Tragicomedy in Niagara County
BILLBOARD NOT SO WELCOME A SIGN:
Lockport stockbroker Lee J. Bordeleau has followed through on his plan to erect a billboard declaring that Niagara County has the nation's highest taxes.Bordeleau's billboard on South Transit Road (Route 78), just north of the border with Erie County, will be up for two months.
It states: "Welcome to Niagara County. We're # 1. We pay the highest property taxes in the United States. Too many government agencies employing too many workers, making too much money! Help us free Niagara! Go to FreeNewYork.org."
The Web site is Internet headquarters for a small-government group that arose out of Buffalo attorney James Ostrowski's Free Buffalo movement.
