Not one of the Village Boards better moments

At the last Village Board meeting, a disallowance of claim was denied by the Board for a slip and fall at the Village RecPlex as a person had slipped and injured themselves supposedly coming from the pool area to a party room. Trustee Clyde Allen held up a sign from the RecPlex that says individuals are not supposed to walk from pool area into party rooms with wet swimsuits. During the discussion, Trustee Yuhas asked if the signs were in Spanish as the person named as claimant was Malgorzata Vargas . There were several murmurs and laughter from the President and other Trustees, including a loud and clear 'No Comprehende ' from Trustee Allen. Trustee Yuhas was visibly upset and stated why she asked the question. Most audience members were taken aback by Trustee Allen's, and the rest of the Boards, handling of her question. I'm interested to see what the approved Meeting Minutes from 11-05-2007 will look like. I think Trustee Allen and other Board members have a little explaining to do.

Trustee Allen should apologize publicly and should be forced to resign -- just like they do to everyone else who makes a politically incorrect slur.
Don Imus, Dog, and now "On your side" Clyde!!!

It is time to think on your feet Ms. Yuhas. To have another Trustee blatantly react in an unprofessional manner that displays bigotry is unexectable. To sit there and NOT defend your constituients.. ( of course maybe you were in shock at such an archiac display )
No wonder the board does not want board meetings taped for channel 25. Personally, I am appauled at such behavior.

I agree. That was very unexectable. Wait, is that in Spanish?
