Sounds like this blog.<br /><br />No wonder we are in this position. While you people rant, they pontificate and nothing gets done. You are all the same.<br /><br />You try running a town where everyone thinks they know everything and has to prove they are right -- at the expense of everyone else. Town meeting is the biggest waste of your time and money. <br /><br />At least you can fire Larry Shaffer, but Town meeting is forever. And ever. And ever. <br /><br />Have you ever watched Town Meeting? They want to import Guantanamo releasees to Amherst. That is their idea of how to run a town, invite Osama's cousin to live in Village Park. Now there's a great idea. <br /><br />And you complain about Larry Shaffer? At least he has someone watching him, like you and the rest of Amherst. Town meeting would have all of Guantanamo living in Amherst and no one would say a word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-26993826727249262722010-01-20T15:48:03.977-05:002010-01-20T15:48:03.977-05:00Then try electing an honest one.Then try electing an honest one.Larry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-16373300852806511992010-01-20T15:37:31.699-05:002010-01-20T15:37:31.699-05:00Right so they can end up in pridon like so many ot...Right so they can end up in pridon like so many other mayors.
