    So she gets 15% and the Taxpayers feel they won. BS

    So Sheila M. Meegan gets a 15% pay raise and the WS Taxpayers should feel they won? BS. We the WS Taxpayers just got fleeced. She not only boosted her pay but also her pension since the next 3 years will be her best 3 years that NY State averages in. Hopefully she will retire after this term. She's a very shrewd businesswomen when it comes to her own finances. She asked for 29% knowing she will be happy with 15% and next year she may ask for another 15% and be happy with 7%.In this day for a politician to get a 15% pay raise just because they feel they deserves it is crazy.
    She took the job knowing what the pay and hours were. There are many taxpayers who come in early and stay late at their jobs with no extra pay, its a poor excuse and for Hanley to even defend her by mentioning that on TV showed us what he is all about. The 3 Stooges knew they had 2 votes to pass the budget. Then she he leaves the meeting again without taking any questions from the media. Not even a thank you.
    This was covered by much of the media and for her to walk away with a15% pay raise just showed WNY how complacent WS is. Imagine your supervisor today telling you your getting a 15% bump in pay, what a nice dream that would be? WS taxpayers just got ripped off big-time.

    I saw the amount of people that showed up and I'm sure the board knew it wasn't out of support. Don't know how it's legal for town employees to receive retroactive adjustments to pay, the majority of people see a few cents added spaced out between years. If anything it shows that towns like to make it sound like there's some transparency and people have a voice when the truth is they don't. Any attempt to play hardball with money in forms of tax is impossible in modern law.

    People will forget in a few years when her term is up, the town employees will work really hard to keep "good thing going," but the rest of the town will suffer with higher taxes.
