* The stormwater group does a lot of brainstorming, Payne said. It would be easy for the public to misinterpret what's being discussed and subsequently disseminate incorrect information."Town Board meetings have a lot of brainstorming and a lot of the bullsh*t could easily be misinterpreted, Councilman Payne. In order to keep the public from misinterpreting what is being discussed, perhaps we should close Town Board meetings, too.
Amazing...the Town Board tried to change Town Board meetings from twice a month to once a month to keep the public in the dark. But when the "3 Musketeers" on the Town Board found out that town board meeting minutes, by law, had to be given out within 2 weeks of the board meeting, the board voted to once again have 2 meetings a month. Guess your "closed" government didn't work for you that time either.
I have an idea...we could erect a statue of Earle Green in the center of the Village Park (and maybe one in Sherrillbrook Park too, just for good measure).
We could then install loud speakers throughout the town and disseminate only the information that the town board wants residents to believe as "the truth".
Next, either Reed, Reynolds or Payne could make a motion at the next Town Board meeting could that we rename the Town of New Hartford as the Town of Iraq!
We realize that not all residents are as smart as you Councilman Robert A. Payne, III, but I think members of Concerned Citizens for Honest & Open Government can adequately disseminate correct information. The information you don't want disseminated is the truth!
A vote for Ms. Krupa is a vote for closed government. On the other hand, Russ Cerminaro wants residents participation is government; Russ believes in following the Open Meetings Law mantra.
§100. Legislative declaration. It is essential to the maintenance of a democratic society that the public business be performed in an open and public manner and that the citizens of this state be fully aware of and able to observe the performance of public officials and attend and listen to the deliberations and decisions that go into the making of public policy. The people must be able to remain informed if they are to retain control over those who are their public servants. It is the only climate under which the commonwealth will prosper and enable the governmental process to operate for the benefit of those who created it.Concerned Citizens for Honest & Open Government is pleased to endorse Russ Cerminaro for Ward 2 Councilman in the Town of New Hartford!

Wow, that's terrible. You are really getting under their skin. Rather than punish the whole town, why don't they just start their own website and post rebuttals and excuses? They have to do it the cowardly way???
I would THINK that the Stormwater meetings would HAVE to be public, because they involve spending PUBLIC money. But then again, when has that mattered to the town, anyway...
Why was Jerry Green, Esq. (Town Attorney & puppet for Earle Reed) trying to explain why the Storm Water Advisory Committee meetings have to be closed? Rumor has it that he was trying to justify his existence and that of the Town Officials.
Jerry Green, Esq. should be familiar with the New York State Open Meetings Law, however, he feels brave when he attempts to belittle member(s) of the opposite sex. I guess his shortness has effected his ability to reason.
Seems this guy is one of those "attorneys" who have everything to say with no substance.
I wonder if Mr. Green is willing to buy a bridge in Brooklyn that is for sale?
Well I guess we just gave them a blank check for 2 mil to do with what they want.....Your welcome
I think that I could of beter ways to spend my money that I pay the town in taxes. I could do a lot with 2 millon bucks. but to just give to a select few and than not keep us in formed or shut us out of descusion as to how it is spent
