No Funds To Reopened Library


"What kind of a town cancels Library hours when there is another town department that has a $800,000 surplus?" 

Wrong again about the $800,000.  You like that number a lot but, sorry it is not accurate. But lets talk about the library. The amount of money that is being spent on FOIs would be enough to reopen the library.  Perhaps you would like to cover the cost of your PD FOIs, so we can open the library again.  If you want all this FOI information, I think the taxpayers would agree that you should be the one to pay for it.


Instead of blaming John Dayton or the Fire Department for the cut in library hours, warm up your never-ending FOI machine and find out which Town Department cut their budgets, and which department did not.  You may find that the blame for the shortage of funds for the library falls on someone else’s shoulders. The Fire Chief can close any building in town if shown to be unsafe, yet I don’t believe he has any power to fund the library that results in its closure.

I believe I have heard that Mr. DeAngelis has some sort of expertise in Library operations. I have, as of yet, been unable to verify that, but I think it might be true. If that is so, then why doesn't he VOLUNTEER some time to help the library out, if he is so concerned. My sources tell me that he doesn't volunteer to do anything, yet to be verified, of course, but perhaps he could help out, like the many others around town who volunteer in so many ways. Pat, grow up, stop your whining, and get out there and be part of the solution!!!! FOI requests, etc, are counter-productive when you don't do anything with them.

I would have to say if Mr DeAngelis has so much time on his hands perhaps he should take the oath and become a volunteer at the library....so stand up pat and donate some time to our children in need
