Veteran’s Exemption Question


We don’t have the answer. Just a couple of interesting questions from one of our readers. Why did the town clerk, Kathryn Connolly and her brother, Rensselaer County Independence Party Chairman Tom Connolly have both a combat and non combat veteran’s exemption on their homes in North Greenbush.

Here’s the link to the Rensselaer County Tax Assessment Roll web site. Pages 333 and 335 in the pdf are the properties in question.

Did Tom Connolly qualify for a non combat veteran’s exemption on 19 Dobert Court? It was worth $4,600 in reduction of taxable assessed valuation. Did his sister qualify for a combat veteran’s exemption worth $7,200 off the assessed valuation of 1 Crestwood Lane?

The dates listed are July 2005 to March 2006. We are told they were removed in the yet to be posted 2007 tax rolls.

Since we don’t know the answer, we invite the Connollys to post their comments or emails so we can tell our readers. Remember, no accusations printed here, just questions.


Kyran Devery
Today is Day 69 for the North Greenbush Democratic Committee violation of State Election Law requiring the on line filing of a Financial Disclosure Report due July 15, 2007. Laws apparently don’t apply to the “reformed” democrats under Jeff Spain and his Treasurer, Tax Collector Kyran Devery.
Hint, we're told a lawsuit will be filed very shortly to force the filing of this report.

Politicians in North Greenbush are corrupt and have a small town complex.
I for one am sick of these politicians. As someone who is conserative I find the conseratives and republican party sickening in North Greenbush. Are the democrats any better...of course not. The Democrats all over keep moving to the left.

People of North Greenbush stop being sheep and do one of two things: 1.Run for office, run an honest campaign and do not smear others. or 2.Just don't vote. I hate the second option but it seems to be the only way to clean up North Greenbush.

I can be contacted, just leave your e-mail if you want to discuss things further.

To the previous poster...

You are right about many things but please, don't opt for option #2 on your list. We do have the newly formed Greenbuh Party. It is a mix of individuals from all parties including a blank.

The Judy Wos', Connolys, Evers, Spains, Dessos of the town would like nothing more than for all of us to stay home on election day. That is why they worked so hard to control all three lines.

Is this the same woman who consorted to get two real veterans fired from the town offices? Can there be a more disgusting family in this town?
Maybe Tom Connolly's wife or children have served or perhaps he was serving incognito when he lied about attending college. It would be nice to get some answers, wouldn't it? It will probably show up on the Wos/Connolly blog.

Actually they control 4 lines:
DEM
REP
CON
IND

The greenbush party LINE "F"
It's the only opposition
Give Evers an F for his job the last 2 years and vote
LINE "F" Greenbush Party
Our only hope
