Last week’s forum at the public library was ridiculous and poorly moderated. There is a reason the League of Women Voters are trained in conducting these candidate forums. That every candidate is asked and responds to the same question within a specific time frame is correct procedure and would have prevented the lengthy, unprofessional, and ongoing spat between the two presidential candidates. Next time, allow the OP-RF LWV do what they do best.
That being said, building a new brick-and-mortar village hall when most everything residents need to do can be accomplished through remote technology and ingenuity, is a preposterous and costly venture. That is why I will vote for Ravi Parakkat for board president. A new village hall is an exercise in vanity with complete disregard for the present and future taxpayers who must foot the bill for a building that belongs in Mayberry.
And about those leaves …
