“I find the Village Council’s response to tonight’s assault at the town council meeting simply atrocious. It is also beyond vile that one of the council members attempted to find reason for why the council took no responsibility to address the assault. To request that we find a better time to call the police? Yes, it was a shame it occurred during a feel good ceremony, but I certainly hope you are not insinuating that the attack was planned for that time. A town council with a sense of responsibility and care for its residents would have addressed the incident after the ceremony, not turn a blind eye. Nor would they try to find reason for turning a blind eye.
Let’s also remember that the alleged victim is someone who has been attacked repeatedly during these meetings for recording public meetings. Lead by example – what you have done is open the gates up to give others the sense of right to attack those who wish to record.
Shame on you. I hope your children and grandchildren weren’t watching – you certainly taught them an interesting lesson tonight.
“I totally agree. The Village Council should have called to have Don Delzio removed and banned from all future meetings. They clearly sent a message that this type of behavior is acceptable.
I had high hopes for Albert and Gwenn when I helped run a grass roots campaign to get them elected. Now they have not only turned their backs on residents by moving forward with this mammoth garage structure, they are allowing people like Don Delzio to intimidate other residents.
Hopefully, our new VC that will be voted in next summer can overturn the debacle that has been caused by poor representation. Look forward to getting a new VC and possible new VM who are more responsive to resident’s needs.
