Why Is A Second Ward Council Member Receiving His Mail At A House He Owns In Greenport If He's Never Lived There?

Could it be because Dewan Sarowar has owned 46 Green Acres Road for 10 years and still lives there with his wife and child(ren)?  Is that why his name is on a mailbox located over a mile north of the Hudson High School, well outside of Hudson?  Because he lives in the house in Greenport that he owns, not in the house in Hudson he sold 12 years ago?

Hudson, Getting Prettier and More Walkable By The Day!

Using any material other than concrete to construct or replace a sidewalk is a code violation.  It simply shouldn't be happening but increasingly it is. And the Public Works Board - formed to create safer sidewalks through the SID project -- is powerless to do anything about it.

How's That Budget Coming Along, Especially DPW's?

On Wednesday afternoon -- in the first week of November, no less -- I came across a DPW crew of three maintaining the Riverfront Park.  One worker was on a riding mower cutting the grass and the others were blowing leaves with gasoline-powered blowers.  One of those workers was doing his best to blow leaves into the river (see above.)

Didn't Rob Perry Recently Tell Us That DPW Discover Damaged City Property Inside The Dunn Building?

Yes, he did.

How "Soon"? How "Remotely"? "Out" Where and For How Long? Should We Be Concerned! Yes, Quite Concerned!

1 pm yesterday (above and below):  "Out of Office" and "Working Remotely."

Seen At 2nd & Warren. Oh, The IMPROVEMENTS! Oh, The Revitalization! Oh, The Downtown To Be So Proud Of!

If you need evidence of a city in full-fledged failure and money-hemorrhaging mode, take a walk over to 2nd & Warren and observe the recent DRI improvements at your feet.  The liquid goo spreading on the new stone "plazas" for the past few weeks from both public trash cans on the south side say it all, don't they?  "Welcome to your once-neglected, now-improved downtown westside commercial district.  We don't care about you.  All we ask is that you pay your property taxes and parking tickets on time and use the public trash cans for your litter.  Otherwise, piss off!  And don't even think of calling Rob Perry.  He doesn't work from City Hall and he doesn't want to hear from you.  Have a great day.  But piss off anyway!"
