I cannot believe that, after all the time that Joe Meier spent on the Salem Town Board, the Board would be disrespectful enough to hold a Town Board Meeting on the night of his wake. It showed absolutely no respect for his family, or for the employees that wanted to go to the wake. At the very least, the Town Hall SHOULD have been closed on Monday. I’m thoroughly disgusted with all of the board members and the administrator for making such a totally disrespectful choice.
