Dear Editor:
Regarding Bob Schulz's decade old challenge to the "Trash Plant" scheme.
Municipal corporations, just as ancient Roman corporate law decreed, such as
Warren and Washington Counties are creatures of the state and its public
corporation laws but also now subject to the NY state constitution. Since
circa 1964 the State of New York has been ignoring its own state
constitution requiring municipal corporations such as Warren and Washington
Counties to conform as constitutional organizational entities with large
enough populations to warrant their own home-rule -- having at least two
full NYS Assembly districts within the border of the municipality.
These two counties combined are not large enough population to support even
one a constitutional home-rule municipal corporation. If Saratoga, also too
small by itself, was soon combined with these other two municipalities then
they would as a unit conform to the state constitutional districting
plan -- the former counties would be boroughs of the proposed new u-ber
municipality, just as NYC is the u-ber municipality over its various
boroughs.
Ego, the infamous Warren-Washington County Trash Plant is an
unconstitutional nullity and the entire State of New York will ultimately be
forced to pay uniformly for this unconstitutional enterprise created under
color of law and reimburse the property owners in Warren and Washington
Counties.
See the state supreme court case (Saratoga County State Supreme Court)--
"Bombard v Little" a matter now before the Appellate Division 3rd Department,
and see US District court case Loeber v Spargo, Northern District of New
York
