To the Editor:
What does our lawyer say?
Let me explain: At the Feb 13 Village Board working session, the majority voted to transfer $189,000 from various (unnamed) parts of the 2011 Village budget and thus to start work repairing the DPW building as soon as possible.
I had understood that the Board had previously hired a lawyer to explore litigation aimed at those who designed and built this unsafe DPW building. The suit would force those who built it badly in the first place to pay for repair, not the taxpayers.
I'm only a taxpayer, but I would like to know what that lawyer advises, before we spend more of my tax money repairing this unsafe building. Maybe legal action isn't possible, but I want to know.

Litigation is not only possible, it's something any group of enraged citizens can do. The board of trustees needn't be bothered. A better approach would probably be criminal prosecution, because the mayor is wrong. The comptroller's audit report leaves a definite criminal aroma all over the entire process.

The audit report shows that the village has a history of either hiring or placing or electing unqualified people into positions they have no business to be in or as stated by Dave,possible illegal activity. Who is involved in the
COHLDC?

Who will pay for litigation? Lawyers don't work for free.
Every time a trustee calls the lawyers with a question it costs taxpayers money.
