    Alternative to a Cross Sound Bridge

    I read it would cost $45 Billion to build a Cross Sound Bridge. Instead of building that, why don't they make the LIE and The Cross Bronx 2 level roads and build a New 8 lane George Washington Bridge and Throgs Neck Bridge with 2 levels ?? Would probably cost less than $45 Billion. The Mario...

    NY should build a Boat Ramp in Montauk

    Right next to Star Island Marine ( on the road leading to the US Coast Guard Station ) there's about 5 acres of land and it would be perfect for a new boat launching ramp there. Last time I was out there the property was for sale. Couldn't the state buy that land with fishing fund money and put...

    Actually there was a Company that sold one recently. Kingston Arms up in Liberty NY sold one a couple of years ago for about $600. It was a full sized gun and had a Ruger 10/22 magazine . Looked really cool and then the company went out of business ? Saw one on Gunbroker and the current bid is...

    This isn't political . I look at my Long Island Tax bill and it's $14,000 a year and I look at my Chenango County Property Tax bill and it's under $700 a year ( both school and county/local tax) taxes on a property that's 11 1/4 acres and has a small cabin. I could live there full time and send...

    Did Kathy Hochul give away the bunker again ?

    I read that somewhere. Just one company in the US doing all that damage, there's a lawsuit claiming the owner isn't a US Citizen/ US company and they can't legally fish for the bunker. The local reports I'm reading say bunker #'s are way down off Long Island.
