By this standard, does "The Bee" poster suggest that if the collective members of the Town Council fail to satisfactorily "speak out" or otherwise fully "represent" the interests of the residents, it is incumbent, in descending order, upon the Town Clerk, the Town Justices, and finally the Library Trustees to do so?
This, in my opinion, is an inappropriate expectation bordering on utter nonsense, and is suggestive of a rogue misuse of the Town Clerk's office.
Would it not be more proper to attach the expectation of representation to the current candidates for the appropriate office(s)?
Or, should Lancaster turn its present government structure on its head, and while the Town Clerk represents the interests of the residents and engages in the legislative process, the Supervisor can call the roll and record the single vote, while Council Members collect the taxes and issue dog licenses?
Yikes, a voter education program would seem appropriate.
