Finding Ulysses

The Sweet Shoppe has opened on Main Street in Trumansburg, and the phlox have opened on the side streets as well.

Trumansburg water comes out clean in the newest report. The same cannot be said for one of the arguments used to justify the creation of Water District 5 throughout the Town of Ulysses.

Trumansburg Village Trustees Chris Thomas and David Filiberto were both responsive and gracious in their phone calls back to me tonight about the gaps in online information about village activities.

We ought to have full and accurate, up-to-date information about the activities of our village government online, but we don’t. Take a look at the online minutes for the Trumansburg Village Board of Trustees, and you’ll see what I mean.

There’s nothing in the news to indicate that this evacuation exists, much less what might be causing it. Is there actually an evacuation of the Cannon Congressional House Office Building? If so, why aren’t we hearing about it, and does no one on Michael Arcuri’s staff have a cell phone to get in touch with the Auburn office?

Members of the Ulysses Town Board were not notified by Doug Austic that the meeting was even taking place. How can we in the Village of Trumansburg take anything about Water District 5 at face value when even our representatives on the Town Board can’t get straight answers?
