TOWN BOARD: The "Briefing"...?


So..... what was the outcome of the high-level "briefing" with the Town Attorney which took place Monday (2/29) morning according to the Town Supervisor???.. see he has been active in updating his campaign against Magee, but has no time to update the Town Taxpayers .... or post minutes on the Town website....or report individually, as Supervisor, report to the Town like Rossi in Hamilton and Goldstein in Lebanon.  

Thanks to his "Rules of Decorum" which restricts the type of questions the public can ask) .... we have no idea what goes on at the Town Board level (even when you ATTEND these meetings)...but we see constant updates on his campaign...

We need to have these questions answered:

1.  Who has the authority to re-instate the Town Board and Highway Superintendent positions?

2.   Will these elected officials have to run for office again in NOVEMBER as was the situation in Oswego where they now have to run for re-election even though their original terms did not end until 2017.  So will we now have three new positions to add to the November ballot?

3.   How far back did these " technical" "vacancies" occur and what are the implications for the retirement and other benefits that may have been received by them during their "vacancy" period?

Nice to see that our Supervisor took care of himself with the rest of the County Supervisors...too bad he could not extend this kind of organization to his own colleagues on the Town Board.

Frankly, the oath is a hoax!  You lose everything if you don't take it (even by mistake) but if you BREAK the oath -- intentionally -- your fellow politicians will make sure you can keep your pension ..benefits and job:  SILVER, LIBOUS, SKELOS,  Honor among thieves???
