To the Editor:
The bridge cost figures outlined by Town Supervisor Mr. Hasenauer’s campaign ad in last week’s August 22, 2013 Weekly Adirondack are incorrect. Also the railing mentioned as “left out of the contract” was not mistakenly omitted from the design package, but rather not included per the direction given by the Town.
The Town voted for us to proceed with replacing the bridges. It has been our goal to complete the bridges in a timely fashion and at the least cost to our community tax payers as possible.
Keeping the costs down is important to you all. We have already been able to get the first year bond note at a substantially lower interest cost, and therefore reduced the cost to you.
It is election time, and we hope our political candidates and Town Members up for re-election will let the bridges rest, and will redirect their energy to the future and telling people what they would like to do/accomplish for our great town…if elected.
Thank You.
