With all the paper work and files to uncover and make sense of - the new Village Government should contact the Office of the State Comptroller - http://www.osc.state.ny.us/index.htm

They can help audit past actions and records to evaluate past practices.

With the old guard bailing out so abruptly that signals a need for a keen eye.

There's no shame in asking for services that are offered by the State - that's why they are there. They will look at the IDA and Government finance and contracts - just ask.

If the new people just try and muddle through and learn as they go - you may wake up bankrupt and not know why it happened.

- All multi year service contracts from companies outside of Depew should be reexamined.
