Paychex Founder Tom Golisano was at the Golisano Foundation offices in Pittsford today, where he announced he’s withholding a $90,000 local tax payment on his Canandaigua Lake home because of a geese problem.
The Billionaire philanthropist says a flock of geese, as many as 200 of the birds, are making his lawn unusable because of the waste the leave behind. He says it’s also a health hazard and he wants the Town of South Bloomfield to come up with a geese control plan before he releases the money.
Golisano says he’s taking this seriously even if other people might not. He says he can’t entertain on his yard or let his grandkids play there because of the goose poop….so it’s a real problem.
