I agree, this Council and Village Administrators need to stop the madness. Why are they in such a rush to finish everything? I know terms are almost up, but jeez…do you have to finish every project ever mentioned? Seems like egos want credit for everything. Too bad their ego blinded them. They can’t see it’s not development, it’s destruction of an entire Village.
Compliance with Open Public Meetings Act? Well now there’s the joke of jokes.
Make no mistake, each checked-off rushed mondo-project is intended only as a new item for P.A.’s C.V. He will then leave and never look back. Gosh, I wish I believed in Hell.
Complain when they never do anything, and complain when they do things to fast for your taste.
