A 600 % increase for the position of treasurer?
After 12/20th meeting hasn't the board realized that the Village want their two remaining full time Police to remain. There was no more room in the building and people were standing outside to make that point.
It's also disturbing how badly Village workers are treated, bringing some to tears. I feel disheartened that a Village official would cause this to happen.
March cannot come soon enough.

Mr. Welch.
The power of office is not for the weak willed, that's for sure.
The true test of a person's inner strength is not when at the face of advercity, but after they are give power of authority.

What in Sam Hill is the justification for a 600% salary increase for the treasurer and a 100% salary increase for the fiscal auditor. This is outrageous! Now all we need is for the school board to jump on the bandwagon again and tell us there is a humongous tax increase because we have to accommodate a mass influx of students from the closed catholic school and that we just don't have the facilities to do it! While the government and state has put the screws to us taxpayers our local politicians might as well finish us retired people off and run us out of town. What a nice community we have, huh? I can't wait untill the election and it is high time everyone starts beating the bushes to pass the word to help run all of these politicians out of town like they are trying to do to us.

Jan Smith, who is apparently a highly experienced fiscal auditor and accountant with 35 years of experience at West Point, is running for trustee. So let's leave the auditor's salary alone, elect Smith and have her pick up the apparent load that demands a doubling of the auditor's salary.

Andrew, by the way, you need to post the URLs for your videos as actual links--there's a way to do that--rather than just typing them into your comments. When URLs are posted as links, you can just click on them and be taken there. With yours, I have to type the whole thing into the address window, and it usually takes a a couple of tries before I get it right.
We do, of course, have the option of going to YouTube and doing a search for ArgenioAndrew and then finding the video, so it's not a big deal. But a clickable link would make it even easier.
