What I think it is that people only watch change as long as it doesn't effect them. Look at the town board of Cheektowaga. I think labor contracts are out of hand but when it's mostly friends/family on the receiving end including party control we won't see any changes. Period. Little BS changes but nothing that will make a major difference to the property/business owners.
Another thing that is against us property/business owners best interest is allowing party officers on the town board / supervisory positions.
I'm going to expand on this later week. I personally don't care about "party" rules and/or anyone's future political career. You put the property/business owners best interest first not political party rules/best interest first.
