Reader says the Village Council needs to stop allowing special interests like Valley Hospital and other real estate developers to determine our agenda
Our leadership needs to start thinking beyond the next election cycle and stop allowing special interests like Valley Hospital and other real estate developers to determine our agenda. We have been in a reactive mode for too long and need an elected official without a personal agenda to map out a vision for the future in a more collaborative way.
Right now we have 3 council members that vote as a block – since they have a majority, they get to decide which of their individual pet projects will get approved first. Do we want these 3 people or ANY 3 people to be able to decide what happens to our town? What they are doing is just wrong. I’m sure that some lawyer out there will say that it’s legal, but that doesn’t make it any less wrong.
They created a Master Plan and soon after the exceptions started.
If I had endlessly deep pockets I would find a great lawyer and sue these boards and council for what they have been doing to prevent what they seem to want to do to us forever. How can they sleep at night? Some legacy. Thanks.
