as one of the few (if not only) members of the YW Coffee Room who actually holds an elected office in a Town Hall I resent being called a clown.
I and my fellow legislative body members deal with the budget,taxes laws/rules and regulations that provide Police, Fire, EMS, school buses, pave and plow the roads, library, public parks, pools, etc.
And not a single member of this body gets a cent for our many hours of service nor do we get reimbursement for expenses.
Working to make our communities better and safer places to raise our families does not make us clowns
