Two Western Kenosha County towns are holding special meetings this week.
In Salem, a special Town Board meeting will be held at 9 a.m., Monday, July 19, at Town Hall. Among the items on the agenda are the proposed incorporation as a village referendum and perhaps the phrasing of a referendum question. Other items on the agenda include second quarter 2010 budget, preliminary 2011 budget, the new fire station/public works building well and the Heath property.
In Paris, there will be a special meeting at 3:30 p.m. in the Board Room of the Public Safety Building. The notice states that the Town Board will meet to consider and possibly approve hiring the town clerk/treasurer for additional duties and establishing an hourly wage for work as a town employee. At the last board meeting, the need for a special meeting of electors was discussed in order to increase the town clerk/treasurer’s pay. At an electors meeting, any eligible voter residing in the town could vote. However this meeting notice does not say it will be an electors meeting.
Have a special meeting for the electors, but not tell them, and then, have it at 3:30 in the afternoon? Somethings smells rotten in Paris and it’s not the dump.
Exactly! This happens over and over in Paris. It time for a change in the town board. These games have to stop.
