July 20, 2010 "Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence apparently lacks the votes for the town to borrow $5.8 million toward clearing a wooded area and preparing the property for construction of a baseball stadium off Route 45 near the Fire Training Center."

"The Town Board needs four affirmative votes to approve the short-term loan for the work. A meeting scheduled Monday was canceled when three board members couldn't attend."

"Councilmen Yitzchok Ullman and Patrick Withers said Monday that they were reluctant to approve a bond anticipation note until the public votes on a proposed financing plan of up to $16.5 million for construction of the 3,500-seat stadium."

"With only Councilman Daniel Friedman's vote, St. Lawrence said Monday that he would hold the meeting when all the board members were available."

If there's a need to bond almost $6 million to clear-cut and prepare the rest of the site, who paid for the clearing and paving already done in the NorthEast corner (top photo) and the clearcutting at the  SouthWest corner? The work in the NorthEast section was begun illegally, without the proper permits.
