Grant to New Square is the last strawSeptember 11, 2009 The recent $1.63 million "Restore New York" grant ("State to give New Square $1.6M for chicken slaughterhouse," Sept. 4) for a kosher chicken slaughterhouse in New Square is the last straw for this second-generation Ramapo homeowner. How can this be allowed when we pay some of the highest property taxes in not only the state but the country? Gov. David Paterson has decided against the STAR tax rebate, Ramapo Town Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence has wasted millions of dollars on open space and we are in the worst economy in decades. Why does this group get taxpayers' money? Oh, I get it now. It's about votes. Well, I vote, too, and neither of you are getting my vote. Robert Szklany
