Media Helps Oneida County Executive - In #emailgate we learned that the media offers very specific, pre-interview coaching, to County Executive Picente, tips so he can combat a question from a constituent regarding the downtown hospital. Is this common practice?
April 6, 2022 - Mentions downtown hospital and parking garage, Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente, 2022 Address.
How can both his statements be true? Picente stated...
"Why does a $400,000 home outside of Atlanta have a tax burden of $2,400 a year, yet a $185,000 home in Oneida County has a tax burden of $6,000 a year? We are clearly missing something."
And,
"This is the best and most unique place in America to invest, live and visit."

You'll also hear comments regarding; a Utica #Nexus Center, the Utica #AUD, and proposed Utica U-District.
March 2, 2017 - Did you catch the County Executive Anthony J. Picente, Jr.'s 2017 State of County Address and media reactions? Where on earth will everyone park; AUD, Gun Club, Casino, Beer Museum & Incubator, more Office Space? He even said and included words "arts district". Really? The AUD is not part of Utica's arts district, so where's the kitchen sink?
What about a "History District" too? Nah, seems there's no room for Oneida County History with this executive, consider: Oneida County History: Furgit Abot It!.
December 27, 2016 - Nano is very much nano-sized, after 20+ years and no jobs for people making "computer chips"; so is more government created projects and positions all we can expect? So where is our County Executive trying to lead us? Who's going to be willing to follow him...
"One Oneida Rising" mantra? Praise saving of some buildings/businesses, plan destruction of others? https://t.co/tVJW7OXrhd No support here! pic.twitter.com/aLTNc4teFu

So is more government, and a government-built museum a good follow-up to nano? Nano that's not yet happened - and that's after over 15 years? He'd bulldoze 34 acres for a 5th, inner-city, hospital district and then add a beer museum? Seems a beer museum is already in place, or should atleast be built in Utica's Brewery District near our brewery, right?
