What a slap in the face to the dedicated citizens who performed admirably on that wind committee.<br /><br />Maybe the Councilmen you referred to need to grow some political balls and not be dominated like puppies by the supervisor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772501281254435766.post-43576268682899913492013-03-15T18:04:32.657-04:002013-03-15T18:04:32.657-04:00Seasonal residents of Clayton had better wake up a...Seasonal residents of Clayton had better wake up and start paying attention.<br /><br />Their government has not leveled with them. And that is ultimately their own fault. They have not generally been participants in the selection of their public servants. If they continue to be oblivious about that they can expect more of the same.Stay Focusednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772501281254435766.post-25009559110209946632013-03-15T16:22:51.722-04:002013-03-15T16:22:51.722-04:0011:59 AM

The noise was not objectionable to them ,and Justin Taylor decreed that the issue would be decided by them,since they were elected to make important decisions. 50 db's it is.<br /><br />Who could argue with such an empirical, objective study and determination.<br /><br />You just can't please everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772501281254435766.post-64536079953995008052013-03-15T10:48:44.184-04:002013-03-15T10:48:44.184-04:00Make sure you keep those minutes.

I found him to be less than honest about details I already knew, he was insulting and to me appeared to be very sneaky. He is not the man that I think should be in the government when such an important region changing threat is upon the Thousand Islands Region.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
