PETER, PAUL AND ED BLACK

     Here we go again. This ride is getting truly nauseous, what with the same uphills and downhills, the same turning upside downs keep repeating. Now it is even getting dangerous.
     Ed Black, a man who is not an elected official of UCO, yet who runs approximately six committees and basically runs David Israel, has often stated that the financial principle of "rob Peter to pay Paul" is a financially sound one and just fine of our Village. Well, it is not. I repeat, it is not!
     With budget after budget being presented, with Howie O' Brien, the Treasurer, seemingly going every which way that David Israel and Ed Black want him to, we are back to the future again. Once again we have a budget that has no basIs in reality. Once again, we have a budget that does not present the truth but only numbers that make no sense. Once again, we have a budget and a proposal that will take all the monies out of various reserve funds, without explaining that to the delegates, and leave us once again in a no cash situation to pay our bills. We had that once before and do not need it again.
     One cannot live from the air. Money is needed to pay current and forthcoming bills and money is needed to be put away for future needs. They have got our roads lasting for 30 years. Are they out of their minds - no, only liars and cheats and financial incompetents with egos and minds fastened only on their own needs, their own desires and not the Village's.
    The only way to defeat this, to send a message that we will not have this is to vote NO  NO   NO at the assembly. Defeat all of the motions to transfer money, to spend money, to add more money with fees and to discuss a contract with DSL, the same company that was rejected by UCO's OWN expert last time around. Read Dorothy's article and understand the danger we are in.
     Read the article just before this one, written by Dorothy Tetro who pulled our nuts out of the fire last time. Read it and weep for she is no longer Treasurer and the one we have appears to be selling us down the river. They talk of property values? Well, watch them sink into the sea when we become a bankrupt village.

NO  NO  NO
