Two things. First, maybe an official inspection will end up saving us some money. If an inspector passed the dams then we could find other insurers at a lower fee. 2nd. I hope someone is writing to Albany. With President Obama's money to make work we could get the dams re-done thus creating jobs and solving the villages problems.

Mr. Olley, I hope you'll be encouraged to know that a comprehensive assessment of our dam system has been performed recently by our Water Dept. superintendent, Bob June. The improvement projects outlined in this report are "shovel-ready", and we believe would be good candidates for federal stimulus money. Mayor Gross has submitted this report to Sen. Gillebrand and to the county, as they would be our links to this financing. Let's hope that the money and the projects transpire, and that it will ultimately have the result of giving us a more favorable profile to prospective insurers. Thanks for your thoughts on this.
Sincerely, Rick Gioia Trustee

Mr. Gioia, Gillibrand is spelled with and 'i' after 'l' not an 'e.'

Thanks, Mr. Bruce. If that's the only thing being pointed out, then I guess the gist was understood.

Dear Mr. Rick, When asking for money from someone it usually helps to know how to spell their name. Pronouncing it correctly usually helps too. Addressing them correctly is another helper.
