The owners – Stephen (Steve) Apkon and Marcina Lee Hale-Cristobal – approached the Town of Rochester about purchasing the building.

Supervisor Baden signed a contract, but… the voters will need to approve the purchase on December 7, in a referendum scheduled only after the deal ran out of secrecy.

Some eyebrow-raising points in the contract:

After the deal became public, August 2nd was not good anymore, so let’s date it September 20th…

Excellent incentive for trying to sell the rink to the Town of Rochester…

Wow! Closing on December 1, referendum on December 7…

Huh?

Why the rush?

This one takes the cake!

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
