LOL! That about sums up the area. Bummer about the prison though.
Small towns and big prisons are generally not a great mix. I assume
however that the prison helps fill the town's bank account, to lessen
the tax burden on the residents?



Oh, no....the town and village had to go after the residents to repair
and expand the sewage system. When I was growing up, everyone in the
whole valley had septic tanks and drainage fields or cesspools dug in
their yards. The pollution didn't start until Federal bureaucrats forced
them all to abandon what had been working since before the Revolution
just fine and spend billions on a "sewage system" so they could dump all
the **** into the lake inlet, directly. They forced, with their guns,
everyone in the village to "hook up" to the water and sewer system, using
the tax revenooer goons to enforce it, as usual.....

Noone knew the real reason for the deception, the damned state prison
fiasco. Glad I'm no longer there. Of course, all of upstate NY is part
of the "Rust Belt", now. Take Google Earth to Syracuse and have a look
around at the abandoned factories and ghettos. Look at the big open
sewer, where Solvay Process dumped its waste for decades. It looks like
New Jersey....from an Amtrak train.
