The evening of 2022-07-11 was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
It was a pretty straightforward meeting, although there was some interesting discussion around ‘home rule‘.
Recently, the State had overruled the local decision of another Town. While this has no direct bearing on Mendon at this time, there was some talk about the potential repercussions. ‘If it happened there, it could happen here‘ and that sort of thing. Valid concerns. On paper, we are a Republic. In practice, it’s more Imperial Rule. Which is ironically fitting, as we do live in the ‘Empire State‘.
And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that, in the interests of full disclosure, a tiny portion of the $108,540.26 in vouchers approved at this meeting will go to my pocket, as I have done work for the Town.
And those are my Observations From Audience Land for the July 11, 2022 meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
