Ouch that hurts! As of today nothing about the Riverwalk Project was printed in the WDT. However the TI Sun left myself and fellow blogger JT at Abay.com in the dust. Cough Cough choke.......wheeze......Normally the deadline at the TI Sun is Monday at 5:pm. The special meeting held last night [Tuesday] where the VB explains the Riverwalk Funding is front page news in this weeks Sun. It appears that the editor can defy his own deadline........good to know. I want to share a few of the opening lines of the article in the Sun.
The Alexandria Bay VB held a special meeting March 31 to explain to the public why the village opted to decline federal stimulus money for the Riverwalk Project...........
EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC. That is a catchy phrase. Did they intend to explain all this to us [the public] via a newspaper article?
Maybe, Just Maybe you and I might have wanted to hear this explanation first hand? Some of us may have had specific questions or maybe there is something in the article that is vague?
Well fellow taxpayers we were denied that right to hear it first hand. So where do we go from here? I will tell you where to go.........to the store and buy your own copy of the TI Sun so that you will get the edited version of what went on at that meeting last night. Me? I am off to the AG's office.......
BTW that meeting did not have to be last night. It could have waited till another night. Then all of US that wanted to attend could have done so. I am starting to think the reason why the meeting was last night was because the VB wanted that info in this weeks TI SUN ...........ain't that a bitch?
Your Rights to Open Meeting Laws and a Transparent Local Govt have been compromised.....
