| STAN THE HATCHET MAN
Randy Bauer says that Stan Booz, co-chair of the Finance Committee, is
free to write all the four-letter stuff he wishes, equating his
vulgarity with the far more measured and intelligent use of expletives
by Harry Truman, who enjoyed his Chopin rather than the Missouri Waltz,
in truth.
The answer is that resident CPA Booz is the chief hatchet man
for the Board majority. His duty is to change the subject from the
suppressed cost estimates of the move to Cross-to-Bear to Don Schultz's
drinking habits, this writer's meds, or the dirty diaper of Sam Sloan's
baby. He is at the same level as Mr. Bauer, who would likely agree
with this judgment.
You are now hearing a discussion of the building costs in
Cross-to-Bear after I broke the story from an insider about the likely
cost of the small new structure down in Cross-to-Bear. The Federation
will be getting less than half the space of the old building in New
Windsor for about $135,000 or more extra dollars -- when there was no
reason to relocate to begin with!
The Federaton sold the much larger building in New Windsor for
$515,000, and it will be paying, it would now appear, at least $650,000
for the small new structure when and if it is fully completed.
Such a deal!
Meanwhile, we still do not have the detailed cost estimates of
the move to Cross-to-Bear. But we will certainly be hearing about
excrement from Mr. Booz.
I broke the story about the dirty contract with Cross-to-Bear
architect, Famished Phil Elmore, who may be a friend of Harry Sabine.
Did Mr. Sabine know about the overcharge and keep his trap shut at the
expense of the Federation?
What a mess!
There is still no general contractor, and the estimates and
knowledge of what is required are rudimentary. And this is called "due
diligence" by the EB majority!
Stan Booz and Don Schultz are battling over who tells me the truth,
which I then report here. No comment from yours truly.
And so it goes.
