There is ample precedent for revoking a PILOT. In fact, the Town of Hempstead IDA will be
holding a public hearing in early 2017 to consider revoking a PILOT from a company that,
unlike CPV, is not embroiled in any criminal wrongdoing. Legal action by CPV, which ought to
be expected if the PILOT is revoked, should not be considered a deterrent.
You and your colleagues at the IDA spent a number of years dutifully studying and negotiating
the PILOT with CPV. Your work deserves to be respected by the applicant.
More importantly, the law-abiding taxpayers who subsidize this PILOT deserve to be respected.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
James Skoufis
Member of Assembly
