Subject: Your endorsement of DCC to be it’s own lead agency.

Dear Assemblyman Miller,

I just wanted to let you know that your deeds do not go unnoticed.

In the past I would be one of the first to thank you for your support of our dilemma in Fairview.

Now I want to be one of the first to tell you that your latest non-support of Fairview in supporting DCC being their own lead agency for their residence halls project has left me speechless, saddened, dismayed and frustrated with your actions.

Your most recent action in supporting DCC to be its own lead agency is just another feather in the cap of those who seek to dissolve the Fairview Fire District. The same holds true for the Fairview Fire District Board of Fire Commissioners, if they should accept any agreement with DCC for remuneration to mitigate the negative impact the Residence Halls will have on the life safety of Fairview Firefighters and the residents they are sworn to protect. Unless, of course, such remuneration is equal to and not less than, what DCC would pay if they were a taxpaying entity which would be a far cry from the meagher $75,000 they originally offered and is now null and void.

While Dr. Conklin trashes support of the college from the community, his faculty and staff, you are right there to back him up. This is truly an outrage.

It’s time to put public life safety, the community and taxpaying constitutents FIRST above political interests. If you have any intention of saving any face at all in the community you were elected to serve, your strong support for this Assembly Bill and bringing whatever weight you may hold to strongly encourage its passage in both houses in Albany with all haste would be most pertinent.

Who will save us Assemblyman Miller while we constantly watch our homes decreasing in value, our taxes rising, our limited incomes taxed further to death by Governor Patterson with Albany’s latest round of new taxes (including but not limited to the MTA Tax) and our professional firefighters stretched beyond the limit. Will they be able to serve us when we need them or will they be too busy servicing those who receive free rides at our expense with their ever expanding tax-free campuses.

Some letters from the Residents. It seems when Fire gets HOT enough for the Political Politicians, actions arise. We’ll see, but this Legislator isn’t waiting for them. I only have another 25 years left, this must get DONE now !!!
