Letters to the Editor Thursday, Feb. 11 | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Not getting money’s worth in Niskayuna It is discouraging to see that our taxes in Niskayuna are going up again. What exactly are we seeing with these increases? For one, I am not exactly sure. Since Fieldstone Acres opened on Consaul Road, our water taxes have gone through the roof. I believe the HOA fees paid by those who live there should accommodate any water and sewage issues caused by the integration into the town sewer system. Since we started paying for lawn and leaf pick up, I see less service than in the surrounding townships. Let’s not even discuss loose leaf pick up. In December, I shouldn’t have to see leaves raked into the road and over the white line from inconsiderate people. These leaves do become hazards when they are wet and cold.
