From what I understand a couple of things happened:
1) The TB approved a law (no referendum) providing for term limits (2). I guess the residents have no say anymore in whether they want term limits or the ability to keep someone in office that is doing a good job based on the majority of residents that voted. Tell me who would take the Town Clerk or Highway Superintendent jobs for only 8 yrs?
2) The TB passed a rule that if an individual wishes to speak during a hearing, suspension of rules, etc. & either are or have been a town employee or on some town committee, you have to declare so before you speak. What about individuals that belong to special interest groups, election committees for TB members, etc? I guess they want to be able to be selective on whose view points on a subject are valid.
Also I have heard from residents in Tonawanda that the cheap totes they bought are not holding up (critters biting holes through the plastic & the hinges for the lids are breaking apart).
