Tuesday night’s (Alma) town board meeting was even more egregious
than the last! The town board voted to move $10,000 from the $15,000
contingency fund to apply towards attorney fees. Then they would not read the
bills to be paid; out loud; as they have done in the past, I believe that this
may be to keep the legal fees they are running up from being known by the
taxpayers of Alma. One man spoke up and stated that he was a town of Alma
taxpayer and wanted to know how our tax dollars were being spent. The town
supervisor refused stating that the towns of Wirt and Wellsville don't read
they're bills aloud, and the State wants it handled that way! The town board
supervisor then stated that the meeting was for town board; insinuating that
the town board has no responsibility to its citizens? With the trouble between the town board and so
many of Alma's taxpayers this only makes things so much worse! What have they
got to hide? How much longer will this insanity continue? They're job is to
protect and serve our town... that's what they were elected to do!
