Super Majority Passes Amended to the Amended 10-yr Bond

Starting the 9PM meeting right on time a few minutes past 10PM, the Town Board moved as quickly as ever to pass the amended to the originally amended bond resolution authorizing the 5.5 million dollar bond to pay for the guilty verdict fine imposed on the taxpayers by the courts because of Mr Feiner, Ms Juettner and the Towns discriminatory practices and constitutional violations. The meeting started late as the Board members were at an elected officials dinner elsewhere and ambled in at their leisure. Mr Feiner was absent as his father is, according to Mr Sheehan, “gravely ill”. Apparently, this dinner was more important than running the Town and dealing with the financial gravity brought upon us by them.

At the previous days work session and subsequent Town Board meeting, Mr Sheehan protested that he would carry over the bond resolution as it was added to the agenda without enough time for the public to review it. Seemingly concerned about doing the right thing, his behavior had many thinking he was interested in what was affecting the public. Those of us who gleaned a ray of hope for our town were quickly disappointed as that flickering light went dead. It was nothing more than mere posturing.

As the Board members arrived, they were discussing amendments to be made to the amended resolution they left their dinner to vote on. The original bond resolution had several flaws in it which were pointed out by residents and Mr Sheehan during the Town Board meeting last night. At that time Mr Lewis insisted that the financing of the bond would only be paid for by the Unincorporated Town residents. But the resolution said otherwise. At some point during the day, the Board amended that original resolution. But since they found going to their dinner more important than addressing this significant piece of legislation, they still appeared unprepared as they entered the main hall to vote.

Moving faster that than a speeding bullet, the amended version of the amended version of the $5.5 million, 10-year bond resolution was adopted. Then in a four to zero super majority vote, they passed the resolution ti issue the bond and adjourned the meeting. Done deal, done again. Someday we will see a change in this ragged, seat of the pants behavior. Only then will we get A Better Greenburgh.
