I may be naïve and see things from a simplistic point of view, but what kind of town board votes, or even proposes to vote, to change a law/ordinance in order to profit well connected or related individuals?  Why aren't you, the town board, doing what you are supposed to do and represent ALL of us? (Notice the emphasis on "ALL".)  I have no intention of getting caught in the crossfire of egos and super egos.  Specifically, between "Newcomers" and "Old timers".  My expectation is and will remain that the town board represent me above and beyond their personal need to see individuals, be they friends or relatives, prosper monetarily.

Furthermore, do not think for a second that you, the town board members, collectively or individually, have the right to minimize a vote by me or my son, whether that vote be by secret ballot or public indication, simply because it is sympathetic to a position that you do not personally agree with.  Do not attempt to neuter my vote because it is the same as that of the "lake people." 

I would like to think that I have friends on both sides of the issues confronting our town.  But it is no friend who shows contemptuous disrespect for my rights as a citizen simply because it differs from his/hers.
