Suffolk eyes Westhampton junkyard as moneymaker

a 'green'concept in two ways

How about letting us build our casino there?

How about make the people that sap the system pay their fare share in taxes or cut the overpaid, useless slobs in the gov't salaries instead of coming up with worthless ideas to fix the defecit!!! Oh that would be too smart and too easy !!!

I'm sure this will end up cosing us more money than helping close the gap.

They were designed to hit Russian bombers, not the country.

Great idea to put prisoners to work. Let them have the never used boots to work in.

They should put some of this stuff up on ebay. People will buy anything

haha great, how long before some crackheads from flanders try to break into these garages and think they can sell this junk for scrap?

Yeah, there's a great secondary market for boxes of IBM punch cards and voting records in leather bound journals dating back to the 1800s. The only people who are going to "clean up" are those politically connected enough to get the contract to sort and sell this crap for the county.

Inept Government at it's finest! Sorry Steve but my guess is all the worthwhile crap has already been sold by the denizens of the county labor force.

Make freeloaders pay taxes?!? 50% of NY would move to California if that happened....

It seems Arnold already has his hands full with a $20 billion budget hole! I guess he's got his fair share of freeloaders already!

I guess things must be pretty bad in Suffolk if they're floating this idea! What next... we start checking the couch cushions for lose change?? LOL

How about setting a small fire and calling out FDNY to extinguish. They'll pick that place clean.

Prisoners are not free labor.

Managing this program is not free.

Just another gimic in the new year.

How long? Just let your mother know she heads the crackhead prostitute ring out there.

Why did no one liten to George Proios former cheif enviornmental analyst for Suffolk County a year ago when he first gave this report to Lindsey??? George Proios was the one who discovered this. He planned a project to deal with this problem and bring revenue to the County. The County Executive Steve Levy killed the project last year. I guess this year it will be HIS idea and he can get a press relese for his great insight. It is a little late now that aluminium has hit a low of 17 cents a pound. Six months ago when this project would have been in full swing you could have made some real money. Always a day late, a dollar short and patting ourselves on the back for something we did not do and probally never will. Keep up the good work!

Why wasn't this revenue stream previously tapped?

Hasn't anyone at the County accounting office heard of scrap metal? All those rusting cars, typewriters, metal silos can be sold to China. The paper, leather, and other goods too. If they want to maximize a return on this fallow land, they need to be creative and resourceful, something that seems to escape them when the feeding trough of public funds is empty.
