Public hearing scheduled on town offices bond vote

NEWFANE — NEWFANE - The Selectboard has warned a public hearing to discuss the town offices bond re-vote.

At the Oct. 3 regular Board meeting, member Mike Fitzpatrick suggested Saturday, Oct. 29, explaining that the date might allow more people to attend. He cited numerous complaints from residents who said the weeknight meetings for the first town offices bond vote prevented their attendance.

The Board set the time at 1 p.m. Vice-Chair Carol Hatcher said the midday meeting might ensure that even more residents attend.

The Selectboard unanimously voted, minus the absent Marion Dowling, to set the informational hearing on the town offices bond re-vote for Saturday, Oct. 29, at 1 p.m. at the NewBrook Fire Station. All are welcome.

Ostensibly, this crisis is different, spawned by an unseen biological agent rather than the standard dose of late-stage capitalist destruction. But one could argue that workers are now being victimized by both. As the Coronavirus spreads and the economy implodes, we are left with $1,200 (if you fit the proper categories, e.g. not homeless, not married to a migrant, etc.), military flyovers, and a few...
