Cayuga County Office Building - Asbestos Issue - Revisited With Costs
Hey Cayuga County...if you were curious how much an asbestos abatement project costs...
...Forbes posted a nice article that was updated June 27, 2024, called "How Much Does Asbestos Removal Cost In 2024?".
Have fun with your current elected corrupt clowns running that abatement project for you! Just wait until after the election when you get the bad news about the astronomical increase in taxes you are going to see due to the cost of financing that abatement project, the ridiculous cost overruns from poor management and corruption of the process...then the class action lawsuit will commence.
But Hey Cayuga County...just trust them and vote straight party line....because that is exactly what they told you to do...Good Girlz and Boyz! Here is a Scooby snack! š¤
All kidding aside Cayuga County...you better get your act in order on the asbestos abatement project, or your county will go bankrupt...I promise.
If you want to know how much it is going to cost you, then take a look at this article: "Cayuga County Office Building renovation, expansion proposed", updated August 9, 2022...and do the math.
...you might also want to ask yourself why only a little over two years ago...the "vermiculite" issue did not seem to exist to anyone...on paper.
Please vote the corrupt clowns out of office everywhere across our United States of America....

Another developing story in Cayuga County, NY that may be of interest to environmental lawyers and environmental health and safety professionals relates to an asbestos issue in the Cayuga County Office Building.Ā The building was built in 1966 and weather caused serious damage to the roof and later what county officials referred to as vermiculite.Ā Cayuga County officials later revised this to āvermiculite asbestosā.
It would be nice if an environmental law firm or an organization like Mesothelioma Hope, could offer Cayuga County an āAsbestos Awareness ā Rights and Responsibilitiesā workshop at the local high school or the local community college.Ā Given the number of county employees and residents who may be impacted, such a workshop could help raise awareness of county employees and county residents as to the potential hazards of asbestos and what individual and employee rights and responsibilities include.
