And in relation to wasteful expenditures by our county government that are mostly orchestrated by our County Administrator, interesting to see that Supervisor Trala was apparently able to read Katie’s handwriting and move to give the Administrator a 1.5% bonus (of course seconded by Bennett). Kinda like patting your dog on the head after he rips up your new leather recliner. Also interesting to see that the county, on this coming Tuesday night, will pass a new rule that will not allow any citizen to defer their 3 minutes of speaking time to another citizen. Not that it matters too much in this county, as the sitting Board (except Mr. Hogg) very rarely even blinks an eye at what you have to say anyway — that is, unless you are one of the chosen few who are allowed freedom at will to come and go through the “curtain.” Citizens of Northampton County should take a lesson from the citizens of Ashburnham, Massachusetts, when they reportedly lodged a “vote of no confidence” against Nunez, perhaps contributing to her resignation. We need to dust off the broom and do some housecleaning before the mismanagement of this county costs us a hefty tax increase, which appears to be just around the legislative corner. Thanks to Granville again for standing tall — and stoic! Godspeed, Granville.
