Carole Osterink was at last night's informal Common Council meeting in Hudson and reports that Holcim attorney Donald Stever and O&G's Kenneth Faroni sent a letter in response to one from CC president Donald Moore, and anyone following the current waterfront discussion in Hudson will find it and the comments on Osterink's Gossips of Rivertown blog fascinating. Osterink also says that, "Mayor Scalera reported that CSX had agreed to repair the Ferry Street bridge in time for the Flag Day parade. They will replace the rotted planking 'to get through the weekend' and put plywood on the footbridge. CSX also said they would 'try to put it in some capital plan.'" NY Senator Chuck Schumer will attend the Flag Day parade, and Osterink says Scalera will show him the bridge then, and ask for help.
