“The arrogance of this email is mind boggling. I have no idea who this guy is but to think that him and his very small group of activists can force out duly elected officials cause they don’t like how they question administrators is incredible. To the OVOV group, your “people” are no longer on the board, instead of trying to move the goal posts under some guise of saving some money and keeping the students safe, why don’t you, as you say on your website, try and improve voter participation in this town. I don’t think anyone would disagree with a strategy where instead of spending your time and money suing the town, spend it on getting voters to turn out for local elections? As to being so fiscally responsible and seeking to save this Village money, how many of the OVOV crew wanted to spend the $11mm on the useless parking garage or want the performing arts center…..the inconsistencies in this groups mission are pretty glaring. They want one thing and one thing only…control. If they can’t gain this in getting their people elected, they will try other means and that is what we are seeing now. Having a vote on the budget allows residents a check and balance on the BOE which must stay intact if we want sensible taxes and proper allocation of said taxes throughout the system. Don’t be fooled by the fear mongering of OVOV….at the end of the day they don’t care about saving money or keeping kids safe, they care about getting back the control they have lost. As a side note, just have a look at the motley crew of supporters they have, do you really trust them?”
