Matt,

I didn't hear that, but it is some interesting information. I will surely be looking into this. If you hear anything else keep me informed!

Mr. O

Companion Planting , Something every gardener should know!

Have you ever wondered which plants grow best together? Did you know that planting certain types of herbs in your garden will help certain veggies produce larger yields? There are even plants to repel mosquitoes. If this sounds interesting, well, it is! Here is a list provided by EAP publications.

Hello,

I am new to the Internet and just started using a computer not to long ago. I stumbled upon your website and think it is such a wonderful idea. Our community needs more projects like this one!  have been searching for weeks and so far, even though you have more things to add, I can say it is by far the best information website Plattsburgh has going on. I can never easily find certain businesses in town and now you have provided me with a place I know I can always come to find what I need. I also have to tell you that the radio station you have put together is refreshing. I am a true believer that change, well certain changes are good! This change is a step in the right direction for Plattsburgh. I am enjoying many types of music you are playing. I would like to wish whoever you are the best of luck and thank you for providing a new outlet for the community! I will be visiting and listening often.

What a beautiful weekend! I had decided to go to Burlington for the day. I drive up to the ferry pay booth and for my tiny car with two people it cost me $24.50 round trip. That's a whole tank of gas... I was quite irritated but didn't let the fact that this was a total rip-off ruin the beautiful day.

I have decided to never take the ferry again until a bridge is built. That's a sure pipe-dream! Just think of all the possibilities a bridge crossing could have. They are endless..

The drive is not much longer up to the Champlain bridge and I will save some money, but not time. The ride is nice anyway.

What would be neat is: If we had a walk on, high speed transportation boat between Plattsburgh and Burlington. Plattsburgh could use business and I think it's a great idea. What do you think?

Taxes were on the forefront of many Americans’ minds this week as they scrambled to meet the April 15^th deadline to file their returns.  Tax policy in this country hurts taxpayers twice – once when they pay taxes, and then when the government spends the money.  Americans are sick and tired of the financial burden and the endless forms to fill out.  To add insult to injury, after collecting this money the government does some very detrimental things to the economy.

The burden of complying with the income tax is tremendous.  Since its inception in 1913, the tax code has gone from 400 pages to over 67,000.  The Tax Foundation estimates that around $265 billion dollars and 6 billion hours are spent just on compliance.  That expense amounts to about 22 cents of every dollar the IRS collects.  Imagine the boon to the economy if we spent that time and money expanding our businesses and creating jobs!

Aside from the direct loss of money and productivity, the funds from the income tax enable the government to do some very destructive things, such as vastly over-regulating economic activity, making it difficult to earn money in the first place.  The federal government funds over 50 agencies, departments and commissions that formulate rules and regulations.  These bureaucracies operate with little to no oversight from the people or Congress and generate around 4,000 new rules every year and operate at a cost of about 40 billion dollars. There are some 75,000 pages of regulations in the Federal Register that Americans are expected to know and abide by.  Complying with these governmental regulations costs American businesses more than one trillion dollars per year, according to a study by Mark Crain for the Small Business Administration.  This complicated system drives production to other countries and shrinks our job market here at home.

Big government is destructive when it takes your money and when it spends it.   There is no economic benefit to supporting a government sector as massive as ours.  In fact, this country thrived for well over 100 years without an income tax.  Today, if you took away the income tax, the government would still have revenue from other sources equal to total government spending in 1990, when government was still too big.  $1.2 trillion should be more than enough to fund a government operating within its constitutional confines, and that is exactly what we need to get back to.

I have introduced legislation many times to abolish the IRS and the income tax.  It is fundamentally un-American to require taxpayers to testify against themselves and be considered guilty until proven innocent.  Abolishing the IRS altogether would trigger an avalanche of real growth in the economy.

With these financial hard times only just beginning, this would be the most efficient and logical way to get our economy growing again, and Americans would need not dread the 15^th of April every year.

I must say that after several years living in this city, the worst intersection when it comes to drivers not obeying the traffic signals is Broad, Rt.9 and Hamilton. I fib you not, Almost everyday I come close to getting hit by reckless drivers. These dangerous drivers make a right on red from Broad Street onto Route 9S by Geoffrey's Pub. Just tonight, at about 5pm, April 11th I almost got smashed up. I had enough. I always wait and pull out very slowly and watch cautiously as I proceed to make my left turn from Hamilton St. onto Rt. 9S. This jack-in-the-Box today ignored HIS RED LIGHT and my GREEN light. God forbid one of these idiot drivers hurts anyone or any children at this horrific intersection during highly traveled times of the day.

I feel our city needs to assess the dangers of this intersection. A possible idea, put a NO RIGHT ON RED sign! Hey maybe even more of a police presence during these highly traveled hours.
