You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours

Reciprocation, Cooperation, and Sharing are words that sum up the above topic.  It is a two way street, give AND take.....

The Village received some bad news the other night when we found out the Upper James St Dock is structurally unsound.  The day after the village meeting, The VB sent one of its delegates to ask TS Millett if the town would assist with the cost of fixing the village dock.   She said she would present it to the Town Board meeting that night. 

Lots of suggestions and comments were made when this was presented to the Town Board.  Here are somethings that were said by TB members:

  • We helped the village out when the town took over the ice arena [sarcasm].
  • We do not receive any revenue from the village docks...
  • Tell them to have a raffle.....
  • Sorry it is not in our budget... [ reference to the town asking for a community discount at the village golf course]
  • An inaudible comment about the Police Department......
[In my opinion, the TB politely told the VB to FO]
All of these comments can be heard starting at about 18minutes
