I’ve just read where the village of Wellsville has scheduled
a public hearing on the village budget on April 13th.
In good conscience, considering social distancing and the
prohibition of assembling in groups of more than 10, how can the board do this?
1. Are they just
being vengeful and stupid because the order came from the desk of our Democrat
Governor?
2. Do they just not
care that they are usurping citizens rights by holding the hearing that most
will not come to because of the coronavirus guidelines?
3. Have they even
made the effort to have their meeting live streamed by say, Genesee Valley
Media?
4. Or do they just
intend to pass their budget, as in the past, after the hearing is closed?
As a long-time resident of Wellsville, I find this action
unconscionable and taking advantage of the situation without regard for the
people they govern.
Why are they even gathering for meetings at this time? They
should Live Stream the meeting allowing for comment or put off the passing of the
budget until a time when people can safely gather to comment on it.
