We are ENTITLED to know what town officials and and appointees - paid and unpaid, elected, appointed, and volunteer, where they live, are they current on taxes, where they are invested, political contributions, assets and that goes for those with whom they make their home.
Where is all the information kept? It must NOT be hiddeen in the town where the taxpayers have to request to view the stuff.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

Other towns and cities in the capital region have this information on their websites, i.e. various committees and member names, along with the official minutes of meetings. Rotterdam is really behind the curve on this one.
The above link contains the minutes of Rotterdam government meetings.
The Ethics Committee is not listed.
Here is a list of all listed documents:

I wouldn't say the documents posted on the town's website are "minutes of meeting." And the website doesn't list the committees and members. Take a look at Glenville's website...all the info is there...they even have videos of their town board meetings. http://www.townofglenville.org/Public_Documents/GlenvilleNY_BComm/index

that's because Glenville does it RIGHT!!!!
They encourage the residents to be involved!!! In rotterdam...and especially under the democons....everything is a secret and their is no transparency what so ever. COVER UPS, LIES AND SECRETS is how the demcons do business!
The thought of an ethics committee in rotterdam is a joke!!!
