RECERTIFY Pistol Permits Issued BEFORE Jan 15 2013

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- State police are reminding upstate New Yorkers with pistol permits of the upcoming deadline to recertify them.

Pistol permit holders have to recertify every five years, so that means anybody who was issued one before Jan. 15, 2013 must recertify by the end of January 2018. Those who fail to comply by the deadline will have their permits revoked.

Those who choose not to renew online can do so by mail. Paper forms are available at all state police stations and recertification is free.

As part of the recertification process, licensees must affirm they're not prohibited from possessing firearms under state and federal law.

Permit holders from New York City, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties are not required to recertify through this process.

BROOKFIELD – Two people are facing a long list of charges after a search in Brookfield led to the discovery of methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and a firearm, according to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.

Just before 5 a.m. Wednesday, Sheriff’s Office narcotics investigators and the Sheriff’s Office’s SWAT team executed a search warrant at 11385 Skaneateles Turnpike in Brookfield. Deputies say the search followed an investigation into alleged meth-making and drug sales at that location.

Deputies say a significant quantity of meth and cocaine were seized, along with 58 ounces of marijuana, a rifle and cash.

Kirk Nicholas, 53, of Brookfield, is charged with the following:

- Third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell (Felony)
- Fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (Felony)
- Two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (Misdemeanor)
- Third-degree unlawful manufacture of meth (Felony)
- Unlawful disposal meth lab material (Felony)
- Second-degree criminal possession of marijuana (Felony)
- Criminal possession precursors of meth (Felony)
- Criminal possession meth manufacturing materials (A Misdemeanor)
- Second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia (Misdemeanor)
- Fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon (Misdemeanor)

Kerry Spooner, 42, of Brookfield, is charged with the following:

- Third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell (Felony)
- Fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (Felony)
- Two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance (Misdemeanor)
- Third-degree unlawful manufacture of meth (Felony)
- Unlawful disposal meth lab material (Felony)
- Second-degree criminal possession of marijuana (Felony)
- Criminal possession precursors of meth (Felony)
- Criminal possession meth manufacturing materials (A Misdemeanor)
- Second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia (Misdemeanor)

Deputies say Nicholas and Spooner could be facing additional charges due to results from the New York State Police Crime Lab, as well as the weight of the methamphetamine and cocaine.

Nicholas and Spooner were arraigned in Morrisville court and sent to the Madison County Jail on $20,000 cash bail or $40,000 bond. They’re both due back in court at a later date.

ARMED Home Invasion in HAMILTON Spillway Rd???

This morning I just came across this unsettling "conversation" on the local website "NEXT DOOR HAMILTON".....

Police on Spillway Road...why?

Thursday at 4:00pm I was driving down Spillway Road and there were six State Trooper and one Hamilton police car parked in front of the red house across from the dam. Does any one know what happened?
Sandy White, Hamilton·21h ago

It was a robbery it was my son and the person had a gun so don't think it can't happen around here lock your doors but he broke in anyways....Everyone is ok which is what matters material things can be replaced but lives can't! ...No they don't have anyone yet have no idea who he was...Police and BCI have all the information."

The rest of the the "conversation" indicates no one was injured; no one identified and no other information other than "refer to BCI" 

Our HYPOCRITICAL Representative TENNEY Screws Upstate NY ....REMEMBER This one!!!

She's a BIG GIRL now with her OWN POLITICAL aspirations...she's a "PARTY (GOP)" Girl....screw the VOTERS

TENNEY has FINANCIAL DONORS to support. 

HYPOCRISY IN ACTION

Tenney Votes to Pass Comprehensive Tax Reform

Rep. Claudia Tenney

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) voted in favor of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, H.R. 1.

...here is her earlier POSITION....she has no back bone...took the REPUBLICAN PARTY over her Constituents:

“As I’ve said from day one, eliminating the federal deduction for state and local taxes will unfairly burden the over 3 million hardworking taxpayers in New York who claim the deduction. ...TENNEY."..LIAR

Currently, 30 percent of taxpayers nationwide, and 62,530 in the 22nd District, claim this deduction, making it one of the most widely used in the country.

".....The eight counties she represents have among the highest property tax rates as a percentage of home value in the nation, TENNEY noted, “because Albany’s crushing unfunded mandates continue to drive up the cost of living in our state. I have always put the taxpayers
ers I represent first and it is long past time for politicians in Albany to do the same." [ TENNEY - Rome Sentinel]

LETTER TO EDITOR EXPLAINS..."The bill would cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent and reduce taxes on wealthy business owners and the idle rich. 

The bill would also raise taxes on thousands of New York families through the elimination of the state and local tax deduction for non-property taxes, forcing many New Yorkers to be double-taxed and pay (federal) taxes on their (state) taxes.

Tenney has previously denounced Republican plans to eliminate the SALT deduction, but she has not yet indicated how she will vote on the bill.


According to her Federal Election Commission filings so far this year, Tenney’s re-election campaign has accepted over $200,000 from corporations that will benefit from the tax bill. The question for Tenney is simple: Will she side with her constituents and do everything in her power to defeat this tax hike? Or will she side with her corporate benefactors and support it? [ Letter to Editor, Oneida Dispatch:  Local constituents to demand Tenney vote no on GOP tax plan, Submitted by Kristina Andreotta]"...WE GOT HER ANSWER...

TAX BILL PROPOSAL - Will KILL RURAL AMERICA...

Good by RURAL AMERICA...we cannot afford to live here anymore....thanks, CONGRESS!!


But now, in small towns and thriving cities, in Republican- and Democratic-leaning states, local leaders are warning that the $1.5 trillion tax legislation moving through Congress threatens to undermine their ability to raise money for government services, including police and schools. 

The Republican measures would eliminate or severely curtail taxpayers’ ability to lower their federal tax bill by deducting the cost of their state and local taxes. Without that offset, local leaders say, taxpayers will begin to seek relief closer to home, potentially making it more difficult to provide basic services.  (Washington Post/ 11-18-17)

The House passed a tax bill. Can the Senate? (NYTimes 11-17)

Our Republican Representative Tenney voted to support the GOP House Bill ....and supported cutting deductions for state and local taxes. 

BEND OVER ONCE AGAIN AVERAGE AMERICAN !!  

After the Senate Finance Committee approved a tax bill yesterday, the full Senate is expected to consider it after Thanksgiving. But problems remain.

Among them: analyses that stubbornly find the biggest beneficiaries are corporations, not low-income Americans, many of whom could face tax increases within a few years, according to the NYT.

Then there’s the prospect of repealing the individual health insurance mandate. And then there’s reconciliation.

What else have people found in the tax overhaul?
• The Senate bill includes a break for private jets, lowering taxes on the payments made by their owners to the companies that manage them. (The Hill)
• The rollback of the estate tax would affect a very small set of wealthy Americans — about 0.2 percent of the 2.6 million people who died last year left estates large enough to qualify. (NYT)

RUMOR is asking ......

RUMOR is asking.....

1.  Is Salka pulling a HILLARY CLINTON ??.... using his personal email account for TOWN BUSINESS... Sound familiar?????  Government business on personal email systems ...also uses his  his personal FACEBOOK page to address TOWN BUSINESS.  We have a TOWN WEBSITE for government business!!!  TOWN BUSINESS belongs in the PUBLIC FORUM... not a "Friends & Family" FACEBOOK account!

2.  Why all of a sudden WATER PROBLEMS at Town Hall?  We didn't hear this before.  Where are the warning signs?  Has the water been TESTED? ...or is this another "reason" for wasting taxpayer money on a NEW TOWN HALL?  Keeping up with Hamilton??? Does that mean a new Town Garage as well? Understand you can't drink that water either.  Speaking of which....

3.  Who is on this TOWN HALL COMMITTEE?  WHEN do they meet? WHAT is their authority....or is this another one of Salka's  "Friends & Family"  Committees?

4.  FLICK's TAVERN... ??  Understand a sign has been put up to warn off trespassers....

3.  Financing:  In order to give the RICH these tax cuts, CONGRESS will increase the US Deficit to $1.2 TRILLION ($12,000,000,000 Dollars!....AND cut so-called "entitlement" programs such as healthcare, Medicaid, Social Security...that help the PEASANTS make it by...

4.  OUTCOME:  The peasants get TINKLED on....and here is an example that CONGRESS is PISSING ALL OVER US!

The Louis Vuitton toilet is the first-class way to poop

November 10, 2017

A toilet decorated in Louis Vuitton leather is turning heads in Los Angeles. From artist Illma Gore, the fully functional toilet was made with $15,000 worth of the designer French handbags. The shocking art piece is selling for $100,000 at online retailer Tradesy’s first brick-and-mortar store, located in Santa Monica.

HENKE, Local Historian - ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH

Check out this article from the Utica OD (link below) referencing local historian, Jack Henke's book on the Church's history.

NEW HARTFORD – The murals, stained glass, symbolism and artistry in Zion Lutheran Church holds the immutable sense of 175 years of German-American history.

A great amount of this history has been collected into a book by church historian Jack Henke. This, among other events, is how the church is celebrating its 175th anniversary.

BUDGET PROPOSAL - Bend Over Average Americans We're taking ANOTHER HIT FOR THE RICH!!!

BEND OVER Middle Class....

The POLITICIANS have decided to BALANCE the BUDGET on the backs of the little guy...BEND OVER ...the "new" AMERICA.....home of the GREEDY AND CORRUPT.  Wasn't it bad enough that they are taking away our health programs.... and we bend over and take it??! 

Thanks to Karen Nowak for this summary:

The elimination of the deduction for state & local taxes is going to hurt all of us in N.Y. & other "high tax" states.
Proposed tax plan 
1. Medical expense deduction for self employed removed;
2. Student loan interest exemption removed;
3. Eliminates the personal deduction;
4. Eliminates alternative minimum tax;
5. Eliminates mortgage interest deduction over $500k;
6. Eliminates deduction for state and local taxes;
7. Eliminates 15% credit for those 65 & older or on disability;
8. Caps property tax deduction @ $10k;
9. Eliminates adoption expense deduction;
10. $500 family "deduction" GOES AWAY after 5 years.
11. Adds $1.5 Trillion to deficit;
12. Cuts Medicare by $1/2 Trillion (elderly);
13. Cuts Medicaid by $1 Trillion (vets & disabled);
14. Eliminates the estate tax for the super rich;
15. Doubles the holding period for interest (benefits real estate developers, PEOPLE LIKE TRUMP).
16. Brings corporate rate down to 20% but CLOSES NO LOOPHOLES. GE pays zero taxes like many other corporations. They're cutting the tax rate and leaving ALL the same loopholes.

THIS IS NOT A TAX RELIEF PLAN FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS. THIS IS A CORPORATE TAX CUT PLAN, AND BENEFITS TRUMP DIRECTLY. Trump will gain upwards of $200,000,000 the first year.

In other words, it punishes people that work, the elderly, and the infirm and gives presents to the rich.
