“New Hartford Development Announcement Monday: State and Local Officials will announce an economic development project at 10:00 A.M., Monday at Butler Hall on Genesee St. Representatives will include Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente, Sen. Joseph Griffo, Assemblyman Dave Townsend, Legislator Michael Damsky and New Hartford Town Supervisor Earl Reed.”We couldn't wait to hear the wonderful news. This blogger put on her best pair of blue jeans, sneakers and sweater for what she thought would be exciting news...just the thought of 'rubbing elbows' with these 'celebrities' has had me in a tizzy ever since I first read the news on the Observer Dispatch website.
Almost all Town Department Heads were in attendance... guess they all must have got "the memo". I also saw Village of New Hartford Mayor Don Ryan, Mike Damsky, Jim D'Onfrio, Dave Townsend, Joe Griffo, Tony Picente, Larry Adler and Earle Reed to name a few. Excuse me gentlemen, if I left anyone out...I was awe-stricken by the personalities that surrounded me. The town spared no expense; they used their best card table and paper napkins and there was plenty of coffee and donut holes to go around. I could feel the suspense in the air. WKTV was there, along with someone from the Observer Dispatch. I actually got to sit right next to them.
Finally the moment came and the announcement was made. Drum roll, please!
The Hartford Insurance Company will be building a new building in the New Hartford Business Park.What???!! I read that story in the Observer Dispatch back on September 30th.
I couldn't believe it! This was a well-orchestrated piece of political bullsh*t...doesn't everyone have better things to do? Like maybe their jobs! Just how stupid do all these politicians think we are...it is time to give them a clue at the polls tomorrow!

You gotta be kidding me. I almost figured it would be something stupid like that. Thanks for the update. Must be all those hot shots just remembered it's an election year too.
Wow. Now watch how the OD inflates this like a ballon. Watch who gets mentioned or 'not so much'.
It would be neat for once to actually see a "new trick" from the NH 'leadership' and Co.
Economic Development. The Town has been touting this b/s since their 1992 GEIS Report.
When will this Town stop lying to the public and tell them, "...EVERYTHING IS FOR BIG BUSINESS, (i.e. tax breaks, no sales taxes, more profits to the principals and none to the workers...
the election results confirm that change in the town and in the county is impossible. we will get just more of the same with the same results. how sad and hopless this area is.
