Desso Wants Full Time Raise

Rumor has it that the Executive Session of the Town Board last night had a couple of items on the agenda. One was Lou Desso's desire for a big pay raise to make town taxpayers pay for his pending loss of his undeserved county job.

The law is tricky in this regard as the budget process requires that salaries be posted in the newspaper when the budget is released. This also insures that voters know before an election what the salary increases, if any, are before they go to the polls.

We'll keep an eye on this as Mr. Desso has proven himself to be greedy when it comes to shaking down folks for contributions and not paying his bills as an alternate means of getting money. Last thing we need is town taxpayers becoming Lou Dess's employer of last resort.

The other pending issue is a search for a new police chief as Chief Durivage will be retiring. We'll keep you informed as events occur.
