So what happened here? I certainly did not expect Drake to get ousted. Did the other younger [R] Drake cause confusion to some of the voters? Did they pull the wrong lever giving the wrong Drake the desired vote? Did the presence of Kay Doheny's name in the voting booth steal some votes away from Drake? Or is it something else. Are the voters in the village taking charge of their village? Is this retribution for all the VB antics of the past year? Did Drake take a hit for being part of this board. Two other board members resigned earlier this summer for reasons that are mysterious or suspicious...... Two board members remain and they are both up for re-election in November 2009. I wonder what their fate will be next fall, what will be their choice:.....run for re-election or just quietly fade away averting the truth of the voting booth...........................

Peeee-JAMES, can't you just accept your buddy and informer Drake got dusted. It wasn't a mix-up with the other Drake and/or Doheney. The public has spoken! What does it tell us and mayor Robb that the two candidates that wanted to be appointed for the buba/birch positions and weren't, ended up being elected by the people for the people. It tells us they should have been appointed in the first place. It also proves that Robbs appointment of Drake(the head of the village democratic party) was not in the best interest of the taxpayers! Maybe Robb is trying to secure his bid for re-election next year by playing the game in co-hoots.
Are the appointments just done by the mayor or the VB as a whole? I assume the mayor. To much power then.
Informer? Are you kidding me? Drake was purposely left in the dark on alot of the shenanigans that have gone on over the past year. To answer your question........The mayor makes the appointments.
Pguston, the village results tell me that not one of the candidates or maybe one maybe that u wanted and supported got in. Where is all your influence. How many canditates did as you and Chris Williams wanted and blogged about their campaign on your sites. NOBODY with any brains, that's for sure. NOBODY who really wanted to get in either.
humm.. the only candiate I supported this time around was Aubertine.. so not really sure what the hell anonymous said is jabbering about..
