Even though my county taxes went up this year, I will be saving $50 a year as a result of the dissolution of the JCJDC. I always had kept a membership active for my business because I...I...don't know why..Guess it was one of those PR things like keeping a membership in a fraternal club or a veterans organization.
Years ago the mayor served on its board by title but that was changed in 2004 when I was elected to succeed Mayor Butler, so I hadn't been to a meeting of the group in years.
If I were writing this story, I might have led with the pot of money spent on lawyers from Harris Beach and other law firms this past year on pension issues still not resolved.
In fact, much of the past two years in the economic development agencies has been spent on this matter.
JCJDC....RIP

"Even though my county taxes went up this year,"
If you are going to constantly keep taking cheap shots at the county then maybe they should remove the city from the sales tax distribution. Would you like to be responsible to pass your own sales tax legislation for inside the city boundaries and see how well you fare or how much you have to raise city property taxes.
With the taxes in the city compared to no taxes in the town of Watertown and low level of service in the city you ought to be the last person wagging. The flight to the town by city residents is apparent
The county belongs to the towns and city residents including the mayor should not comment on such matters
Will Jay still get a pension?? Donald?
