Seems odd to me that our Superintendent of School was cutting
jobs and more in 2018, but managed to pass an $11.2 million
project to get us to build a new bus depot. We're firing
teachers to build a bus depot?
In 2020 we're passing a $60+ million project to improve our
school buildings?
What the hell is going on?

Yes.
In June of 2018 the Erie Canal Neighbors Association came into
existence with the task of correcting the mis-information being
spread by a Facebook group regarding Earthen Dam Safety in our
community.
We investigated the facts, found the breadcrumb trail of how
Embankments had become unsafe in the first place, and led the
effort to bring facts & truth to other canal neighbors who were
being confused by the mixed messages they were hearing in the
press & from Facebook.
And here we are, almost 2 years later, still fighting the same
disinformation campaign, from the same Facebook group, and
wondering why the public is so easily convinced to follow the
"wrong path home".
And since 2018, the ECNA had also sought the truth & facts on
other Erie Canal topics, like Reimagine the Canals & Canal
Village Reorganization. Just so others can gain from a little
work on our part to uncover the truth and put in an easy to
understand format, in a place everyone can share. On the
www.ecna.us website.
Once again, we will try to help people understand the FACTS and
help wade through the fiction that so many others want to add to
these new conversations , in hopes of steering the conversation
away from the truth.
Our advice remains the same, Be sure you do your homework before
deciding what path to follow.
