Keewaydin & Mary Island Closing Info Meeting

At the request of Town Supervisor Martha Millett, an informational meeting was held today at 11:00 am at the Town Offices.  Kevin Keiff, Thousand Island Regional Parks Director and Assemblywoman Addie Russell were there to present information and answer questions.  Also present were 2 reporters from the official news papers. Trustee's Roy and Drake, as well as Town Council Williams and Hunneyman were in attendance. The meeting lasted just over an hour.....


I would like to premise the audio with a few of my thoughts.  Keep in mind that the Regional Director, is responsible for the day to day operations of all the state parks in the Thousand Island region.  To simplify it further the Regional Director is responsible for managing revenues and expenses for these parks.  It amazes me that our parks have been allowed to operate in the RED year after year.  This is not just fiscal recklessness in our region, but this is a problem with many state park regions.  Yet, some state parks have revenue greater than expenses, keeping them in the BLACK.  Some of you will argue that this is how government does business.....  Today's meeting was an eye opener for me, leaving me.........speechless.



Please Sign the Petition

Any moron can run an operation into the RED! Why not make this guy the next political appointee. He works cheap [no suit] and can accomplish the same thing........The same caliber can be hired for the NYS Division of Budget
