鈥淗e said, 鈥楲isten, I鈥檝e got a problem. I can鈥檛 use the property that you鈥檙e taxing me on. I cannot enjoy it, so therefore I鈥檓 not paying,鈥 成人X站 Radio鈥檚 John Curley said during the Tom and Curley Show on Monday.

, the founder of a payroll company called Paychex, owns a summer home on the shores of in the small town of South Bristol, New York. Lately, the home鈥檚 sprawling front yard has been turned into a toilet for the lake鈥檚 Canadian Geese population.

鈥淭here are between 100 to 200 Canadian geese that make his lawn a regular pooping place,鈥 Tom Tangney said.

According to Golisano, he鈥檚 tried fishing line, repellent spray, and a wolf decoy鈥攏one of which kept the geese at bay. The lawn is so saturated in goose poop, he said, that no one can go outside barefoot.

鈥淵ou can鈥檛 play croquet, or whatever rich people do in their big lawns,鈥 Tangney said.

Golisano claims it鈥檚 the city鈥檚 responsibility to do away with the geese. The city, however, disagrees. For now, the two sides are in a standoff.

鈥淲hat I don鈥檛 know, and this is why we can鈥檛 adjudicate it fairly, is I don鈥檛 know whose property those geese are. If he killed all the geese on his property, would that be okay because they鈥檙e nobody鈥檚 property and they鈥檙e just wild animals?鈥 Tangney said.

Here in Washington state at least, .

鈥淲e give them a break because they鈥檙e from Canada,鈥 Curley said.
