    Amherst supervisor wants term limit law amended so he can run for board

    Can Amherst Town Supervisor Barry A. Weinstein stay? Or should he go?
    Weinstein has made no secret of the fact that he's interested in staying on the Town Board, but there's a question about whether he's even eligible to run for a council seat due to term limits imposed by town law.
    Now, Weinstein has hinted that he may propose amending the law, to clear up any confusion about whether he can seek one of two council seats to be vacated after his second term expires this year.
    "That might be coming next week," he said Friday about a proposed amendment to the local law.

    Do these term limits prevent a council board member who has been on the board for 10 yrs prevent a run for supervisor? Seems if the law works one way it should work the other way.

    I do not believe an amendment is needed as the Office of Town Supervisor and the Office of Council Member are two different offices even though both serve on the Town Board.

    This was an argument raised by the stooge town attorney who jumps just as high as the retard Debbie Bucki tells him to. That's all it is.
