that the mall would meet it's death.
