New Softball Field in Wrong Place

As Valhalla's Fields are contaminated, and everyone is realizing that we have been lied to and continue to be lied to, it should not be lost that Valhalla has been cited by the NY state comptroller for violating the law by entering into a capital project (the fill for fields deal) with out voter approval, operating an illegal and we know now toxic dump with out state permit. That may sound strange, a school district needing a permit to operate a toxic dump but this is Valhalla and strange is commonplace. They were cited for illegally spending money on the fill for fields deal, illegally leasing the artifical turf, illegally purchasing the artifical turf when they realized they were illegally leasing it.

We also point out in the Valhalla Voice, the back stop for the new softball field sits in play in the baseball centerfield. When team benches, ondeck areas and fan bleachers are added, the softball field starts to extend toward the baseball shortstop. As a result, if every these fields are reopenend after we spend miilions to remedy the toxic mess (Eastchester will spend $2.5 million on one field alone) We will have to maintain four fields to play two games as two games can not be played simultaneously on the $2.5 million fields (plus what ever has been spent to date)

Too bad these issues continue to cost the taxpayers to correct the mistakes of an incompetent administration.

Well the fields are contaminated, with carcinogens. The DEP has taken over control of the Fields, the What Me Worry superintendent is talking about the spring season being played on the contaminents and the parents are, as usual, silent. They will not even speak out to protect their children from these educrats. Congratualtion to the parents who are now speaking out.
