I hope DM sues...Sadly the 160K to be paid to lawyers won't include the costly judgments individuals will be collecting against the town!

I hope DM sues...Sadly the 160K to be paid to lawyers won't include the costly judgments individuals will be collecting against the town!

On what grounds?

That the supervisor had no damn right  to fire her for starters?

ENJOY THE SHOW!

97.11 A Resolution approving the rezoning of the lands of Thomas E. DeLorenzo and

Interesting resolution.  It gives no detail about the "rezone".   Don't the resolutions normally state the current zoning and the proposed zoning?   Oh I forgot, that only happens in the real world...not Rotterdam.

dirty bastards....they all are and they are all from the same school yard.....

Let me say.....FDG is as dumb as a fox!! The guy ran on transparency....and by God he is doing it!! It certainly appears that he will turn rotterdam inside out and expose EVERYTHING!!!

Looks like most rotterdamians misjudged the man.....perhaps?

Rumor has it that he's not going to cave to the rpd either. He'd be fair we hear, but he won't sell the farm like every past administration has. He's stirring up a hornets nest there.

But hell....what's he got to lose....??

89.11 Appoint John DeGeorgio of Rotterdam, to the position of Project Coordinator –
Office for the Aging, effective March 1, 2011.

I hear he is very good with the seniors.

CERTAINLY NOT HONEST FRIENDS....maybe he chose to be their 'Jesus'....we still need to look behind the curtain to see how tall

You nailed it,Senders!   "Go ahead buddy" before my term is up...and his term is coming to an end in November!
