Springville Action!

😡 Someplace to be: From the Springville Journal: Erie County Legislator and [insert your own descriptor here] Lindsay Lorigo is planning office hours at Springville Village Hall on June 10 from 6-7:30pm. Sounds like an opportunity to share what’s on your mind about local issues and the need for local leaders to step up, speak out and defend Medicaid, SNAP, Meals on Wheels, freaking libraries, [insert your most precious topic here], and things that Conservative Party members like her claim to champion – constitutional standards, transparency, fiscal responsibility. We have time. Think about potential creative responses. Other dates for neighbors: Holland Town Hall on September 16 and East Aurora on October 28.

🗳️ Something to vote on: School board elections are next week, May 20. You may have contested elections in your district. In others, like SGI this year, everyone’s a winner. Regardless, familiarize yourself with the candidates and budget. All districts have this information available on their web sites. BOE elections are PLAGUED by low turnout. If you have some questionable characters running – and I will spell it out here, people who love the idea of hating children, books and ideas – rally your neighbors and make sure the final result is a good one for students and your community.
