Village & Town Taxes in New York State seem to always be increasing. How can we get the best value for money for the towns and villages along the Erie Canal? The NY Government Reorganization & Citizen Empowerment Act may have the Answer.

Open to Members & Guests, for Q&A regarding the Erie Canal Neighbors Association or the Erie Canal Embankment Integrity Program Please read the Welcome to the ECNA Post on how to conduct yourself in this public forum. Welcome all, let's start the discussion.

Moderators: Michael Caswell, Doug K

The ECNA will respond to arguments supported by a Facebook Group called "Stop The Canal Clear-Cut" and expose them for what they are; misrepresentations of the truth, with little to no scientific support. We will refute all claims made by the STCC that are NOT based or supported by scientific facts... always. Fighting against Public Safety projects in our community must stop, join the discussion.
