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.

When I saw this piece written about Peter Case, I was appalled. Could GennaRose Nethercott be referring to the same Peter Case who has volunteered robust amounts of time and energy for Groundworks? Or perhaps she's addressing the fact that he spearheaded “Load the Latchis” for so many years? Is she really talking about the same guy, who serves as president of Black Mountain Assisted Family Living, once again dedicating his time and energy in service to our most vulnerable...
