For those of you that missed the Stockbridge Village Council Meeting, you might be interested to know:
1. There is a $45,000 mistake in the budget created by your former Village manager. And it's not to the good. (shocking, right? eh, not so much)
2. There is an additional mistake in the budget created by your former Village manager to the tune of about $27,000. Again, it's not to the good. (and again, we are just shocked - not)
Free Advice: Go to the Village Offices. Ask for a copy of the budget. Ask to be shown these particular mistakes and how it will affect the bottom line of your Village.
More Free Advice: Show up for these meetings. It looks as if the current council is laying everything on the table, and practicing transparency in government. (which for this Village is something new and different)
Free Suggestion: If you should happen to see Trustee Joe Pena anywhere, you might want to ask him why he doesn't come to meetings. (just a thought)
URBAN LEGEND DE-BUNKED: Evidently the Village of Stockbridge really does have a motorcycle for police patrol. Honest - some citizens have actually seen it on the street! We will gladly post pics of said officer and motorcycle - send them to us at: stockbridgecitizenherald@gmail.com.
Update on Deficit Elimination Plan: There is now a Deficit Elimination Plan. Current Village Manager Ford and others have put together a plan for the deficit that occurred in fiscal year ending 2010, and the additional deficit for fiscal year ending 2011. (Yes, additional. You know who to thank for that, right?) Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
and finally:
It has come to our attention that certain citizens felt that the cemetery clean up was nothing more than a big fat waste of time, and that council members there could have better spent their time on other issues more pressing.
Really? Really? What kind of moron thinks that?
And if that is how you really feel - tuff %*@&.
Nothing bad can be said or even thought about the cemetery clean up. That was a great example of citizens pulling together under the leadership of their own choosing for the greater good. BTW, the cemetery look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI particularly enjoyed Kunzelman's remarks at the Council meeting about whether or not someone was going to have the cemetery all cleaned up for Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see him anywhere at the Cemetery Clean Up.
Maybe he was wearing a disguise.
Maybe he was wearing his Invisibility Cloak.
Maybe he just had better things to do.
Maybe he should learn to put his money where his mouth is.
Amen to both of the above comments, and I encourage you to be a follower and be proud that you took the time to read and comment,but I also understand if you want to remain anonymous. Yes, what a waste of time to clean up a place with over a hundred years of history that honors our beloved ones who have passed before us, such as my Father, my Grandfather, and my Grandmother, what a waste of time. What dipshit, moron, idiot would say something like that??????? I'm never surprised at the idiocrocy, and if I spelled that wrong, you know what I meant. Idiots!!!! Thank you SO much to all of you who took the time to clean up the cemetary.
