How can the Town Council put the Cheshire youth Football on the agenda when they have broken the IRS laws. I would expect that the council delay any action. Based on the following information the CYB, CYS and a few others were forwarding this clearly violation of IRS laws.
They broke the law and should pay the penalty. Of course they think they are above the law.

Message from Cheshire Junior Football and Cheerleading Board of Directors:
Dear Parents:
We would like to make you all aware of an important topic that has received much discussion of late and is very important to Cheshire Junior Football and Cheerleading (CJF). The Turf Field at Cheshire High School.
As you know, CJF has only one complex at which we are able to play our games; Cheshire High School. Our use of the game field is very limited due to its poor condition and the fact that high school programs take precedence over us. The natural grass game field has been steadily deteriorating over the years as more and more events are hosted on the field, many of which have know where else to go. The field simply cannot handle the number of events played on it. As a result, CJF is forced to play many of our games on the adjacent practice field which is in deplorable condition and sometimes virtually unplayable. One solution to this lack of viable field space is the installation of an artificial turf field (Turf) at the high school complex, replacing the current natural grass field. The installation of Turf at the high school complex will provide for substantially more usage without concern for field conditions or weather. Some of these uses are football, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, baseball, band, graduation, community events, relay for life, and yes, a safe and viable place for CJF to host its home games. A place we can be proud of. A Turf field can even be used in the winter months after snow removal. Many towns are currently playing on Turf fields and are experiencing very positive results.
Cheshire is very fortunate. Through the hard work of a few people, Cheshire has been given a Grant in the amount of $525,000 by the State of Connecticut specifically for improvements to and installation of Turf at the high school game field. This amount goes a long way to getting this field built which is estimated to cost between $600,000 and $750,000, depending on field choice and company. The balance will hopefully be raised privately providing for little or no cost to local taxpayers. This would be a huge improvement of facilities available to CJF and will benefit our program immensely. Although this issue has become a bit of a political hotbed, we truly believe that the installation of an artificial turf field at the high school complex will drastically improve playing conditions for CJF players and cheerleaders and will be instrumental to our success into the foreseeable future.
We understand that the following individuals running for election on Tuesday are supportive of this effort. If you believe in the Turf project, please consider a vote for the following Turf supporters:
Town Counsel: Board of Education:
Justin Adinolfi - At Large Bob Behrer
Matt Altieri - At Large
Michael Ecke - At Large
Kerrie Dunne - At Large
Sheldon Dill - 1st District
Matt Bowman - 2nd District
Laura DiCaprio - 3rd District
Peter Talbot - 4th District aiding an organization that has committed a criminal offence.
CYF although listed under a different IRS code must follow the rules listed below.
Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are
> absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or
> intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to)
> any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political
> campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on
> behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for
> public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign
> activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of
> tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.
>
> Certain activities or expenditures may not be prohibited depending on the
> facts and circumstances. For example, certain voter education activities
> (including presenting public forums and publishing voter education guides)
> conducted in a non-partisan manner do not constitute prohibited political
> campaign activity. In addition, other activities intended to encourage
> people to participate in the electoral process, such as voter registration
> and get-out-the-vote drives, would not be prohibited political campaign
> activity if conducted in a non-partisan manner.

> On the other hand, voter education or registration activities with evidence
> of bias that (a) would favor one candidate over another; (b) oppose a
> candidate in some manner; or (c) have the effect of favoring a candidate or
> group of candidates, will constitute prohibited participation or
> intervention.

The New TChas 30 days to appoint a new Town Attorney. It was obvious that the TA followed and gave his opinion after receiving orders from the Majority Democrats on the TC. He never ever gave an opinion in favor of a Republican request
I don't see Cheshire Youth Football? Where do you see it?
You are correct, Youth Football is NOT on the agenda. Youth Baseball IS on the agenda. Appears people cannot read or chose to read what they want.
My only question about the consession stand is, why are they building a new pad site in the middle of the parking lot when there is an existing pad next to the rest rooms?
True; Youth base ball is on the agenda. but note original message was sent from CYB/CYS.
They have all allegedly violated IRS rules
Cyb and cys is Cheshire youth baseball and Cheshire youth softball. Nothing including football. Stop trying to look deeper for nothing
Read the letter above sent out from the Cheshire Youth Football Board of Directors. I suggest that they all contact the proper IRS and admit they made a mistake.
My, my, my how the guilty quickly want to forget their transgressions. Here's a refresher: http://www.myrecordjournal.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=20391483&BRD=2755&PAG=461&dept_id=594803&rfi=8
"The decision to send out the e-mails was made by the entire board of directors of Cheshire Junior Football, Oris said."
Congratulations to the Cheshire High School football team for winning the State LL Football Championship today.
They should put the CYB concession stand more near the pool(not near the Yellow House). CYB says they'll use it mostly in the Spring & Fall. Why couldn't the pool people use it in the summer so that some more decent food offerings can be available to the people using the pool.
Speaking of the pool, why is it closed?
The Attorney General already has power of subpoena in certain circumstances, such as antitrust.
Does this include bid-rigging?
which bids are you refering?
"Why couldn't the pool people use it in the summer so that some more decent food offerings can be available to the people using the pool."
Yes because most people (all three of them) using the pool in the summer want to gorge on hot dogs, soda and candy before jumping into the pool.
