Three (3) Minute Comments

The current Town Board consists of Chairman-Elmer Ragen, Supervisors- Dave Pribyl and Douglas Allen.

When a Town Board Meeting is posted, it says “open meeting”. This means that you may attend, sit and listen, but shut up. Just ask Mark Fischer. Yet the state Attorney Generals Office says we are striving for “Transparency”. If this is true, why did Douglas Allen make a motion which was seconded by Dave Pribyl and approved by Elmer Ragen to “Cancel” the 3-minute comments by the towns electors? Maybe they did not want to listen to what the towns people had to say! This was done March 13,2017 at a monthly Town Board Meeting. Check the minutes.

By the way, if you are an employee of this township this ruling does not apply and you will get a response by the Town Board to boot.

There was no reasoning for the 3-minute comment cancellation, ask Elmer, Dave Pribyl, or Douglas Allen. By the way there is no real, 3-minute rule, the time limit if any, is dictated by the Chairperson. These three don’t know the rules and don’t really care.
