I wrote recently that our newer council members are not working for residents and the town's best interests. Well, they showed that bad behavior once again.
At a recent town council meeting, agenda items included proposals to vote themselves raises of over 80%, while voting for only a 2.5% increase for town staff. Inflation is expected to be around 3-1/2%, so it appears the council’s thanks to our town staff is, essentially, pound sand.
However, there was some good news! A slim majority of council members, including McMahon and Kalivianakis, decided 80% increases for themselves was ridiculous, especially in light of the lost battle they fought for town employees.
