Nothing wrong with assuming that, after all, what is there to hide, or not divulge to the public? But, lies by omission are common, and are seldom caught at this level. The commenter above just happened to catch one, and we now deserve to know the reason behind the altered minutes. I don't think it will happen. Could they be dancing as fast as they can now that they've been busted? Let's not hold our collective breath on this one.Wally Herseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052949223548827269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377411732843394854.post-21619079966611457022011-11-30T23:51:42.469-05:002011-11-30T23:51:42.469-05:00Those minutes are missing a lot of information.

Under the heading Town Counsel, that was a meeting that lasted at least a couple hours and covered a couple different topics but there's only one short paragraph, the motion, and then a couple more sentences? <br /><br />They talked with Mr. Bard for at least an hour about renewing the contract with his office and they spent that whole hour talking about how he's messed up and made mistakes during the prior year. There were several people in the audience who were there and just shook their heads every time Joel Bard opened his mouth. <br /><br />This is our government in action folks. And by the way, the contract with that attorney's office was renewed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
