The December
8 board meeting was another display of a Town Board with no leadership or
direction and rife with contempt for the Public. Rather than addressing issues most important
to this community they clearly demonstrated that they are a Board “deaf” to the
community and its needs. To add insult
to injury the Town Board not only REFUSED to consider a Ban on Hydrofracking ,
Supervisor Salka had the unmitigated
gall to present a four page list of rules for conducting future meetings. The objective is to clearly point out that
the PUBLIC is there only to “OBSERVE” –
if you have something to say, that is what a PUBLIC MEETING is for. So, basically, Salka and his Board advocates
a “SIT DOWN & SHUT UP” attitude toward the public.
I will follow
up with notes on the meeting, but this display of contempt for the public is an
outrageous act against the community. Respect is EARNED.
