At a recent Town Board meeting, I was “politely” reminded that, as just 20% of the five-member board, I should stop raising issues the other 80% disagree with.

After writing about my own experience learning music later in life, I realized something important — my story isn’t unique.
Every week at local jams and music gatherings, I meet people who picked up an instrument well into adulthood. Some started...

Lack of Transparency in Meeting Change
By Councilwoman Susan Siegel
Why was the public shut out from addressing the Town Board at its April 28th meeting?
That’s exactly what happened when someone in town hall changed the meeting’s format from...
