Two Public Hearings Requesting Public Input - Game Over?!

Dr. Castagnola stated at 2/7 Public Hearing, "I said in the video this is probably one of the most important issue facing the Town. I probably should change that and say that this is THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE that will face the Town of New Fairfield.", and he further stated, "Our intention this evening is to gather input concerning the building project. We want to use this meeting to hear reactions to the video concerning the needs which exist and also listen to your ideas and concerns from members of this community."

On 3/1/2007 BoE, the Board clearly was not interested in hearing ideas and/or concerns from members of this community. In fact, two elected officials were summarily cut off during their public comment. The BoE cited, process, procedure, policy in cutting off public comment.

What are your comments?
