Town chair Robert "Bob" Catalino discussed the Southtowns Democratic Club's award of the lifetime achievement award to Carol Meissner at the Evans VFW on Saturday, May 16th.  He described her years as Town Clerk, during which she has worked with 7 supervisors and 29 councilmembers. 

Catalino discussed the local petitions seeking to decease representation on the Town Board, from 5 to 3 members.  This would increase the citizen to board member ratio, and diminish the ability for a taxpayer's voice to be heard.
