Make sure you have “rainbow people” for the Pride committee. That is what mayor Paul Vagina wants.
This message board is nothing but a sewer.
Thanks Paul
If you’re going to spew homophobic, misogynist filth, at least have the stones to sign your name.
Ok Karen
Rude and childish comment. Your parents must be proud!
Given the average age of the commenters here, their parents probably died with the rotary phone.
I applied one year but when I told the Rec Comm that I wanted to stop the encroachment my interview ended.
love theses people the whole town has gone to sh$t and they are complaining about a comment on the blog; dummies gave up the right to vote on the school budget ; voted for these narcissistic lying dimwits, the cbd looks like crap; village services suck;roads go unpaved ; the village continues to chase business out of here; schools are mediocre at best ,;home prices stagnate; rampant crime in the state ; highest taxes in the universe; high density housing has destroyed the charm of the village , to quote James Rose ,”the problem is you live here”
got to agree with James Rose but he omitted all the self serving projects that allow council members and their friends to make out at taxpayer expense , save the arse kissing and phony virtue signaling for after the streets get paved…..
not a fan of name called but if you voted for these folks you deserve it
Here fixed that fer ya:
sycophant
Who would want to serve on any of these committees with the sleaze pack in control? One of them would more than likely be the liaison, and you might have to listen to their bullshit at least once a month. Unless you serve on one of the Vag’s committees. He does nothing of value for the town. He doesn’t serve on the Planning Board like every other mayor ever. The Vag is just there to serve his masters, not the wider village residents.
