Millbrook is a village of less than 560 households, with over 40% of the buildings and properties not on the tax rolls. You would have to be delusional to believe a village that small could buy, restore or even maintain the former Bennett College. And what if the majority of the residents do not want their tax dollars spent there? Which they don’t. So who wants the government to spend my tax dollars there? The over whelming majority are people who don’t pay village taxes, and every bong hugging mouth breather that passes and says wow this a far out building why don’t we restore it and put in a gift shop and sell “I love Halcyon Hall T-shirts", you know with a big red heart. Man that would be so cool…….For the record there are no Wineries in Millbrook. And if Halcyon is restored to its former glory will the person who stole all the furniture, armoires, and fireplace facades etc.etc. have too return them? And Barbie A.H. it's my pleasure to charm you, I am betting its a rare occurance.

Wow, dissing dead mayors, that doesn't take a huge about of balls, at the very least I.D. yoursel Barb. Or is that you Howard?

facts.: The village of Millbrook does not own Bennett college, it never did and never will. The reason it is not a spa or gift shop is because obvioulsly the numbers don't work. It is beyound repir at this time, that is reality. Also is is not the business of the village government to restore broken down properties. It goes without saying that most everybody would like to see it restored to its former beauty. I have been a mason for over38 years and I hate to see fellow tradesmen 's work bull dozed, but what is the option? Think of it as redevlopment not development. If you want the world to stop expanding stop having off spring. After all Robert Kennedy's six children will need a place to live someday.

Pat,
why don't you buy the place, then do with it want you want. If you have the pesos you can have the say sos.
