Town officials' claims of "openness" and "transparency" fall flat when the community is "greeted" at the door by a sign declaring:

NO WEAPONS,
NO RECORDING DEVICES,
NO CAMERAS.

[Are these all the same thing?]

Especially troubling: The sign went up right after the Town Board was informed in a public forum by a State Official that the public IS allowed to audiotape, videotape, and photograph public meetings.

Many, many questions.

Few if any straight answers.

And lots of simple math that does not add up.

But as the saying goes, a picture is worth 1,000 words.

And, so, here are some of the pictures that We The People of the Town of Durham are faced with:

• No Municipal Services, 142% Higher Taxes
• And how Durham's taxes compare to other Upstate New York communities that are similar to Durham -- small, rural, ... (Benchmarks/Comparables)
• Code Enforcement?
• Dog Control -- or Dog-Controlled?
• Becker Electronics Site
• The Irish Cultural Center: One Cottage, HOW Much?
• $600,000+ for "Historic" & "Scenic" Preservation of ... WHERE?

And in addition to the above, we draw your attention to the following:

• Durham's Durhty Local LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers)   [Sexual Misconduct]
• Durhty Local LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers), Part 2        [Illegal Arsenal]
• And, of course, Sunshine: The Blog

And there's lots more coming.

So please, stay tuned.
