The Patels are a great pillar of the Yorktown Community.

Thank you for this commentary Mrs. Siegel. There is a need for clearly stated and observedRead More rules. At both courtesy of the floor and public hearings, speakers have been subjected to arguments critical of their views during and after their statements. How many people have been discouraged from speaking at town board meetings knowing that they will be subjected to a cross examination?

I don't know if Siegel did violate this rule or if she didn't. But I have been in the audienceRead More numerous times when Michael Grace interrupted "Courtesy of the Floor" speakers, when it would have been interesting to hear what they had to say for the rest of us. He did that many times. Many. Times. It was obvious that his comments were more important than the residents who chose to speak at a Town Board meeting. It was rude, and it was clearly meant to throw the speakers off their thoughts. Lawyers. Phooey.

Just how many times did YOU violate this rule when you were supervisor? [Speakers were limited toRead More three minutes — and were timed. Typically, they were allowed to finish a sentence when the buzzer sounded, but not much more. If they had more to say, they waited until the second Courtesy at the end of the meeting.]

I don't like the new layout either. I can't find anything, and most of the "comments"Read More have been deleted.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
