Simple minds think of the simplest solution. Providing good service to the general public throughout your elected term is the most logical solution to making sure you are re-elected, but since that didn't happen, playing catch-up prior to the election is what would strike him as most rationale and goal oriented. This town needs some new blood more interested in serving the town's citizens than their own agenda. Too many of the current members think things should be "a secret" or none of our business. This is no longer an acceptable way to run a town or village government. We only need to look at today's paper to see where a town turning a blind eye to the elected member's behavior to understand that. The Town Judge in Genesee was sentenced for taking from the town coffers. Nobody was paying any attention to her actions. It hurt the town and public opinion. Blind faith is no longer an option in the Town of Wirt. Dan you are asking a lot for Curt to do anything logical. Simple minds think of the simplest solution.

However, it would stand to reason that the increase in road work and road changes should actually be relevant to the town. So they chipped 2 roads, over a mile of chip, and there are 5 people residing on these roads. I am not the road supervisor or the highway super. But I do know that is not logical. I understand what is beign done and I will be interested to see the town census to include the tax hike on the individuals on these newly chipped roads. Based on relative understanding it would only stand to reason that the roads have been chipped due to the town wanting to suck up to certain invididuals or they are out to get certain individuals with increased taxation due to living on a chipped road. Either way, this town is in need of a change and not just in the elections. New blood, maybe someone with an actual education in their field, or at least more experience than "oh well I have seen it before". Old values will never get this town out of the rut it is in and those in power in the town will continue to remain there unless the town changes.

One house is a board member, one house is a town highway employee and the other is on the other end. This was a huge waste of taxpayers dollars. I have noticed though that now that it is closer to election time Mr. Rung is getting along with the village. I am curious to see how long this will last. I have also noticed while driving through town that he has made sure to hit a little bit on each road. Convenient!

C. Rung stated that he would look into it but I see it still remains undone but the Hassard Rd has been. I would be interested to know what the cost effective stratagies and cost effectiveness rational for chipping that road were/are. Due to my knowledge that road has been dirt for over 20 years and until recently only had one occupant living on it. The mail has always been able to pass over the dirt road and even though there are now 2 residences on the road, there still remains only 1 mail box. The new residence is less than a year old but the resident lived on, near, and owned the property on the Dirt Hassard Rd for the entirety of his living in Wirt. The chipping was only done on the wirt end of the road, it was done to a road that travels no school bus, no major traffic destinations, and its not even a short cut for most destinations, so why NOW. Why spend money on such a project while other projects are ramaining unfinished, half done, or not being done at all.

It is also necessary that the town clerk provide complete and accurate minutes. I suspect this will be accomplished in the near future.

This would be useful to the voters when an election for that position came up. Even though the board may be satisfied with one line reports it would be better if a more detailed report could be given. You can only file so much.
