Hamlin Rises From The Ashes

Hamlin NY today celebrates its fifth anniversary as America's official “Biker-Town USA.” On hand to celebrate were the Hells Angels, Iron Horseman and the Hamlin Headknockers.

The following is from a Hamlin resident.
I was quite dismayed to see our Republican politicians marching in the parade behind the "Hamlin Republicans" banner. To be truthful with you, I wish that politicians would stay completely out of Memorial Day parades unless they are there as veterans.

As usual, Supervisor Warner misses the point. His letter in the 5/16 Herald (written by Pat McIntosh, I’m sure!) actually brags about the secret meetings and dealings the town has had with the DiMarco developers. Doesn’t he understand anything?

At the May 3rd Planning Board meeting not one word was uttered about the DiMarco “Millstone” project.

Mike Marchetti continues to be a hero in Hamlin. First, he organized the opposition to the DeMarco “Millstone” development. He got the maps, posted them in his store, wrote letters, made phone calls and generally sounded the alarm for all his fellow residents.

Just Another "Good Guy"
Can there be any doubt that Hamlin is the low-water mark for local government in Monroe County? For confirmation, one needs only look at the Chairman of our Zoning Board, Norm Baas.
Baas, who claims to have been on the ZB for about 25 years, epitomizes the laziness and incompetence of the Warner administration.

Warner Earns a Gold Hat
The ironies just keep piling up! Supervisor Warner is aggressively stumping to keep his political crony Jim Breslawski on the Planning Board.
Beside the “Good Guy” argument (below) he offers the reasoning that Jim is a big taxpayer and large landowner. (Both these assertions will be examined later, in detail.)

After O.J. Simpson was arrested the most astonishing support for his innocence came from an anonymous citizen during a TV interview. The man said, “He couldn’t have committed murder, he won the Heisman Trophy!”

Dear Planning Board Members:
Although I plan to attend the public hearing on the DeMarco subsidized housing project on December 18, I feel that my written input may be more effective at this point than during what portends to be an emotional hearing, which will be attended by many residents.
