Urgency - Too work on something as quickly as possible... without compromising quality, security, or safety. In simple words "DO IT RIGHT (correctly), NOW! As a former town couniclman (not in Cornwall) I had the honor on assisting with an eminent domain issue for that town. We needed an appraisal as well. It took our apprasier less than a week to deliver this to the council. 3 weeks later we were able to move forward and file with the state. I understand the present daily business of Cornwall must press on and be handled first, but there appears to be a lack of URGENCY in the matter of NYMA. Just makes me think multi-tasking not in the mind set at present. The "Study" of an issue or project rather than action has been used by many politicos in the past to "watch and wait". i.e. Water plant!! and then it is too late! NYMA is too important to the town and the village that it must be placed on the big burner on the front of the stove, so to speak,next to daily business. Deadlines must (if not specific it doesn't count) be given and set to appraiser, the special attorney, and all other parties involved in helping the council members reach an URGENT decsion? No goals and no set dates = No real plan. It is not time to wait, that time past backed in MAY. Action is needed... one way or the other. Just look at the angst already occuring with real esate within 1 mile of NYMA! Please speed the process up and relieve the pressure off the stove.

The residents of the town of Cornwall MUST closely watch how the current board and supervisor handle this issue, (NYMA), as well as other very serious issues which have occurred under their watch, i.e., an international drug enterprise operating within Cornwall from 2008 - 2009, (see http://www.cornwall-on-hudson.com/news.cfm?page=5059). The current administration does a good job running the day to day business of the town but the world we live in today requires more from our elected officials and we are NOT adequately protected and represented here in the town. PLEASE vote wisely in future board elections.....the value of your home, the safety of our town and life as we know it now will be in the balance! We need the best and brightest Cornwall has to offer to take on these challenges now and in the future and the current board and supervisor are NOT that.

Why don't the residents of Cornwall take matters into their own hands, as happened in Woodbury, and form a Village of the entire town?
