Comments on: Dissolve Nyack and Save Millions, Feiner says http://www.nyacknewsandviews.com/2008/07/taxes/ Community news and opinion for Nyack, NY Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:25:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: dave@NyackNewsAndViews.com http://www.nyacknewsandviews.com/2008/07/taxes/comment-page-1/#comment-66 dave@NyackNewsAndViews.com Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:38:29 +0000 http://www.nyacknewsandviews.com/?p=200#comment-66 There's no questioning Irv's passion and knowledge on the subject of taxes. But eliminating Nyack as an governmental entity seems like a hard sell. Wouldn't it make more sense to merge the Nyacks (Upper/South + Nyack) into a single village? And secede from Orangetown? Don't these villages have more in common with each other than the rest of Orangetown? And, if the math works out, the $1.9 million in predicted savings is a little bit more than the $1.3 million I recall that Nyack collects in parking fees and fines. The savings could be used to reduce parking fees which would 1) make businesses happy, 2) make South/Upper residents happy and 3) make the deal easier to sell. Just a thought...
