SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 9-16-2022 Starting off this week’s report, I would like to write about something that is more of a reminder. That is the amount of Deer in our area this year. I am not sure if it is just me. However, I have seen a lot more deer on the sides of our area roads. These critters seem to have no fright of jumping into traffic and such. In fact, our own Town Clerk Dawn Stevens had damage to her car back in July from one of these fearless animals. Months later she still awaits repair of [...]

SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 8-19-2022 What a week! In an effort to be upfront and transparent of my personal choice in filling a vacant seat on the town council, I created some issues for my fellow town board members. I sincerely apologize to each and every one of them for this. I stand by my position and reasons for my views. However, maybe I could have worded myself better. The Town Board did meet on Thursday August 18 th with over 40 people from the community attending the special meeting. Michelle Preston was appointed to fill Paula McGreevy’s unexpired term. [...]
