Readers Write: Candidates’ claims about trustees untrue

The Island Now

Recently on social media, I saw that Brian Dunning again posted an article that accused the Board of Trustees and mayor of Munsey Park of refusing to let people speak at a meeting.

I was at that referenced meeting and nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, this was the second meeting regarding a proposed walkway to Munsey Park Elementary School.

At the first (where I was also present), Mr. Dunning railed against the proposed walkway for the better part of an hour because he felt traffic might be increased on his street during drop off and pick up.

At the second meeting, after an hour of open discussion on the issue, Mr. Dunning again filibustered that “the walkway was a solution without a problem.” The Mayor had to restore order to the meeting and move on.

For Mr. Dunning to continue to circulate a false article instead of correcting it, is despicable. More notably, the proposed candidates seeking positions with the village have spent the better of the last four years rejecting, complaining and arguing about every possible option that could and should keep our children safe.

The school, church, elected officials and the village have all come together to create solutions to maintain the safety of our community, yet this opposition from Mr. Dunning and his cohorts continue to halt these noble efforts.

How are they fit to run for a position that is so oppositional to the best interests of the people they would be tasked to represent?

They should not only be denied a voice going forth, they should be denied everyone’s vote on March 20.

The existing team of Noone, Sabino and Turano have my unequivocal vote!
