WTF?? Salka is at it again...

UPDATE:  And isn't it interesting that the AGENDA for that meeting was never posted on the Town website...they were AFRAID that people would show up at the MEETING ! COWARDS ALL!
Just another under the radar move by Supervisor Salka and the Town Board... guess the rumor was true... and he snuck this by right after the deadline for anyone to file to run against him.  And now only one judge?  The VOTERS are the ones that should make that decision...... let's make it to the August 10 public meeting .... and wasn't this guy Salka a supporter of term limits ??  -- oh, right, for "others"....time to limit some terms around here. Hedging his bets to arrange to run for Magee's Assembly seat again?.... Starting to run the Town like the School.
