We have one on Monday and I can't even make that because I have relatives in town for my son's wedding on the 12TH . this is the first I've heard of a meeting, seriously. If it is to start changing the ordinance again to suit all the NIMBYS , I vote NO on any changes . The town board is not supposed to fold to political pressure on zoning issues.
