RUTLAND Ñ The Vermont Commission on Women (VCW) voted March 20 to oppose the current proposal establishing new time limits to Reach Up benefits funded by taxpayers. The VCW, a non-partisan state agency dedicated to legislative, economic, social, and political fairness, heard from all sides of this issue, carefully weighed the matter, and deliberated before taking this position. VCW Executive Director Cary Brown said the organization is aware that the overwhelming majority of Vermont households receiving this cash assistance are women, and limits to this program will disproportionately affect femaleheaded families with children. A number of facts lead the VCW to this conclusion, Brown said. Ò The lives of these families are complex. They often include challenges, such as lack of transportation, education and child care; mental health concerns; care of a child with a disability; or trauma from having survived domestic violence.Ó Brown said, Ò These are VermontÕ s most fragile and vulnerable families. The Commission believes that budgetary concerns should not be balanced on the backs of those least likely to be able to function without government assistance.Ó

Look who just voted to raise taxes The price of free speech
F
or those folks who werenÕ t paying close attention March 27, House Bill 528 was passed in the Vermont State House of Representatives by a vote of 85-55. This editor applauds those legislators who bravely voted Ò no.Ó While it may have been a lost cause this time, the losers in the voting will prove to be on the winning side in the long run. For all the talk about Ò sustainabilityÓ in Vermont, itÕ s clear that MontpelierÕ s spending binge cannot be sustained much more into the near future. Just in the past week, weÕ ve already heard about an Addison County-based business that may be moving its operation out of state. Why? Probably because of the tax mess. Last week, the Ethan Allen Institute, VermontÕ s only common sense, libertarian policy group, sent around some very useful material for editors to digest about Bill 528; this included a summary of the bill. But it was up to editors to determine what all the votes meant. For some of us who work for a living, and pick up a lot of the tab here in Vermont, knowing who voted Ò yesÓ and who voted Ò noÓ is real gold. This information will be our guide for the next election. At least in the district where I vote, who gets my support next time around has already been determined by their March 27 vote. (You might consider the same.) MontpelierÕ s new tax bill proposes to make big changes Ò to income tax, sales and use tax, meals and rooms tax, cigarette taxes, property tax, fuel gross receipts tax, and provider taxes,Ó according to the Ethan Allen Institute. One useful tool for the high-information voter to use, and one we rarely see reported in the news media for obvious reasons, is the whoÕ s who in the Montpelier voting roll call. There are certain legislators who love the fact that these voting roll calls rarely pass by gaze of low-information voters. But since Bill 528 is such a momentous, sweeping thing, we thought it only right for this newspaper to publish the list of who voted for, and against, raising your taxes. ItÕ s just as simple as that. State representatives who voted Ò yesÓ on March 27 voted to raise your taxes in these ways: they voted to expand the state sales tax (6 percent) to bottled water, clothing, including shoes, over $110, candy, soft drinks, and dietary supplements, and to increase the tax on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco by 50 cents (total: $3.12), and $0.88 (total: $3.12) respectively. They also voted to increase the stateÕ s Rooms & Meals tax from 9 percent to 9.5 percent for 2014, and they voted to apply the Meals tax to food
sold out of vending machines, too. These same House members also voted to cap all itemized tax deductions at 2.5 times standard deduction, eliminated VermontÕ s 8.8 percent tax bracket, moving those earning $178,651 and more into the top 8.95 percent tax bracket, formerly reserved for those earning $388,351 and above. With the kind cooperation of the Vermont State House Journal, we print the names and districts of the Ò Yeas and NaysÓ on the March 27 Bill 528 vote. The results was Yeas, 85. Nays, 55. There were 31 vote explanations recorded in the Journal, but that doesnÕ t matter much to us. All that matters to us are the votes.

T
his country, once called the melting pot of the world, was known for taking in immigrants from all corners of the Earth and merging their cultures into ours to create a patchwork democracy. Melting pot is a term you donÕ t hear used much anymore, but more than any other nation, the term still applies to the U.S. today. Sadly, it didnÕ t happen overnight, but over a period of time through strife and turmoil America grew to be known as the land of opportunity where freedom reined and personal beliefs were to be respected. Anyone had a shot to make it if they had fearless perseverance, conviction of beliefs and a willingness to work hard. Throughout our history, weÕ ve many examples of individuals that changed the course of the nation as a result of their willingness to stand up and be counted, many times going against popular opinion. One would think that we would have learned from mistakes of the past. One would hope that only through constructive and open discussion of the issues, we could as a nation address the issues of the day in a manner that intelligently seeks to resolve any differences and reach a common ground. TodayÕ s hot button topics are many: immigration, gun control, same sex marriage, health care, war, religion, energy, the economy, womenÕ s rights, education, environment, unions and big business. But there are many more. It would be nice to think in this great communication age that tolerance and respect for the right to express oneÕ s personal views would be paramount. But instead of encouraging open debate and discussion, weÕ ve continued down a prejudicial path. When all else fails, we resort to demonizing the messenger. I can understand a certain amount of trash talk among friends discussing sports, truck brands or burger choices, but on important issues in our nationÕ s most prestigious schools I would hope those institutions would be open minded and inquisitive. Dr. Benjamin Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon who came into the national spotlight in February after criticizing health care and other policies of President Barack Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast, has been asked to step down as the commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine only after making recent comments

on same sex marriage. His comments were based on his personal beliefs. Carson stated, Ò My Dan Alexander thoughts are Thoughts from that marriage Behind the Pressline is between a man and a woman. ItÕ s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality Ñ it doesnÕ t matter what they are — they don’t get to change the definition.Ó One of the petitions stated: Ò We retain the highest respect for Dr. CarsonÕ s achievements and value his right to publicly voice political views. Nevertheless, we feel that these expressed values are incongruous with the values of Johns Hopkins and deeply offensive to a large proportion of our student body.Ó In his public apology in the Baltimore Sun, Carson stated, Ò First of all, I certainly believe gay people should have all the rights that anybody else has. What I was basically saying is that as far as marriage is concerned, that has traditionally been between a man and a woman and nobody should be able to change that.Ó With respect to the commencement, he said, Ò I would say this is their day, and the last thing I would want to do is rain on their parade.Ó As a nation we must be open to tolerance and trying to understand both sides of the issues to reach a compromise. Each side of every issue has valid arguments, but if neither side is willing to acknowledge and address those arguments, we will only prolong the anguish, anger and divisiveness these issues create in our democratic society. The world will always be full of people with different views. As a human race, we apparently still have a long way to go in learning how to constructively deal with our differences and provide true freedom of speech.

Middlebury Board supports funding for affordable housing Middlebury Select Board MIDDLEBURY Ñ After a public hearing, the Middlebury Select Board endorsed a resolution supporting the Addison County Community Trust and Housing VermontÕ s application to the Vermont Community Development Program for funding to redevelop the affordable housing at 31-37 N. Pleasant St. and John Graham Court. The project consists of the rehab and energy-retrofit of three historic buildings, and the demolition and redevelopment of eight new apartment units in two buildings, which has been approved by the Middlebury Development Review Board. The grant application will be for $460,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding, which will be passed through the town and loaned to the project at 0 percent interest for 30 years. If funded and all goes well with design and permitting for the project, construction could start as soon as late fall this year. Cobble Road: Cobble Road is between Route 116 and Munger Street, on the northern border of Middlebury, and runs through the Towns of Bristol, New Haven and Middlebury. The agreement approved by the Board formalizes the maintenance agreement between the towns of New Haven and Middlebury for maintenance of Cobble Road, providing for winter maintenance by New Haven, summer maintenance by Middlebury and the cost of capital improvements and dust control split equally by the towns.
Parks & Recreation: The on-line registration software will be purchased from Vermont Systems Inc. for $14,172 and will be financed over a three-year period, with no interest charged. The first year cost of the software and training, $6,884, will be offset by savings from the six-month vacancy in the Parks & Recreation Director position. The goal is to have the on-line registration option up and running in time for registration for summer programs. Agrimark/Cabot: Agrimark/Cabot representatives Bob Foster and Tim Opper outlined AgrimarkÕ s request to increase AgrimarkÕ s local wastewater discharge permit from 350,000 gallons per day to 450,000 gallons per day as the plant is currently bumping up against the 350,000 limit set more than 20 years ago. Next steps in reviewing the Agrimark request will include a technical review of the request by the townÕ s engineer, director of Operations and Wastewater Treatment Superintendent, and the legal review of the Agrimark/ CabotÕ s Sewer Usage Agreement with the town and revision of the agreement, if necessary.

A rough estimate of the cost of bringing the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems up to a contemporary standard is approximately $525,000, including engineering and architectural services, Nick said. The next step in the evaluation of the gym will be to retain the services of a construction

MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Middlebury College Department of Theatre and Dance will present Ò Undressing Cinderella,Ó the inaugural Middlebury New Play Festival, on April 10-13. Playwrights around the country were asked to turn the classic fairy tale inside out, using any character other than Cinderella as the main focus. Fourteen of the best submissions were selected for inclusion in the festival, grouped into two dynamic evenings of theatre, presented in alternation. Visiting Assistant Professor and alumnus Andrew Smith Õ 97.5 provided the creative impetus behind the New Play Festival, serving as Artistic Director. Ò Cinderella a fairy tale with roots in 47 different countries around the world, each with its own version of the beautiful serving-girl whose lost shoe is the only clue to her actual identity,Ó he notes. Through Ò Undressing Cinderella,Ó Smith and his company explore this universality, discovering which elements shine through, and which new ideas emerge. Smith sent the call for scripts to every playwriting organization and graduate program in the U.S., challenging playwrights with this prompt: Ò Write a play inspired by the fairy-tale Cinderella using any character other than Cinderella as the main focus. Connection to the original tale need not be literal and the play may be set anytime, anywhere.Ó The resulting 101 submissions hailed from 25 states and six countries, including Italy, Australia, Poland, Russia, France, and the U.S. A reading team of five faculty, staff, and students selected the final 14 plays for inclusion in the festival. Five alumni playwrights and one current student play-

11 things to know about health care ‘reform’ Guest Viewpoint By John McClaughry
Gov. Peter Shumlin signed Act 48 into law in 2011, and Act 171 in 2012. Together they promise the achievement of the longtime liberal goal of a “universal and unified health system”, that is, a government-controlled health system rationally designed, managed, and enforced by five government experts titled the Green Mountain Care Board. The governorÕ s target date for launching the single-payer health system is 2017. Here are eleven questions a citizen might want answered about the approaching single payer revolution. 1. Has Vermont sought outside expertise to create this universal system? After the legislature spent half a million dollars on two earlier studies, the Shumlin Administration paid $300,000 to the University of Massachusetts to explain the needed amounts and mechanisms to finance Green Mountain Care,
and the impacts of various tax increases on taxpayers, businesses, and the economy. 2. So how did they recommend that Green Mountain Care be financed? We may never know, because two months before the reportÕ s due date (January 15, 2013) the Shumlin Administration told UMass to withhold any recommendations on how Vermont taxpayers could be made to produce the $1.6 billion a year Ð three times the stateÕ s income tax collections! - needed to make Green Mountain Care viable. Gov. Shumlin now says the public doesnÕ t need to know those details until, most likely, after the 2014 election. 3. Will every Vermonter be included in this new system when implemented? Ideally yes, but actually no. Medicare and Veterans Administration health care, plus the coverage of federal employees in Vermont, will remain under Federal control. Over 100,000 employees of larger businesses with self-insured health plans canÕ t be forced into Green Mountain Care, per federal law (ERISA). So the Ò single payerÓ plan will be very far from

Ò universalÓ , and the vast Ò savingsÓ predicted from having only one payer Ð state government Ð largely disappears. 4. What is the Health Benefits Exchange? The Obama Affordable Care Act of 2010 pays participating states to establish insurance exchanges where households and businesses can go to purchase government- approved coverage. Alone among the fifty states, Vermont mandates that all individuals and all businesses with 1-50 employees must buy only through the Exchange. Businesses with 51-100 employees will be mandated in by 2016. The Obama administration has paid the state of Vermont at least $126 million to create this Exchange. (This is not a misprint). 5. WhatÕ s the incentive to purchase through the Exchange? An approved Exchange offers Federal income tax credits to defray the expense of the premiums. Gov. Shumlin wants as many lives as possible to receive tax credits through the Exchange, so in 2017 he can get the Federal government to cash out the tax credits and write the state a big check to help finance Green Mountain Care. In fact, the state is aggressively encouraging employers to drop coverage, pay a federal penalty, and send their employees off to the Exchange, to increase the tax credit total. 6. What if those employees donÕ t have enough money to pay the higher cost premiums of the policies in the Exchange, even with the Federal tax credit? TheyÕ ll become uninsured. 7. If the Exchange isnÕ t functional by October 1, and individuals and small businesses are forbidden to purchase insurance outside the Exchange, what will become of their health coverage? When their current contracts expire, they will
be uninsured, unless the legislature repeals the mandate requirement in time. 8. What will become of the Exchange in 2017, when single payer Green Mountain Care springs to life? Under Green Mountain Care, there will no longer be any major medical health insurance. So the Exchange will abruptly vanish Ð after taxpayers spent some $160 million to create and operate it for three years. 9. How does Gov. Shumlin think the Green Mountain Care Board will solve the Ò cost containmentÓ problem? Mainly through Ò payment reformÓ . It will replace the predominant Ò fee for serviceÓ medicine with some new arrangement, whereby the GMC Board pays money to a provider group that agrees to provide more efficient care. In March the GMC Board got another $45 million Federal grant to figure this out. The most familiar model to Vermonters is Ò managed careÓ , in one guise or another. 10. Is all this believable? Gov. Shumlin staunchly maintains that it is. But longtime single payer advocate Hamilton Davis has observed Ò the structural reforms that we need to get the rest of the way Ð payment reform and system integration Ð have not yet moved beyond the early planning and pilot project stage. These two initiatives sound reasonable enough, but they in fact presume a huge technical and cultural shift in the whole warp and woof of the delivery of health care, so that even 2017 will be a considerable stretch.Ó 11. What will happen if this grand scheme doesnÕ t work? Chaos, probably. John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www.ethanallen.org).

A rare view of Lake Dunmore in the early 1900s Time Capsule By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com SALISBURY Ñ Beginning during the late 1800s and early 1900s, VermontÕ s pristine lakes became popular destinations for summer travelers. The large lakes of Rutland County, such as Lakes St. Catherine and BomoseenÑ as well as Lake Dunmore in Addison CountyÑ were easily reached by train and coach. The photograph pictured here shows a northern view of Lake Dunmore, from the lawn of the old Mountain Spring Hotel, in Salisbury. The image illustrates what the lake looked like before summer camps cluttered the pristine shoreline starting during the 1940s. The hotel, no longer standing, was a popular destination for wealthy vacationers from as far away as Philadelphia. Lake Dunmore was easily reached from the south by train and coach routes. The photo shown, taken sometime between 1900 and 1906, was originally distributed by the Detroit Publishing Co. Over decades, this publishing firm amassed a large collection of rare, regional photographs that are now of interest to historians. The original photographic glass negative of this Mountain Spring Hotel image is now archived in the U.S. Library of Congress.

Hinesburg author pens book on life in old Vermont By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs. com HINESBURG Ñ If you donÕ t think fact is strangerÑ and funnier—than fiction, just ask author Rusty Clark DeVoid. The author of a new book about life in old Vermont, titled Ò Horse Tales and Hoof PrintsÓ , DeVoid presents a colorful collection of true stories with just a few bordering on the fantastic. The book is published by Distinction Press of Waitsfield. It’s a treasure book that recounts what it was like to live in Vermont starting in the 1920s through the World War II years. Ò Many of the events in my book actually happened,Ó according to DeVoid. Ò Most were related to me by my father and his father. The stories were passed on as bona fide experiences in their lives and their neighborsÕ lives.Ó As DeVoidÕ s grandparents stories illustrate, farmingÑ and horsesÑ played a major part in the lives of many Vermonters. As a child and teen, DeVoid spent hours listening to his grandparents storytelling skills. At the time, the young, future author took the stories as gospel truth. And so, these stories were retold by DeVoid to his family and friends. In the telling, a traditional of rugged, self-sufficient rural New England storytelling was kept alive. With the publication of his new book, the 66-year-old DeVoid, who lives in Hinesburg with his wife Joyce, has brought to life the down-toearth, and sometimes eccentric, lives of a cast of rural and town characters that would delight anyone interested in life before televisions, computers, and mobile telephones. The DeVoids are both native Vermonters. Rusty worked on a farm in Hinesburg during his youth. He and Joyce first met while students at Champlain Valley Union High School. The couple were fortunate enough to have been able to acquire and rescue JoyceÕ s family farm situated on HinesburgÕ s Hayden Hill. The up-country farm was in JoyceÕ s family for several generations. Today, it is a private museum showcasing a way of life that many of us today only know from old photographs or movies. The couple restored the 1882 Hinesburg farmhouse into a place of simple beauty. It is decorated with various heirlooms, of value only to the owners, along with other period things such as JoyceÕ s grandmotherÕ s ice boxÑ even classic, old hand tools from around the farm can be seen on display. Best of all is the DeVoidsÕ massive cast-iron kitchen stove; it is the centerpiece of the home. Ò We spend a lot of time in the kitchen. ItÕ s quiet there. We donÕ t have television anywhere in the house,Ó DeVoid said proudly. Ò After Red Skelton went off the air, I donÕ t know anyone else on T.V. But IÕ ll say that we do have a telephone and the Internet.Ó
DeVoid feels todayÕ s world moves too quickly for us to notice the natural environment around us or to take measure of the simple, yet important things of living. DeVoid, who appears to enjoy the same simple lifestyle of many of the people recounted in Ò Horse Tales...Ó , is proud of the fact that much of todayÕ s world doesn’t filter through the fortress of his idyllic homestead. Ò ThereÕ s really nothing we need,Ó he said. Ò We have a garden; we grow and can our own vegetables. This is how our parents, and their parents, lived. TodayÕ s society lunges forward, hungry for progress. But I believe it is necessary to stop occasionally and look around. Consider the pastÑ where have we been, where are we going?Ó DeVoid started writing Ò Horse Tales...Ó in 2009. He wanted to write down all the stories his father, Floyd DeVoid, told him about life growing up on a farm in Jeffersonville, Vt. It took DeVoid a year to assemble all the stories, with various names, taken from note and memory down through the years. While he didnÕ t have many family photos to use in the book, one monochrome imageÑ showing his great grandfather farming in Jeffersonville in 1949Ñ graces the cover of the book. No matter, the DeVoid familyÕ s life in farming is symbolic of so many other Vermont farming families from the Great Depression and World War II eras. Ò History is not to be disregarded. ThatÕ s why I regret not learning more about my familyÕ s roots,Ó DeVoid admits. Ò But the stories I collected are like the songs of a troubadour in the Middle Ages. They were told at meeting places, at county fairs, and social gatherings. DeVoid is so excited by the stories, he wishes more people will read them and tell stories of their own. Ò The stories carried excitement and flavor about people who wrestled to survive and prosper on Vermont farms,Ó he said. Aside from the mainstay livestock of most Vermont farmers of the years DeVoid recountsÑ the cowÑ horses were an inseparable part of these hardscrabble folks. Only today have the number of horses in Vermont come anywhere near the equine levels of the past. However, horses in Vermont now are no longer a necessity, but an expensive hobby, a luxury requiring a considerable income to properly feed, shelter, and grazeÑ but not so 80 to 100 years ago. Ò Muscles, sweat, and a strong back were vital tools for survival back then,Ó DeVoid said. “Horses fit right in as obedient members of the family. They were a dedicated, loyal power source that helped

shape not only Vermont, but the entire nation.Ó Several of DeVoidÕ s stories, told to him by his father, include horsesÑ on the farm and in town. Ò Many a tankard has been tipped to a worthy animal and their stories deserve telling,Ó he said. DeVoidÕ s lead story, Ò Town ConstableÓ is an hyperbolic account of a Vermont town where Sally is the unofficial town constable. Sally, of course, is a horse. Without giving away the plot, suffice it to say this DeVoidÕ s story should be joyfully enshrined alongside the best rural and frontier tales penned by Mark Twain and OÕ Henry. In Ò The Best Town Meeting EverÓ , DeVoidÕ s grandmother Cora of Underhill takes center stage in a story concerning a horse named Molly. Ò Molly was my grandparentsÕ horse,Ó DeVoid said. Ò She didnÕ t need a pulling collar because the carriage she pulled only weighed about half the horse.Ó For all the quaint, nostalgic details in DeVoid’s first book, there is a clear longing for the past in these tales. Regardless if the stories may not be 100 percent true, sweetened with retelling over the years, they connect the reader to a past that exists in our individual and collective memories, as well as in old photos, and the imagination. With a little humor and pathos added to spice up the tales, DeVoidÕ s book is a delight to read and pass along to friends. Check It Out: Ò Horse tales and Hoof PrintsÓ is $13.95 and is available at many booksellers in Vermont. It can also be ordered online, through Distinction Press at www.distinctionpress.com.

Lake Champlain Bridge has lighting problems DOT promises repairs By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Transportation officials will wait until warm weather to investigate lighting problems on the Lake Champlain Bridge. The $76 million bridge, which opened in November 2011, connects Crown Point and Addison, Vt. Bryan Viggiani, public information officer for the New York State Department of Transportation Region One, said many of the bridgeÕ s more than 300 lights are not working. The span has 66 LED floodlights and 276 LED pedestrian lights on the handrails. Ò For the Lake Champlain Bridge, NYSDOT is aware that numerous lights are out along the bridge, both within the arches and along the
sidewalks,Ó Viggiani said. Ò We are committed to getting those fixed. Ò Once the weather is consistently above freezing this spring, we will begin a thorough investigation of the entire lighting system to determine the exact issue,Ó he said. Ò We want to avoid unintentional damage that may occur while investigating the systemÕ s wires, which may be brittle to the touch because of the freezing temperatures. “Once any issues are identified, we will go in and fix the lighting. NYSDOT is committed to fixing the lights on the bridge,” Viggiani concluded. The lighting issue has not affected traffic, Viggiani stressed. The new bridge replaced the old Lake Champlain Bridge, which served the region eight decades. That span was immediately closed Oct. 16, 2009, when state transportation officials, without warning, declared it unsafe. The bridge served about 3,000 vehicles a day,
meaning people who used the bridge daily to reach their jobs, health care facilities, grocery stores and other necessities were forced to take detours lasting up to four hours. The closing led to the closure of businesses on both sides of the lake and crippled tourism. A temporary ferry service was installed to link Crown Point and Addison, Vt. The bridge was demolished in December 2009 and construction started on a new bridge in June 2010. The new bridge opened Nov. 7, 2011. The new Network Tied Arch Bridge is a steel structure with an arch along the center span. The bridge’s design makes it significantly safer than the previous structure and will ensure at least a 75-year service life. Key bridge components are designed to be easily replaceable to reduce maintenance costs. Travel lanes are 11 feet wide, with five-foot shoulders that will help accommodate larger trucks and farm vehicles, as well as provide ample room for bicyclists. Side-

walks are featured on both sides of the bridge. The eight-story, 402-foot long, 1.8 million pound arch was constructed at Velez Marine in Port Henry, then floated down the lake and lifted into place. Building the arch on land was much faster, easier and cost-efficient than trying to safely build the arch high in the air above Lake Champlain. The new bridge was built at the same location as the previous structure to minimize historic and environmental impacts on the surrounding area. The land adjacent to the bridge on both sides of the lake is historically sensitive, with Native American, French and Indian War and Revolutionary War artifacts buried deep along the shores of Lake Champlain. The ruins of 18th century forts Ð the French Fort St. Frederic and British Crown Point sit on the New York side of the bridge.

Casino to be built in Port Henry? Moriah Town Board likes the idea By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ A casino on the shore of Lake Champlain makes sense to the Moriah town board. ThatÕ s why trustees have asked New York State to consider Port Henry as a site for one of the seven casino locations to be approved later this year. “Moriah is officially asking to be considered as a casino location,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò We feel a location on Lake Champlain is perfect. I, personally, think Port Henry would be a great location. Ò Realistically, what chance is there a casino will be built in the Adirondack Park?Ó he continued. Ò I donÕ t know, but if we don’t try we’ll never find out.” Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed building casinos in upstate New York as part of a plan to enhance the stateÕ s econ-
omy. The state legislature passed a constitutional amendment last year legalizing up to seven casinos. It must be passed again this year and then be approved in a statewide voter referendum before becoming law. Anticipating approval, Cuomo plans to select the casino locations in 2013. Ò There hasnÕ t been much discussion in the community about this,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò IÕ m not sure what people think. IÕ m certain some people like the idea and others donÕ t. At this point weÕ re just keeping our options open.Ó New York currently only allows table gambling in Native American resorts. The state also allows companies to open and run video lottery terminals at so-called racinos in Saratoga, Yonkers and Queens. “We are finally confronting the reality that while New York is already in the gaming business, we need a real plan to regulate and capitalize on the industry,Ó Cuomo said. Ò This is a process that will ultimately put thousands of New Yorkers to work, drive our economy and help keep billions of dollars spent by New Yorkers on gaming in the state.Ó
In February the Essex County Board of Supervisors discussed the idea of a casino in the county, but took no action. If Port Henry isnÕ t selected as a casino site, Scozzafava said there are other locations in Essex County that could host a major gambling operation. Ò I suggested LoweÕ s in Ticonderoga, but I was kidding about that,Ó Scozzafava. Ò The ideal place would be the former Frontier Town.Ó The LoweÕ s Home Improvement Center in Ticonderoga closed in 2011. The large warehouse-type building at the intersection of Routes 9N and 74 remains vacant. Frontier Town, located at Exit 29 of the Northway in North Hudson, has been closed since 1998. ItÕ s owned by Sunrise Land Development of Westchester, but the county is in the process of taking ownership because of back taxes. While New York State will approve the locations, the casinos will be constructed and operated by private enterprises, Scozzafava said. They will create private-sector jobs and add to the local tax base.
